What does Shen Jing mean?

Tang Liu Zongyuan's poem "Looking at the beach island at the mouth of the Hengjiang River at the Shijie in Dengpu Prefecture" reads: "The floating light turns over the birds, and the sinking scenery shines on the scales."

these two sentences are antithetical.

floating and sinking are relative, while brightness and scenery are relative.

"floating, sinking" should mean high and low here.

radiance: the color of the sun; The meaning of sunshine.

scene: the original meaning is sunlight.

heavy scenery: low sunlight.

Sunlight shines on the fish in the water. (Wen scale, here refers to fish. )
