South-West Chinese God of Wealth - Liu Hai (刘海)



Liu Hai(刘海) was Prime Minister serving for the King of Yan, Liu Shou Guang (劉守光), during the Five Dynasties of China.

Soon, He left his official position and pursue the Taoist Way.

Liu Hai carried out many good acts to help mankind that included defeating malevolent demons.

On one occasion, Liu Hai vanquished the Golden Toad - an evil spirit that had terrorized people for years. The toad was injured during the battle when one of its legs was severed, leaving it with only three limbs.


The defeated Golden Toad swore loyalty to Liu Hai and became a devoted follower, performing kind acts to atone for its past wrong deeds.

This 3 legged toad had the ability to transport Lui Hai to anyplace he desired to go in an instant.

Being a toad by nature, it loves the wet and darkness of the well, therefore it often hide itself to the nearest well available nearby. To get the toad back, all Lui Hai had to do was threw a string lined with Gold Coins as bait and it would always took the gold coin bait and returned back to Liu Hai.

It also possessed the amazing ability of vomiting gold and silver. The treasure was used to aid Liu Hai to help the poor and spread wealth to benefit the mortal folks.

Take Note:
I've not seen any Taoist Medium in trance of  Liu Hai (刘海) Deity. You may like to buy a consecrated Statue of Liu Hai (刘海) by a Taoist Master/Priest >> Consecration of Taoist Deity Statue. Then you can "Shake A Cup" of Numbers while facing Liu Hai (刘海) Statue.
