Extended information idiom story:
Carps living in the Yellow River heard that Longmen has beautiful scenery, so they set off from the Yellow River in Jin Meng, Henan, crossed the Luohe River and followed the Yi River, and came to the place where Longmen splashed water. However, there was no waterway on Longmen Mountain, so they had to gather at the foot of Longmen North Mountain.
A red carp suggested jumping over the Longmen, and none of the fish in the same trade had the courage. Red carp volunteered to be the first to try. It used all its strength to jump into the clouds for a long time, driving the clouds and rain in the air forward. A mass of skyfire came from behind and burned its tail. It endured the pain, continued to leap forward, and finally crossed Longmen Mountain and fell into the lake in the south of Shannan. In a blink of an eye, it became a dragon.
Other carp unknown so, no fish dare to try again. At this time, a dragon appeared in the sky, told them it was the carp, and advised everyone to try bravely, but most of them failed, and some of them could not jump. Falling from the sky would leave a black scar on their foreheads.
Li Bai, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote a poem specially for this matter: "The Yellow River three-foot carp originally lived in Jin Meng, but failed to make it, and returned with the fish." This means that the Yellow River carp originally lived in Jin Meng, Henan Province. Because it didn't jump over the dragon gate and become a dragon, it can only continue to live among the fish.
