快过年了，按老习俗当地要有一次祭湖祭鱼的活动。游客的需求和商业的参与，让眼前的仪式变得更加隆重。石把头作为主要演员也要上台表演。眼前的场面和老人记忆里的祭祀有很大差别，但他还是虔诚地祈求湖里的神仙恩赐来年的丰收。
Spring festival is approaching. In tradition, there will be a sacrifice for the lake and fish. Tourism and commercial operations make the ceremony even more grand. Shi will play aleading role in the performance. Though the ritual has been changed a lot, Shi still prays piously to the lake god for a good harvest next year.
网在冰下走了8个小时，终于到了收网的时候。“来货啦！”渔工们激动的喊着。水底的世界被整个地打捞了起来，被上天厚爱的人群又一次获得了馈赠！令人感慨的一幕发生了，大鱼们肥美的身躯刺激着所有人的神经，但是没有人会注意到一个细节，拉上来的网中竟然没有一条小鱼，每条鱼的重量几乎都在两公斤以上。只有老把头知道，这正是查干湖渔民心口相传的严格规定，冬捕的渔网是6寸的网眼，这样稀疏的网眼只能网到5年以上的大鱼，这样未成年的小鱼就被人为地漏掉了。郭尔罗斯蒙古族有一句话叫做猎杀不绝，讲的就是这个道理。
Eight hourslater, it’s time to pull out the nets. “Coming up, fish!” The entire load of fish has been extracted. The lucky locals have received generous gifts from nature once again. The moment arouses people’s thoughts and feelings. Thefishermen are excited at the big fat fish. But no one notices that there are no tiny fish that weigh less than two kilograms in the nets. Only Shi knows. It’sa strict rule among the fishermen that has been passed on for generations. Each mesh of the fishnet is twenty centimeters in diameter. This specific design enables the net to only trap fish over five years old. The young fish are able to escape. As the Gorlos Mongo saying goes, “Always leave something for the next hunt.” It’s a sound principle.
“一年一次必须得搞的，这是古代传下来的那不能差，这不是年年有余吗，今儿咱们把鱼都带回去，今儿晚上咱们就吃鱼喝酒！”石宝柱心情愉悦的对我们讲道。
“You must do it every year. You must abide by the long lasting tradition. It represents a wish for an annual surplus. Let’stake all the fish hunted today!”
刚出水的大鱼正在石把头的家里准备迎接除夕，依照老传统，年夜饭还是一桌全鱼宴。隆重的晚宴中，鱼是绝对的主角儿，女婿做得一手好菜是家里的大厨。完成全鱼宴上的14道菜，穷尽了他的全部手艺，重头戏是垮炖杂鱼，一定要用上东北的大酱调味，先炖透胖头鱼，再依次放进几种杂鱼，混搭的感觉像极了东北人的率性和直截。家里的孩子陪着老人一起喝酒，辛苦的一年过去了。
The big fish just caught are to be cooked at Shi’s family for the dinner on the lunar New Yea’s Eve. Traditionally, it’s a rich feast of fish. It’s the main ingredient of all the dishes. Shi’s son-in-law cooks well and will serve the entire family. He exhausts his ability to complete all fourteen dishes on the fish menu. The main dish is stewed fishes seasoned with a special sauce from the northeast. First, stew the bighead carp thoroughly. Then, add in several other fishes one by one. Thecombination represents the straightforward character of the locals. Children accompany the elders for a drink after a tough and busy year.
“这个是生鱼、生鱼片，这个是银鱼，武昌鱼，这个是鱼肉段儿。”石把头给我们介绍着各种鱼的佳肴。 鱼鲜混杂的味道，弥漫在查干湖渔村的夜晚。
“Let’s do not think but enjoy fish and alcohol tonight! This is sashimi. This is white bait.Wuchang fish and

自然的馈赠（6）--- 海洋恩赐
湖水的馈赠，固然养育了依水而居的人们。然而海洋，更是许多中国人赖以生存的水世界。
Gifts from the lakes have nourished the residentsnearby while the ocean is an even more important source of food that Chineserely on.
广西京族三岛上的渔民曾经用高跷捕鱼的方式，得到浅海的鱼虾。鱼群通常在西南季风来临的清晨和傍晚活动，这个高度借助一副高跷，再撑开渔网作为支点，可以有效地将近海的鱼虾一网打尽。站在海岸线上，总会有资源将尽的感慨，以前很发达的高跷捕鱼，现在逐渐成为民俗旅游项目。在京族的万尾渔村，这是最后5个会高跷捕鱼的人。对于海边的人来说，更深的诱惑还在深海之中。
On the Three Islands of Guangxi, inhabited by Jing ethnic groups, thefishermen used to fish on stilts. Fish usually swarm in the morning and eveningwhen the southwest monsoon dominates. By casting the fishnet while standing onstilts, the fishermen can efficiently catch fish in the shallow sea. Facing thesea, people could not help but sigh over the shrinking availability of natural resources. Today, the once prosperous fishing method can be seen only infolklore performances. These are the last five men capable of the stunts inWanwei, Jing ethnic village. To the seaside residents, the deep ocean is much more attractive.
中国拥有长达1.8万公里的海岸线，但是捕鱼的地方离开海岸越远，危险的系数就越高。走近妈祖庙祈福，意味着新的航行马上开始，海南人林红旗是远洋捕捞队的船长。冬天里，林船长的渔船已经准备好柴油、食物和淡水，即将从三亚的海港起航。船上的20个人，大部分都是青壮年。不断减少的鱼群让船长林红旗承担着一无所获的风险，但是船长知道，自然的馈赠时常不随人愿，机会还要靠自己去把握。
