This word embodies the author's love for freedom and nature in the beautiful waterside scenery and ideal fisherman's life. What is more attractive to readers in the poem is not the fisherman who is calm and contented with the wind and rain, but the picture of the spring river in Jiangxiang during the Peach Blossom Flood in February with rising water and misty rain.
The green mountains in the rain, the fishing boats on the river, the egrets in the sky, and the red peaches on both sides of the bank, the colors are bright but soft, and the atmosphere is peaceful but full of vitality. This not only reflects the author's artistic ingenuity, but also reflects his lofty, unconventional, leisurely and refined taste.
