Chinese nets on the coast of india

I once read a book but I am sorry to have forgotten, about ancient Chinese culture that left behind in India. on the west coast of India, 20 km from the southern tip of India subbenua, lies the city of kochi, formerly Cochin, along both sides of the bay tides are unique chinese mesh with its bracket, the net how it got there? Chinese people living in the area since the eighth century BC and it is estimated that the Chinese merchants at the time of Kublai Khan who first brought this type of netting to Cochin before the year 1400, there are many fish that can be captured near shore waters around Cochin, so fishing gear human-powered high-rise is in use for over a century, before the Arabs throw him out of there. After the Chinese go, the nets were removed, but in the early sixteenth century the Portuguese arrived and drove the Arabs, it seems potugis person who introduced the back net at Cochin, brought from the island of Macau with a Portuguese colony when it is precisely in southeastern China . although kon, sepnya already many centuries, Chinese nets still function properly without changing the design or how it works, and it continues to support the mesh nets of the fishermen livelihood and providing food for many people, actually catch one of the nets can feed a village but effective than the mesh is also beautiful, especially the graceful silhouette against a background of golden horizon at sunrise or sunset

How It Works ..........China is very large nets is to use a fulcrum and ballast to compensate for load and haul nets, nets kalu is not being used and the jib is lifted from the water, fishing starts early morning and lasted about four or five hours, the net slowly lowered into the water to does this fisherman to adjust the ballast on the other end of the counterweight system atu crew chief fisherman walking along the support center, the net is left in water for fifteen minutes to 20 minutes and then slowly lifted her scoop up the fish that swim near the shore, through the experience of many years chairman of the crew know when to pull the net. when the crew chief gave the order, the crew of five to six person lift nets with rope off of stone ballast, while the net is raised, the tip end of the first lift nets thus formed such that the net containing the fish bowl, how cheerful the fishermen after getting caught a lot, they pat each other to show excitement. fish fish was eventually auctioned off to the merchants, housewives or the tourists. Chinese people, Arabs, and Portuguese people come and go but China continues to go up and down the nets along the waters of kochi, unchanged for more than six hundred years.
