摘要
The winter fishing season on Chagan Lake, in Northeast China＇s Jilin Province, begins at the end of December each year. The season lasts for a few weeks, and is always over by the end of February. During winter fishing season, ethnic Mongolian men wear their traditional clothes - dogskin hat and sheepskin coat - when they fish through the ice on Chagan Lake. They always fish early in the morning, before the sun rises. The fishers, who live alongside Chagan Lake, have long been referred to as ＂the last tribe in northeastern China to make a living by fishing.＂
每年的阴历十一月，湖面冰层达到30多厘米的时候，冰封雪覆的查干湖就开始沸腾了。每天天还没亮，朴实勤劳的渔工们就戴着狗皮帽子，穿着羊皮袄准备进湖。在中国北方最后的渔猎部落，查干湖冬捕至今仍然保存着自己原始独特的捕捞方式。
