People who come to the river often only love perches.
Look at those poor fishermen, floating up and down in the big waves and rocking in the boats.
Fan Zhongyan is a politician who advocates innovation. During the reign of Renzong in the Northern Song Dynasty, he served as a counselor and presided over the political reform. He was able to care about the sufferings of ordinary people living in the lower classes of society and wrote some poems sympathetic to the working people, but few of them have been handed down.
This poem is simple in language, vivid in image, strong in contrast and intriguing, reflecting the hardships of fishermen's work and arousing people's concern about people's livelihood. This article describes the hardships of life and labor. It is pointed out that people who come and go drinking and having fun on the river only know the delicious bass, but they don't know and don't want to know the hardships of fishermen fighting the stormy waves.
I recommend it carefully.
