The Dragon Gate, known as the Tōryūmon in Japan and the Longmen in China, is a mythical gate located at the top of a waterfall that cascades from a legendary mountain.
It is said that while many carp swim against the river's strong current, few are capable or brave enough to make the final leap over the waterfall. If a carp successfully makes the jump, it is transformed into a powerful dragon.
As such, paintings of carp attempting to leap the Dragon Gate are enduringly popular in China, Japan and other parts of Asia. The imagery symbolizes a sudden uplifting of one's social status, most commonly through success at the imperial examinations. Today, references to a carp leaping over the Dragon Gate is often used to encourage someone to achieve success through hard work and perseverance.
