DIAxHmm, China
This plate depicted a scene from the river, boats scattered around in the water with the landscape at the background.
Rivers are the veins of China, they provide water for irrigation, food source and transport. River scenes are the homeland for us and dreamland for others. In the Li River in Gui Lin, cormorant fishing is practiced, these birds are trained to capture the fish that had been attracted to the light from the boat and to bring them back to the fisherman, a bit like the hunting dogs.
