<> more and more fish were caught in Chagan Lake, but they were all swept away by tourists, but the locals said they were fooled.

Winter fishing in Chagan Lake has a history of hundreds of years, and has recently become a very well-known activity at home and abroad, but what is surprising is that over the years, more and more fish have been caught in winter, and there is basically no less than 100,000 kilograms, how did the local people do it, mentioning this, the locals basically know that this is actually a "fool".

In order to meet the needs of so many tourists, and in order to sell more fish, before the winter fishing in Chagan Lake, some people poured a large number of fish into it, and when the festival began, there were naturally more and more fish, as well as the annual head fish, and the auction ** was also higher than a year, and the sky-high price of 2.96 million yuan was auctioned in 2019.

But in fact, this is just a gimmick, in fact, the traditional ritual is still more worthwhile, but the purchase of these products, like many scenic spots, is not worthy of the name, for the winter fishing of Chagan Lake, what do you think? Welcome to leave a message below to discuss.

That's because it's just a gimmick. It's just a traditional ritual. How can the fish catch more and more?

Winter fishing in Chagan Lake, that is, winter ice and snow fishing (or fishing and hunting) in Chagan Lake, is a traditional fishery production method (custom) in Qianguoerlus Mongolian Autonomous County, Songyuan City, Jilin Province. Although the years have changed, the magic, mystery and sacredness of winter fishing in Chagan Lake are still the same.

In the Chagan Lake area, from mid-December to mid-January of the following year is the winter fishing time of Chagan Lake, and the spectacular winter fishing scene will attract many domestic and foreign tourists to come, and the warm winter time will be delayed.

Historically, winter fishing in Chagan Lake is a traditional custom of the Mongolian people, which has been prevalent in the Liaojin period, when it was called "hook fish", which is a hunting behavior that can only be owned by the emperor's relatives. Now it has become one of the eight scenic spots in Jilin, and it is an indispensable viewing activity for tourists to Northeast China in winter. There are more than 60 species of fish in the lake, including fathead fish.

Silver carp. Fish, gayazi.

Fish and large white fish are the most famous.

It is not that the fish is valuable, such an act represents a cultural inheritance, and the value of the fish is to reflect a certain commercial value.

The "Winter Fishing Festival" is held in December every year, which is actually a grand and large-scale celebration. And the fact that a head fish can be sold for a sky-high price is the embodiment of commercial value. Generally speaking, the cultural inheritance and commercial value are all embodied in the head fish.

First of all: the analysis of historical inheritance.

It is said that the winter fishing activities in Chagan Lake have a history of more than 1,000 years, the fish of Chagan Lake is a traditional fishery production method in the local area, from the Liaojin Dynasty, many emperors have the custom of going to Chagan Lake to fish, but will also hold a head fish feast, so this custom has been passed down to the present after thousands of years. In this regard, Chagan Lake is a traditional fishing method with a long history, so it attracts everyone's attention.

Secondly: analysis of cultural inheritance.

Every year in December, a grand celebration is held at Chagan Lake, called the "Chagan Lake Ice and Snow Fishing and Hunting Cultural Festival", which expresses the local people's yearning and wishes for a better life through ceremonies such as prayers and fire collection, as well as gratitude for natural products. Because of the cultural attraction, there are many tourists and business organizations who come to participate.

Finally: the value of the fish is the commercial value after the auction.

The auctioned head fish is basically purchased by some enterprises, and the purpose of the enterprise to buy the head fish is mainly to increase popularity, similar to advertising for itself, the head fish auction is not just a fish, but in addition to the beginning of the fish, will also get the same value of the fish, such as 3 million auction of the head fish, then the bidder will get 3 million yuan of fish, and such behavior is referred to as the head fish 3 million yuan, which may be many people will have an error in understanding, thinking that it is a fish 3 million.

I don't think this is an ordinary fish, and this fish is very nutritious, and it is relatively rare, after all, it is rare and expensive, so it is particularly valuable.

The reason why this ordinary fish is so valuable is because there are a large number of people behind the hype, and the fish symbolizes a good omen in our country, so people buy it.

Because this fish is the head fish caught in winter, it has a very auspicious meaning and is also a gift from God, so an ordinary fish will be so valuable.

Because the head fish represents a good omen. This is a local saying that whoever can get the first fish will have good luck.

Because the headfish is a symbol of good luck. For the locals, if they are lucky enough to get a head fish, it means that they have good luck. It is a symbol of history and culture.

The main reason is that this fish is very meaningful and of different importance to everyone, which is why it is worth so much money.

The head fish of Chagan Lake was auctioned for more than 3 million yuan, in fact, these are all speculation, just to increase the atmosphere and publicity of the Chagan Lake Fishing Festival, and buy the fame of their fish company.

Chagan Lake is a freshwater lake located in the former Guoerlus Mongolian Autonomous County in the northwest of Jilin Province, China, and is the largest natural freshwater lake in Jilin Province. "Chagan Lake" is a transliteration of the Mongolian language, which means white and holy lake. Chagan Lake is rich in natural resources, especially the fishery resources are very developed, since the Jin Dynasty, it has been a fishing and hunting place, and winter fishing activities are carried out every winter, and this tradition has continued to modern times.

Nowadays, Chagan Lake is listed as a national nature reserve, and the winter fishing of Chagan Lake has also become a local tangible cultural heritage. With the development of the tourism industry, Chagan Lake winter fishing has also become a popular tourist destination, every year at the beginning of winter fishing, will attract a lot of tourists to come, but some tourists are more confused about a phenomenon, Chagan Lake winter fishing will be carried out every year, every year there are a large number of fish ** fished out, but the fish have not become less, but the fish caught every year are so big.

In fact, local fishermen stock new fry every year after the winter season, and there are strict regulations on the type and number of fry that can be stocked each year. But in fact, there are many local fishermen who "raid" some adult fish before the winter harvest begins. This is called "bathing fish" by the locals, and it is no wonder that the local harvest is abundant every year.

In fact, there are many similar cases of bringing back in China, such as Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs, Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs are the most famous hairy crab brands in China, but the production of real Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs is very limited, and it cannot meet the needs of the people of the whole country. Driven by economic interests, many people have started to take advantage of the fact that in order to attract more tourists, the adult fish are put into the lake before the winter harvest begins, thus giving the impression that there is a good harvest every year.

In 2006, during the Chagan Lake Ice and Snow Fishing and Hunting Cultural Raid Tourism Festival, Chagan Lake Bai used a single net for winter fishing

The output of 10 zhi450,000 kilograms was entered into the Guinness World Records, and in 2008, it set a new record with a single net output of 16.88 million kilograms.

For thousands of years, the Mongolian people have lived a nomadic life of "migrating after water and grass", because the water is abundant to be beautiful, and then the cattle and sheep are fat and strong, and then the food and clothing are worry-free, and then the country is peaceful and peaceful. Therefore, water is the source of goodness and a sacred object. The way of life determines that the people on the grassland have a unique feeling for water, and there are various beautiful legends around the Chagan Lake, which is rich in water and grass.

It is said that the winter fishing of Chagan Lake has been famous in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and people even call the herdsmen here "Chagan Naoer fishermen". The history of striking 420,000 catties of fish in one net has endowed her with enough spirituality and magic.

The spectacle of fishing. Under the command of the fisherman, more than 100 fishermen came to the ice, the groom drove four horses to pull the winch, the 2,000-meter-long net jumped under the ice, and the fat "fat head", the long "grass roots", and the silver shining bright carp jumped onto the ice with the net.

For a time, on the huge lake, snowflakes were falling, fresh fish were jumping, and fish were piled up like mountains.

It is understood that this fishing and hunting culture originated in prehistory and flourished in Liaojin. In addition, because winter fishing is easy to preserve and transport, this ancient winter fishing method has continued to this day and has remained unchanged for thousands of years.

In 2006, during the Chagan Lake Ice and Snow Fishing and Hunting Cultural Tourism Festival, Chagan Lake was listed in the Guinness Book of World Records for winter fishing with a single net output of 10.45 million kilograms, and in 2008, it set a new record with a single net output of 16.88 million kilograms.

During the Chagan Lake Winter Fishing Festival, so many big guys were pulled out in one net, it was really enjoyable to watch.

Because the fish are growing up in winter, there is ice to walk on the ice and it is easy to get the net down.

Chagan Lake is famous for winter fishing, and the fathead fish in Chagan Lake is even more famous. Chagan Lake has a vast water surface and vast smoke waves, and is rich in 38 kinds of fish such as bighead carp, carp, grass and crucian carp.

Among them, the bighead carp (commonly known as "fathead fish") in Chagan Lake is the most famous.
