This little poem with only four lines can be regarded as one of Bian's representative works, and its title is Broken Chapter. This was originally four lines in one of his long poems, but because he was not satisfied, he deleted other lines and kept only these four lines, which was really wonderful.
This poem is fresh and simple, contains philosophy, and sharp thoughts are hidden between the lines, which is a typical obscurity. "You stand on the bridge and watch the scenery, and the people watching the scenery are watching you upstairs;" Did you see a shot in front of you: you were standing by the bridge, staring at the beautiful scenery in the distance, and the people watching the scenery upstairs also included you in the scenery outside the window. When you are intoxicated with the scenery, you don't know that you have become someone else's scenery.
It is with such a concrete image that the author expresses an abstract philosophy. In fact, everyone has a similar position in life. Things are intrinsically related to me, me and him, and he and you. Everyone does not exist independently. We are influenced by others, and we also influence others, just as people who look at the scenery will become scenery. Who knows if the person watching the scenery upstairs will become another person watching the scenery?
"The bright moon decorated your window, and you decorated other people's dreams." Two "ornaments" are used in the two sentences, highlighting the changes until "you". When you look at the bright moon by the window and fall asleep with a sweet smile, you won't know. Maybe a stranger dreamed of you in his dream, and you decorated his dream. This section can be regarded as independent from the previous section, but they express the same truth. Through the transformation and contrast of positions and two poetic pictures, the inextricable relationship between man and nature and between people is revealed.

You decorated other people's dreams.

Appreciation out of context:
In the first section of the poem, realistic brushwork and songs convey the deep affection of the hidden people on the bridge to the scenery and the infinite goodwill of the people upstairs to the people on the bridge, which constitutes a dramatic scene of "falling flowers intentionally, running water ruthlessly". But affection is always annoyed by ruthlessness. Can people who are indifferent to the scenery on the bridge repay those who love them 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.
Time moved to the moonlit night. The people on the bridge and upstairs returned to the rest place with their own satisfaction and deficiency. But who would have thought that in this silence, people's emotional investment during the day was unconsciously rewarded.
"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? From your window decorated with bright moon, we can see how beautiful and charming moonlight will be displayed in the eyes of people on the bridge at this moment! Bridges, water, buildings, boats, willows ... everything outside the window is dissolved in this elegant, soft, misty and ethereal moonlight, which is so mysterious, so wonderful, so sweet and so comfortable compared with everything under the bright sun during the day.
Facing the beautiful scenery under the moonlight, how can people believe that the natural scenery is indifferent and incomprehensible? How can we not arouse people's strong love for nature? If you love nature, nature will love you-this is the meaning of poetry!
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 good intentions 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.
