This dragon gate fantasy oil painting depicts the theme of 鱼跃龙门 [Yu Yue Long Men]
This proverb comes from a folktale about carp leaping over Mount Dragon Gate to get to a beautiful lake on the other side. The folktale is believed to have taken shape sometime in the early Western Han dynasty (206 bce–9 ce). According to a later historical text, “carp leaping over Dragon Gate” had already become a well-known saying by the Eastern Han period (25–220 ce). [Berkshire Publishing Group]
The story about aspiring to become a dragon encourages people to work hard towards their dreams. Because of this story, carp fish or koi fish is often believed to have the potential to become a real dragon. And I think this is where the Pokemon Magicarp evolution comes from.
Although I have tried my best to match the color of digital profile and the actual product, the color might still vary depending on different monitor settings. Please be aware of this fact.
I hope you enjoy this “Dragon gate” fantasy oil painting.
