Goldfish is an ornamental fish. All along, people have the habit of keeping goldfish, whether it is a pond in a park, a lake in a scenic spot or a fish tank at home. Goldfish is not only cute and smart, but also a beautiful symbol of wealth and good luck. It is unlucky to eat goldfish, because no one eats goldfish at this time.
Goldfish has always been loved by people because of its beautiful appearance. The ornamental value of goldfish is much higher than its edible value. In the long river of time, goldfish has been endowed with many beautiful meanings by China, such as: more than a year, beautiful, auspicious, safe and so on. Ornamental fish, such as goldfish, have evolved into many kinds after several generations of cultivation, which can be roughly divided into three categories: literary species, dragon species and grass species. After human cultivation, goldfish itself contains many factors such as culture and emotion, so it is not included in people's recipes, just as people usually don't eat it after their beloved dog dies.
Goldfish is a species with gene mutation. The earliest record of goldfish was actually discovered when Li Shizhen visited Lushan Mountain. Later, it was found that goldfish was actually a variation of "golden crucian carp". After thousands of years of evolution, golden crucian carp has become the common goldfish we see now. There are many kinds of goldfish. At present, there are more than 240 kinds of goldfish in China.
Goldfish is a variety of crucian carp, which is the product of genetic variation. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties in ancient China, people had raised goldfish in ponds. Then it began to spread abroad in the Ming Dynasty, 1502 to Japan, 17 to Britain at the end of the year, and 19 to the United States at the beginning of the year. Scientists at home and abroad have published a large number of works on the formation process and factors of goldfish varieties, confirming that goldfish is a typical mutant variety produced under domestic conditions, and the reason for not eating goldfish lies in people's concern about genetic mutant varieties.
Goldfish are small in size and have many fishbones. A goldfish is not as fat as other fish, and the price of goldfish is not low. People don't have to eat goldfish. Besides, goldfish is a mutant species, so it's hard to say what's strange after eating it. So people in China don't eat goldfish even if they love fish.
