In ancient fishing songs, there are descriptions of fishing scenes in spring, summer, autumn and winter. Du Fu's "Crossing the River" describes spring fishing: "You can't cross the river, it's already stormy in February. The boat is crooked, and the fish and dragons lie high. Zhang, disorderly blue robe. I asked your guests, and I saw you Cao. " Ning He's poem "Fishing Songs" describes summer fishing: "When Bai Mudan is cold, calm the wind and cut the waves lightly. Smoke is the power, the day is prolonged, and the fragrance attracts hibiscus to provoke the fishing line. " Describing autumn fishing is Meng Haoran's masterpiece "Facing Dongting", which reads: "The lake here in August is in harmony with the sky. Ozawa's water vapor transpiration on the cloud soil is white, and the waves seem to shake the whole Yueyang. I'm going to cross the water to find a boat and paddle. It's a shame to return home in the sacred age. Just as I am sitting here watching a fisherman casting, I feel like a squid. " The poet praised the occasional fish caught by fishermen by the river. Liu Zongyuan's Jiang Xue, which describes winter fishing, has never tired of reading it for generations: "There are no birds in the mountains, and there are no footprints in the thousand paths. A boat, a bamboo cloak, an old man fishing in the cold river-snow. " This five-line poem depicts a pleasing "Lonely Fishing in the Cold River" in refined language.
In some poems about fishing, we can also see the scenery of ancient fishing resorts. In the Ming Dynasty, Zhang wrote a poem entitled "Dongchigang, Yongdongshan Island": "Good water and good mountains are difficult to meet, who can get this bay clean?" Emerald came to the structure, and the arrogant voice slowed down. Zhu Xiang borrowed it and asked Zi Cang Ji Luo to return it. Most of the sea crest is realized, and the straight hook is also full of play. "
Some poems about fishing are subtle, and some borrow poems to expose the ugly phenomenon of ancient society. Li Qunyu, a poet in the late Tang Dynasty, wrote the poem "Let the fish go": "Look for the dragon early, don't wander in the rivers and lakes, you must know that under the bait, you touch the iron hook." This poem worries about the fish from the side, reminds the fish to be careful of the hook under the bait, and hopes that the fish will not wander in the rivers and lakes and find another more suitable place to live as soon as possible. Jie Jin was a famous genius in Ming Dynasty, and his "fishing poems" were well written. One day, he accompanied Ming Taizu Zhu Yuanzhang to go fishing. Jie Jin's fishing skills are very good, but Zhu Yuanzhang didn't catch anything for a long time, which is a bit embarrassing. Seeing Long Yan unhappy, Jie Jin respectfully said, "Your Majesty, although the fish is small, you know manners!" Then he recited a poem: "A few feet of silk fell into the water, but the gold hook disappeared. Ten thousand fish dare not go to the emperor. Long live the king who only catches dragons. " Zhu Yuanzhang was very happy after hearing this and repeatedly called it wonderful! Satire poems from fishing are more intriguing. A poem named "Fishing" wrote: "Catch fresh fish by the pond in the morning, turtle in the private room at noon, wishing fish on the poker table in the afternoon and mermaid on the dance floor at night." This poem is about fishing, which vividly and accurately depicts the "work" of eating, drinking and having fun at the grassroots level under some "public servants".
