Ever wondered who’s crafting ancient scripts on the seashore? 🤔 If you take a bird's-eye view of the mudflats in eastern Ningde City, in southeast China's Fujian Province, you'll spot sand ridges that look just like oracle bone scripts—the earliest form of Chinese writing! 📝✨
But these aren't the work of mystical forces. They’re the masterpiece of local fishermen from Xiapu County, who've been \"writing\" on the sea for generations. 🌊🎣
These savvy sea cultivators set up circular net cages and build uneven seawalls stretching out in all directions. The result? Intricate patterns that not only help them gather seafood but also create stunning visuals from above! 🐟🦐🦀
The nutrient-rich mudflats of Xiapu are a haven for fish, shrimps, crabs, and other marine life. It's nature's buffet, and the fishermen here know just how to tap into it—bringing prosperity to their communities for centuries. 💰🌿
So next time you see those mysterious markings on the seashore, you'll know it's the hardworking fishermen of Fujian turning the tides in their favor! 🌅💪
