Bring wealth and good fortune to your Oriental home and garden decor with
this gorgeous Money Frog.
The
three legged Money Frog (called "Chan Chu" in Chinese) it’s the most
significant symbol of prosperity in Feng Shui. The toad is often sitting on
top of a bed of Chinese gold coins, with one coin fixed within the mouth so it
will always stay in place. It is linked to the moon and associated with
monetary gain, wealth and good health. Chinese legends say that the Money Frog
was the wife of one of the Eight Immortals. She was being turned into a frog
as punishment for stealing the peach from heaven. Naturally greedy, she craves
for money and wherever people see a Three Legged Frog, there is prosperity to
come.
Since
the times of ancient China, this mythical Money Frog protects against
misfortune and brings good fortune and wealth to the household. The money
frog is usually placed near cash registers or if in the home, is best kept in
the corner diagonally across from the entrance to a room. T he corner of a room
is known to be the focal point where chi gathers. The Money frog is placed in
these corners to activate what is traditionally believed to be the “Wealth
Luck” of the household. Also, placing the frog inside the front door facing
inwards symbolizes money coming in to the home or business. The back of the
Money Frog often shows 7 diamond dots depicting the Ursa Major Stars (Great
North Pole 7 Stars). Chinese Astrology is based on these seven stars. These
same 7 stars coupled with 2 hidden supporting stars in the Northern Skies
represent the famous 9 Stars of the Bagua.
