It is said in ancient China that as long as carp can jump over the dragon gate, it will become a real dragon. There is also a legend that Longmen opened up for Ying Long, and there is a poem praising: "What you have achieved in Que is great in Ying Long", and Que is Yi Que. When carp yue longmen, there will be Ying Long hovering over. It is a metaphor for things such as promotion and promotion. It is also a metaphor for going against the current and striving for progress.
Second, the content of the story
Long, long ago, before the Longmen was cut open, the Iraqi water was blocked by the Longmen Mountain, and a big lake accumulated in the south of the mountain.
Carps living in the Yellow River all want to go sightseeing when they hear that Longmen is beautiful. They started from the Yellow River in Mengjin, Henan Province, passed the Luohe River and followed the Yi River to the splash mouth of Longmen, but there was no waterway on Longmen Mountain, so they had to gather at the foot of the northern mountain of Longmen. "I have an idea. How about we skip this Longmen Mountain?" A red carp said to everyone. "So high, how to jump?" "If you don't jump well, you will fall to your death!" The partners are so confused that they can't make up their minds.
The red carp volunteered to say, "I'll jump first and have a try." I saw it use all its strength from half a mile away, like an arrow leaving the string, jumping 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 the Longmen Mountain and fell into the lake in the south of the mountain. In a blink of an eye, it became a dragon.
Seeing this, the carp in the north of the mountain were scared to shrink together, and they were afraid to take the risk again.
At this time, I suddenly saw a dragon descending from the sky and said, "Don't be afraid, I am your's partner Red Carp, because I jumped over the Longmen and became a dragon. You should jump bravely!"
Hearing these words, the carp were encouraged and began to jump off Longmen Mountain one by one. But most of them can't get through except for a few who jump over and turn into dragons.
Anyone who can't jump over and falls from the air will have a black scar on his forehead. To this day, this black scar still grows on the forehead of the Yellow River carp.
Later, Li Bai, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote a poem specifically for this matter: "The three-foot carp of the Yellow River originally lived in Mengjin, but it didn't last long, and returned with all the fish."
