Ancient Poem About Children Fishing

Children fishing

Tang Dynasty Hu Lingneng

The child's head is puffed up and he learns to fish, sitting on the side of the berry moss and grass reflecting his body.

Passers-by beckoned, fearing that the fish would not respond.

2. Translation

A child with disheveled hair and a young face was learning to fish by the river, sitting sideways in the grass, which concealed his figure.

The passerby wanted to ask for directions, and the little child waved to the passerby, afraid of startling the fish, not daring to respond to the passerby.
