Cool. Please elucidate.

OT

In some parts of mainland china, a master fisherman is responsible for mentoring the village fishermen and is basically responsible for feeding the population. Certain traditions and techniques are passed down from generation to generation, each village has it's own uniques styles.

I'm guessing that this tradition might not have continued in many regions because of modern commercial processes, but I was taught and mentored by him and I plan to pass on my knowledge to an apprentice once I attain at minimum 50 years of experience.

Not something commonly known I guess but it still exists in the poor regions of mainland china
