The Origin and Story of Wuliu Fish

Five Willow Fish is a famous allusion in Chinese traditional culture, and its origin can be traced back to the Eastern Han Dynasty. It is said that Emperor Huan gave Sima Xiangru five carps at a banquet, but Sima Xiangru put the fish into a stream, and soon five weeping willows appeared.

Later, these five weeping willows became the subject of frequent depictions by literati and poets, and were also called "Mr. Five Willows", and were closely related to cultural arts such as poetry and calligraphy.

The allusion of Five Willow Fish is also often used to express the spirit of loyalty and integrity, because Sima Xiangru refused to accept the emperor's gift and put the fish back into nature, reflecting his adherence to moral principles and respect for the natural environment. At the same time, Five Willow Fish also symbolizes the qualities of loyalty, purity, flexibility, and toughness, and is widely used in literature, art, education, and folk art.
