Second, the source and interpretation of sentences

One of Zhu's seven-character quatrains, a scholar in the Southern Song Dynasty, is Random Thoughts on Reading.

Whole poem

As soon as the half-acre square pond is opened,

The sky is full of clouds and shadows.

How can the canal be so clear?

Because there is inexhaustible living water for it.

Vernacular translation

Half an acre of square pond is displayed like a mirror, and the brilliance of the sky and the shadow of floating clouds ripple together in the mirror. Why is the water in that square pond so clear? It is because there is an inexhaustible source to continuously transport living water for it.

This is a famous poem that takes scenery as a metaphor. The whole poem takes the square pond as a metaphor, vividly expressing a subtle and unspeakable reading feeling. The pond is not a pool of stagnant water, but often full of living water, so it is as clear as a mirror, reflecting the sky and clouds.

Poetry has profound meaning. The vivid metaphor of the rich inspiration of calligraphy art from the source is the inexhaustible source of calligraphy works, which clarifies the author's unique reading experience, conforms to the characteristics of calligraphy art creation and embodies the essence of general art creation.
