1. It has a long history: the cultural accumulation and folk wisdom in traditional fishing methods
Tracing back to the beginning of Chinese civilization, the act of fishing has long been no longer just a way of sustaining life, but has become an important carrier of the spirit of traditional culture. The traditional fishing method is known among the people as "bottom sinking fishing method" or "stupid fishing". Its core is the adjustment method in which the lead pendant contacts the bottom of the water and the float is exposed. This method looks simple and plain on the surface, but in fact it contains the basis of the ancient philosophical thought of the unity of nature and man, that is, following the underwater topography without forcibly changing the natural state. In the long years of historical and cultural accumulation, traditional fishing has built a bait system with insect bait, wheat and grass as the main content. This is closely connected with the seasonal wisdom contained in farming civilization. Just like the so-called "spring insects, summer noodles and autumn corn", it shows the ancient ancestors' precise grasp of the phenological laws of the time. Looking at it from the perspective of etiquette system, traditional fishing is simple and easy to do, and it is also suitable for all ages. This is exactly in line with the inheritance of the humanistic spirit of old and young in traditional society to entertain together and live in harmony with neighbors. With just a bamboo pole, a line and a hook, it can create a harmonious and harmonious scene in the countryside.
2. Subtlety and Mystery: The cultural blend and evolution of the times behind Taiwanese fishing techniques
Compared with the simplicity and heaviness of traditional fishing, Taiwan fishing, also known as the hanging fishing method, shows the inclusiveness of Chinese culture that embraces all rivers. This is a fishing method originating from the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River. It has been cultivated and transformed by the orthodoxy of the Chinese cultural context, and has formed a unique system in which the lead pendant is in a suspended state, the double hooks touch the bottom, and the float can sensitively reflect fish news. Its drifting technique pays great attention to the precise balance of "adjusting four and catching two", which is in line with the philosophy contained in the Confucian golden mean, that is, it is neither too hard nor too soft, and what it pursues is the harmonious resonance between heaven and man. Sophisticated and systematic Taiwan fishing equipment is actually the crystallization of traditional craftsmanship and modern manufacturing wisdom. The carbon fishing rod is very light and the float material is exquisite. These all reflect the spirit of ingenuity passed down from generation to generation. In terms of the core of folk culture, the concept of atomized fish luring in Taiwanese fishing has similarities with the smudged artistic conception of ink painting. They are both expressions of Eastern wisdom that uses softness to overcome hardness and virtuality to control reality.
3. Keeping integrity and innovating: cultural consciousness and self-confidence in the two fishing systems
Traditional fishing and Taiwanese fishing each have their own unique styles, just like the double-changing melody of "simple" and "qiao" in traditional Chinese culture. The traditional fishing method is outstanding because of its profound sense of cultural significance. The fishing rod is long and the hook is blunt, but the posture is calm and majestic, and it fully demonstrates calmness in places with abundant and dense aquatic plants. However, Taiwanese fishing relies on sensitivity and precision to gain advantages. The fishing line is thin and the float is sensitive, and the response is quick and agile. It shows sharpness in deep pools with bright water and calm water. Observed from the perspective of the etiquette system, traditional fishing focuses on the overall atmosphere and artistic conception of communication and dialogue with nature, while Taiwan fishing emphasizes the precise control of skills to a certain extent, which is close to the Tao. There is no difference in level between the two, only the difference in realm. Nowadays, those who like fishing, some prefer the ancient and simple fun contained in traditional fishing, while others prefer the exquisite and dexterous convenience of Taiwanese fishing. In essence, they are all different interpretations and inheritance of the orthodox Chinese culture. When we hold the fishing rod and quietly observe the ups and downs of the float, we are actually continuing the inheritance of the humanistic spirit that has lasted for thousands of years. The respect and fear for nature, the love and love for life, and the exploration and pursuit of skills have long been integrated into the cultural genes of the Chinese nation.
4. Eclecticism: The overall view of Chinese culture reflected by the way of fishing
Whether the traditional fishing method sinks to the bottom and waits, or the hanging of this fishing machine is more sensitive, in essence, it is a concrete manifestation of Chinese philosophy based on fishing activities. Traditional fishing teaches us the wisdom of "great skill is like clumsiness". Tai Diao inspires us with the exploratory spirit of “studying things to gain knowledge”. In today's era where cultural self-confidence is becoming more and more evident, more and more fishing enthusiasts are no longer limited to the differences between sects, but are embracing everything with an open and tolerant attitude. This exactly reflects the supreme realm of "harmony without difference" in Chinese culture. Viewed from the perspective of a classic art form, fishing has long penetrated into the creative realm of poetry, calligraphy, painting and calligraphy, and has become an important image that expresses the feelings of literati. Jiang Taigong fished on the Weishui River to wait for the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, and Yan Ziling fished alone on the Fuchun River to create a story of fishing alone for a long time. These historical allusions have given fishing a heavy cultural heritage. Just today, we are talking about the differences in fishing methods. In fact, we are sorting out the inner context of the diversity and unity of Chinese culture. Different forms carry the same cultural genes, and the diverse expressions embody the common national spirit. This is the secret of Chinese civilization that has become more and more brilliant after thousands of years.
