"The tale of carps turning into dragon tells a story about carps leaping and crossing over "Dragon Gate" to transform into the dragon. A symbolic meaning of the ability to resist hurdles and achieving success. The carp is a tough fish that could resist big currents in China's ancient Yellow River. It represents the attributes of perseverance and determination. They are able to persistently resist hardship, swim upstream and rapidly jumping above the water to reach heaven to symbolize great achievements in ones pursuit or high ambitions of a lifetime."
