What attracts us 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 festival in February in Jiangxiang. Green hills in the rain, fishing boats on the river, sky egrets, red peaches on both sides of the bank, the color is bright but also looks soft, the atmosphere is quiet but also full of vitality. This not only reflects the author's artistic craftsmanship, but also reflects his lofty, tranquil, and leisurely interest.

If the court is looking for Yuan Zhenzi, he will be fishing in the Yangtze River." The mountain is also in the Yangtze River.
