The implication of yuhualong teapot

The implication of Yuhualong Zisha Pot is the meaning of diving into the dragon's gate, which means that it is successful in my official career.

Since the late Qing Dynasty, Yuhualong, which means good luck, has been a favorite pot type for many Zisha artists and collectors. In recent years, "Yuhualong" teapot has also frequently appeared in large and small auctions, and has a good performance. To know the origin of the fish-shaped dragon pot, we must first talk about the legend of carp jumping at the dragon gate.

A red carp advocated jumping over the Longmen and volunteered to be the first to try. It mustered all its strength, exhausted all its strength and jumped into the clouds for a long time. At this time, a mass of skyfire fell from the sky and burned the tail of the red carp. It endured the pain and continued to leap, and finally jumped over the Longmen and fell into the lake in Shannan, turning into a dragon. The rest of the carp were afraid to jump when they saw that the red carp was burned by the sky. Suddenly, I saw a dragon descending from the sky and said to them, "Don't be afraid, I am your partner, Red Carp. I jumped over the Longmen to become Jackie Chan, and you jumped bravely!" "

The carp were encouraged to go to yue longmen in succession, but most of them couldn't jump, except for a few carp who could pass the incarnation of Jackie Chan. Anyone who couldn't jump fell from the sky and hit his forehead with a black scar, so now the carp in the Yellow River have a black scar on their heads. Li Bai, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty, once wrote a poem for this matter: "The Yellow River three-foot carp originally lived in Mengjin. If you don't make it into a dragon, you will come back with every fish. "
