Extended information

Ancient fishing equipment:

1. Fish hooks

Fish hooks were the earliest fishing tools before there was metal smelting technology. The fishhook that appears is called a fish hook. It is made of several sections of wood or bones that are polished and then tied with threads made of various materials. It is wrapped with a large piece of bait and put into the water. When the big fish swallows it, , pull the fishing line to make bones or branches get stuck in the fish's mouth, and only larger fish can be caught.

Later, when humans entered the Neolithic Age, stone fishhooks appeared. This was also the first time that fishhooks similar in shape and structure to modern fishhooks appeared. Later, smelting technology appeared and mankind entered the Bronze Age, and social civilization entered a new stage. People discovered that they could make fishhooks by bending metal. The hooks were made of gold, and catching fish with gold was called fishing.

2. Fishing line

Fishing line is one of the indispensable tools for fishing. In the earliest times, the ancients used bark and tree stems to knead the line, but it was too thick to make the line. Used for fishing.

As people began to plant crops, cotton thread began to appear. Its soft and delicate characteristics allowed the ancients to use it in fishing. Slowly, people began to raise silkworms and reel silk. Silk appeared, and the ancients began to use silk as a Fishing line, before the advent of chemical fiber materials, silk has always been one of the best choices for fishing line. 4.

Fishing Alone in the Cold River Snow 5. Full text translation of the classic Chinese essay "Shuo Diao"

I live in a village, have no time on weekdays, and like fishing and swimming.

I am not proficient in the art of fishing, but I also understand the fun of it. During the Mid-Autumn Festival in early summer, after having breakfast, you can see the pond in the village when you go out. The weather is sunny, the sky is blue, the water is green, and the waves are shining.

I quickly packed up the fishing rod and line, took the basket and set off. Go to the pond, find a place with few aquatic plants, throw some fish food in it to attract the fish to swim, then place the baited fishhook and wait.

Squat aside and watch the float carefully. When the float moves, lift the rod quickly and you will get the big fish. Soon, the float didn't move at all. I slowly pulled the fishing line, but it still didn't move.

When my hands and feet were tired, I fixed the fishing rod on the shore. I looked around from the side and saw that the float was as motionless as before. After about a while, the float started to move. When I lifted the rod, I saw that no fish had taken the bait.

I said: "This is a small fish that wants to steal fish food. The big fish is coming." After a while, the float moved again, which was different from the last time. The pole caught a crucian carp, four or five inches long.

I thought again, since there are fish coming, I will be able to catch big fish soon. I stood up and waited, concentrating on hoping to get it.

Sometimes, I could catch one, but it was always almost the same as the first one and no big fish appeared. It's already noon and I'm feeling hungry.

I really wanted to go back to eat, but I couldn’t bear to go back and continue fishing. It wasn’t until the villagers came to the field after lunch that I put away my pole and took the fish home. After arriving home, my wife and children asked if they had caught any fish.

I showed them the basket and smiled. After lunch, I still went out to fish and also went to other ponds to find good fishing spots.

I didn’t go home until dark, and the harvest was about the same as in the morning. Sometimes I caught a slightly larger fish in a certain place, and I must have fished there several times, but I never caught more fish, sometimes not even one at all.

I often suspect that I am not familiar with fishing skills. I asked experienced people who often fish for advice, and they said that similar situations happened. We can see some truth from this.

I also took exams to seek fame at the right time. What is the difference between (that situation) and fishing like this now? When I first went to the government office to take the exam, I felt like I saw other people fishing and stopped to watch, squatting and watching. Those who failed in the exam for a long time were like fishing for a long time but no fish took the bait. Those who win the examination are like catching a small fish; if they are recognized by the officials and appointed as heavenly officials by the court, they are like catching a big fish. I am the kind of person who has just learned fishing, and I am not yet in such a state.

But there is an even bigger desire than a big desire, and there is still something you want after you get it. Those who can catch big fish (people who are high-ranking officials) must work hard to take chances and endure busyness and fatigue. They will never be satisfied until they die of old age.

How can I do what I am doing now and come home at sunset, earning a smile from my wife and children because I have gained nothing? Fishing is a comfortable thing and something that people who live in seclusion like to do. Its taste may be very similar to the pursuit of fame. But you don’t have to worry so much about gains and losses, because it’s not worth worrying about.

I'm just asking for fish, nothing else, so this should be fine. The original text is as follows: There is nothing to do in Yucun, and I like to go fishing.

Although the way of fishing is not good, we still know how interesting it is. In the early summer and mid-autumn months, the fleas went out after eating, and saw the clear blue water in the village pond. They quickly sorted out the fishing lines and went out with the basket in hand.

Go to the bank of the pond, choose an open space with water and grass and throw food into it, fish for it with bait, squat down and watch the float, think about its movement and then pull it, you will catch a big fish. No matter what, the float is silent, then slowly pull it, and it will still be silent. Now that my hands are tired and my feet are tired, I lean on the pole on the shore, swim and look at it, and it is still as quiet as before.

Only when the cover is over will it be able to move, but when it is moved, there will be nothing. Yu said: "This is the one who steals the food from the small fish. The fish is about to arrive."

And when the time is over, the move is slightly different, and the crucian carp can be caught by pulling it, which can be about four or five inches long. Yu said: "The fish has arrived, and you can catch the big one!" He stood up and waited for it, paying attention to get it, and he caught it all at once. The rate was the same as the previous fish, and there was no big one.

It was noon, I was very hungry and wanted to eat, but I could not bear to go fishing. When they saw the villagers' fields, they all finished eating and went out, then collected their poles and returned with the fish.

When I returned home, my wife asked if there were any fish? Yu shows that he is wearing blue and smiling at each other. After dinner, he still went out and went to another pond to find a fishing spot. He caught the fish at dusk and returned home. The fish he caught were as good as those before noon.

If you catch a slightly larger fish in one day, you will definitely count them, but you will not catch many, and maybe none of them will be caught. I suspected that Jun was not good, so I asked Chang Diaojia, and he said so.

Hee! This can be observed. I have been trying to get a position in the sciences, an official position, and a salary. How is this different from what I am doing? The first time you try something, you have a boss, that is, you look forward to it, squatting and staring; if you try it several times and you don't see it, it is someone who has not caught a fish for a long time; if you are lucky enough to be a scholar, or in the local examination, it is a small person who caught a fish. That is, if he enters the Ministry of Rites and serves as an official in the Heavenly Officials, he will catch a fish so big that even if we try to catch it, we will not be able to catch it.

However, there is a great thing above the great, and there is a gain after getting it. It is a door of luck, and you have to endure the hardships of the dusty road. When you are unsatisfied in your life, you will grow old and die without knowing the end. I hope that you can come back at dusk and win your wife and children. How can you get it if you just smile? Fishing is a suitable place for the husband to go fishing, and it is also a place for the hermit to swim. The fun may be similar to seeking for something. In the end, it is rarely tied to people's hearts, because it is not desirable.

I am only looking for the fish, and there is no other way to catch it. Is that okay?

Extended information: Appreciation of the work: There are several sentences in the article: "Trouble at the door of luck, endure the road of hardship, and when there is no satisfaction in your life, you will grow old and die without knowing any end." This is the author's discussion through fishing, and it is also The author's brilliance.

He has seen through the world, understands gains and losses, and understands that neither gain nor loss will bring satisfaction to people. Because when you lose, you want to get it, and after you get it, you want to get it even more. You have to work hard and endure hardships throughout your life. You will not stop until you die, and you can only live your life dissatisfied.

And there are still too many people in the world who don’t know this truth. The article shows that the author's retirement is due to the fact that he has already seen through the world, and it also reflects the author's wisdom.

This turtle, would it rather die and leave its bones for people to treasure, or would it rather live and wag its tail in the mud?

Shuo Diao

(Qing Dynasty) Wu Minshu

There is nothing to do in Yucun, and he likes to go fishing. Diao Zhi The Tao is not good, but I also know how interesting it is. In the early summer and mid-autumn months, when I went out after eating, I saw the clear blue water in the village. I quickly picked up the fishing line and went to the pond bank with a basket. Choose an empty place with water and grass to feed, fish for it, squat down and look at the float, think about its movement and then pull it, you will catch a big fish. If the float is silent, then slowly pull it, and it will still be silent; that's it. My hands were tired and my feet were tired. I leaned on the pole and looked at it. It was still as before. When the cover was over, it would move. If it moved, it would disappear. I said: "This is a fish that steals food." It’s coming soon. "And when the time passes, the fish moves slightly differently, and the crucian carp is caught by pulling it, which can be about four or five inches long. I said: "The fish has arrived, and the big one can be caught! "Stand up and wait for it, pay attention to get it, and you will catch it once in a while. The rate is as fast as the previous fish, and there is no big one. It is noon, and I am hungry and want to eat, but I can't bear to go back to fishing. When I see the villagers' fields, After they all finished eating, they returned home with the fish in hand. When I returned, my wife asked me if there was any fish. I smiled and went out again after dinner. I went to another pond to find a place to fish. Returning, the fish he caught were larger than those he caught before noon. He must have counted them in a certain place, but he didn't catch many, and perhaps none of them caught. So.

Hee! This can be seen. I am trying to get the official position at the time. Is it different from this? The one who goes forward and squats down and stares; the one who tries several times but does not catch one, is the one who has not caught a fish for a long time; the one who is fortunate enough to be an academic official or a rural examination [2] is the one who catches a small fish; if he advances in The Ministry of Rites [3] and the official Yu Tianguan [4] are the ones who caught the big fish, but we tried to catch them but failed to catch them. I have endured the hardships of the world and been unsatisfied all my life. How can I hope to come back at dusk and make my wife and children smile like this? It is similar to seeking. In the end, it is not tied to the human heart, so I will only seek for the fish, and there is no other way to catch it.

Translation

I live in the countryside and enjoy fishing and swimming. I am not proficient in fishing, but I still enjoy it. During the Mid-Autumn Festival in early summer, after having breakfast, you can see the pond in the village with blue sky, green water and sparkling water. You quickly arrange your fishing rods and lines, take the basket and set off to find aquatic plants by the pond. There are only a few places where you can throw some fish food to attract the fish, then put down the baited fishhook and wait. When the float starts to move, you can quickly lift the rod and you will catch the big fish. For some reason, the float didn't move at all. I slowly pulled the fishing line, but it still didn't move. When my hands and feet were tired, I fixed the fishing rod on the shore. I looked around and found that the float was still motionless. About an hour later, the float started to move. When I lifted the rod, I saw that no fish had taken the bait. I think there must be fish probing for the bait, and soon a fish will take the bait. After waiting for more than an hour, the float moved again, which was different from the previous time. I lifted the rod and caught a crucian carp, four or five inches long. I thought again, since there are fish coming, I can catch big fish soon. I stood up and waited, concentrating my attention, and immediately lifting the fishing rod when there was any movement.

I often suspected that I was not familiar with my fishing skills. I asked experienced people who often fish for advice, and they said that similar situations happened. 9. The ancient text "Fishing Notes"

I was walking along the Heng River, and there were two old men dividing the rocks (sitting on both sides of the rocks respectively.)

While fishing, their shells caught the most fish. And easy to get. Yi actually gained nothing every day.

Then he threw his pole and asked A: "The bait is the same and the water for fishing is the same, so why are the gains and losses different?" A said: "When I went fishing, I knew I was there but I didn't know there was a fish. If the eyes do not blink (blink), the spirit does not change, the fish forgets that it is me, so it is easy to take. If the spirit changes, the fish will disappear, and the fish will disappear. "Yi follows his teachings, and takes several fish in a row.

I sighed and said: "The purpose is great, and it comes true!" Dare to remember. Translation: I once walked alone through a stream and saw two old men sitting on either side of a stone fishing. One of them got a lot of fish and caught them easily.

B has gained nothing in one day. (B) threw down his fishing rod and asked A: "The bait is the same and the fishing stream is the same. Why is there such a big difference?" A said: "When I started to set the hook, I was thinking of myself instead of the fish. My eyes Don’t blink, your expression remains unchanged. The fish has forgotten me (it’s me sitting here), so it’s easy to take the bait. You (all your mind) are thinking of the fish, and your expression (always) changes to a fish (naturally) and you run away. Where else can I find it? What a harvest!" B followed his instructions and caught several fish in a row.

I sighed: "This meaning talks about the purpose of things and becomes a philosophy!" It should be written down. Taste: once; Ye: modal particle at the end of a sentence, expressing a question or rhetorical question, equivalent to "has" or "what" in modern Chinese; therefore: so; meaning: an honorific for a person, mostly referring to a man, equivalent to the general term in modern Chinese "You" or "you". Old Man A's experience is that he is completely focused on fishing, making the fish forget about him and think that he is not doing it. The revelation is that you must devote yourself to doing things, so that you can have the possibility of success~~ It took a long time I don’t do ancient prose anymore, just kidding. 10.

Philosophy

This story tells us that we must be calm and calm in everything we do. Be calm, don't be frivolous, restless and eager for success. You must treat things with a normal heart. The result of forcing can only be nothing. Even if you can't be calm and relaxed, you must at least concentrate. This is a prerequisite for doing things well. At the same time, it also enlightens us that only by mastering scientific laws and paying attention to methods can we achieve results.
