Legend has it that Taoist Liu Hai, a junior disciple of Lv Dongbin, the Eight Immortals, traveled around the world and subdued the golden toad demon who had harmed the people for many years. In the process of surrender, Jin Chan was injured and broke one foot, so there were only three feet left. This kind of toad is naturally fond of gold and silver treasures, has a keen insight into money and is good at digging up financial resources.

From then on, Jin Chan surrendered to Liu Haimen. Because Liu Daochang likes charity best, this three-legged golden toad who can only change money just helps him to change money and give charity to the poor, which has won the gratitude of the working people. For a long time, it has the effect of making money by relying on the power of faith. Since then, people have often used the three-legged toad as a treasure trove to make money. Therefore, the three-legged golden toad is not only an auspicious feng shui item, but also has the effect of attracting wealth and exorcising evil spirits, and also has the meaning of giving.
