What is poetic thinking in spring? What does the water boat on Bajie Beach mean?

These two sentences are from Huang Tingjian's calligraphy sketch "Flower Fragrance Post". The whole poem reads: "The flower-scented people want to break the Zen, but their mood is actually past middle age. What is poetic thinking in spring? There are eight boats on the beach. "

The gist of the translation is:

It smells good when the flowers bloom, which seems to break the usual practice of meditation. In middle age, people still feel so moved by flowers. In spring, I have the idea of writing poetry, but it is like a beach with layers of water. How difficult it is to get on the boat!

Flower Fragrance Post is now in the National Palace Museum in Taipei.
