Carp / Fish / Arowana

According to tales, 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 to reach its goal, 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 – this is a representation of an attainment of ambitions and aspirations.

Fish in Chinese "Yu" can mean "surplus", hence it is also a symbol of abundance. The symbol of Carps is said to bring many other benefits, including educational luck, career luck, good fortune and luck in literary pursuits. With all these advantages, you will be able to overcome any obstacles in your way, as well as overthrow any competition...

Excellent gift for students and goal-oriented people.
