Summary
| Description |
English: In Chinese legend, carp were said to swim high upstream in the Yellow River to the Dragon’s Gate. Those few who managed to jump the gate were transformed into dragons. In Confucian China, this is used to represent students who passed the scholar's exam. It is used, in general, as a symbol of a great life achievement achieved through hard work and perseverance. |
