The Dragon Carp is a good fortune symbol that has the body of a carp but the head of the dragon. Its popularity stems from the tale of its legendary valor in swimming against the current to reach the ultimate Dragon Gate and transform into a dragon. This portrayal of relentless perseverance and determination resulting in well-earned victory has turned the Dragon Carp into a symbol to represent great achievements in spite of hardships. Although often associated with scholastic feat and literary accomplishments, the Dragon Carp is also a potent emblem of happy outcome, joyful marriage, good fortune, abundance, and prosperity.
