Translation of Fishing Songs:

The egrets are soaring freely in front of Mount Xisai; in the river water, the fat Mandarin fish swim happily; the peach blossoms floating in the water are so bright and full of color.

An old man on the bank of the river wore a green-colored Ruo hat and a green straw raincoat, braving the slanting wind and rain, and fishing leisurely; he was so mesmerized by the beautiful spring scenery that he didn't even go home when it rained.

Fisherman's Songs Appreciation:

Fisherman's Songs - The White Heron Flying in Front of Xisai Mountain is a poem by Zhang Zhihe, a poet of the Tang Dynasty. The opening two lines of this lyric are about the place and season of fishing. In these two lines, there are mountains, water, birds, flowers and fish, outlining a beautiful environment for fishing and paving the way for the characters to appear. The last two lines of the poem are about fishing on the smoky waves.

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 the praise of the natural scenery and the fisherman fishing, the lyric expresses the author's mood of yearning for a free life.
