Harvesting the Tide: The Art of Catching Tide-Top Fish

The video captures the traditional practice of catching tide-top fish along the Qiantang River. As the mighty river tide surges forward, the churning waters temporarily stun the fish within the river. Fishermen, skilled in this age-old technique, position themselves at the forefront of the tide, using nets to scoop up the disoriented fish. This method requires a deep understanding of the river's rhythms and a keen sense of timing. The scene is a testament to the resourcefulness and adaptability of the local people, highlighting how they have harnessed the natural phenomena to their advantage for sustenance. This tide-catching operation is not just a means of livelihood but also a reflection of the harmonious relationship between the people and the river, showcasing a balance between nature's power and human ingenuity.
