历代诗人、画家常常以金鱼为题材，吟诗作画。The poeters and painters of various dynasties often take goldfish as theme,poetry and painting.鱼代表着吉祥，金鱼象征着金有余（鱼），所以历代过农历年时，以金鱼、鲤鱼为题材的年画、剪纸，是倍受人们欢迎的年货之一，家中挂上金鱼年画，养着一缸锦鳞闪闪的金鱼，贴上大红对联，昭示着新的一年吉庆有余（鱼）。Fish represents good fortune, a symbol of goldfish are more than goldfish (fish), so during the period of Lunar New year, with goldfish, carp theme of paintings, paper cutting, is the most welcomed New Year shopping to many people, goldfish paintings hanging at home, with a cylinder of Jinlin flashing goldfish, putted red couplets on, shows the beginning of the new year having more lucks and (fish).国内外称之为金鳞仙子、水中

牡丹、东方圣鱼，金鱼可谓是我国传统文化宝库中一颗璀璨的明珠。The Jinlin fairy, water, peony, Oriental Holy fish, goldfish called in domestic and international countries can be described as a treasure house of Chinese traditional culture, a shining pearl.

鱼类和人类的关系甚为密切，早在石器时代，人们就捕捉鱼类作为食物。The relationship between fish and humans are very close, early in the Stone Age, people catch fish as food.在距今3200多年前，中国已有了养鱼的记录（根据殷墟出土甲骨卜辞），由于长期的

捕鱼、养鱼，同鱼类接触的机会颇多，所以很容易发现在野生鱼类中发生变异的种类，在野生鲫鱼群中偶然出现金色或红色的鲫鱼，早在两千年前的古书《山海经》中就有红色鲫鱼的记载人们对这种现象有一定的神秘感，把这类鲫鱼放入放生池中（即池塘中养殖），当时人们把金色或红色的鱼类统称为"金鱼"，这就是培育金鱼的开始。In 3200 years ago, China already had a record of growing fish(based on turtle shells and bones unearthed in Yin Ruins), because long-term fish catching ,fish growing and the chances to contact with fish are many, so it is more easy to find the types of mutations in the wild crucian carp and in the occasional group of golden or red crucian carp, as early as two thousand years ago the ancient books, "Shan Hai Jing" have documented this phenomenon of red carp that people have feel mysterious to this type of carp and released them into pond, at that time, people generally call this gold fish and red fish as goldfish,that is the beginning of cultivating goldfish.

Jin Dynasty in AD 265 ~ 420 years, this is the earliest record found in red fish years of existing datas.“赤鳞鱼”即红色鱼，但是否就是红黄色金鲫鱼，还难以确定。"Red scaly fish" ,so to speak, is red fish, it is difficult to determine whether it is red or yellow goldfish.至

此可见，金鱼原有4种，只有金鲫耐久。Thus we can see that there are four kinds of original goldfish, and only golden carp are durable.从金鲫耐久这一事实来判断、晋朝桓冲在庐

山湖中见到的赤鳞鱼，恐怕就是野生的红黄色金鲫鱼。Durable gold carp from the fact were judged, the one Jin dynasty Chaohuan seen in the Red Lake Lushan, fish scales, I am afraid that is the wild red and yellow gold carp.其实赤鳞鱼在未被人们发现之前早已存在于自然界了，人们才能偶然见到它，赤鳞鱼的出现可能比晋朝还要早些。In fact, red scaly fish are not found to already exist in nature before, people can occasionally see it, the
