Fortune gourd
A fortune gourd is an object placed on windowsills that brings luck and prosperity. It is very popular and has three main reasons for being placed on windowsills.
First, the mouth of a gourd is small and its belly is large, which allows it to accumulate Qi and attract wealth inside the house without letting it flow out. Additionally, it can absorb any misfortunes around the house. If there are any bad omens outside the window, hanging a gourd on the windowsill can dispel those negative factors.
Second, the homonym for “gourd” is “fortune.” In feng shui, gourds are symbols of wealth and good fortune. They also represent longevity. Therefore, both the rich and the common people have been placing gourds in their homes since ancient times. Third, gourds are practical and aesthetically pleasing decorations. Hanging them on windowsills not only adds beauty but also serves as a practical tool for human life.
In ancient and modern times, the gourd has been used by people to hold water and wine. Water symbolizes wealth, so a gourd holding water also attracts prosperity. Placing it on a windowsill is very auspicious.
Coins
Coins have been circulating in our country since ancient times and symbolize wealth. Therefore, placing coins on windowsills brings good fortune and wealth to the house.
When bad energy enters the house, coins on windowsills can block the negative energy and attract positive energy. This can enhance the fortune of the family, with natural income increasing easily. Moreover, the round shape of coins symbolizes wholeness and harmony. Placing them in the house not only has a decorative effect but also promotes family happiness, signifying wealth and fortune.
Plants
Taking care of flowers and plants during leisure time has been a habit of many Vietnamese people since ancient times.
In the past, planting flowers was considered an elegant activity, and many people used to grow some plants on both sides of their homes. In modern society, green plants are indispensable decorations in our homes. Green plants are full of vitality and can bring in good air. Windows are the connection between the house and the outside world, referred to as the “eyes of the house.”
Placing plants on windowsills can bring luck and positive energy into the house, as well as improve the indoor environment, creating a happy family. Additionally, if there are any unlucky events or unfavorable directions outside the window, placing green plants on the windowsill can dispel those negative energies.
Plants with thorns are not suitable for placing on windowsills as they do not bring luck, even though they are plants.
