Bian's "Out of Chapter"
You stand on the bridge and watch the scenery.
The landscape observer is watching you upstairs.
The bright moon decorated your window,
You decorated other people's dreams.
Appreciation of bian's broken chapters
Personally, I like Bian's poems, the philosophy of life contained in her poems, the beautiful pictures and artistic conception created in her poems, and the deep expectations hidden in her poems. After reading his poems and articles, it seems that he is a genius from ancient times, bathed in the rain and dew of European culture, and came to modern China, where he plucked the strings of the language and meter of vernacular poetry with his gifted hands and issued a familiar and extraordinary rhyme. Broken chapter is the most widely known work in Bian's poems, and it is also a poem that causes great discussion and controversy. The poem "Broken Chapter" is selected from Fish Collection and written in 1935 10. According to the poet himself, this poem was only four sentences in a poem at first, because only these four sentences were preserved when the poet was satisfied and became a poem of his own. Unexpectedly, this poem has become the most widely circulated and representative poem of the poet, and a famous short poem with short words, rich meanings and obscure meanings in the history of modern literature in China, which is loved by many people. The poem goes like this: you stand on the bridge and watch the scenery. The scenery watcher is watching you upstairs. The bright moon decorated your window, and you decorated other people's dreams.
The concise four sentences describe four scenes, different artistic conception and different artistic conception, which bring readers different moods, so different people read the chapters out of context, taste different charm and have different feelings.
Li Jianwu, a scholar and translator, thinks that this poem is a fuss about the word "decoration". He believes that "the surface of poetry is indifferent, but there is endless' sadness' buried in the darkness. This poem mainly implies that life is only a mutual decoration, including helpless sadness. Bian Zhilin himself disagreed. He said, "This is a lyric poem ..... a moment of artistic conception, written with a feeling of surpassing but cherishing. 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 decorate 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. "From this reply, it seems that the poet's main intention is to express the relative relationship between people and things intentionally or unintentionally. When we read "Broken Chapters" carefully, we can also appreciate the profound philosophy contained in it: people can look at the scenery, or they can become scenery, and life can decorate each other; The bright moon can decorate your window and other people's dreams. If we understand it from this level, we can find the truth of materialist dialectics contained in this poem. The subject and object in the world are relative, and everything in the universe is interdependent and closely related.
A short poem of 35 words has profound implications in obscurity, showing a philosophical emotional experience and containing a hazy, complicated and incomprehensible situation. The poet's superb performance skills have to be admired.
However, when many scholars, including the poet himself, regard the broken chapter as a philosophical poem with profound implications, when reading this poem from a philosophical point of view, I am attracted by the beautiful picture and hazy artistic conception in the poem, and feel that this poem has infinite meaning, and the clear words have touching lonely feelings and bring me endless reverie. ...
This poem uses something we are familiar with, even in classical poetry: figures, bridges, landscapes, buildings, windows, bright moons, dreams ... but these have been carefully selected and arranged by the author, creating two beautiful artistic conceptions, and at the same time full of affection, which makes the poem have the charm of "painting in the poem" and "painting in the poem" and produces enduring charm among readers.
The last paragraph of the poem, "You stand on the bridge and the people watching the scenery are watching you upstairs", is written as "Watching the scenery", but the pen and ink are not about the description of the scenery, but focus on the people watching the scenery on the bridge and upstairs, and convey the hidden feelings of the people on the bridge and the infinite goodwill of the people upstairs to the bridge in a realistic way, which constitutes a scene of "falling flowers with intention"
"You" are standing on the bridge, looking at the running water under the bridge and thinking about the smooth stone or moss; Smell the wind and miss the crisp birds singing in the depths of the forest. Everything is so natural, so clear, so melodious and so harmonious. Faced with these, "you" are obviously in a state of ecstasy. At this time, the upstairs person who also came for "seeing the scenery" boarded the tall building. What he saw in his eyes was not the scenery, but the "you" who "stood on the bridge to see the scenery". Why are the people upstairs watching you on the bridge? What attracted him upstairs? This "look" of Nais Naipin is really romantic, which makes the originally peaceful and pleasant picture suddenly ripple and sway in Chun Qing, evoking many interesting drama scenes.
Affection is always annoyed by ruthlessness. Can the heartless scenery and the forgetful people on the bridge repay the people who love them deeply with the same kindness? Faced with this common scene in life, it often ends with helpless regret and endless melancholy memories. The poet gives us a wonderful answer full of fantasy and warm feelings with a unique romantic pen in his next poem.
"The bright moon decorated your window", isn't this the warm return of natural scenery to people who are indifferent to the scenery on the bridge during the day? We can imagine how beautiful and charming the moonlit landscape will be in the eyes of people on the bridge at this moment when the bright moon is in the sky! Everything outside the window is dissolved in an elegant, soft, misty and ethereal moonlight weave, which is so mysterious, so wonderful, so sweet and so comfortable compared with everything under the bright sun during the day.
Natural scenery returns the amorous feelings of people on the bridge in its unique way, and in what way should people on the bridge return the goodwill of people upstairs? The imagination of "you decorated other people's dreams" in the poem gives a fascinating answer to this, so that the hopeless secret love of the upstairs people in real life has been comfortably vented.
This "decorated" dream is undoubtedly a deep dissection of the mystery of the soul for its owner. It clearly shows how intense the secret love suppressed by various external factors is. And the person on that bridge can change from the person in his eyes to the person in his dream, isn't it because he is the right person? Although there is no direct confession of love in the poem, this rosy dream shows how warm and clear the love without confession is, and it is even more exciting to reflect on the "appearance" of the day. Isn't it more exciting to think about how much amorous feelings are wrapped in the plain "look"? The fallen petal of the people upstairs finally got a warm and generous return from the flowing water of the people on the bridge, far exceeding the hope value!
When we put aside the profound philosophy in the poem and immerse ourselves in the rich and meaningful feelings and endless drama in the poem, is it attractive to read it as a romantic poem? However, no matter from which point of view, broken chapters will always be so delicate and wise. It always shows meaningful and endless aesthetic connotation, which allows us to appreciate the complex feelings of sadness, sentimentality, vagrancy, emptiness and sadness, and at the same time secretly tells us that real life is a closely related and interdependent philosophical thinking, which gives us some comfort in life! In the starry sky of China's modern poetry, the broken chapter is a petite and brilliant star!
