What does "looking up at the sky" mean in Mao Zedong's poems?

Lift your eyes and look at the stretching sky.

This sentence comes from the word "water turns around and swims" written by Mao Zedong during his southern tour and three trips to the Yangtze River in 1956. The original text is as follows:

Only drink Changsha water and eat Wuchang fish.

Across the Yangtze River, you can see the endless sky.

No matter how stormy it is, it's better to walk around leisurely. You should have a rest today.

Zi Zaichuan said: The deceased is like a husband!

As soon as the wind blows, the tortoise and snake calm down, and the grand plan has been set.

A bridge flies north and south, and the natural barrier becomes a thoroughfare.

Set up the stone wall of Xijiang River, cut off the Yu Yun of Wushan, and let Gaoxia go out of Pinghu.

The goddess should be safe and sound, and will surprise the world.

Translation:

I just drank water from Changsha and ate fish from Wuchang. I crossed the Yangtze River and looked up at the endless sky. It doesn't matter whether the wind blows or surges, it's like walking around, and today I can finally enjoy myself.

The sails are floating on the river, the tortoise and snake mountain stand quietly, and the grand plan rises in the chest. The bridge will fly across the north and south, and the natural moat of the Yangtze River will be unimpeded. I will also erect a dam on the west side of the Yangtze River to cut off the rainy floods in Wushan and make a flat reservoir appear in the Three Gorges. The Goddess (goddess peak) will be surprised that the world has changed.
