The poem begins with the personification of fishermen and their fondness of tall tales: "I caught a huge fish." The tone of the I-narrator is that of a lady who is proud of her win against nature, her dominance over an animal that seemed to have eluded all other fisherman so far. However, as the poem progresses, we learn that this particular fish is not some ordinary one but rather a dragon whose blood contains powerful magic. In conclusion, we can say that this poem is very interesting because it gives us a glimpse into Chinese mythology where dragons are thought to be living creatures at first. It also tells us about fishing traditions in China.
