The radical "labor" is simplified to "labor". Save strokes and simplify them according to ancient calligraphy.

Original intention: to get something from water or other liquids. Such as: fishing, salvage, looking for a needle in a haystack. Extension: extension refers to "obtaining by improper means", for example, making a profit.
Cantonese refers to the meaning of mainlanders and mainlanders, and the word itself has no derogatory meaning: ~ Tou (foreigner), ~ Tsai (mainlander boy) and ~ Mei (mainlander girl) (Cantonese people will also call themselves fishing when they go abroad, and the word itself has no language color); Sometimes words are followed by indecent swearing, which makes the meaning of words insulting. For a long time, mainlanders who don't know the truth mistakenly think that the word "protecting fishing" itself is suspected of degrading, which leads to misunderstanding.
The source of "fishing":
"Fishing" comes from the word "fishing pine". According to legend, when the People's Liberation Army went south to liberate Guangdong, most of the soldiers were northerners from Shandong and other places. They used to call Guangzhou people "brothers" in Mandarin, but at that time, Guangzhou people were not familiar with Mandarin, so they directly pronounced "brothers" in Cantonese as "yusong".
Some people also say that "Lao Song" is a transliteration of English Northern, which means "northerner". Later, "Yu Song" became the name of Cantonese as a foreigner, and "Yu Tou" evolved from "Yu Song".
