The Fisherman on the River is a five-character quatrain by the Song Dynasty poet Fan Zhongyan.

The Fisherman on the River" Song Fan Zhongyan.

People come and go on the river, but love the beauty of sea bass.

Jun looks at a leaf boat, haunted by the turmoil.

Translation: Pedestrians come and go on the riverbank, and they only like the deliciousness of sea bass.

Please look at the small fishing boat that night, sometimes hidden and now in the surging waves.

People come and go on the river, but love the beauty of sea bass.

Jun looks at a leaf boat, haunted by the turmoil.

The first sentence writes that people come and go on the riverbank, which is very lively. The second sentence describes the mentality of the people on the shore, revealing the reason for the "exchange". The line of sight through the last two sentences indicates the fishing boat that flickers in the wind and waves, and pays attention to the scene of fishing.

Although the sea bass is delicious, the difficulty of catching it expresses the poet's sympathy for the suffering of the fishermen, and deeply exhorts the shore people who "love the beauty of the sea bass". The strong contrast between the two realms of "on the river" and "storm", the two modalities of "people coming and going" and "a leaf boat", and the two dynamics of "coming and going" and "haunting" show the purpose of the whole poem. Fan Zhongyan was a politician who advocated reform, and served as the governor of the Northern Song Dynasty and presided over the reform of the law.

He was able to care for the suffering of ordinary people living in the lower strata of society, and wrote some poems sympathetic to the working people, the first of which disturbed but few have survived.

The water town in the south of the Yangtze River, the river road is vertical and horizontal, and it is extremely rich in fish and shrimp. Among them, Jiangsu Songjiang four-gilll perch is the most famous. Anyone who travels to and from the Songjiang River has no one who doesn't like this special product and doesn't want to taste this delicacy.

Fan Zhongyan is a native of Wu County, Jiangsu, and grew up on the edge of the Songjiang River. This situation is well understood. But instead of focusing on the taste and admiration of the delicacy of the sea bass, he noticed something more noteworthy.

He was aware of the pain and hardship of the fishermen hidden behind this specialty, and expressed deep sympathy.

Jun looks at a leaf boat, haunted by the turmoil.

Look at the hard fishermen, who sail their boats and cast their nets on the rivers. The wind and waves on the river are high, and the boats appear and disappear in the wind and waves, which really makes people frightened for them.

Fishermen on the river. (Song)Fan Zhongyan translates as follows:

Everyone loves delicious sea bass, but they don't know that fishermen are born and die in the wind and waves on the river in order to catch sea bass. The poet writes about the hardships and hardships of the fishermen, hoping to arouse people's sympathy for the working people and their understanding of the people's suffering. The words of the whole poem are concise and unpretentious, but the words are close and far, the words are shallow and profound, and they are full of philosophy.

It also shows the poet's excellent quality of paying attention to the people's livelihood and caring for Baituanchun's surname, reflecting his idea of "worrying about the worries of the world first, and enjoying the joy of the world after the world".

The whole poem depicts the people who come and go on the river to drink and have fun, and reflects the poet's sympathy for the working people by reflecting the hardships of the fishermen's labor. The first two sentences of the poem, "People come and go on the river, but love the beauty of sea bass" depicts the people coming and going on the river bank, bustling and collapsed, but people do not know that it is not easy to catch sea bass, and they cannot understand the hardships of fishermen, and the author uses this to show the unfairness of the world.

The last two sentences "You look at a leaf boat, haunt the forest cracked in the storm" express the poet's sympathy for the fishermen's suffering, and express the poet's exhortation to the shore people who "love the beauty of sea bass".

This poem belongs to the five-character quatrain, and the content is relatively simple and easy to understand. Translated into modern Chinese, there are so many people coming and going on the river, and they only like the delicious taste of sea bass. Look at that little fishing boat, rising and falling in the wind and waves on the river.

People come and go on the river, but love the beauty of sea bass. The river bank is bustling with people, but the purpose of their coming, what they are talking about, is all about sea bass, they come early to take advantage of the excitement, for the "first come, first served" delicious sea bass, they either go happy or disappointed, all because they get or do not get the sea bass. It can be said that the people on the riverbank only have sea bass in their eyes, mouths, and hearts, and the author only uses the word "but" here, but it makes the reader feel that the early rise is ruthless (to the fisherman) in the affection (to the sea bass).

Jun looks at a leaf boat, haunted by the turmoil. The river bank is very lively, but on the river is a completely different scene: only a flat boat is jolting and swaying in the waves. From this, we can say that the fishermen in the storm on the river are lonely and cold.

Each of these four poems depicts a picture: on the bank of the river and on the surface of the river. The people on the banks of the river enjoy the delicious food, and the fishermen on the river are always at risk. Comparing the two, the difference between people is obvious.

Yiye Zhou, although it is a metaphor, but putting a leaf light boat in the storm, coupled with the word "haunted", this picture really makes people feel frightened. The word "haunting" can be described as the finishing touch, touching the soul of people.

The danger of the fisherman's situation is not felt by the people on the riverbank, but if there is a feeling, the situation they see the fisherman is not dangerous, but curious and interesting.

The people who "come and go" on the river bank and the "fishermen" on the river are both aiming for "sea bass", but one is for a feast, and the other is for livelihood, so their eyes are completely different.

Jun looks at a leaf boat. A gentleman is the author's reminder and emphasis, and the author cares about and worries about it.

"Jun" should have two meanings here. The first is people who care about "fishermen" like the author, people who care about the suffering of the working people, they care about "fishermen" in their hearts, they always sweat and hold a heart for fishermen, and they are always thinking about fishermen. These people should be honored as "Jun".

Another meaning of Jun is those "pseudo-kings", those who "love the beauty of sea bass", they don't care about the situation of the fisherman, and they can't think about the life or death of the fisherman, they only think about whether the fisherman can catch the sea bass, whether they can get the sea bass, how many sea bass they want, they only have sea bass. The author calls them "gentlemen" to remind and persuade them not only to covet delicious food, but also to "perceive" the people's feelings.

For this poem, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is "all scenery is a love language".
