It is the crystallization and sublimation of workers' sweat and tears. Mr. Lu Xun called it "Yu Hang School", which was directly manifested as manual labor. Its outstanding artistic features are strong sense of rhythm and rich flavor of life. When the fisherman in Dongmen set sail, he sang "Raise the Shed": "Larkin, hey! Hello, Erla Luo Yin! Sanla jewelry shines, and the sea does not bear the fisherman. " There are also "songs of hanging nets", "songs of pulling boats", "songs of anchoring", "songs of rowing" and so on. The rhythm is sharp and rapid, frustrating and powerful, giving people a magnificent collective strength and a powerful infection of labor creating the world. For thousands of years, the fisherman's chant has accompanied the people in fishing areas to create a miracle that human beings overcome nature and played a huge social function. Nowadays, although machinery has replaced collective labor and the way of singing with songs has gradually disappeared, fishing songs have eternal historical and cultural value. Shipu's "Fishing Songs" is a good example, which is popular all over the country and deeply loved by the masses. The song of life. This kind of song is a ballad created by fishermen according to their personal life experience. It has a relatively free number of sentences and words, no fixed format, distinctive features, strong life atmosphere and delicate psychological description. For example, "Three Knives on the Fisherman's Head": "Three knives on the fisherman's head, three roads in front of the fisherman, starving to death and jumping into the sea." Another example is "The Fisherman's Seven Musts": "Be afraid if the storm eats, the robber touches it, the fish should not worry, it should be dried in June, frozen in winter, shaken without wind, and the bargaining should be angry. The fish farmers are really miserable." There is also "Fish Lang", which directly tells the tragic situation of fishermen: "Fish Lang, I am really sad and sleepy. I moved to bed, ate pickles soup, wore rags, and went back to the house. My parents saw tears, and my wife saw a deep sorrow." Every word of blood, sound and tears fully reflects the miserable life of fishermen in the old society. Song of etiquette. Songs used in festivals, sacrifices, sacrifices, funerals and other ceremonies are called etiquette songs, which have far-reaching social significance and reflect the customs and habits of fishermen. Fishermen get married, and friends and relatives "sing wine" and "He Lang" in the new house at night: "Yellow croaker comes cooing in spring, and my brother catches up with the early tide when fishing. When the yellow croaker was caught in braise, A-mei ate Mimi and smiled. " Dongmen Island is on the fourteenth night of the first month, and there is also the custom of carrying a basket to invite girls. The girls drew a bucket of water from the well and put it in front of the hall. There is a bronze mirror hanging outside the bucket, and four girls sit cross-legged. Everyone has a bamboo chopstick in his right hand and a round dustpan on it. There are four things on the back dustpan: soldering iron, scissors, ruler and flowers. The back basket can swing by itself, and everyone recites: "There are stars in the back basket, and scissors and soldering iron are used as matchmakers. Flowers for you to wear, powder for you to collapse (rub), please carry a basket and come and see the lights. What lamp? Square winter drum lanterns, two pointed olive lanterns, too many cooks' rice crab lanterns and fish lanterns are all fishermen's favorites ... "Girls will knock a few times when they ask their age, which is generally accurate, and they can also ask others. In addition, there is "Ten Busy Things" sung by local villagers at the funeral, which is also very interesting.

Dongmen, during the Hongwu and Jiajing periods of the Ming Dynasty, the Japanese pirates sneaked into the territory from the sea many times, burning, killing and looting. The court moved Chang Guowei to Dongmen Island in Xiangshan, and the fishermen on the island hated the Japanese, calling peas Japanese beans, boiling Japanese beans and frying Japanese beans (Japanese pirates). The lullaby "The Japanese Pirates Come" was born from this. Japanese pirates come, just like tigers, scaring children to sleep. Between the lines, it says, "The enemy is coming, the enemy is coming, and Allah (my) baby is coming to sleep." The child cried restlessly at night, and wrote in red paper: "Emperor, the child cried in his mother's room, and the passing gentleman watched it once and slept until dawn", and posted it at the intersection of Dongmen Zhijie, saying that it could cure the child from crying at night. Another example is "Getting Gold from the Seabed under the Moon": "The stars are shining in the sky, and there are countless fishing boats at sea. The fishing net breaks the bottom of the sea and takes gold under the moon (large yellow croaker). " Another example is "Fish Name Ballad": "The eel is long, the pomfret is flat, and the plum with big head is short. Flying fish fly, mullet jumps, and eyeless jellyfish float on the water. Yellow croaker is yellow, hairtail is bright, and Ray's eyes are unilateral. Squid black, bearded, carrying a chopping block, cruising the rivers and lakes. " It's interesting to read. Love songs.

Lang Aichang's boss Yuan is very busy during the Chinese New Year, eating fish and meat to show off. I'm looking forward to my husband's boat arriving early, but unfortunately I'm still pulling barrels at Langgang! In February, the orchid flowers are fragrant, and the boss of Changyuan is going out. Lang Ai-I asked Changyuan to bring snacks and glutinous rice cakes. There is nothing to give Lennon at home, although I am wholeheartedly! ..... In June, the lotus was floating on the water, and my husband was fishing in another house. Lang Ai-Mosquitoes are like bullies in June, and people go home early with lanterns. Husband is still fishing for shrimp and didn't come home in the middle of the night! Impatiens bloomed in July, and the business just came back.
