What is the allusion of "more than one year"?

In China myths and legends, the dragon king accidentally dropped the whale to the ground while distributing rain. Afraid of being blamed by the Jade Emperor, the Dragon King claimed that he sent fish to the mortal world, hoping that the people would have another year.

Legend has it that the Jade Emperor sent the Dragon King to rain immediately in the area of * * * light, and the Dragon King was ordered by the Jade Emperor to immediately transfer water from the sea and go to * * * light to distribute rain, but the careless and anxious Dragon King accidentally landed the whale with rain in the sea of * * * light.

The dragon king was afraid that the jade emperor would blame him, so he had a brainwave and claimed to send fish to the * * * light, hoping that the people could live for another year and asked the jade emperor to designate this fish as the fish god to bless the world.

This story is circulated among the people, and because of the homonym of "fish" and "surplus", fish can be regarded as "more than a year" and has become one of the most representative languages in China's traditional auspicious wishes.

In New Year pictures, we often use more than one theme every year, and make auspicious symbols in the form of pictures or paper-cuts. There will be pictures of lotus flowers or lotus roots, as well as fish, usually two fish or even fish. Lotus grows around fish, that is, "there are fish in the year of lotus" It means that life is rich, with extra wealth and food every year.
