Talk about the mood of fishing

Every time I go fishing in the wild, I always sit quietly and watch, leaving a vivid silhouette in the sunset. I have been looking at a buoy on a bumpy ripple from beginning to end, expecting the joy of harvest. Sometimes the wind blows gently, and occasionally a few birds fly over the sparkling water, and my eyes will follow them until they disappear without a trace. In the quiet river, the dark green lotus is rhythmical with ripples between the broad-minded world; The trees on the shore are swaying, and the leaves are shining silver and swaying gently in the breeze. Breathing in nature is a temptation of life, a touch of life ... while fishing is lifting and putting down, which makes people busy. Fishing is a kind of detachment, a mood, a leisure and a feeling of release.

Fishing can also exercise people's will, wait with peace of mind and persist for a long time. Because fish are cunning, they will try several times. At this time, just hold your horses. Otherwise, as soon as you lift the pole and disturb it, it will never be easily fooled again. Sometimes, inadvertently, I see the temptation of fish floating in the water. My eyes suddenly penetrated the misty water color and saw greedy and naughty fish ... At this time, desire and greed came to my mind instantly. When Upright is calm, my thoughts will drift slowly with the flowing water again. As long as I want to fish, my thoughts will drift until Xixia is full of sky, drunk over the sky, drunk over the distant mountains and drunk over the calm water. ...

I once heard a legend that Emperor Qianlong played a joke on Ji Xiaolan and asked him to write a quatrain with ten "ones" on the topic of a fisherman in the distance. Ji Xiaolan thought for a moment and said, "A pole, an oar, a fishing boat, a fisherman and a hook. When you clap your hands, you shout and laugh, and one person monopolizes a river. " After hearing these quatrains, Gan Long praised them. Nowadays, it is the biggest gain for anglers to learn from the calmness of the ancients and treat life with an open mind.

I learned persistence and contentment from fishing.
