This sentence means:
Standing on the top of the mountain, emotions seem to permeate the mountain; looking at the sea at the beach, imagination is like the surging sea water. It comes from "The Literary Mind and the Diaolong·Shensi" written by Liu Xie of Liang Dynasty in the Southern Dynasty. It means that we should be a person who loves life and devote ourselves to everything.
The original sentence is as follows:
"Wen Xin Diao Long." Spiritual Thoughts": "Husband's mind is full of destiny, thousands of miles are competing for beauty, rules are empty, and carvings are invisible. When climbing a mountain, the emotion will be full of the mountain, and when looking at the sea, the meaning will overflow into the sea. How much my talent is will be driven by the wind and clouds."
Translation: When a writer begins to conceive, countless ideas come to his mind; the writer wants to give these abstract ideas a concrete shape and carve out the unformed things in detail. When the writer thinks of mountain climbing, his mind is filled with the beauty of the mountains; when he thinks of watching the sea, his mind is filled with the wonders of the sea.
No matter how talented the author is, his ideas can follow the wind and clouds. When I first picked up the pen, the strong momentum far exceeded the words itself; when the article was written, it was more than what I had thought at the beginning. Why?

In order to do a good job in creative work, it is emphasized that writers should pay attention to accumulating knowledge, discerning truth, being good at using their own life experiences and training their emotions.
The second part uses writers from the past as examples to illustrate different types of artistic conception. However, no matter how fast or difficult the writer's conception is, in addition to practicing writing regularly, they must also strive to increase their knowledge and grasp the key points in their conception; only in this way can they achieve creative success.
The third part puts forward the necessity of artistic processing and explains the specific complexities of artistic conception. This article cannot fully explain it.
"Shensi" is an important document in ancient literary theory that discusses artistic conception in a relatively comprehensive and systematic manner. The creative activity of "Wandering between Gods and Things" proposed by it initially summarizes the basic characteristics of image thinking.
Although the "objects" Liu Xie talks about are mainly natural scenery and do not explicitly mention social life, this is his shortcoming; but he emphasizes "research and reading" and "expensive knowledge". etc., not only includes social phenomena, but also shows that Liu Xie pays considerable attention to the material basis of artistic conception.
