Fishing songs are the songs of the people on the water, which is not only a traditional art, but also reflects the life culture of the singers. Since the 80s of the last century, Dr. Yip has spent more than 30 years visiting the eight major fishing villages and many small and medium-sized villages in Hong Kong, interviewing more than 100 singers, and collecting more than 3,000 examples of local fishing songs and other folk songs, original soundtracks and videos, including different versions of fish songs, ferry songs, song songs, boat songs, etc., most of which are valuable first-hand information. The whole book is a selection of representative fishermen's songs, which have been carefully sorted out by the author, recorded the lyrics, and even translated into playable scores. At the same time, the author analyzes the musical structure and lyrics of different fishing songs, and explores the fishermen's culture reflected in these fishing songs, including the historical allusions that fishermen are familiar with, the marriage process of people on the water, and the silhouettes of fishermen's life. Readers can learn about the wisdom and art of these increasingly forgotten water people from these most authentic and authentic alternative songs.
