长岛渔号,海上“信天游”

Changdao Chant, a Marine Melody

三百年前的一个清晨,一座渔村像往常一样从海上醒来。风经过黄海与渤海的交界处,穿过砣矶岛上起伏的山势,拂在每一位渔民黝黑的脸上。与平时不同的是,风不再凌厉如刀,而是带来了一股温润潮湿的春的气息。停泊在海边的三百艘大风船(木质帆船,母船带子船为一艘)知道,又一次长岛海捕季到了。渔民纷纷与家人道别,登上帆船。

Originated from Tuoji Island, the second island in Changdao, Changdao fishing chant enjoys a long history as a work chant that embodies the history of Changdao. In the movement of the earth’s crust billions of years ago, the Bohai Basin, Cangzhou, Xian County and Huanghua underwent three major marine transgressions and regressions before they finally became the Changshan Archipelago, a typical existence among the 6,536 islands in China. With a long history, Changdao was inhabited by ancients who procreated here from the late stage of the Paleolithic Age. Changdao locals made a living by the sea generation after generation, creating a splendid fishing and hunting culture. Beizhuang Relic, Zhenzhumen Relic and the ancient northern town are all evidence for the fishing and hunting culture of Changdao that lasted for 6,500 years.
