Fisherman Zheng Xie's comments and translations are as follows:

Precautions:

Buy food: buy rice.

Translation:

I sold the fresh fish for 200 pence, bought rice, parked the boat and prepared to start cooking. However, reeds are wet and not easy to ignite, so they can only be dried on the ancient shore with weeping willows for the time being.

Original text:

200 yuan, who sells fresh fish, buys food and cooks it and puts it back on the boat. It is difficult to burn wet reeds and bask in the ancient weeping willows.

Appreciate:

"Food is the most important thing for the people". Fishermen in feudal society lived only by fishing. This poem closely follows the word "food", and every sentence describes the hardships of fishermen's lives, and every word reveals the poet's deep sympathy for poor fishermen.

Poetry is written by line drawing, narrative is combined with scenery, language is popular, image is vivid, there is no fake carving, no painting, and the picture moves naturally. First in the market, then on the water, and finally "frozen" on the shore, this short poem has the beauty of "thousands of miles in size"

It describes the daily life of fishermen and the unique features of Zeguo, a water town where they live, and is full of poetry and painting. It's really a picture of a fishing boat on Liu 'an, and it's really written by a poet and painter.
