Do you know about this pattern? Ⅶ (Hyoutan - 葫蘆 )

In ancient times, hyoutan were often used as containers for water and were very close to people's lives. It is believed that a large number of hyoutan seeds means the more descendants a person has, the more prosperous and successful their family will be and the appearance of the vines climbing around and growing fruitful is also considered to mean a prosperous business.

In addition, when the six hyoutan patterns are combined to form "Liokulao", the pronunciation is similar to the Japanese word "no disease", which means auspicious. Therefore, the hyoutan is also regarded as an "auspicious pattern" that brings good luck.
