According to the Chronicle of Linz, Zhang Zeng had an audience with Yan Zhenqing, the secretariat of Huzhou, and asked Yan Zhenqing to help him to replace the boat because it was worn out, and wrote "Fishing Song". The inscription "Jade Grid" is named after Zhang's poem "Jade Grid". "Zi" is the abbreviation of "Qu Zi".

Translation:

Egrets fly freely in front of Mount Cisse, peach blossoms are in full bloom, the water is fast, the mandarin fish in the water is very fat, and the peach blossoms floating on the water are so bright. An old man on the river bank, wearing a blue bamboo hat and green hemp fiber, braved the oblique wind and drizzle and fished leisurely. He was fascinated by the beautiful spring scenery in the south of the Yangtze River and didn't want to leave for a long time.

This word describes the fishing scenery of Jiangnan water town during the spring flood. This is a landscape painting written in poetry, with clear mountains and rivers and the image of a fisherman.

The first sentence "Egret flies in front of Mount Cisse" and "Egret flies in front of Mount Cisse" point out the position, and "Egret" is a symbol of leisure. It is written that egrets fly freely, setting off the leisure of fishermen. The second sentence, "Peach blossoms and flowing water are fat for mandarin fish", means that at this time, peach blossoms are in full bloom, the river is skyrocketing, and mandarin fish are gaining weight. The pink here contrasts with the water, showing the lakes and mountains in front of the Cisse Mountain in late spring and exaggerating the living environment of fishermen. Three or four sentences "green bamboo hat, green hemp fiber, oblique wind and drizzle don't have to go back" describe the fisherman's fishing mode. The fisherman wore a green bamboo hat and green hemp fiber, and forgot to return in the oblique wind and drizzle. "Oblique wind" refers to a breeze. The whole poem is bright in color and vividly shows the fisherman's carefree life interest.
