For over a thousand years, fishermen along the rivers and lakes of southern China trained cormorant birds to dive and retrieve fish — perched on bamboo poles at the bow, waiting while the fisherman read the water. The straw-thatched cabin sheltered the fisherman through rain and sun; the flat-bottomed hull was built for the shallow, reed-lined waterways of Jiangnan.

This ancient practice, still alive in parts of Guilin and Hunan today, is one of the most distinctive traditions in Chinese river culture — and one of the most evocative images of life on the water.
