This Dragon Gate (lóngmén) – aka Yu’s Doorway (Yǔ ménkǒu) – is in a narrow gorge where the Huang He river separates the provinces of Shanxi and Shaanxi, and said to be where Dà yǔ split the mountain in two, and founded the Xia dynasty around 4000 years ago.įurthermore, in keeping with this propensity for visual puns, the Chinese character for fish is 鱼 – yú. Lucky fish in Asian mythologyĪccording to the Chinese legend, “lǐyú tiào lóngmén” (literally, “Carp Jumping Dragon Gate”), the carp can swim upstream, jump to the top of a waterfall called the Dragon Gate, and transform into a dragon. Furthermore, thanks to it producing a plethora of eggs, the carp symbolises abundance. This is due to its ability – much like that of the salmon – to swim upstream in order to reach its spawning grounds, despite the current trying to force it downstream.

The carp is a symbol of luck in many countries around the world but particularly in East and Southeast Asia, where it’s symbolic of perseverance in the face of adversity.
