金蟾

In our Chinese culture, the Jin Chan, or Golden Toad, comes from ancient Daoist lore—a symbol of wealth and harmony with the universe. Long ago, the immortal Liu Hai tamed a greedy three-legged toad that swallowed treasures and spat out gold. Using a string of coins as bait, he fished it from a well and turned it into a loyal guardian of prosperity. We place its statues in homes and shops according to feng shui, with a coin in its mouth to attract fortune, reminding us that good luck flows like water when balanced with nature.
