Carp jumping over the Dragon Gate is an ancient legend in China, which can also be understood as a fairy tale. \x0d\ Long ago, before Longmen was opened, Yishui was blocked by Longmen Mountain, and a large lake was formed in the south of the mountain. \x0d\ Carps living in the Yellow River want to go sightseeing when they hear that Longmen is beautiful. They started from the South Mengjin Yellow River, crossed the Luohe River and followed the Yi River to the splash gate of Longmen, but there was no waterway on Longmen Mountain, so they had to gather at the foot of Longmen North Mountain. "I have an idea. How about we skip this Longmen Mountain? " A red carp said to everyone. "How can you jump so high?" "If you don't jump well, you will fall to your death!" The partners are confused and can't make up their minds. Red carp volunteered and said, "I'll try it first." I saw it exhausted all its strength from half a mile away, like an arrow that left 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. In a blink of an eye, it became a dragon. Seeing this, the carp in the north of the mountain are scared to shrink together and dare not take any more risks. Just then, I suddenly saw a dragon descending from the sky and said, "Don't be afraid, I'm your partner Red Carp, because I jumped over the Longmen and became a dragon." You have to jump bravely! " "Hearing these words, the carp was encouraged and began to jump off the Longmen Mountain one by one. But except for a few who jumped into dragons, most of them couldn't get through. Anyone who can't jump over and fall 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. \x0d\ Later, Li Bai, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote a poem specially for this matter: "Three-foot carp in the Yellow River, originally living, failed to make it, and all the fish returned.
