What is the whole poem and significance of reading?

There are two poems about reading. Their poems are as follows:

First of all:

Half an acre of square pond is displayed like a mirror, in which the brilliance of the sky and the shadow of floating clouds move together. Why is the water in that square pond so clear? This is because there is an inexhaustible source to continuously transport living water for it.

Second:

Last night, the spring tide rose by the river, and the ship was as light as a feather. Pushing and pulling is always laborious, but today it can drift freely in the middle of the river.

Original text:

one

Half an acre of square pond is opened like a mirror, clear and transparent, and the sky and clouds are floating on the water.

Why is the water in the pond so clear? Because there is a steady stream of living water here.

Secondly,

Last night on the Ross River, this huge warship was as light as a feather.

In the past, it consumed a lot of energy and could not push it, but today it can move in the middle of water.

The central idea of "the first part":

Taking Tang Fang as a metaphor, it vividly expresses a subtle and unspeakable reading feeling. The pond is not stagnant water, but often full of living water, so it is as clear as a mirror, reflecting the sky and clouds. This situation is quite similar when the same person obtains new knowledge through questions, gains a lot of benefits from reading and raises awareness.

It is the author's personal reading experience as a great scholar, which shows the flowing air field, clear thinking, fresh and lively spirit and self-satisfaction. Although this feeling expressed in the poem is only for reading, it has profound meaning and rich connotation and can be widely understood.

In particular, the phrase "ask how clear the canal is, so there is flowing water from the source" means that the clarity of water is due to the continuous injection of flowing water from the source, which implies that people must study hard and constantly supplement new knowledge if they want to have a clear mind. Therefore, people often use it as a metaphor to constantly learn new knowledge in order to reach a new realm.

People also use these two poems to praise a person's achievements in study or art, which has its profound roots. Readers can also get inspiration from this poem. Only when their thoughts are always active, open-minded, receptive to different ideas and fresh knowledge, and inclusive, can they keep thinking and keep a new stream. These two poems are condensed into a common idiom "the source of living water", which is used to describe the source and motive force of the development of things.
