Are there many traditional fishermen?

People in ancient times didn't want to go fishing, not because they were lazy, but because conditions didn't allow them.

First of all, ancient fishing vehicles didn't work.

In ancient times, there were no such big ships. Some just wrote small rafts, which will become very unstable when encountering rapids. It may be ok to catch those small fish on the shallow beach by this small raft, but it is impossible to catch them in the sea or other areas where fish live. However, the number of fish in shallow waters is limited, so it is ok to catch one or two occasionally to satisfy hunger, and it is impossible to satisfy hunger by this kind of fishing. The number of those fish simply can't meet people's demand for food.

Second, the ancient fishing tools were not good.

In ancient times, only forks were used for fishing, so the probability of harpoon fish being able to fork is very small. So it is possible to go out all day without catching a fish. It's different now. Now people's wisdom is getting higher and higher. When people fish, they can use fishing rods, fishing nets and even throw fishing nets in the sea, and then collect them in a few days. But it was put in ancient times. Where did the fishing net come from? At that time, they had not invented fishing nets, and fishing was not easy. Naturally, there was no way to solve the hunger problem by fishing.

Third, most ancient people farmed and had no intention of fishing.

Most ancient people lived by farming. They cultivated land, and the land they planted not only met the family's food rations, but also turned it over to the court as a tax. If a family doesn't go out to farm, what will it give to the court? At that time, if you can't pay taxes to the court on time and in quantity, the consequences will be very serious and the family may be killed. Therefore, people in ancient times devoted themselves to farming and did not study fishing too much. Coupled with poor technology, I naturally don't want to make a living by fishing.
