The fisherman, wearing a green-colored Ruo hat and a green straw raincoat, braves the wind and rain and fishes happily, not needing to go home.

"Fishing Songs - White Heron Flying in front of Xisai Mountain" is a poem by Zhang Zhihe, a poet of Tang Dynasty. The first two lines of this lyric are about the place and season of fishing. In these two lines, mountains, water, birds, flowers and fish appear, outlining a beautiful environment for fishing and paving the way for the appearance of characters.

The last two lines of the poem are about fishing on the smoky waves. The last line of the poem is about fishing on the smoky waves, and the phrase "gentle wind and rain" in the last line is not only a realistic description of the scenery, but also has a deeper meaning. Through praising the natural scenery and the fisherman's fishing, the poem expresses the author's yearning for a free life.

Expanded Information:

The author was a landscape painter, who is said to have painted The Fishing Songs into pictures. Indeed, the lyrics are rich in picturesqueness. Cangyan, egrets, brightly colored peach forests, clear running water, tawny Mandarin fish, green bucket hats, green straw raincoats, vivid colors, clever ideas and beautiful moods make the reader feel as if he is looking at an excellent picture of spring flooding in the water countryside.

The lyric puts the author's love of freedom and nature in the beautiful water town scenery and idealized fisherman's life. What attracts the readers more is not the fisherman in a straw raincoat raining in the wind and rain, but the picture of the rising water of the spring river and the misty rain during the peach blossom flooding in February in the Jiangxiang township.

The green hills in the rain, the fishing boats on the river, the egrets in the sky, the red peaches on both sides of the river, the color is bright but looks soft, the atmosphere is serene but energetic. And this reflects not only the author's artistic craftsmanship, but also his far-reaching, tranquil and leisurely interest.
