Golden toad in aquarium and its moral in China's traditional culture【original】

Today, I continue with my new camera test, from still objective to animal, the target is a botanical garden of a small pool of toad, and rare golden toad.

Toad is actually a toad, the saying goes, the toad wants to eat the swan is actually toad. Although we see toad will not like him, but the contradiction is, do not see it, there are a lot of people like it. First, the secretion of toad is a Chinese herbal medicine, rare and expensive. Secondly, toad in ancient China has a lot of symbols, even now, there are a lot of people put in the toad crafts at home.

So what does toad specifically symbolize? According to my own research, the first toad can produce a lot of eggs, so long symbol of more than child blessing, the ancient worship of reproduction.
At the same time, the toads have hibernation habits, while the ancients look like the resurrection of the dead, the worship of the heart arises spontaneously.Then, because the toad body markings a bit like the ancient coins of the lines, so toads also symbolize the money, which is why toad Of the sculpture is often a shape with a coin.

New Year's Day, to see the golden toad, a symbol of good luck next year, but also the luck given to all.

今天继续新相机试机，从静物转为动物，目标是植物园某个小水池里的蟾蜍，而且是稀有的金蟾蜍。

蟾蜍实际上是癞蛤蟆，俗话里的癞蛤蟆想吃天鹅肉实际上就是蟾蜍。虽然大家看到蟾蜍会不喜欢他，但矛盾的是，在不看到它的时候，又有很多人喜欢它。首先，蟾蜍的分泌物是一种中药材，稀有而价格名贵。其次，蟾蜍在中国古代有很多的象征，即使现在，也有很多人在家里摆蟾蜍的工艺品。

那么蟾蜍具体象征什么呢？ 据我自己考证，首先蟾蜍一次能产很多卵，那么久象征着多子多福，古代就是生殖崇拜。
同时，蟾蜍有冬眠的习性.而古人看起来就像死而复生，崇拜之心油然而生. 然后，因为蟾蜍身上的斑纹有点像古代铜钱的纹路，所以蟾蜍也象征着金钱，这就是为什么蟾蜍的雕塑经常是含着一枚钱币的造型。

大过年的，看到金色的蟾蜍，象征来年好运气，也把这个运气送给所有人。
