The practical significance of the sentence "you stand on the bridge and watch the scenery, and the people watching the scenery are watching you upstairs";
1, the scenery in your eyes is a bridge, the scenery in others' eyes is you, and your world view is different from others. So the first meaning of this sentence is that everyone's world outlook is unique, and everyone is unique.
You admire the scenery on the bridge and cast envious eyes on it, but you don't know that someone upstairs is watching you with envy. So the second meaning of this sentence is that people should be confident and don't envy others and lose themselves.

Broken chapter is a modern poem written by modern poet Bian Zai 1935. Through the instantaneous perception of "landscape", the poet intervened in the philosophical proposition of "relativity" "You stand on the bridge and watch the scenery", but compared with the people upstairs, "you" on the bridge is the scenery in their eyes, and they "watch you upstairs"; "The bright moon decorated your window", but compared with those who dream of "you", "you" decorate their dreams like the bright moon outside the window. The poet combines the philosophy of life with poetic images, showing his exploration of the universe and life; In technique and form, the poet combined traditional artistic conception with western symbolism, and formed his own modern poetic style.

Translation of works

The bright moon has decorated your window, and people who dream of "you" regard you as the bright moon outside the window and "decorate" their dreams.
Creation background
The broken chapter is written in 1935+00. According to the author, these four lines were originally in a long poem, but only these four lines were used to his satisfaction, so they were taken out to form an independent chapter, from which the title came.
The author once said: "This is a lyric poem, an instantaneous artistic conception written with super-cherished feelings. I like to think that people and things in the world are closely related, interdependent and interactive. People ('you') can see the scenery, or they may embellish it intentionally or unintentionally; People ('you') can see the bright moon decorating their windows, or they may consciously or unconsciously become decorations in other people's dreams. " He said, "I mean, pay attention to relativity. "It can be seen that the poet mainly wants to show a kind of kinship, so he created this poem.
works appreciation
Broken Chapter is a short poem with rich and obscure meanings in the history of modern literature in China. The poet injected strong philosophical thinking into his poems. The title of "Writing a Chapter" seems ordinary, but in fact it is a pun. One is a fragment extracted from a complete long poem, and the other is the lost and unspeakable emotion in human heart, and this unique feeling in the heart can often touch the softest place in human heart.
People often say that "a good poem is worth reading a hundred times", and these four short "broken chapters" are enough to read for a lifetime. The reason why this poem has enduring artistic charm and still gives people a strong sense of beauty is that the poet avoids abstract explanations and creates a symbolic and beautiful picture. The natural beauty and profound philosophy of the picture have reached a harmonious unity like a harmonious blend of water and milk.
In the meaningful picture, the poet conveys the philosophy of life obtained by his intellectual thinking, that is, the poetic experience beyond the poet's feelings: in the universe and even the whole life process, everything is relative and interrelated; In the combination of feelings, a moment can last forever; In the field of metaphysics, as the poet Blake said, "a grain of sand is a world"; In the field of life and morality, life and death, happiness and sadness, good and evil, beauty and ugliness are not absolutely isolated, but relative and interrelated. When people have an insight into this truth, they will not be bound by some secular ideas, and they will not haggle over whether it is necessary. They should gain freedom and transcendence through a thorough understanding of life and the world.
The first two sentences of this poem depict a picture of tourists watching the scenery during the day. Although it is written as "looking at the scenery", the pen and ink do not splash on the description of the scenery, but inadvertently reveal the bridges, buildings, tourists, and the running water, cruise ships and shore willows that can be inferred from it ... It is like a faint ink painting, leaving the vague background looming to imagination, and the focus of the picture falls on the people watching the scenery on the bridge and upstairs, or rather on it.
And "you" who is "standing on the bridge and watching the scenery" is obviously ecstatic in the face of the beautiful scenery in front of him. From the side comparison, it can be seen that he did not notice that "the person watching the scenery is watching you upstairs". What is intriguing is that the upstairs man who came for "seeing the scenery" boarded the tall building, but what he saw in his eyes was not the scenery, but the "you" who stood on the bridge to see the scenery. I don't know why people upstairs look at "you" for the scenery, and what deeply fascinated those eyes and touched that heart. Nais Naipin's "expression" can be described as romantic and implicit, which makes the originally quiet and pleasant picture suddenly rippling and swaying in Chun Qing, evoking many interesting drama scenes. You who are indifferent to the scenery must be a handsome guy who travels around the world, and the person who loves people upstairs must be a lonely and affectionate woman who longs for love and is hard to find a bosom friend. She is addicted to the scenery and naive, but she doesn't know how many emotions her every move has disturbed. One is affectionate and pitiful, with a loving heart and a blind eye. It's really "falling flowers are intentional, running water is ruthless", and there are many such casual encounters on the journey of life, which are love at first sight, fleeting and unforgettable. It is in these two short lines that the poet left behind an indescribable feeling like a spark of calcium carbide and an eternal portrayal of an indescribable scene, which evoked memories and aroused people's reverie.
The poet's "broken chapter" in just four lines fully expresses the inner feelings of the characters, and at the same time contains profound philosophical symbolic significance.
Mr. Li Jianwu once thought that this poem "contains infinite sadness and focuses on the word' decoration'", while the poet himself clearly pointed out that "I also mean focusing on' relative'". Regarding the difference between himself and the poet, Mr. Li Jianwu added: "My explanation may not make me agree with the author's confession. The author's confession may not hurt my explanation. It is not so much a conflict as a complementary beauty. " (Li Jianwu's answer to the author of Fish Collection) In fact, both the "relativity" of the poet and the "decoration" of each other pointed out by Li Jianwu are the dissolution of "certainty". "You stand on the bridge and watch the scenery", and the "you" here undoubtedly looks at the "scenery" from a subjective point of view, which has certain certainty or subjectivity; In the poem "The Bright Moon Decorates Your Window", the "bright moon" exists for you or for you, and the "you" here is undoubtedly definite or subjective. Obviously, the first sentence of the two paragraphs in the poem shows a certain "happiness". The second sentence of each section is the analysis of "certainty". The certainty and subjectivity you gained in the first sentence were changed into the sadness of relativity by the relativity and objectification of these two poems. All these fall into the "gaze" of the poet, and the poem is written in the second person of "you", which makes everything in front fall into another "relative". From this poem, we can undoubtedly appreciate the complex feelings of sadness, sentimentality, wandering, emptiness and sadness. On the other hand, we can also learn from this poem that everything in the universe contains philosophical thinking that is closely related to real life and interdependent, thus gaining some comfort in life ... The short four-line poem has brought extremely rich feelings and enlightenment.
In art, this poem mainly expresses abstract and complex thoughts and artistic conception, but the poet does not make direct statements and lyricism, but indirectly expresses the poem through the presentation of objective images and images. Poetry has a prominent sense of picture and space, profound artistic conception, and suggestibility of western poetry, which makes poetry implicit and deep and quite emotional.
Famous comments
Li Jianwu, a modern literary critic: Our poet's interpretation of life is all decoration. (drunken flower collection)
Lu Ye, a professor at the College of Literature of Yangzhou University, said: Broken Chapters attracts people's attention precisely because it provides a seemingly ordinary picture of life. Once in the realm of poetry, readers can fully experience and taste their own "meaning". The word "decoration" describes "the sorrow of life" and reveals the hypocrisy of the phenomenon of "mutual decoration". The "relative existence" explained by the poet himself also has its own reasons. Because in society, between people, between this part of people and that part of people, it is indeed a relative existence. They seem to have nothing to do with each other, but they are interdependent. Those who look at the scenery are also regarded as scenery, which often appears in life. The poet's knowledge and understanding of the relationship between the wholeness and individuality of life is profound. (Appreciation of China's Modern Famous Poems)
Liu Molin, Associate Professor of School of Literature and Media, Guangdong Normal University of Technology: The so-called "one flower and one world", a short poem with two lines and four lines, is unique in the whole modern new poetry circle. The whole poem blends a relative world into a beautiful square landscape, with bridges and moons, dreams and harmony. Readers will have different experiences and echoes when reading this poem in different situations and different moods, which is the great charm brought by the "uncertainty" of poetry interpretation.
