Here are three ways to explain this famous saying.
Literally, this sentence means that golden scale fish (golden crucian carp or goldfish) are not objects in the pool. They will never stay in the pool for a long time. In the event of a storm, they will jump into the sky and become dragons. As an inspirational quote, this sentence is used metaphorically, meaning that an unknown person will stand out as long as he meets certain opportunities, thus realizing "goldfish leaping over the dragon gate". When Jia Yucun was first written in A Dream of Red Mansions,
There is a saying: "Yucun sings because he is thinking about his life ambitions, but he was born at an inopportune time. Instead, he scratched his head and looked up at the sky, chanting a couplet:' jade is looking for a good price in the rafters, and women are waiting to fly in the rafters.' Among them, "jade seeks a good price in the rafters, and women wait for time to fly in the rafters" also expresses that once the time is ripe, they will become famous in one fell swoop.
Second, the source? "Golden scales are things in the pool, which will turn into dragons in case of wind and rain" originated from the series of novels The Tempest by Huang Yi, a Hong Kong writer, published in 1997. There are four sentences in the novel: "Is the golden scale something in the pool? It will turn into a dragon when it encounters a storm. Nine dragons and dragons have changed dramatically, and clouds will swim in shallow water. " Among them, "Is the golden scale something in the pool, and it will turn into a dragon in case of wind and rain" is a clue throughout the book and a suspense, which promotes the development of the plot of the novel. It is written in many places in the novel, such as in the "wedge" at the beginning:
"'Golden scales are things in the pool, and when it rains, it will turn into dragons', and the world is at your feet!"
In addition, I wrote elsewhere:
At the moment and BuJingYun two people looked at each other, our mind suddenly surges several years ago an expert said to him:
"Jin Lin is something in the pool? When it encounters a storm, it will become a dragon! "
? The novel refers to the bear, who needs Feng Heyun's help to develop his hegemony. Feng and Yun refer to Bu Jingyun respectively. They have a deep blood feud with the bear. Under the cultivation of the bear, they created a set of skills and finally defeated the bear together. So "success is also a storm, and failure is also a storm."
Of course, the novel "Golden Scales are Things in the Pool" also has a source. There is a saying in Wan Minying's "Xing Xue Da Cheng" in the Ming Dynasty that "the golden scales are the things in the pool, weighing nine times in a few days".
Thirdly, after the publication of the novel Fengyun, 1998 was made into a film Fengyun Unifies the World.

The hero is played by Sonny Chiba. In addition, there are games that make the wind and cloud. Since then, the phrase "golden scales are things in the pool, which will turn into dragons in case of wind and rain" has become an inspirational saying and has been widely used. Here are a few examples:
1. Is the golden scale something in the pool? It will turn into a dragon in a storm. The college entrance examination is a gateway for candidates. In any case, the college entrance examination is a relatively fair examination under the current conditions.
2. It is true that gold scales are things in the pool, which will turn into dragons when encountering storms. A man with real talent and learning will certainly achieve something if he can discover himself and wait for opportunities.
3. Is the golden scale something in the pool? It will turn into a dragon when it encounters a storm. Liu Bei's persistent mentality determines that once the opportunity comes, he will succeed.
? Like a latent dragon, it will soar in the sky one day. Golden scales are not things in the pool, and they will turn into dragons when they encounter wind and waves.
It's true that a talent who turns a dragon into a dragon in the wind and rain is not a thing in the pool after all, and is destined to soar and become famous all over the world! Everyone is a dormant dragon, all he needs is to wait for the right moment.
