What do you mean, a poem that can draw is still a gold chip in your eyes?

"Poems that can be painted are still gold chips in the eyes", which means that if poems can be painted, there will still be obstacles in the eyes, not ethereal good poems.

Zhang Dai said: "Poetry is wonderful only if it is ethereal. Poetry that can be painted is still a piece of gold in the eyes."

Poetry is good if it is ethereal. Poetry that can be painted still has "golden chips" in its eyes, that is, if poetry can be painted, it is still an eyesore, not an ethereal good poem.

This sentence mainly emphasizes that poetry should have ethereal artistic conception and painting should be tangible.

Historical achievements

Zhang Dai is fond of beautiful mountains and rivers by nature, and he is "affectionate". In his works, mountains and rivers often become an understanding object of philosophical aesthetics. Zhang Dai's basic life pursuit of "spontaneity" and "open-mindedness" has never changed, no matter whether he is a successful teenager or a failure in cooking. Until his later years, he was still full of infinite yearning for freedom.
