On the surface, poetry captures the vast images of the sky, white clouds, the Arctic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean, writes landscapes, depicts the magnificent scene of Hong Tao rushing to the ocean, and eulogizes the magical power of nature. In fact, the surging ocean symbolizes the surging trend of the times on the land of China at that time. This trend is destructive to the old world, the old culture, the old tradition and the old order, and it pushes the ancient China forward rapidly towards brand-new ideas, cultures and systems.
The title of the poem "Number Standing on the Edge of the Earth" is the eyes of the whole poem. The seven verses in the main body all dominate the action of "playing with numbers". In the dialect of Guo Moruo's hometown of Leshan, Sichuan, the meaning of "horn" is richer than that of "horn", which is only an objective action, and "horn" has a heroic momentum besides action, including the penetrating power of horn flying in all directions.
