On october 28th, chinanet wenzhou (journalist li ting ting intern hou min hyen) fishers have been fishing for the sea since ancient times. And in the cave area of wenzhou, zhejiang province, on the eastern coast, there is a group of “special” fishermen who are fishing nets, and when they are free, they pick up their brushes and paint a picture of a fisherman who is vivid, colourful, exaggerated and emboldened with a strong ocean air。
The painting is a unique art form in the zhenan region. It is well conceived and well-colored. It combines watercolors, decorative paintings, annual drawings, etc., and is free and bold. It is well crafted, coloured and coloured。

The authors of these works, both fishing crews and web-weededed sister-in-law, have not received training in beauty schools, but because of the fact that they have lived on islands for generations, they are very familiar with fishing production, island life, folk culture and folklore, and the drawings are marked with unique sea islands。
“in the early 1990s, after the modification of fishing vessels, fishermen began to create on board boards, mainly in fishing production, island life, folk culture and folklore.” the secretary of the party's cultural section in the cave area, su yihuai, told the journalists that initially the fishermen had made spontaneous drawings, which were rougher because of the lack of systematic art training. Having seen the development of the fisherman's painting, the local community led a series of art tutorials。
It was described that since 2002, the cavehead area had begun to develop fisherman paintings and that for more than 10 years more than 100 authors had been trained, of whom more than 80 were caveheads. In addition, fishermen have participated in more than 20 exhibitions, of which more than 100 have been awarded prizes and published in the country, in zhejiang province and in wenzhou city。

Shihua is an indigenous caveman who grew up in the sea from childhood and knows so well the local nature and the culture of fishermen. Speaking of the fate of the fisherman's drawings, xu aihua said, “i was surprised when i first saw the fisherman's drawings, and curiously joined the training course”
Before that, she didn't even have a brush, so she was clumsy. But now that she has been able to finish a painting, interesting people and things in life can be her writing。
As in the case of a flower of love, the local fisherman paints from time to time to reveal the strong sea smell. It's so simple and creative that it's so clumsy and cheesy and elegant。
Journalists have learned that the caveheads now hold an exhibition of fishers each year or two years, and that eight have been held. The painting of a cave-headed fisherman has become a unique art of marine culture. (concluded)
