With the winter fishing in Chagan Lake listed as an intangible cultural heritage in Jilin Province, an endless stream of tourists go to watch it every year, and the annual head fish has also attracted much attention. This year's head fish has sold a sky high price of nearly one million! However, as more and more tourists have been to Chagan Lake to watch winter fishing, there are gradually many voices of suspicion of 'fraud', so what's the matter?
A lake exists forever. I thought it would be lonely all over the world, but it is so prosperous that everyone knows it. At the end of the year, so many people will come here with admiration. The footsteps in all directions, the waves that will not die, the breath of big fish and small fish, and the voice of boiling people wake it up together.
Chagan Lake is one of the freshwater lakes, so winter fishing has a juvenile history. It has enjoyed a high reputation as early as the Liao and Jin Dynasties. Through the history and culture of youth, it is full of mystery. Nowadays, our society has been very developed and uses some modern equipment, but here, winter fishing still continues the old method and the most traditional way of winter fishing, which is also the inheritance of our ancient culture.
Next, the fish bones listened to the division of labor of the head and began to work step by step. First, they broke the ice layer up to one meter thick with a sharp tool called "Bingzi" at the place where the head was inserted with a flag, opened a rectangular hole, and then took it as the starting point to drill a small circular ice hole every eight or nine meters to the left and right, hundreds or even hundreds in a row, These holes eventually form a big circle on the ice.
Winter fishing process in Chagan Lake
In fact, the winter fishing operation in Chagan Lake is an ancient way of fishing and hunting. Long ago, the ancient chagannaoer people lived here by fishing and hunting. Fishermen will choose to drill multiple holes in the thick ice on the lake to lower the net, which can track the movement of these fish through the transparent ice. The mesh of the fishing net here is kept sparsely woven in accordance with the tradition, so as to ensure that the young fish under the age of five years can free the fishing net, so as to ensure the future catch.
After finding the net sign selected on the first day, the fishermen of Chagan Lake will use the iron tool of the arrow to chisel the ice. The shape of this tool is relatively simple and easy to fly. No matter how thick the ice layer is, it will not be long before it can be chiseled through. At this time, the lake water will come out first. When a rectangle three feet long and two feet wide is chiseled at the entrance of the net, the net can be lowered.
Because the net is relatively long, the horse winch should be used to pull the big net every other distance to gradually put the big net in place. Just say that the process of getting off the net takes eight or nine hours. When collecting the net, a tall horse will pull the winch and pull the steel wire rope to rotate. At this time, you can see that the large net four or five meters wide is wrapped with the fish under the ice. The ice surface is slowly exposed from the fish outlet one meter wide and two meters long. The fishermen collect the net again and spread the fish they hit on the ice. People waiting on both sides have pocketed their favorite big fish.
When you go to Chagan Lake for winter fishing, you can take a look at these operations, or go to play some projects, such as personally experiencing the fun of watching fish and snow, buying the freshest natural green fishery products from Chagan Lake in ice mobile fish shopping supermarket, watching and participating in kite, skiing, ice sailing and other ice projects in ice and snow amusement park, and participating in ice and snow half marathon The 30th Miss Asia northeast competition area selection and winter fishing special performance and many other activities.
Winter fishing is divided into three procedures: sacrifice, fishing and release. The scene is very spectacular. From offering sacrifices to the lake, waking up the net, breaking the ice, going down the net, drilling, walking the pole, pulling the net and fish, every link and scene is a charming scenery, not to mention some fun, which is the yearning of urban people for winter tourism. In short, if you have time, it is really worth watching such a performance, because it is also the best way to understand an area.
There are winter fishing at sky high prices here, and there are cheap fresh seafood over there. Thailand's seafood and many inland cities are very cheap. Many foreign tourists come to Thailand for a rich and cheap seafood meal. The cheapness can be described by the price of cabbage. The main reason is that Thailand's offshore saves a lot of costs on the basis of non export, which has a very high profit margin, So visitors here can eat fresh and cheap seafood.
