The boy on the present lot may depict Liu Hai, the legendary Daoist Immortal often shown in the company of a three-legged toad ( 蟾蜍). According to popular legend, Liu Hai befriended and subdued the magical creature, which possessed the ability to produce gold and silver and was therefore associated with the acquisition of wealth and good fortune. In art, Liu Hai is frequently represented enticing the toad with a string of cash coins, symbolising the attraction and attainment of prosperity.
The three-legged toad itself occupies an important place in Chinese folklore and Daoist symbolism. Associated with hidden treasure, it came to be regarded as one of the most potent emblems of wealth and auspicious fortune. The image of the toad emerging from a cave is particularly evocative, as caves and rocky grottoes were traditionally viewed as liminal spaces connected with Immortals and supernatural realms. The interaction between the youthful figure and the toad may therefore be understood not merely as a playful scene, but as an auspicious visual metaphor for the discovery of hidden blessings, the attainment of prosperity, and the pursuit of transcendence. Such imagery was especially appropriate on a scholar's object, where it conveyed wishes for both material success and spiritual cultivation.
