How to raise goldfish in the ancient way

Ancient ways to raise goldfish need to prepare a large water tank, the tank should usually be placed in a sunny and shaded place, good air circulation is very helpful to improve the dissolved oxygen in the water. Some aquatic plants can be planted in the tank to photosynthesize and release a certain amount of oxygen, while also inhibiting the outbreak of algae. Feeding usually chooses live food, such as water fleas and red worms, they are not easy to spoil the water and also help to develop color.

I've often heard that the ancient Chinese method of raising goldfish, traditionally emphasize the pot, and this is the authentic, so some places to goldfish also called pot fish. I read the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Joker compiled "Cinnabar Fish Spectrum", I remember the text reads "Cinnabar fish, only in Wuzhong ...... This is most suitable for pot storage, extremely connoisseur precious." "Where the storage of cinnabar fish tanks to Magnetism burned white for the first, Hangzhou Yixing burned can also be used, the end is not good color. Yu common good people at home with an ancient copper tank storage fish several heads, its large can accommodate two stone, the system is very simple, green four wrapped. Ancient people do not know what to use, now take to storage cinnabar fish also seems to get." Also read the Qing Dynasty Jutaku Shannon wrote "goldfish atlas" "tank animal" chapter, the text reads: "Pool animal fish, its class is easy to raise, but the fish near the soil is not bright red color, so the tank animal for the wonderful. Tank to the ancient sand tank for the top, followed by magnetic tank. It is better to bury the bottom of the tank in the soil with a big mouth and a pointed bottom. A tank can only animal five or six tail, the fish less food, can always follow, easy to big and fat. Where the new tank is not water, rubbing with taro, then after injection of water will be moss and water live, and the nature of not dry, not to damage the fish's scales and fins. If you are using an old tank, it is better to remove the moss from time to time, because more moss will reduce the color of the fish. In early spring, the tank should be facing the sun; in summer, it should be half-shade and half-sun; after the fall, it should be placed anywhere; in winter, the tank should be buried diagonally in a sunny place, and at night, it should be covered with grass to keep the mouth of the tank out of the cold. If there is one or two fingers of thin ice from time to time, then the fish will not suffer from any disease over the years. Fish rely on water to live, where the tank animal, summer, fall and summer heat must be every other day a change of water, then the fish are not depressed steam, and easy to big. If the sky wants to rain, the bottom of the tank water hot and dirty gas, the fish must float out of the water to change the gas emergency, it is appropriate to change the water; or fish turn white and water flooding, the water is more appropriate to change frequently, late change is fish injury." Ji Cheng's "garden metallurgy" book in the "goldfish bowl" section, described as "such as the method of the rock pool, with a brown tank, or two, side by side for the bottom. Or buried, half-buried, will be around the rocks on their own, still with putty sip solid tank mouth. Such as the method of fish, winning the tank in a small mountain."

It seems that the Chinese ancient method of raising goldfish to pay attention to pots and said, this is not false.

The traditional Chinese fish bowl is born for goldfish. Fishbowl is China's ancient goldfish containers, fishbowl with its own quality, filled with the beauty of goldfish, and beautiful fish and make the fishbowl full of spirit. Fish bowl and goldfish, beautiful fish and beautiful vessels, complement each other. The ancient Chinese people appreciated the beauty of the goldfish while pursuing the perfect unity of the beautiful fish and the beautiful vessel. When the soft goldfish carrying the Chinese people's creation, aesthetics and civilization, dancing in the fish bowl, the fish bowl from a simple fish container to the quiet evolution of works of art. And when we appreciate the beauty of the beautiful fish in this beautiful vessel, already feel not only in the appreciation of fish, but in the taste of the life of the clear supply.

Chinese ancient people do fish bowl material, using stone, pottery, sand, porcelain, and wood, etc., the production design is not a strange and clever structure, each with the best. Stone fish bowl, is the use of natural stone carved from, according to the talent of the craftsmen, carved out all kinds of peaceful patterns, simple and natural, the Qing Dynasty Royal Garden often embellished with stone pots several sets of gorgeous and rustic exception, the soft fish dance in the middle of it, just and soft, natural. In addition, there are carved with jade fish pots, according to historical records, Song Huizong had a study with white jade stone cut into fish pots, red goldfish, nowadays there are antique market with jade, carved into the shape of goldfish pots, the goldfish in this to hide the texture of the Golden House, but exaggerated jade carving goldfish modeling, shallow fish pots, for goldfish, after all, is not very suitable. Pottery fish pots commonly known as tile pots, rounded. Used to be one of the main containers for fish in old Beijing, because the outer wall of the basin is burnt with a raised tiger's head pattern, so it is also known as "tiger's head basin". Because of the seepage or counter-watering, it is more suitable for courtyard use, and the specifications of ceramic pots are called "sets". Sand fish pots with large mouths and small bottoms used to be common fish containers in eastern and southern China, and the specification of sand pots is called "No.". Stone, ceramic, sandy fish pots have **** the same characteristics is a rough inner wall, the rough inner wall becomes a large bacterial bed, for this reason, in the absence of a filter to assist the case, can play a role in water purification, than the smooth inner wall of the porcelain pot is easier to raise water, and when the rough inner wall is full of smooth green moss, green moss reflecting the red fish, whether it be from the ornamental or from the maintenance of the goldfish, is the ideal situation. And porcelain fish pots more delicate texture than other materials, the appearance of the fish pot is also more gorgeous, exquisite, according to the ceramic process can be made out of many styles of fish pots, or blue and white, or pastel, or tea powder, beautifully painted, well-crafted. Is doubly popular fish containers and home decorative objects. Porcelain basin specifications called "pieces". Wooden fish pots commonly known as wood sea, wooden pots are generally round or oval, made of cedar wood, according to the need to make the right size, wood sea is mainly breeding goldfish containers, compared to the above material fish pots, has a large body and light weight, large amount of water, not easy to break the advantages of the Beijing-Tianjin area is more common.
