Story of Carp Jumping Dragon Gate

a long time ago, the dragon gate had not been opened, and the waters came here and were blocked by the dragon gate mountain, where a great lake was built up.

the carp that lives in the yellow river has heard that the dragon gate is beautiful and wants to visit.

they set out from the yellow river in monzin, south of the river, passing through the lo river and following the ii river to the place where the flood of the dragon gate was splattered, but there was no water on the mount of the dragon gate, no way to get up, and they gathered under the foot of the north mountain of the dragon gate.

"i have an idea.

how about we skip the mountain?" a beautiful, fast red carp said to everyone.

"so tall, how can we jump?" "you can't jump! you guys can't make it." and the big red carp volunteered to say, "i'll jump first and try." it's only half a mile away, and it's like an arrow in a string, and it jumps and jumps into the clouds and drives the clouds and the rain forward.

the fire came from behind and burned its tail.

in pain, it continued to leap forward, finally crossing the dragon gate mountain and falling into the lake in the south of the mountain.

the carp in the north saw the red carp's tail burned down in the fire, and they were so scared that they wouldn't risk it again.

and then, behold, a dragon descended from heaven, and said: fear not, i am your companion, the red carp, because i jumped over the gate and became a dragon, and you shall dance with courage." the carp listens to these words and is encouraged to start jumping one by one.

but with the exception of individual jumps that turn into dragons, most of them can't get through.

when you can't jump, you fall from the air, you have a black scar on your forehead.

until today, this black scar was on the forehead of the yellow river carp.

later, the great poet of tang chau, li bai, wrote a poem devoted to the matter: “the three-foot wall of the yellow river, which is inhabited by monzin, is a small amount and returns to its companion fish.”
