Liu Hai is one of the most popular members of the Chinese pantheon of charm figures and represents prosperity and wealth. There are a couple of versions of the story which have come down through history.
Lucky Golden Toad has connection with a famouse Chinese character Liu Hai. Liu Hai was a Minister of State during the 10th century in China. He was also a Taoist practitioner. A story says that he became good friends with a three-legged toad who had the fabulous ability to whisk its owner to any destination. This particular toad had a love not only for water but also for gold. If the toad happened to escape down a well, Liu Hai could make him come out by means of a line baited with gold coins. The story of Liu Hai is frequently told as "Liu Hai playing with the Golden Toad". There is a hidden meaning here. The Chinese word for "toad" is chanchu. Sometimes, Chinese will only say the first character chan. In some Chinese dialects, the character chan has a pronunciation very similar to Qian which means "coin". Therefore, a storyteller reciting "Liu Hai playing with the Golden Toad" could be heard by listeners as "Liu Hai playing with the gold coins".
