Legend of the Silver Gourd Bracelet
Once upon a time, there was a kind herbalist who lived at the foot of the mountain. Every time he went up the mountain, he would bring a small silver gourd filled with emergency medicine powder.
One day, he met an injured white-haired old man in the mountains, and saved him with the medicine in the silver gourd. The old man smiled and said, “You are kind-hearted, so this gourd will bless you.” After that, he turned into a wisp of green smoke and disappeared – it turned out that he was the mountain god.
Later, the herbalist found that the silver gourd could actually dispel poisonous insects and protect peace, so he made many silver gourd bracelets and gave them to the villagers. From then on, people believed that wearing a silver gourd could avoid disasters and bring good luck, and this custom has been passed down to this day.
Meaning:
Keep healthy (gourd contains medicine, silver can ward off poison)
Prevent disasters (mountain god blesses, exorcise evil and protect the body)
Gather good luck (kindness is rewarded, and good fortune comes naturally)
