He poured out the contents of the gourd and consumed it all, much like eating fried beans.

Background

The description of the medicinal gourd, "He poured out the contents of the gourd and consumed it all, much like eating fried beans," is from "Journey to the West," Chapter 5, where the Great Sage steals the elixir from the Peach Garden and the gods of Heaven capture the monster. This is one of the key events in the havoc wreaked in Heaven:

The Great Sage searched the elixir room but found nothing. He saw a fire by the furnace, with five gourds placed around it, each containing a refined golden elixir. The Great Sage joyfully exclaimed, "This is a treasure of the immortals! Since I began my journey, I have understood the principles of inner and outer harmony. I wanted to refine some golden elixirs to help others, but I had no time at home. Today, I am fortunate to encounter this treasure. While the old man is away, let me taste a few pills." He poured out the gourd and consumed it all, much like eating fried beans.

Gourds are commonly used as storage tools by Taoist immortals in "Journey to the West," often for holding elixirs. For example:

• The Longevity Star: "The gourd stores the elixir of life for ten thousand years, a treasure that grants longevity for a thousand generations."
• The Three Stars of the Sea: "Holding the star chart, adding to the sea house, with a gourd and treasure hanging at the waist."
• The Purple Gold Red Gourd of Silver Horn King (claimed by Taishang Laojun to be used for holding elixirs).

The vegetable garden of Wuzhuang Temple: "Planting lotus, wormwood, and bitter herbs, gourds and eggplants must be sown."

Additionally, the Traveler once used Guanyin's red gourd to temporarily create a boat to ferry Tang Seng across the River of Sand.

Miscellaneous

In both Taoist and Buddhist traditions, gourds are well-known. For instance, Tie Guai Li from the Eight Immortals uses a gourd to cross the sea.

Gourds often symbolize gathering energy, warding off evil, and attracting treasures, and they are commonly used as storage tools in reality.
