The ancients found that in spring, these golden carp would go up against the water and form a jumping group in Longmen. But above the waterfall, because of the rapidity of the water, no fish could get on. So the ancients imagined that these golden carp would change and Jackie Chan would go up into the sky after jumping over Longmen. Carp leaps over the dragon's gate, which is used to describe the spirit of striving, forging ahead, daring to think and do, and daring to dream.

" In the Qing Dynasty, Zhang Shu compiled "the story of the three Qin Dynasties" and said: "the big fish in the river and the sea are gathered under the dragon's gate, thousands of them are not allowed to go up.

Historical legend

It is said that a long time ago, the Yellow river overflowed. Dayu, the son of Shun, inherited his father's business and controlled the flood. Yu's method of controlling the flood was dredging. The Jade Emperor ordered his little daughter to come down to earth and become a Tushan girl. He married Dayu and helped him to control the water. Dayu dredged the flood of the Yellow River to the northwest of Hejin, Shanxi Province, and the northeast of Hancheng, Shaanxi Province. It crossed the two sides of the Yellow River. It was shaped like a cliff gully in the gate, which eventually dredged the flood. This gully was called Yumen. Carp living in the Yellow River were rushed out of Yumen, and suddenly fell out of the waterfall more than ten feet deep. Carp could not go upstream and return to their hometown, so carp protested to Dayu and his wife. Tu shannu said with a smile, "I'll invite the Jade Emperor to play. Those who can jump into the gap will become flying dragons and soar up into the sky. Those who have broken their forehead and gills can only complain that they were born to be ordinary, so don't make trouble.". Since then, in late spring, countless golden carp have gone upstream along the Yellow River, gathered under the Yumen gate and leaped hard. Occasionally, those who leaped past turned into dragons and soared above the sky. Yumen is called "Longmen", which means "one leap at Longmen is worth a hundred times".

In the traditional costume, the story of "carp leaping over the dragon's gate" is often expressed by the fish in the dragon's head. This block shows that in the rolling waves of the river, the carp is forced to spit under Yumen, while the Ao fish leaps over Yumen and Jackie Chan is ready to fly to the sky.
