臺灣 日月潭裡的竹筏與四手網

畫家署名為S. MISAKO. 1939。 四手網即四手吊網，又稱作「罾」，據傳是習自漢人的捕魚法。其構造乃在竹筏上建有拱形小屋，筏前有一大網。筏用二十多根的大竹編成，其上的拱形小屋並可覆蓋茅草。筏前之網甚大，寬達三丈餘，張網之杆長約四、五公尺，提網之杆又倍之。網之收與放，乃利用固定於筏前方之大木為支點，捕漁者即在筏上拉動網繩，網收起後，捕漁者再自大網中撈取魚獲。此種捕魚法，收獲量甚豐。（參考資料：日月潭國家風景區網站 http://www.sunmoonlake.gov.tw/sml/learn/word_show.jsp?word=%A5

[英文]The painter of this picture is S. Misako, 1939. A four-arm scoop net, also known as Zeng 罾, is said to derive from the fishing method of Han. The structure is that people build a small hut on their boats and put the net in front of the hut. The boat is made of about twenty bamboos and the root of the hut could be covered with grass. The net is so huge that the width is more than 10 meters and the bars that support the net are about four or five meters, several times smaller than those that carry that net. To open and close the net, people use a huge wood fixed in the front of the boat as a pivot. They pull strings on the boat and close the net. Afterwards, people can get fish out of the net. In this way, they can catch a great amount of fish once a time (NCL).S. Misako 1939
