*This phrase poetically describes a serene and fleeting scene in nature, where seagulls glide over the waves, and small, delicate duckweed leaves traces on the water’s surface as they float along. It evokes a sense of tranquility, movement, and the transient nature of life, often found in classical Chinese poetry to express the beauty and impermanence of natural scenes.
