"Keeping integrity and innovation": the philosophical wisdom and humanistic spirit in traditional Chinese fishing channels
The traditional Chinese fishing skill is definitely not a simple fishing skill. It is deeply rooted in the philosophical system of Chinese farming civilization and the result of the wisdom of life contained in it.
There is a sharp contrast between the traditional fishing method that advocates "defense" and the Taiwanese fishing method that fully displays "offensive". This word "defend" is actually a concrete manifestation of the philosophical thought of "stopping with stillness" in Chinese culture, and is also a concrete manifestation of the philosophical thought of "responding to all changes with the same."
The "keeping" mentioned here is not a situation of passive waiting and stubbornness, but a dialectical practice with different manifestations. It is based on a deep grasp of the laws of the movement of heaven and earth, the ebb and flow of yin and yang, and many situations of "keeping in change, keeping in movement, keeping in moving, and keeping in teasing". These fully embody the core spirit of "keeping integrity and innovation" in traditional Chinese culture.
"Adapting to the Times": Etiquette System and Natural Ethics in Traditional Fishing Channels
What the traditional fishing method emphasizes is "defending amid change", which is a very vivid embodiment of the idea of "harmony between man and nature" in the Chinese ritual and music civilization, and also the embodiment of the idea of "adapting measures to the times".
As recorded in the "Book of Rites·Yue Ling", ancient people had clear behavioral norms and taboos regarding the phenology of the four seasons as well as fish, insects, and vegetation. Traditional fishermen relied on different weather and different fish conditions to determine target fish and fishing methods. This is exactly a continuation of the ancient natural ethics.
Fishermen do not adhere to the concept of "conquering the world with one pole", but actively seek changes and respond flexibly according to the actual conditions of different regions. This fully demonstrates the ecological wisdom possessed by the Chinese ancestors that "Tao follows nature" and "all things thrive together without harming each other".
This kind of awe for nature, and the corresponding actions of adaptation, together constitute the unique core of the etiquette system in the traditional Chinese fishing culture. It is a concrete practical manifestation of the humanistic spirit of "benevolence to the people and love for things" and the concrete practical embodiment of the humanistic spirit of "common people and things."
"Movement and Stillness": The philosophical foundation and artistic charm of traditional fishing techniques
"Movement while guarding" is demonstrated, which vividly presents the dialectical thinking of "motion and stillness coexist" in Chinese philosophy. "Walking while guarding" is also embodied, which fully demonstrates the dialectical thinking of "yin and yang complementing each other" in Chinese philosophy.
When the semi-water trolling method is used to catch bream and croakers in the water layer of the middle water and upper water, this is "seeking movement in silence"; when the drift fishing technique is used in the flowing water of the Yangtze River, this is "quietness in movement".
This technique is the same as the aesthetic pursuit of "thinking of white as black" in traditional Chinese art, and the aesthetic pursuit of "coexistence of virtuality and reality" is also the same.
Compared with Taiwan fishing, the biggest advantage of traditional fishing gear is that in winter, many nests are built and the fish are chosen according to the observation of fish conditions, which is to "take the middle and guard". This fully demonstrates the survival wisdom of "flexibility" and "sizing up the situation" in Chinese culture.
The characteristics of lightness, flexibility and strong adaptability are the result of the wisdom of "appropriately adopting appropriate methods according to different regions" and "appropriately choosing the right time according to different seasons" shaped by the Chinese ancestors during their long-term farming practice. It is a typical example of the spirit of "focusing on reality and paying attention to practical rationality" in the Chinese context.
"Subtle and Vast": Craftsmanship and cultural accumulation in traditional fishing tackle
There are various kinds of traditional fishing tackle, ranging from something as simple as a needle and a thread, to something as complex as lifting a fish across a river. This is truly the craftsman spirit of "striving for knowledge" and "striving for excellence" reflected in the traditional Chinese handicraft industry.
Today, the manufacturing of modern fishing tackle represented by the "Zhanlong Qilin Zun" fishing rod is precisely the contemporary inheritance of this craftsmanship spirit.
It has a "reinforced alloy rod tip" process and a "high carbon counter-wire cross-rolling" process. What it pursues is the perfect unity of "lightweight rod body" and "strength and toughness", which exactly fits the aesthetic ideal of "soft on the outside and hard on the inside" and "combination of hard and soft" in Chinese culture.
Henan Countercurrent Network Technology Co., Ltd. has gathered partners who work together to build a series of base facilities in the fields of fishing chair casting and manufacturing, buoy manufacturing and production, and sub-line hook manufacturing and processing. This is not only a construction of a modern industrial system, but also a model of division of labor, cooperation, and teaching and inheritance between masters and apprentices in traditional handicrafts. It has carried out creative transformation and innovative expansion and development.
Many honors have been won by the company, such as "Entrepreneurship Support Demonstration Enterprise" and "Returning Hometown Entrepreneurship Demonstration Project", which is the high recognition given by contemporary society to the spirit of craftsmanship. At the same time, it interprets cultural heritage and demonstrates the vigorous vitality and cultural confidence of Chinese culture in the new era.
"Return to Nature": Folk Culture and Nature Observation in Traditional Bait
The bait used in traditional fishing is mainly divided into two categories: plant bait and animal bait. It is characterized by simplicity and simplicity. This is very different from the pink bait concept of Taiwan fishing, which has the characteristics of "combination of three-dimensional atomization and luring and fishing".
This "returning to nature" characteristic has a deep spiritual connection with the food customs of "harmony of five flavors" and "the same source of medicine and food" in traditional Chinese culture.
Plant bait corresponds to the survival basis of agricultural civilization of "spring plowing and autumn harvest" and "grains for sustenance", while animal bait reflects the resource concept of "take it when it is available and use it wisely" in the era of nomadic fishing and hunting.
This simple use of natural products is presented by the Chinese ancestors relying on the cognitive method of "taking things from near and taking things from far away". This is also a vivid interpretation of the value orientation of Chinese folk culture based on "simple nature" and "harmony between nature and man".
"Inclusive": geographical wisdom and humanistic spirit in the selection of traditional fishing spots
Traditional fishing has a wider range of adaptability to fishing grounds than Taiwan fishing. No matter whether the environment is complex or harsh, it can be calmly dealt with with the help of auxiliary tools or adjusting the line group.
In this case, having the nature of "tolerance and inclusiveness" and the characteristics of "tolerance is great" are precisely a clear and distinctive display of the core spirit of Chinese culture.
The Chinese civilization has lasted for five thousand years without interruption. The reason is that it has strong tolerance and acceptance and the ability to adapt to changes. It can "do as the locals do" and achieve "harmony without difference". It can take root, grow and bloom in various complex environments.
Traditional fishermen conquer vast waters with "flat ground and clean and open water". This reflects the pioneering spirit of the Chinese nation. This pioneering spirit is "the blue road leads to the mountains and forests". At the same time, this is also a fishing version of the ideal realm of "one family in the world" and "universal world".
This state is the state of "no entry without contentment". It is a powerful proof of the orthodoxy of the Chinese cultural context. It is a powerful proof of the strong vitality of the Chinese cultural context. It is also the historical basis for our firm cultural self-confidence today. It is also the practical support for our firm cultural self-confidence today.
