1. Explanation
Go eastward and climb Jieshi Mountain to see the vast sea. The sea is so wide and mighty, and the mountain islands stand high on the seashore. The trees and grasses are thick and luxuriant. The autumn wind blows the trees and makes a sad sound, and there are huge waves in the sea.
The movements of the sun and moon seem to emanate from this vast ocean. The stars of the Milky Way are brilliant, as if they were produced from this vast ocean. I am very happy and use this poem to express my inner ambition.
2. Original text
Viewing the Canghai
Cao Cao
Landing the Jieshi in the east, he looked at the Canghai.
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, if it comes out of it.
The stars are as brilliant as if they came from within.
Fortunately, I sing to express my ambition.
