Story of Carp's Leaping over Dragon's Gate:The Chinese word for carp is "li" which means advantageous or lucrative. Legend has it that the humble carp swims upstream against the rapid currents of the Yellow River to reach the Dragon Gate. Upon preparation it takes a courageous leap over the rapids and across the gate and transformed itself into the celestial dragon. This feat is comparable to the state examinations. The story symbolizes the olden days' scholar in preparation for his imperial exam. Upon successful attempt, he will enjoy a lifetime of wealth and prosperity as an imperial officer. The Carp therefore symbolizes great achievements and victories. According to Fengshui, having carp shaped items around your work or study place will enhance the "power" to achieve success.

This may be one of the more pricey hair sticks on the site, but it’s totally worth the extra money. The carving done on this hair stick is flawless and beautiful from every angle. I love it and I don’t regret spending that much money on it at all.

I have this hair stick in all three different wood types. The lignum vitae is probably my favorite, though. My friends ask to borrow them all the time because they are so gorgeous! This is truly a smart purchase for anyone who wants a classy new hair piece.
