"People's Daily Overseas Edition" (07th, July 02, 2022)

When I first arrived in Jilin last September, I met a leader who had worked in Inner Mongolia. He asked me: "Chagan Lake's winter catching is now very static, but the Mongolians did not eat fish? "I really asked me.

Chakan Lake, Mongolian, is "Chakanl", which means white holy lake, located in Qiangelros Mongolian Autonomous County, Matshage Mongolian Autonomous County, northwest of Jilin Province. This is the Golden Triangle area adjacent to the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region and the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. The east of the Corin Prairie, the Huolin River and the Nenjiang River are intertwined here.

Over the years, every winter, Chagan Lake's winter catch is very eye -catching. Less than 8 months of work at Jilin, I actually went to Chagan Lake four.

The first time I went in late November last year, the lake has begun to freeze, desolate and quiet. About because the temperature is not low enough, some places are thick, some places are thin, and a few places are not frozen. Under the setting of the setting sun, the entire lake is like a freehand ink painting. Racin, on the black and white background, apply a touch of red and yellow.

That day, Zhang Wen, who happened to meet Chagan Lake. We wore thick down jackets and hats and gloves leather boots, covering tightly, still frozen and trembling; Zhang Wen only wore a slightly thicker jacket, the shirt neckline was open, and he was shocking.

"Fishing Head" is the inheritor of Chagan Lake Fishing and Hunting Culture. He is a capable person among fishermen. He knows fish nature. By observing the color of the ice and listening to the sound of the ice, he can accurately predict the location of the fish in the lake. When the winter is caught, the fish will be determined by the fish first. Someone beside me quietly told me that Zhang Wen was the 20th generation inheritor, and now it has become a "net red".

Zhang Wen told me that as of June 2021, the waters of Chagan Lake exceeded 400 square kilometers. Honghu in my hometown is known as one of the top ten freshwater lakes in China, and the water area is only 350 square kilometers. The area of ​​Chagan Lake is larger than Honghu, no wonder you can't see it at a glance.

The second time to check the Qianhu Lake was on December 28, just to catch up with the annual winter catch festival, the full name is "Twenty Ice Fishing Cultural Tourism Festival in Chagan Lake".

The Mongolians in history worship the mountains and rivers of Tiandi, and are known as the customs of worshiping mountains and waters.

First of all, the "Lake West Wake Network" ceremony was carried out: the "fishing handle" wearing a Mongolian robe and the gills of the gongs and drums was shocked, and the Mongolian girls in the pretending of the gongs and drums were shocked. The fishermen presented the dry milk, and the lama held the bell, playing the conch, horn number, and the table, ice and snow o'Ba, charcoal and fire turning three laps, chanting the scriptures, Chama danced with it; The wooden bowl filled with milk wine, raised his head with both hands, recited the worship of the lake, worshiped Heavenly Father, Mother, Lake God, and blessed all things in the living of all things.

Standing in the ice and snow of more than 20 degrees Celsius, this scene suddenly substituted people into the ancient times, sacred, solemn and mysterious.

After being copied by the juice, the lake was awakened after being copied by the juice, and the contemporary people were also awakened, and it came from all directions.

The owner said that due to the impact of the new crown pneumonia's epidemic, this time there was no big manipulation, but more than 40,000 people still participated. Many of the Internet celebrity anchors from all over the country came to live broadcast and traffic. In the previous year, 200,000 people came.

The third time I went to Qianhu Lake was after the New Year's Day. Drive directly to the lake in the middle of the lake at 7 in the morning. When they arrived, Zhang Wen was already busy with the ice. Every 15 meters every 15 meters, the area of ​​the net was 1000 meters long, and the horses with non -slip iron feet were leisurely throwing their tails nearby. Essence Zhang Wen said that they had already got off the lake at 2 am, determined the location of the net to close the net, prepared tools such as fishing nets, and feeded the horse.

At a noon, we rushed over again, and the fish had been collected. On the one hand, there was a Mara twist, and the fishing nets slowly dragged out from the ice; on the other side, the fish mouth was full of people on both sides. All are staring at the fish mouth. The fish that just came out of the ice was struggling in a lively jumping. Fat -headed fish, carp, and big white fish were different in size, and the larger ones were 20 or thirty pounds. The various live broadcasts of the Internet and self -media platforms are very lively to catch the winter.

Many of the people brought their children with their children. It is estimated that like me, it was strange to see.

I asked Zhang Wen, who was fishing for generations. I heard that the Mongolians did not fish or eat fish?

He said: "No, the fishing and hunting of Chagan Lake has been available since ancient times. The Mongolians of the Gueros have not only eaten fish, but also fishing." He added that there was an explanation that "Gueros's agriculture and The pastoral industry has not been well developed, and simply relying on agricultural and animal husbandry products cannot meet the increasing needs of the population, and eating fish has become an inevitable choice to maintain survival. "

I asked the locals to ask for a "Chagan Lake Fisheries" published in 2010. The book explained these things.

In the area of ​​Chakan Lake, rivers have been brewing in the rivers since ancient times, the forests are lush along the coast, the fields of the fields, the fertilizer of the water, the fish and shrimp shuttle, and the geese and ducks. The people here have lived in fishing and hunting for generations. Especially in the cold and long winter, they rely on traditional fishing methods to maintain livelihood and reproduce. In the late period of the Paleolithic era, the "Qingshan Head" on the shore of Chagan Lake was fishing, shrimp, and male hunting. To Liao Jin, Chagan Lake became a place where the emperor held a "spring bowl". The ice was cut off the fish, set up a "head fish banquet", the eagle catcher, set up a "head goose feast", and enjoy the hunting poultry hunting poultry Happy. It is both survival and entertainment. The leaders of the Management Committee of Chagan Lake Tourism Economic Development Zone used a group of row sentences to depict me the four seasons of Chagan Lake: the spring of spring, the beauty of the summer, the taste of poetry and painting in the autumn, the fishing and hunting in winter strange.

However, Zhang Wen told me that Chagan Lake has also experienced twists and turns in the history of Chakan Lake, which was dried up several times due to human and natural factors.

Zhang Wen recalled that in the 1960s and 1970s, due to the intensification of human activities in the main water source areas of Chagan Lake, coupled with drought and rain and water sources, the wetland area was significantly retreated. The near -dry lake surface caused the fish and reeds to be extinct. The exposed lakes were gone, and the wind rolled the sand was covered with the sky. The lake became dark red. The entire wetland ecosystem suffered a disaster. People even have to leave their hometown.

The turning occurred in the mid -1970s. The people of all ethnic groups in the former Guorros raised the county's power to excavate the "pine can". More than 80,000 builders used the original hand -dug -shoulder method, excavated more than 50 kilometers of waterways, and introduced Songhua River to Chagan Lake. In the following days, rivers and lakes were connected, wetland filtration, biodegradation, and sealing lakes, proliferation and release, reasonable fishing, tree planting, afforestation, returning farming and grass ... the ecology of all -round manual repair and governance industry.

Ecological restoration and governance must not only be manually repaired, but also adapt to nature, and give full play to the ability of nature to self -repair. "Give some sunlight is brilliant." As long as it is reasonable, gives the appropriate "soil", and the vigorous vitality erupted by nature's self -repair often exceeds people's imagination.

For example, checking the lake, tossing and tossing, you will find that many changes are just restoring the ecology and returning to the past. Today's lively Chagan Lake Winter Capture, including the spring bowl ceremony, is just the reproduction of ancient scenes. This kind of return is actually a rare gratitude. It is rebirth and a new starting point.

Even when they returned to the past, they were not simply restored. The ecological restoration of Chagan Lake restores the original ecology in addition to relying on the self -repair ability of nature, but also connects the artificial governance of water sources with rivers and lakes. The color is given the vitality and vitality of Chagan Lake.

In just a few decades, the ecological environment of Chagan Lake has gradually improved. After the resurrection, the region of Chakan, the water area recovered or even exceeded the original level, the water quality was improved, and the water grass was resurrected. It has now become the natural breeding ground of fish and the ideal habitat of birds. Each year, fresh fish output is more than 6,000 tons, and the number of seasons in winter caught is up to 520,000 kg. Birds in the protected area increase to 249 species and more than 200 wild plants.

People live up to Qingshan, and Qingshan is not upset. Chakan Lake reproduce the ice lake and fish, which is not only a promise of "people who live up to the Qianhu" and the realization of "Chakan Lake", and the perfect interpretation of people and nature.

That day, the local owner took me to see the Chagan Lake Ecological Town they was creating. The newly opened Chagan Lake Tourist Resort, with the characteristics of large lake wetlands, grassland scenery and Mongolian style in the summer, the main content of winter network fishing and showing fishing and hunting culture in winter, integrating tourism, entertainment, leisure, vacation, catering, shopping, shopping, shopping, shopping, shopping Elimination functions are integrated.

Chagan Lake found a way to survive, the road of wealth, and development. Protecting the ecology and development of tourism complement each other. In the harmonious coexistence of nature, people are coexisting and prosperous.

In mid -May this year, I came to Chagan Lake for the fourth time. In the early summer of the northeast, there is still a taste of spring in the south. Let's take the speedboat first, watch the rich water and grass, and stay in the waters full of puweed grass to watch the scene of the geese and ducks and nest incubation. The frightened birds were screaming and landing, not far away. After that, the platform that had just been proliferated recently, and then went to North Lake. 17 kilometers from east to west, arrived at the west bank of the lake, but saw the endless wetlands, and the group of birds flew from the wetland.

"Daniel crane!" Zhang Wen screamed in the same boat. Following his eyes, there are 4 big birds flying in the sky. "In this wetland, more than 200 kinds of birds inhabits all year round, because there are neither land nor water roads. ","

"There are aquatic plants at the bottom of the lake, and there are wetlands on the shore. Chakan Lake can be self -circulating with a complete ecological chain. From the perspective of fisheries, you will have a little cost of buying fish in except for the annual proliferation and release of flow. Don't you need to invest? "I asked.

"It's almost the same. Just by checking the Lake, how many people are raised by the lake, and it can continue for generations for generations."

This is the real reliance to eat water, and because of the "upset", it is reliable. However, in this way, both man and nature can get what they wish, and to achieve each other's dependence and joy, enough.
