金鱼之美,翩若惊鸿,婉如洛神,乃有目共睹,然金鱼之中国血脉,璀璨历史却鲜为人知。www.en-ch.com
金鱼发端于赤鳞鲫鱼,先后经历古刹放生,宫廷宠幸,民间蓄养,风骚逾越千载,可咏可叹兮。古人赞其为“祥瑞之物”,周恩来总理喻之为“国之瑰宝”,今人则美其名曰“动静相宜之艺术品”。

| Goldfish is famous for its beauty, which is as graceful as a startled swan or the Goddess in Luo River. Meanwhile its Chinese origin and brilliant history are virtually unknown yet. Goldfish, originated from red-scale crucian carp, has witnessed a history of more than a thousand years along with many well-mined events for instance the free-life pond in ancient temple, the favorite of the royal family and then extensive breeding among the civil society, all of which well deserve so many anthems about it. Ancient people regarded it as the “auspicious creature”. In modern times, Premier Zhou Enlai once praised it as a “National Treasure”, and people today call it “A Moving Artwork”. ………… |
