Carp is the most popular mascot in China.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, Confucius' wife gave birth to a boy, and someone happened to send some carp. Confucius "thought it was a good thing", so he named his son carp, which means "Apollo" ("The Pass" quoted in Taiping Yu Lan (Volume 935)). It can be seen that the custom of taking carp as a good omen has been popular in the Spring and Autumn Period, which is consistent with the record of the prosperity of the Zhou Dynasty in Historical Records of Zhou Benji.
In the long-term historical development, the people of China have endowed carp with rich cultural connotations.
Special: According to the latest network usage, this is a commendatory term.
Xinhuanet July 19: Fishermen always hope that the bigger their booty is, the better, but a fisherman in Thailand is worried about catching the Siamese giant carp, because it is too heavy, even far beyond the scope of his weighing scale.
Kike is a fisherman who works in a fishing club in Thailand. He managed to catch an oversized carp from Sammland Lake, a famous commercial fishing pond in Bangkok. After the fish emerged from the water, it kept flapping its big tail, and Kike and his companions managed to control it. When weighing, it is found that the scale of 100 kg points to the largest scale. Kike estimated that it weighed about 1 16 kg.
It is reported that the weight record of the world's heaviest carp, including goldfish, is 40 kg. Kike's boss said: "This big fish is what other anglers have been looking for all their lives, and even willing to exchange souls."
