The cover design of this notebook is inspired from Beiya, The Interpretation of Fish: As the saying goes, a fish jumps over the dragon gate and changes into a dragon; the fish must be a carp. This means that one should go upstream with aggressiveness and aspiration. The red carps living in the Yellow River hear about the good view around the dragon gate, and they all want to go see it. However there is no waterway up to the mountain of the dragon gate, so they have no way to go up there and end up gathering at the foot of the north hill of the dragon gate. A crimson carp volunteers to the front: Let me try it! Ill jump first. So, it gathers all its force to jump from some hundred meters away, like a flying arrow, soaring up to the clouds in the sky and bringing the clouds and rains to go with it. A streaking flame of fire is blazing from behind, burning up its tail but the carp endures the pain. Finally, with a big leap it jumps over the Dragon Mountain and falls down into the pool at the south hill. In a flash, the carp is transformed into a giant dragon. Later on, Li Bai, the great poet in the Tang Dynasty, wrote a verse for this: In the Yellow River lives a three feet long carp It should have been living in Mengjin temple But by stroke of fate, it cant be a dragon So it ends up mingling with ordinary fish
