1. A decorative device enabling ornaments to sway back and forth inside a crystal ball amidst fluttering, shiny disc snowflakes, comprising a motor mechanism, including a motor; a gear set supporting frame positioned above the motor; a gear set gland that covers the gear set supporting frame; a plurality of transmission gears positioned between the gear set supporting frame and the gear set gland; and which mutually mesh; a plurality of gear shafts respectively extending into centers of the transmission gears; a lower magnet gland positioned above the gear set gland that enables the gear shafts to penetrate therethrough; a lower double-sided magnet positioned above the lower magnet gland that enables the gear shafts to penetrate therethrough; a transmission magnet gland positioned above the double-sided magnet that enables the gear shafts to penetrate therethrough; a gear mechanism, including a carrier frame, an upper surface of which is provided with a recess, two air rubber plug holes and a watertight ring support; a carrier frame gland that covers the recess of the carrier frame, a plurality of bolt holes are defined in the carrier frame gland; a magnet impeller shaft positioned center of the recess of the carrier frame; two air rubber plugs that are respectively fixedly plugged into the air rubber plug holes; an upper magnet gland positioned in the carrier frame gland that enables the magnet impeller shaft to penetrate therethrough; an upper double-sided magnet positioned above the upper magnet gland that enables the magnet impeller shaft to penetrate therethrough; a magnet impeller positioned above the upper double-sided magnet that enables the magnet impeller shaft to penetrate therethrough a watertight gasket positioned within the watertight ring support of the carrier frame; a main transmission shaft that penetrates the watertight gasket and extends into the watertight ring support of the carrier frame, an upper portion of the main transmission shaft is provided with an embedding piece; a rocking mechanism, including a rocking horse; a main power transmission member which is latched on an embedding piece of the main transmission shaft, and is provided with a latching hole; a rocking support, a top of which is provided with a circular sink, two sides of which are provided respectively with arc-shape lumps, and a central through-hole of which is located close to the latching hole of the main power transmission member; an eccentric wheel, below which is a latching shaft which is transfixed into the through-hole of the rocking support to be locked in the latching hole of the main power transmission member, and a top of which is provided with a poking stick; a rocking slide, a groove at a bottom end of which provides for an emplacement of the poking stick of the eccentric wheel, a connection shaft at a top of which is connected with a rocking horse, and a side edge of which is provided with a sliding rod; when the motor drives and rotates the transmission gears, then mutually repelling of the upper and lower double-sided magnets drive and rotate the magnet impeller wheel, thereby causing whirling of the water and fluttering of the shiny disc snowflakes, moreover, the transmission shaft is caused to rotate, thereby rotating the main power transmission member to drive the eccentric wheel to rotate, the poking stick of the eccentric wheel to drive the rocking slide to rotate, the sliding rod of the rocking slide to move on the arc-shape lumps of the rocking support, so as to drive the rocking horse to sway back and forth.
