What is poetry and distance?

Life is not just the present, but also poetry and distance. Everyone is familiar with this sentence of Gao, which awakens many young people's yearning and pursuit for poetry and distance. However, have you ever wondered where the poems in life and the distance are? It's far away. Anything else?

What is poetry and distance? When many people talk about poetry and distant words, the first words that come to mind are grassland, pastoral, carefree life and so on. Let's think about it from another angle. Is the life we yearn for very similar to our life in rural and grassland areas? It is true that many urbanites envy such a life, but for people in these areas, they want to go out, that is, to leave the so-called poetry and distance. Just like a besieged city, people in the city want to go out and people outside the city want to come in.

The so-called poetry and distance are actually relative. No matter how you look at it and yearn for it, the results are mostly the same. Our life is full of articles like "Be yourself, travel and leave". When we read these articles, it is nothing but to enhance our yearning for them and our loss of present life. Few people can really put down their present life and work to pursue so-called poetry and distance. We can't let go. Some people are running around now just to live a real life in the future, but when? Busy people are busy all their lives, and that goal is just the reason we tell ourselves to stick to when we are busy. This is why we understand Haizi's poem "There is nothing in the distance except the distance".

So, poetry and distance don't exist? No, poetry and distance are meaningless and illegal without life. Life is like a swamp. When we sink in, we always pay attention to what we sink in and ignore what we don't sink in. Perseverance and falling into it will only make you anxious, afraid and struggling, and will only accelerate your falling into it. Only poems based on life and distance are meaningful. For us, distance should be the distance of the soul, not the distance.

I have been puzzled for a long time about poetry and distance in life. You will find that life is too fragile compared with the distant peace. Gao Zeng said: "If you struggle with poetry and distance, you will never win. If there are 10,000 kinds of needs, there is only one kind of happiness between poetry and distance. " My poetic and distant doubts about life were later answered in a letter written by Tang Yingfeng. "It is no longer the imaginary distance, but I really understand what distance is."
