El Carpa Salta hacia la Puerta del Dragón

In ancient legends, it is said that when carp in the Yellow River leap over the Dragon Gate (referring to the narrowest part of the Yellow River in the Jinshan Grand Canyon, known today as Yumenkou), they transform into dragons. The Pi Ya, a classical Chinese dictionary, notes, 'It is commonly believed that only the carp has this chance to become a dragon.'

Later, the expression 'carp leaping over the Dragon Gate' was metaphorically used to describe achieving success, passing an exam, or rising in official rank. Over time, it has also been used metaphorically to describe advancing against the current, making determined efforts, and symbolizing steady progress and advancement.
