On the Nationality and Universality of Tagore's Poetry

Novalis said that philosophy is to find a home with eternal homesickness. From Tagore's Chittaglia, we deeply realize this fatal homesickness and fatal search: Tagore himself will always belong to India, and his deep feelings for the Indian nation and people flow between the lines, and there is always a nostalgia for his hometown when reading it.

In the preface to Xie Bingxin's Translation of Poems, he wrote: "Gitanjali means' to offer a poem' in Hindi, and we seem to hear the dense raindrops and smell the rich flowers." In people's impression, Tagore appeared as a great singer and philosopher, just like the protagonist "I" in Chittaglia, dignified and affectionate. "I" is introspective and thoughtful, which in turn reflects Tagore's three different temperament: religious belief, sensitivity to art, shrewdness and judgment on practical work.
