In the old times, a Hulu (a dried gourd) was often carried by Daoists as drinking bottles and medicine containers. Over time, its symbol became metaphysical as a sign of longevity and immortality. Tang, in ancient times means a high dignified hall, often used as temple, palace or school. Hulutang hereby signifies where we follow and teach the principles and practices of the Dao (or often called Tao).
The Daoists and their related practices can be dated as far back as 5000 years ago. From these principles and practices, we engage with the public in various different contexts including Chinese martial arts classes, Chinese medicine clinics and programs based on Daoist philosophies and practices.
