Extended information:
"Fragmented Chapter" is the representative work of the "Crescent School" poet Bian Zhilin. This is a section of a long poem extracted by the author. The work is subtle and profound, but the language is extremely simple and plain, and contains profound philosophy of life.
"Broken Chapter" was written in October 1935. It is an exquisite philosophical poem. According to the author Ziyun, these four lines were originally in a long poem, but he was satisfied with these four lines in the whole poem, so he extracted them into an independent chapter, hence the title.
Most of Bian Zhilin's early poems expressed dissatisfaction with reality and depression at not being able to find a way out. His poetic imagination is subtle, his writing and ink are simple, and he is relatively obscure and difficult to store. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, his poetic style became open and clear. He is recognized as a representative poet of the Crescent School, an important poetry school in the New Culture Movement.
