- Description
The Chinese word for fish is Yu (surplus) and nine sounds like everlasting so nine carps coming together symbolizes unlimited abundance.For many centuries, the Carp has been regarded as the traditional Feng Shui fish. It is a very strong creature, and there is a tale behind this. It is said that the carps attempted to swim against the powerful current of the Yellow River, so that they could swim through the Dragon Gates and be transformed into a Dragon.
Because the Carp made such a treacherous journey, it is seen as a symbol of determination and strength. Also, the Carp swims upstream by repeatedly jumping out of the water and towards the heavens
