Half an acre of square pond opened, and the sky was overcast.
Why is the water in the pond so clear? Because there is inexhaustible living water for it.
Translation:
Half an acre of square pond is displayed like a mirror, in which the brilliance of the sky and the shadow of floating clouds move together.
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.

Last night on the Ross River, the huge warship was as light as a feather.
It used to take a lot of effort to push it, but today it can move in the middle of water.
Translation:
The spring tide rose by the river last night, and the ship was as light as a feather.
Pushing and pulling has always been in vain, but today I can drift freely in the middle of the river.
Creative background:
