The Art of Fishing With Birds

Along the scenic Lijiang River in China, brothers Huang Yuechang and Huang Mingde have been keeping up a centuries-old tradition of fishing with cormorant birds. Forgoing nets and modern fishing poles, these brothers have cultivated relationships with their birds in a way that’s found them success in cormorant fishing for more than six decades. But with no young fishermen choosing this ancient method, they may be the last ones to carry on this rare Chinese tradition.
This Great Big Story was inspired by Genesis.

Tammy though it's sad to see such skills to die out. There is no reason for it to exist anymore other than cultural preservation. He himself said it, people started using nets as it is far more effective and efficient.

It's sad to see traditions die out, but it's inevitable. Traditions either die out completely or conform to the needs of the current age. In the future, our way of life, our cultural icons will also fade. It's the cycle of nature. But in the end, we are where we are because of the sacrifices older generations have made, just be prepared to step into those shoes when the times change.

@Green Giant being on the internet or RU-vid does not automatically shield you from being called out when you do something wrong. It just makes you able to hide and most of the time nobody kicking your ass. Try joking about bomb threat to a school. And you can wait for some uniformed men knocking your door. Some jokes aren't funny. And some accusation is just over the line. Actions have consequences. And that's the problem. You don't care what's the consequences. Or too cowardly to admit you are wrong and say sorry. Saying you are joking does not make everything automatically better. Learn from it. Or one day you may your joke may land you somewhere really bad. Most of the time I am a chill dude. But your joke was just bad. Find a better joke. And I will laugh with you.

This is something BEAUTIFUL, and it hurts me a lot to know that this type of art of fishing with birds will be lost forever😢

@Moses_VII 5 лет назад

If it's lost, just look harder ; you'll probably find it. But seriously we can't lose this amazing skill. I like birds. And doing stuff with them. Especially that.

I find it so cool how the birds are just chilling on the side of the bote above their masters, slowly rowing down the river. Such bond and relationship.

And no chance of over fishing the waters, leaving nets or lines behind for other creatures to become tangles, no plastics used, etc. It's a win win win win situation.

He has master shifu character material... btw maybe the government should protect this tradition as a tourism attraction? fishing with birds like this will not suffice to cover living cost this day, of course nobody wants to do that anymore. but if the government pay the fisherman to show this fishing technique as a tourist attraction, maybe it will preserve this unique tradition. just a thought tho

@ProtoKJ 5 лет назад

waters might get polluted by shitty tourists, and fishes would suffer

@Theskybluerose 4 года назад

degreatal My family is from around the area (Guilin to be more specific) and I was just there in July. Sadly the government doesn’t sponsor them but there are already Fishermen like the one in the video that gets paid by tourists to show them how they fish with the birds.

Luckily, this tradition isn't only carried on by him and his brother; there are other fishermen in China who still use this practice. Also, besides China, Japan also still uses cormorants to fish. It's definitely a rare skill nowadays, but it's not extinct yet.

It probably takes an enormous amount of time to train and maintain the birds to only make a poverty wage. I can completely understand why the kids dont want to do it. Would you while living in a hut with no modern amenities?

@unknownf5376 4 года назад

thelongs27 yes that’s traditional living and i would give up social media and The city to live a life like that, they seem happy and healthy i would trade for that life anyday

@GreenThumb27 4 года назад

@@unknownf5376 I think you are in love with the idea rather than the execution. We all think they are living this semi relaxed life style but its very far from the truth. They work and work hard, 7am to 7pm every day, no breaks, no electricity, no doctors, no modern convinces, no weekends. If you want that "traditional" living, why not get rid of modern things here? Personally I think most traditions is just peer pressure from dead/old people to keep doing what they enjoyed.

@unknownf5376 4 года назад

thelongs27 cant do that in new york city but in the future i would love to leave all behind Don’t be so fast to judge and assume they look happy and enjoy what they do. Social media just fucks up traditional values and appreciation of real world things.
