The origin of Zhang fishing

The sources of salvaging slips are as follows:

Fisherman Zhang is a character in China folklore, and his story is widely circulated. According to legend, Zhang is a lazy man, doing nothing all day, only fishing for a living.

One day, Zhang came to the river to prepare for fishing. He sat by the river, lazily swinging his fishing rod, motionless. Suddenly, his fishing rod suddenly moved. He thought, "Well, a fish has been hooked." However, he didn't rush to pull the joystick, but continued to sway lazily.

After a while, there was a slight movement, and Zhang, a fisherman, thought that a fish had been hooked. However, he was still in no hurry to pull the joystick and continued to sway lazily.

This situation has been going on for a long time. When others saw this scene, they all thought that fishing Zhang was really a lazy man.

One day, a passer-by asked Zhang, a fisherman, curiously, "Why do you always hang around lazily instead of pulling the pole?" Fishing Zhang lazily replied, "I didn't throw my pole for fishing, but for waiting for bigger fish to bite."

This story is the origin of Zhang fishing. Fishing Zhang's laziness and no hurry to pull the pole make people confused about his behavior. However, Zhang fishing is actually waiting for a better opportunity, hoping to catch bigger fish at one time. This story has also become a fable, warning people not to be eager for quick success and instant benefit, but to wait patiently for better opportunities.

This is another legend:

Yuzhang, which originated from hundreds of small villages along the Yellow River, was established by Zaoqiang immigrants from Hebei in the early Ming Dynasty. According to Zhang's genealogy in this village, in the second year of Hongwu in Ming Dynasty, the Zhang brothers moved from Zaoqiang County in Zhili to settle down, and all three brothers had fishing skills. After they immigrated to Shandong, one of them came to Putai County, Shandong Province and chose to live by the Daqing River. He lived by fishing for generations, so he was named after fishing Zhang.
