Translation and Notes of Fishermen on the River

The translation of Fisherman on the River: Pedestrians come and go on the river bank and only like delicious perch; Look at those boats floating on the water like leaves, appearing and disappearing in the river waves.

Appreciation of Fisherman on the River

The first sentence of Fisherman on the River, "People come and go on the river, but they love the beauty of perch", shows a lively picture of people coming and going on the river bank, which naturally leads to the second sentence. People only love the delicious bass, but they don't pity the fishermen's hard work. This world is unfair. The last two sentences drew people's attention to water. Although the fish is delicious, it is difficult to catch, which expresses the poet's sympathy for the fisherman's suffering and also deeply exhorts the people on the shore who love the beauty of perch.
