In fairy tales, both carp and snakes can turn into dragons. What is the difference?

Dragons have a high status in our country. Although it has been proved today that dragons don't really exist, in the eyes of the ancients, the more things that don't exist, the more mysterious they are, and they are endowed with many meanings and abilities, so the ancient emperors will call themselves the real dragon emperor. In China's fairy tales, there are two kinds of creatures that can become dragons, namely carp and snake, but there are differences between them. The first is that the process of becoming a dragon is different, and the second is that the treatment after becoming a dragon is different.

You know, the process of turning snakes into dragons is very hard. First, snakes should keep practicing and become dragons in 500 years. At this time, the snake will become a horned dragon, and then it will become a dragon after thousands of years of practice. If someone seals it, it will become a serious dragon. Carp, however, is different. Compared with snake dragon, the process of carp becoming dragon is much simpler. After a certain amount of practice, there is a process of jumping the dragon gate every year. Skip it and you can become Jackie Chan. If not, you can continue dancing next year.

But after the success of snake dragon and carp ichthyosaur, the treatment of the two is very different. The process of turning a snake into a dragon is laborious and takes a long time, so the status and treatment of turning a snake into a dragon are much higher, while the process of turning a carp into a dragon is simpler and the time of turning a dragon is shorter, so the treatment is not as high as that of turning a snake into a dragon. For example, the white in The Journey to the West is the dragon turned by carp. Although he is the Dragon King of the West Sea, he has become a mount. It can be seen that the status and treatment of turning carp into ichthyosaur are not high, and he will be bullied by other immortals.

It can be seen that God is fair, and how much he has paid is directly proportional to how much he has paid. Therefore, Ying Long, which was transformed into a snake, has a high position in the history of our country. Ancient books describe that Ying Long will continue to cultivate as Huanglong, so the status and treatment of Huanglong are even different.
