The superficial meaning can be understood as: You who look at the scenery are not the scenery in other people's eyes; there is a bright moon in your dream, and you are in other people's dreams!
"You stand on the bridge and look at the scenery." The relationship between you and the "landscape" is at opposite ends of each other, but the characters and scenery have quietly changed in the relationship and exchange, because "People watching the scenery are watching you upstairs", and you become the "scenery" again.
The "scenery" you saw before is no longer "scenery" among the people who pay attention to you. "The bright moon decorates your window, and you decorate other people's dreams."
At this time, "you" who had never thought of admiring the scenery upstairs subconsciously came to the window to appreciate the bright moon. The clear light thousands of miles away has inadvertently become a "landscape" that haunts other people's dreams. In other people's dreams, "you" is their bright moon. The meaning of the first two sentences is obtained from the continuous reciprocation. Further enrichment and sublimation form an infinitely rich and diverse open system.
"You", "the people upstairs", countless "yous" and countless "people upstairs" *** together make up this world. "You" are living your own life, "looking at the scenery on the bridge"; the "people upstairs" are also living their own lives, "looking at you upstairs".
By chance or necessity, you meet, and then you either leave or get to know each other, each doing your own thing, holding your own dreams, and creating this beautiful world together. Or they complement each other, depend on each other, and decorate each other's "windows" and "dreams".
This poem comes from "Broken Chapter". The original poem is: You are watching the scenery on the bridge, and the people watching the scenery are watching you upstairs; the bright moon decorates your windows, and you decorate other people's dreams.

Appreciation of "Broken Chapter"
Although "Broken Chapter" only has four sentences, it writes about the interdependence and interaction of people and things in the world. relationship.
The distinctions and divisions of all things are relative and temporary, while the connections are intrinsic and eternal. And the soul of this connection is human beings.
People often think that they are different due to differences in age, status, class and region, and that they live in an isolated world. In fact, people are always different because of some things that are the same. And connected together, there is me in you, and you in me, but sometimes people don't realize this connection.
When you talk about others, whether it is praise or disparagement, you yourself are also praised or disparaged by others. Others may make your life beautiful, and you can also bring good news to others. This poem is just the poet's "artistic conception" and thoughts in a moment, but its connotation is infinitely rich, implying the complex relationship between people and events.
