Description For centuries, Chinese fishermen have practiced an ancient and unique form of fishing using trained cormorant birds. This traditional method, dating back over 1,300 years, involves the fishermen taking their cormorants out on boats at night across rivers and lakes. Carrying a lantern to attract fish, the fishermen allow their cormorants to dive into the water and catch fish in their beaks.Β The fishermen then retrieve the fish from the cormorant's gullet when it returns to the boat.

The image captures one such fisherman out on the water at night, the flickering light of his lantern illuminating his face as he works alongside his winged hunting partner - a cormorant bird perched obediently by his side, ready to dive for their next catch. It's a scene that evokes China's rich cultural heritage and humanity's ancient bond with nature.
