What is traditional fishing?

Fishing has been going on for five or six thousand years in China. It advances with the progress of the times, with the improvement of productivity and social life, and it is also constantly integrated with new cultural connotations and technological innovations with international exchanges. For example, from the bone hooks in the fishing and hunting era to bronze hooks, iron hooks and steel hooks, and then upgraded to today's 8H high carbon steel hooks, tungsten steel hooks and titanium alloy hooks; Fishing line has also developed from bark fiber, pimp, hemp thread, cotton thread and silk thread to nylon thread, glass glue thread, fluorocarbon thread, wiring, strong horse thread and so on. In terms of fishing methods and techniques, our fishing predecessors have created dozens or even hundreds of popular, unique or national and local traditional fishing methods for us and our descendants, which has become the richest and most powerful "intellectual property" foundation of modern fishing technology in China and a treasure house of science and technology.

Traditional fishing methods

"Traditional fishing" is an "old-fashioned" fishing method, which has different names compared with "hanging fishing". In fact, among the traditional fishing methods that have been circulating for thousands of years, the most widely used and common fishing methods are "morning hook fishing", "horizontal hook fishing", "vertical hook fishing", "open hook fishing" (also known as "row hook fishing"), "long line hook fishing" and "stretch hook fishing". It is not only widely used for freshwater fishing, but also for marine fishing; For example, China has several ocean-going fleets that go to Palau in the South Pacific to hunt large and precious tuna, and the fishing technology used is modern "longline fishing". "Longline fishing" is also used to catch benthic groupers.

Why does the seemingly "backward" "traditional fishing" have such a strong historical vitality? With the progress of the times, the improvement of material culture and scientific and technological level, all kinds of traditional fishing tackle are constantly innovating.
