The main plot of "Amber" is: a fisherman's child dug out a piece of rosin on the beach. A fly and a spider from 10,000 years ago were sealed in the rosin.

"Lang Tao Sha" by Bai Juyi
The vast white waves are connected to the sea, and the flat sand is boundless in all directions.
At dusk and in the morning, I couldn’t find anything to buy, so I turned the East China Sea into a mulberry field.
[Notes]
The East China Sea turns into mulberry fields: The fairy Magu in mythology saw the East China Sea turn into mulberry fields three times. Later he pointed out that things in the world have changed a lot.
［Translation］
The white waves are endless, connected to the sea, and the sand on the shore is also endless.
Day after day, year after year. The waves never stop washing the sand, so the evolution of the sea appears.
[Appreciation]
This poem points out the law and huge power of the rise and fall of tides. The tides constantly impact the coast, causing the coast to constantly change.
Although this change is not easy to measure, the vast seas turn into plains, and the vast seas turn into mulberry fields. They are happening unconsciously.
Magnificent and beautiful! -------the power of nature.

A line from another poem by Bai Juyi: "The grass grows in the original plain, withering and growing with each passing year. The wild fire cannot burn it out, but it grows again with the spring breeze."
There is a similar philosophy.
