Ch’an Chu, the money frog, can be found sitting either on a haphazard pile of coins, egg shaped ingots, or a bagua, the mirror of Feng-Shui. A vital part to the ancient Chinese mysticism is “Feng-Shui, ‘the art of adapting the residence of the living and the dead so as to cooperate and harmonize with the local currents of the cosmic breath (the yin and yang)” (Werner, 54). Broadly, it is the art of placement so that Chi, or energy, obtains its optimal flow, so as to achieve that balance of harmony. Ch’an Chu is perched atop the mass ready to pounce at anyone brave enough to consider stealing. His flared nostrils and red stone eyes present a menacing, almost evil look. Scaly arms lead to a neck-less head and a smooth fat belly. Out the corners of his mouth and draped over his shoulders lay tasseled strings tethered with more square notched coins. The string in his mouth keeps it open just enough to clasp a coin whose center is filled with the same red stone of his eyes. The coin in his mouth differs from the others by being engraved with a dragon and a long slender bird instead of written symbols. Etched onto the crown of his head is the circular symbol of the yin and yang. Looking down his back, one sees seven clear stones connected by a clear line, which turn them into the constellation of the little dipper. At the end of his back is his third foot, which looks distinctly left, having a knee joint that juts out to that side.
