After a while, the wind stopped and the rain subsided, the weather turned sunny, and the sea surface was sparkling with white sails. , exceptionally beautiful. The poet was inspired by the poem and wrote six characters: "Tianya" and "Broad Sea and Sky" on the big stone. Later, a stonemason discovered Su Dongpo's handwriting and carved it out.
