(5) If there were no bottomless Shi Jian, how high would the mountain be? If you have a weak foundation, how can you build a thousand-storey tower?
[Notes]
(1) metaphor-metaphor about learning.
Longing for the length of the tree-I hope the tree grows tall.
(3) Must take root-its roots must be firm.
The source of spring must be profound-the source of spring must be extensive and far-reaching.
(5) if-if.
Andrew-how could you?
⑦ Let-If.

This poem uses trees, water, mountains, towers, etc. As a metaphor, things always have a foundation, and the foundation is deep and solid, so that things can develop smoothly and build successfully. These are metaphors of learning, which enlighten us that we must attach importance to the study of basic knowledge in order to master scientific and technological skills.
