Hot summer days, extreme heat is unbearable. The peasant uncle sweated like rain in the sun, and the social animal students sat indoors bored, their minds flying into the sky.
At such a moment, no one can refuse the call of the sea. Even if you haven't really kissed the waves, you must have brushed a lot of videos on platforms such as B station, Kuaishou, Douyin, and watermelon.
What is catching the sea? It refers to going to the beaches and reefs of the sea to collect stranded seafood at low tide, which is a popular activity of the working people on the seashore since ancient times.
Human beings like to chase the sea for a long time, and the earliest can be traced back to two thousand years ago. In East Asia in particular, there is a profession called haenyeo, who dives naked into the sea, relying solely on slender ropes attached to their husbands' hands. Japan also filmed a TV series called "Haenyeo" in 2013, which was loved by audiences.
But you may have noticed that the ancient labor of chasing the sea is becoming a decompression medicine for contemporary student social animals. Search for the keyword "catch the sea" on any platform, and you can find a lot of confessions of social animals who are addicted to it and can't extricate themselves.
This thing is not only loved by mainland netizens. Open the Tubing search to catch the sea, the highest video has tens of millions of views, and there are many foreigners in the comment area shouting "We need English".
Due to the popularity of the sea circle, the sea circle also once cooperated with the fashion media to form a "sea catcher alliance".
Looking at the simple and unpretentious smiling faces on the posters and videos, and their dark and strong figures, I inexplicably feel that this Internet is real to some point. These unfiltered videos of rushing to the sea have captivated millions of people and opened a window to the real world.
To be honest, in today's era of DingTalk and WeChat rule, social animals do not have much time for themselves every day. In the morning, I go to work with sleepy eyes, and I have to worry about the bus and subway whirring through in front of my eyes. Close your eyes late at night and early in the morning, and worry about the sudden work notifications sent by social software.
While electronic products facilitate communication, they also greatly deprive us of living space.
But in the sea-catching video, a person, a bucket, and a pair of gloves are almost all the equipment needed by the sea-catchers. They face the sea, eat and sleep in the wind, their bodies are tanned by the hot sun, and their skin is scarred by the sea breeze, but they also remind the office social animals of the childlike life of herding and catching shrimp with the neighbor's big brother as a child.
At that time, the sky was blue and the fields were rich in species. Every summer vacation, there are three or four big brothers next door, carrying newly purchased buckets and walking several miles to the canal to catch lobsters.
These experiences are like unknown adventures, you are never sure what you can catch today, but as long as you have a little gain, you will smile when you come home in the evening.
Watching the video of catching the sea is equivalent to the big guy taking you to fly. Sea catchers are all skilled, always within our reach, digging up marine life that we have never seen before, like online card live broadcasting, one after another people can't stop.
The reef at low tide is a large cemetery for exotic creatures and the best hunting ground for sea chasers. After removing the stones, the small crabs underneath will flee in all directions. You can see barnacles clinging to the reef and abalones of the "Golden Legend" hiding beneath the reef.
Experienced sea catchers, just by the size of the air holes on the beach, can dig three feet into the ground to dig up the treasure, it is like opening a humanoid perspective hanging.
In another video, a big guy is seen groping under two discarded oil tanks. When I was still wondering if there were any creatures alive in the waters that were muddyer than the Ganges, the big guy pulled out a three-two-big blue crab in the next second.
Luckily, even the great white shark is in our net. Catching the shark meat and chopping it into balls also made the ocean overlord feel the pain of artificial knife tricks for fish meat.
Sharks are caught out to sea
For those who want to learn the art from teachers, the sea catcher is very happy to share dry goods, and the on-site hand-to-hand teaching is more than you can learn in knowledge.
For example, if the pump is slightly modified, it can become a "sea god" for hunting Phi Phi shrimp.
Bottles and cans that are not used at home can be buried on the beach, and they are the favorite habitat of octopuses.
Remember that the world is full of dangers, and don't be fooled by the cute appearance of some creatures, and the big-fingered gadgets bite people more terrible than dogs.
If you see these soft and sticky transparent balls on the beach, don't step on them, they are not human toys, but the eggs of mud snails, and actively develop breeding is promising.
Before watching Xiao Liang's popular science, I thought that the snail was a low-level creature with only antennae at most, but I didn't expect that this thing actually had eyes, and it was quite cute to take a closer look.
The social animals trapped in front of the computer actually can't understand what the operation of the sea chasers means. But when they fish out brightly colored shells or Cthulhu-looking tentacle creatures the next second, we will still be happy like children, while "666" exclaims the big guy is good, and "hahaha" laughs like a fool.
Flipping through the comment area, it is not difficult to see that the video of catching the sea has become a haven for the hearts of many urban people. The flesh of the workers is trapped in reinforced concrete, but they rely on the "cloud to drive the sea", and when they perch in the middle of the night, they pin their souls on the vast and endless blue beach.
We also know that catching the sea is just the daily life of people living by the sea, not an entertainment program. The real seafarers work at sunrise, return at sunset, shuttle through the mudflats, always make themselves smelly, and the results of the day are only a few minutes of video, and may even return empty-handed.
But even if he is empty-handed and embarrassed, the barrage and comments will still encourage the sea catcher who has stuck himself in the hole, and play with the crab he wants to catch.
Catching the sea is like that. It has experienced the initial explosion, the counterfeiting storm in the middle, and the revival of today's heat, and a large number of UP masters have emerged in and out. But there is no hunting and inner volume here, and it is often those who are most sincere to catch fire to the end and harvest the recognition and happiness of the social animals.
Where does this happiness come from? Think about it carefully, the current student party, working dogs, in fact, have seen the world is not a lot, most people for the eye-opening has not much pursuit. The epidemic has made us realize that the moon in foreign countries is not so round, and the online shopping and public reviews everywhere have made the things that were difficult to buy in the past no longer scarce.
High-rise buildings are not worth marveling at, and electronics are at your fingertips. When the hottest news of the day is always the first to arrive, and the cool game masterpieces can be purchased as soon as they are released, more and more people begin to lose interest in them, fall into a state of low desire, and panic about the digital world.
How long has it been since the family put aside their phones and sat around talking? How long has it been since I went home with three or five friends, after climbing the mountain and fishing, singing in the wind?
We desperately squeeze into big cities for a better life, but we can no longer feel the "fireworks" rooted in our genes. Accidentally let the vision leave the city, feel the sea breeze, and suddenly find the child buried in the depths of the heart.
In the final analysis, compared to the lack of material, our fun and childlike heart lost in the torrent of steel are more precious.
