Women's daily hair styles are divided equally in the middle, with the temples falling into the water and braiding at the back. The braids are wrapped with black cloth or black silk thread, and then they are coiled on the top of their heads from left to right, which looks like a graphic chopping block, so it is commonly known as "chopping block bun". On weekdays, Jing women love the cone-shaped pointed sunflower hat to keep out the sun and rain. Jing women also have the habit of wearing earrings. When girls are six or seven years old, they have to get their ears pierced, and the timing is also very particular. They are all done on the morning of the Dragon Boat Festival, because the folks believe that there is "Dragon King Water" in the Dragon Boat Festival, and ear piercing is the most "auspicious" at this time. When the girl reached the age of fourteen, she began to comb her hair separately, knotting "chopping block bun" and wearing ear rings, marking the beginning of adulthood. Production custom
net-pulling operation
net-pulling operation is one of the large-scale fishing production methods operated by the Jing nationality. The large dragnet is eight to nine feet high and more than 12 feet long. The whole net body is composed of six dragnets, with large and sparse meshes. The net is 1 feet long and slightly peach-leaf-shaped, with seven feet high at both ends and more than one foot high in the middle. When operating, the former needs 3-4 people and the latter needs 2-3 people. The operating procedures are roughly as follows: (1) exploring the sea area, observing the fish situation and choosing the operation site; (2) In the place where the fish is found, slowly lower the fishing net with a bamboo raft or a small boat and form a large half-moon encirclement from the beach edge to the sea surface; (3) The net operators are divided into two groups, each holding one end of the net, and pulling the net to the beach together; (4) In the process of pulling, the two groups slowly draw close together while pulling until the net is full of fish. One net pulling operation is over. This kind of homework can be taken by both men and women, and it is not limited by the season. As long as it is calm or windy, it can be carried out at any time. However, this kind of net pulling operation is limited to shallow sea, and the operation is relatively backward, so the output is not very high.
A variety of fishing nets
In fishing and hunting operations, in addition to pulling nets, there are various gill nets (including fixed gill nets, flowing gill nets and spinning gill nets), plug nets (also known as gate nets or sculling nets), shark nets, shrimp nets, jellyfish nets, limulus nets and cuttlefish nets with special fishing and hunting objects. As for digging sand worms, harrowing snails, digging mud cubes, catching crabs, and beating oysters, they are all relatively simple operations in the small sea.
there are two kinds of plug nets: sparse nets and dense nets. The length and height of the nets are the same as those of pull nets, but the location of the nets is fixed on the beach. During the operation, people are divided into three groups, and each group is divided into three processes: piling, inserting, hanging the net (hanging the net on the pile) and picking sand (filling the net foot). The setting of this plug net is carried out in advance before the tide rises. When the tide rises, all kinds of fish and shrimps move into the plug net circle with the tide and fall into the "dust net" preset by fishermen for them. By the time the tide rises and recedes, the fish and shrimp have been blocked by the beach encirclement surrounded by fishing nets and sand, so they have to "wait for the capture" and become "prisoners" of fishermen. The difference between this kind of "plug net" and "pull net" is that the plug net focuses on the fixed "plug" and "plug", while the pull net focuses on "pull" and "fold", and their operations are different.
Shark net is a special net used for hunting sharks in the deep sea. Its net body is more than 12 feet long, 4 feet high, and its mesh is very wide. It consists of net wire, net float (bamboo tube), net pendant (lead iron or stones) and net mesh. In the process, four people mainly take a raft to intercept sharks in the deep sea where sharks are active (two people hold the raft and two people get off the net), and the two ends and middle feet of the net are dropped in the sea with heavy stones. After getting off the net, people go home to rest and wait, and some people wait on the raft. Until midnight or the next morning, they rowed the raft again to watch the net floating. When sharks were found in the net, they first let them get tired after struggling, and then put them on a long vine or rope one by one with tools such as harpoon or fishhook, tied them to the tail of the bamboo raft and rowed them back in strings. This shark net can keep hunting for three or four days every time it goes off the net, and it can even last for seven or eight days when there are many fish. This is a thrilling and fun fishing operation.
