Sunset in fishing village is one of the eight scenic spots in Xiaoxiang. According to legend, Song Di, a painter in the mid-Northern Song Dynasty, created Eight Scenes of Xiaoxiang. The eight scenic spots are: Qingshan Mingshan, the sunset glow in the fishing village, the return of Pu Yuan, the rainy night in Xiaoxiang, the night bell in Yansi, the autumn moon in Dongting, the wild geese in Pingsha and the dusk snow in Jiangtian. In this painting, the mountains and rivers and trees are dyed with broad and wet ink, and the sky and water are dyed with light ink, which sets off the clouds and creates an atmosphere of steaming clouds in the sunset. The painting style reflects the typical characteristics of Jiangnan landscape painting.
Whenever the sun sets, the fishing village bathed in the sunset glow becomes a fairyland. You see, the leisurely hut has turned into a golden hut, the melodious smoke has turned into a golden mist, the green leaves are shining golden in the breeze, and the river is swaying gently with the golden waves, just like a huge golden scale fish wagging its tail gently. The fishing boat is back. The golden sail, the golden smile on the fisherman's face and the golden waves form a beautiful picture. How many poets are moved by it, and the prodigal son of Tianya lingers!
