What is the traditional fishing culture of the Kinh people?

Fishing is a traditional industry of the Kinh people. Among the various types of fisheries, the Kinh are mainly engaged in shallow sea trawling and miscellaneous fisheries. Fishing tools include pull nets, plug nets, fishing foils, gill nets, as well as shark nets, southern shrimp nets, stinging nets, horseshoe crab nets, cuttlefish nets, etc., which are used for specialized fishing and hunting objects. As for digging sand worms, raking snails, dredging mud dings, catching crabs and so on, they are simpler small sea work.

Due to the differences in geographic conditions in different places, the types of work engaged in are also different. At the end of the river, fishing is done mainly by pulling nets, at the center of the mountain by fishing foils, and at the head of the river by fishing foils and stuffed nets. The variety of fishing gears and the division of labor have formed the unique fishing culture of the Kyung ethnic group.

Pulled nets come in different sizes. The big net is 3 meters high, 400 meters long, the whole body of the net by 6 pieces of silk netting, mesh is small and dense. Small pulling the net by four fabric net composition, mesh large and sparse, net length of more than 330 meters, 2.3 meters high at both ends, 3.3 meters high in the middle, slightly into the peach leaf shape. Operation, the former need thirty or forty people, the latter to twenty or thirty people. Operating procedures are: first explore the sea, observe the fish, choose the operating location; Second, in the fish found in the place, rowing boats or rafts will slowly let go of fishing nets, by the beach to the sea surface into a half-moon shaped circle; Third, the net operator is divided into two groups, each holding a net outline one head, the joint efforts to the beach shore pulling; Fourth, in the process of pulling and dragging the two groups of people while pulling together until the net is full of fish. In this way, a net pulling operation is over. This kind of net pulling operation is one of the larger group operation of fishery production of the Jing people. It is open to both men and women and is not limited by the season.

Seine, also known as a gate net or congestion net, is divided into two types: sparse and dense. The length and height of the net is comparable to that of the pulling net. However, the net is set on the beach at a fixed location. The operation is divided into three groups, and each group is specifically divided into "No. pile", "inserting piles", "hanging nets" (hanging nets on piles), "picking the sand "(the foot of the net filling) and other processes.
