In this tableau, a carp probably climbed up the waterfall as the boy played on the drum. The ancient Chinese said that a carp that could swim upstream through the Dragon Gate (the strongest rapids of the Yellow River) would turn into a dragon. This story symbolized success and thus was popularly associated with young boys.
