Original text: To the east is the Jieshi to view the sea. Where is the water? The mountains and islands are standing tall. There are many trees and lush grass. The autumn wind is bleak and the waves are rising. The journey of the sun and the moon is like going out of it. The stars are as brilliant as if they came out of it. Fortunately, even singing praises one's aspirations.
Translation: Head east and climb Jieshi Mountain to enjoy the wonders of the sea. The sea is turbulent, and mountains and islands are lined up in the sea, towering upright. Surrounded by lush trees and lush flowers and plants, the bleak wind came, the vegetation swayed, and huge waves were set off on the sea, rolling and roaring, as if they were about to engulf the universe.
The rise and fall of the sun and the moon seem to come from the breast of the sea; the brilliant stars in the Milky Way also seem to emerge from the embrace of the sea. Ah, I am so lucky and wonderful. Let us sing to our heart's content and express our feelings freely.

Cao Cao's song "Viewing the Sea" accurately and vividly depicts the image of the ocean, which is simple yet full, rich but not trivial, just like a thick charcoal drawing. What is particularly valuable is that this poem not only reflects the image of the ocean, but also gives it character. Each sentence describes the scenery, and each sentence is lyrical.
It expresses both the sea and the poet himself. The poet is not satisfied with making a similar imitation of the ocean, but strives to express the deep, turbulent character of the ocean through images. The sea is originally lifeless, but it has character in the poet's writings. Only in this way can the face of the sea be reflected more truly and profoundly.
