I wonder if you are interested in Japanese Children's Day across the ocean? Let's take a look with me. How did Japan's Children's Day come about

Japan's Children's Day is a traditional festival. Every year on May 5th (before the Meiji Restoration, it was the fifth day of the fifth lunar month), Japanese families would celebrate their children's growth. This day was originally a traditional festival in East Asia? Dragon Boat Festival? (Japanese: Dragon Boat Festival) In Japan, Dragon Boat Festival is only a festival for boys, but not for girls. In 1948, when it became a public holiday, it became a festival to celebrate the happiness and welfare of all children. On the day of the festival, families in Japan will hang fish-shaped signs on the roofs to symbolize children's overcoming bad luck, overcoming difficulties and growing up smoothly. The flying of the carp flag originated in China? Looking forward to success? And? Carp yue longmen? The legend.

The Legend of Carp in yue longmen

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 beautiful red carp said to everyone, It's so high, how can you jump? If you don't jump well, you'll die! ? 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 Longmen Mountain and fell into the lake in the south of Shannan. Carps in the north of the mountain saw that the tail of red carp was burned by skyfire, and they were scared to shrink together one by one, afraid to take the risk again. At this moment, I suddenly saw a dragon descending from the sky and said, Don't be afraid, I am your partner, Red Carp, because I jumped over the Longmen and became a dragon, so 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 specially for this matter:? Three-foot carp from the Yellow River, originally living in Mengjin, failed to make it, and returned with all the fish. ?

Foolishly, the red carp that jumped from Longmen to Jackie Chan is certainly worthy of praise, but those carp that failed to jump from Longmen returned as extraordinary fish, and they are still the best among freshwater fish. Don't you see, people admire them every year? Isn't it a compliment to the big carp in the arms of the big fat doll in the New Year pictures instead of other fish?

Nowadays, people compare yue longmen, a carp, to a brilliant career. Therefore, domestic koi fish can not only appreciate beautiful fish, but also play a positive role in bringing good luck to people's career.
