What does it mean to turn fish into dragons?

Ichthyosaurus is a traditional symbol pattern in China. Also known as fish dragon change. In ancient times, fish turned into dragons, which was compared to being the first. Being a dragon with a dragon head and a fish body is also a form of "dragon-fish mutual change". This form has existed for a long time in ancient China, evolved from folk customs and legends of past dynasties, and has a long history, which can be traced back to the prehistoric Yangshao culture-fish totem worship in Banpo period.

"Xiye Jing" said, "The wind tunnel comes from the north, the sky is a big water spring, and the snake turns into a fish." It was the earliest saying that changed the shape of fish. "Overseas South Classic" says: "The insect is a snake, and the snake number is a fish." There has long been a saying among the people that fish become dragons. "Confucius' Family Talk" records that Confucius was very happy to have a son, and Lu rewarded him with carp. So Confucius named his son carp, the word "Bo fish". In Shuo Yuan, there is a record that "the white dragon turned into a fish in the cold abyss in the past", and in Chang 'an ballad, "the big fish in the East China Sea turned into a dragon", and the carp circulated among the people jumped over the Longmen, all of which told the mutual changes of arowana. This kind of modeling appeared in jade carvings as early as the late Shang Dynasty, and it has developed in all previous dynasties.

"Feng Shiwen Ji Jian" Volume II: "Therefore, in the contemporary era, Jinshi is the dragon gate." Li Bai's "Hanshu Jingzhou": "Once you climb the Longmen, the sound value is a hundred times." Pipa Nanpu said goodbye: "My baby is out today, and my parents are coming to see me off. I hope it will become a dragon and fly into the sky. " Patterns are generally composed of fish and dragons, meaning wealth.
