Why is the hand pulled gourd also known as the immortal gourd

Hand pulled haws have many different names. In addition to the name "hand pulled haw", many places also refer to it as "reverse chain", "weight not falling", "chain gourd", etc. Among them, there is a particularly interesting name called "immortal gourd". So, what is the origin of this name?

The term 'immortal gourd' is clearly a folk term, and as it has become widely used, it has become a widely used term among people. The term 'immortal gourd' has a special meaning, representing omnipotence. In the splendid cultural history of China for thousands of years, there have been various mythological stories, and the immortals in these stories often have gourds accompanying them, such as the gourd of Tai Shang Lao Jun and the gourd of Tie Guai Li in the Eight Immortals.

In these myths and legends, the power of gourds is evident. The small hand pulled gourd has a strong load-bearing capacity, weighing only a few tens of pounds, but can lift several tons of heavy objects, which also shows its strength. It is under the influence of these mythological stories and profound cultural heritage that the name "Divine Gourd" was born.
