What does it mean for fishing boats to sing late?

Meaning: In the evening scene as the sun sets, fishing boats return one after another and songs are heard on the water.

Source: "Preface to Tengwang Pavilion" by Wang Bo, a poet of the Tang Dynasty: "The setting clouds and the solitary swans (wù) fly together, the autumn water is the same color as the sky. The fishing boats sing late, the sound is on the poor Pengli shore; the wild geese are frightened. Cold, the sound cuts off Hengyang Pu."

Vernacular translation: The setting clouds and the lonely geese fly together, and the autumn water and the long sky merge into one. In the evening, singing came from the fishing boat and reached the shore of Pengli Lake. The wild geese whined because of the cold and stopped at the shore of Hengyang. Extended information

Explanation of artistic conception:

Beautiful mountains and rivers, bustling markets, and numerous boats carry the line from the first paragraph of "the treasures of things are abundant, the people are outstanding", and are related to the following "fishing boats sing at night", "The formation of wild geese is frightened by the cold" together constitute a picture that blends scenes and combines movement and stillness. In this section, the most praised sentence is "The setting clouds and the solitary swans fly together, the autumn water lasts for a long time and the sky is the same color".

This sentence is a visual feast. The main subject of the whole picture is the red sunset and the blue-green water light touching the sky, with white wild herons interspersed in between. The beauty of colors, dynamics, reality and reality, and three-dimensional beauty bring readers flawless imagination.
