1. Analysis of works
On the east coast, climb Jieshi Mountain to see the vast sea. The sea is so vast that the islands stand high on the sea. Trees and paraquat are very lush. Autumn wind makes trees make sad sounds, and the sea is surging. The movement of the sun and the moon seems to come from the vast ocean. A trip to the sun and the moon, if unexpected; Han is a talented star, if you take him by surprise. I am glad to use this poem to express my inner desire.
To the east, climb the high Jieshi Mountain and enjoy the boundless sea. How vast the sea is, and the islands in the sea are towering. Surrounded by lush trees and flowers. The bleak wind came, the vegetation shook, and the waves in the sea surged. The sun and the moon rise and set, as if from this vast ocean.
The bright stars in the Milky Way also seem to emerge from the embrace of the sea. What luck! Just use poetry to express your feelings.
2. Style:
