The white clouds on the peak of the white clouds spread freely and the spring water flows quietly.

Baiyun Spring, why did you rush down the mountain to the waves of many things in the world?

These seven wonders are like a pale ink landscape with bright and concise lines. People do not pay attention to depicting the scenery on Tianping Mountain with strong colors, but deliberately depict the expressions of white clouds and springs, personifying them, making them full of vitality and vitality, and touching the poet's own leisure, giving people a funny and fresh feeling. Poets use symbolic techniques to describe scenes and express their ambitions, and use the freedom of clouds and water to compare the peace of mind and the leisure of mind; The natural waves aroused by the spring water symbolize the social storm. "Prosperity is here, righteousness is here", which is simple and far-reaching, intended to be beyond the image, with profound sustenance and full of interest. The style of this poem is unpretentious. Tian Wen in Qing Dynasty said, "Lotte poems are very simple and lovely, and they often take what is in front of them as insights, not published by others." ("Ancient Tang Huanji") This sentence reflects the artistic characteristics of this seven-line poem.
