Golden toad ornaments are based on folklore. Legend has it that there is a toad that can spit out money and has the ability to make money.
This toad troubled people for a hundred years, until a Taoist passed by and decided to relieve people's troubles. Toad lost a foot in the struggle with the Taoist priest, so he became a human figure, apologized to the Taoist priest and sincerely repented. Taoist priests found that it had the ability to discover wealth, so they asked it to help people find financial resources and help the poor.
Therefore, this kind of toad is called "three-legged toad" by the world. Hong Kong Seven Star Hall has this kind of decoration, which is called Three-legged Toad.
