Baoshan County is close to the sea, with various tidal patterns, which is called a wonder. However, when I first arrived in this county, I never went out. Only when I stayed in bed at night, in the dead of night, there were strong winds and waves. It came menacingly, approaching the pillow next to the bed, dancing and roaring like a fish or a dragon. The image and sound always entered my dreams, making people feel free and happy.

In April in summer, Zhou Baoxu, a native of Jingxi, came from Wuzhong came (here). Baoxu has always liked to hunt for novels and got along well with me. On the fifteenth day of this month, we stayed together on the seawall to admire the moon. The sea waves were like landslides, the moon shadow was like broken silver, the sky was high and empty, clear and chilly, and we were all suspicious. This is not the realm of the human world, and I am very happy about it. Within a few days, we went together to watch the sunrise. By the time we arrived, it was already dark and we could not see clearly within a few feet. But listening to the sound of the waves beside my ears, I felt It's like the roar of wind and thunder suddenly coming. After a while, the sky will light up. The sun is about to come out, but it doesn't come out suddenly. A ray of light can be vaguely seen, rising and falling, and after a while, the sun will disappear. It has risen. "Chu Ci" said: "I sigh and linger and can't bear to leave suddenly." Without this, how can we know the craftsmanship and accuracy of all things represented here? When the sun jumps out of the sea, its brilliance is mottled and gushing out, roughly It’s the same as the moon. But the sun’s rays are so dazzling that you can only look at it briefly and not for a long time.

On the fifth day of the next month, Baoxu invited me again and set up a ceremony on Wusong Terrace. Banquet. The weather was clear and windless at noon, and the waves in the distance were as crystal clear as a mirror. Looking south to the ocean, it seemed like a dozen fallen leaves were floating and swaying between the waves. In less than one meal, we had reached Taiwan. Everyone who saw it thought it was a big boat. I only believed what Su Shi recorded about the scene of Dengzhou. So Baoxu and I talked about things in the capital and the world, and we sang songs to each other with great emotion (to express our tragic feelings). Baoshan is a county separated from Jiading, and the county on the other side is Chongming County. The water flowing between these two counties is actually a tributary of the sea, and It is not the real sea. But eighty miles east to west on the other side, what you can see is a very majestic and beautiful scene. Extending from here to the south, where you can see fallen leaves floating in the water, it is the sea. However, the sea and the sky They are connected as one and can no longer be distinguished.
