The dragon has risen

The giant aoyu 鳌鱼 flower-lantern balloon from the National Games opening ceremony also appeared during the Spring Festival. (cr飞略大广东)

Aoyu is an auspicious creature from ancient Chinese mythology, with the head of a dragon and the body of a fish. It is the transitional form of a carp that has leaped through the Dragon Gate but not yet fully transformed into a Loong aka Chinese dragon.
