Sudhana (Chinese: 善財 ||pinyin]]: Shàncái; Wade-Giles: Shan3Tsai2) translated as Child of Wealth, is the main protagonist in the next-to-last and longest chapter of the Avatamsaka Sutra. In Chinese traditions he is also one of the acolytes of the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara (Guan Yin) and is paired with Long Nü. He and Long Nu being depicted with Guan Yin was most likely influenced by the Jade Maiden (Chinese: 玉女 ||pinyin]]: Yùnǚ) and Golden Youth (Chinese: 金僮 ||pinyin]]: Jīntóng) who both appear in the iconography of Yù Huáng.
