What do you mean, a chapter? What is the image?

Broken Chapter is the representative work of Bian, a poet of the Crescent School. This is a passage from the author's long poem. This work is implicit and meaningful, but the language is extremely simple and plain, which contains profound philosophy of life.

The last part of this poem depicts a picture of tourists looking at the scenery during the day. Although it is written about "seeing the scenery", the pen and ink do not splash on the description of the scenery, but inadvertently reveal the bridges, buildings, tourists, and the running water, cruise ships and Liu 'an that can be inferred from it ... It is like a faint ink painting, leaving a looming and illusory background for readers to imagine.

The focus of the picture falls on the people watching the scenery on the bridge and upstairs, more precisely, on the very interesting and dramatic relationship between the two people watching the scenery.

There are four lines in the poem, and each line can be used as an independent situational image: "You look at the scenery", "Those who look at the scenery look at you", "The bright moon decorated your window" and "You decorated other people's dreams".

In the first section, the first sentence "you" is the subject of the situation and "scenery" is the object of the situation; In the second sentence, the "scenery" that used to be the object suddenly became a part of the subject, while the "you" that used to be the subject changed from the position at the beginning of the first sentence to the end of the second sentence and became the object.

Extended data:

"Broken Chapter" was written in 1935 and 10, which is an exquisite philosophical poem. According to the author, these four lines were originally in a long poem, but only these four lines were used to his satisfaction, so they were taken out to form an independent chapter, from which the title came.

The era of out-of-context creation is inevitably influenced by foreign poems, but Bian intentionally or unintentionally implanted the elements of classical poetry into her poems. That is its intertextuality. Broken chapter depicts an interconnected world through "looking" and "decoration" In the first sentence of the poem, "You are standing on the bridge watching the scenery/people watching the scenery are watching you upstairs", Bian is not limited to his predecessors, but pushes the scenery far away and looks at the world staring at each other with an omniscient and omnipotent third eye.

At the same time, the poet is also examining himself with the technique of "beautiful girls leaving the soul". In this sense, Broken Chapter and Wang Guowei's ci are in the same strain. The first sentence and the second sentence of the poem: "The bright moon decorated your window/you decorated other people's dreams" reflect each other and are seamless. In the long river of China literature, there has long been a story of Zhuangzi's dream butterfly.

Zhuangzi and butterflies decorate each other, which is a complicated and seamless dream, reflecting a beautiful wish of human beings. Broken chapters also create a beautiful dream for people through "watching" and "decorating". After all, people are social animals. While pursuing a free life, they inevitably fall into the eyes and dreams of others.

"Broken Chapter" constructs a rich poetic scene, poetic interest and poetic thoughts through several groups of images, and through the extreme twists and turns of images, it builds a flying bridge between images. Under the coherence of its logical structure, the thin skeleton of the image immediately becomes rich and rich in people's field of vision, and continues to expand and link, eventually forming an infinitely rich, complete and substantial art world.

There are four lines in the poem, and each line can be used as an independent situational image: "You look at the scenery", "Those who look at the scenery look at you", "The bright moon decorated your window" and "You decorated other people's dreams". In the first section, the first sentence "you" is the subject of the situation and "scenery" is the object of the situation; In the second sentence, the "scenery" that used to be the object suddenly became a part of the subject, while the "you" that used to be the subject changed from the position at the beginning of the first sentence to the end of the second sentence and became the object.

The second section is similar to this. This image structure of "ring in the middle, set in the middle" is not only like a true storytelling "Heaven is afraid of clouds, clouds are afraid of wind, wind is afraid of walls, walls are afraid of rats, rats are afraid of cats ..." In China folk story "Rats Marry Women", it is full of relaxed wisdom, full of fun and interest, and because of the series of image chains, four static state of affairs pictures have a visual sense of flow, which makes it.

People have to sincerely marvel at the poet's uncanny workmanship. The main image of a broken chapter is a state of affairs, and there is a continuous flow between the two. Moreover, there are several state images in each state image, and the state images in each state image (such as "scenery" in the first section and "you" in the second section) appear repeatedly in the upper and lower sentences, which makes the whole poem have a running line. Therefore, it is completely different from the former, which makes the whole poem full of vitality and comfort.
