Fishing
漁 is the act or sport of fishing, in a single character.
Used the same way in Chinese, Japanese Kanji, and old Korean Hanja.
Without a big net, how can you catch fish?
bù sā dà wǎng bù dé dà yú
不撒大網不得大魚 is a Chinese proverb that literally translates as: [if one does] not cast a big net, [one can] not get big fish.
Figuratively, this means: One cannot make great accomplishments without making great efforts or taking great pains.
This is sort of the fishing version of, “No pain, no gain.”
