Fish is one of the important foods that the ancients depend on for survival, and it is therefore regarded as auspicious. In the Spring and Autumn Period, Kong Qiu had a son, and someone gave a pair of squid for congratulations. Confucius was very happy and thought it was auspicious. For this reason, he even named his son a scorpion fish. When he arrived in Mencius, he regarded the fish and the bear's paw as a noble food, and left the words "fish, what I want, bear paw, and what I want", which shows the value of the fish at that time. The people of the later generation not only inherit this kind of thinking, but also give the fish a strong human touch and Chinese characteristics.
