The water hazard is impassable, and fish and turtles can't get on. There are thousands of big fish in the river and the sea, so it's a dragon. " "Yellow carp goes upstream, and the winner is the dragon."
There is a description of "Longmen Red River" in the chronicle of bamboo books. Every spring, a large number of sturgeons swim in Huilongmen cave and gather, jumping frequently two or three days before spawning. When the sturgeon jumped out of the water, its bloodshot red fins also surfaced. At that time, thousands of big fish turned over the river and looked red from a distance. This is the "Longmen Red River". Because there are many fish, which can reach several miles or last for several days, there are also sayings of "Red River for three days" and "Red River for three miles" in ancient books.
