Carp Fish Jumps Over Dragon Gate--Hundred times more valuable.

The legendary story of the fish jumping over the Dragon Gate took place at the site of the present-day Longmen Grottoes in Luoyang. Li Bai's "Gift to Servant Cui" says: "The three-foot carp in the Yellow River, originally residing in Mengjin, did not become a dragon, but returned to accompany the ordinary fish." The "Mengjin" in the poem is the lower part of present-day Luoyang, facing the Yellow River to the north.

Legend has it that after Yu opened up the Yiquet, the water flowed swiftly, and the carp swimming in the Yellow River in Yu Jin went up against the flow of the water of Luoyang and Yiquet, and when they swam to the Dragon Gate of Yiquet, the waves were so strong that they jumped, wanting to turn over.

Those who jumped over were dragons, and those who did not were left with a black scar on their foreheads, which is why Li Bai, a great poet of the Tang Dynasty, wrote in his poem "Gift to Servant Cui," "The three-foot carp in the Yellow River, which originally resided in Mengjin, did not become dragons by dotting their foreheads, and returned to accompany the ordinary fish."

The saying "Carp jump the Dragon Gate" is a metaphor for the carp's habit of jumping into the water. Carp and many other fish like to jump. Different fish jumping skills are different. Some fish jump very high, such as a kind of fish called "jumping fish" fish, it can jump from the water surface of four to five meters, can be said to be the fish in the "high jump champion". Carp can sometimes jump more than one meter out of the water.

According to scientists' analysis, there are several reasons for this. Some are caused by changes in the surrounding environment, such as the eve of the earthquake disaster, changes in the Earth's magnetic field, the fish feel threatened; such as in order to avoid the sudden attack of the enemy, and over the obstacles on the way; or by the sudden intimidation and other reasons. The fish's instinctive reaction for survival.

Another reason is physiological changes, when the fish reaches the time when it is about to reproduce, the body produces something that can stimulate the nerves, so that it is in a state of excitement, and therefore it is particularly fond of jumping.
