Although this poem has only four words, it describes the interdependence and interaction between people in the world: the differences and divisions of all things are relative and temporary, the connection is internal and eternal, and the soul of this connection is people.
People often think that they are different because of their age, status, class and region, and they live in an isolated world. In fact, people are always linked by something in common. You have me and I have you, but sometimes people don't realize this connection. When you talk about others, you are praised or belittled by others. Others may make your life better, and you can also give others the gospel.
This poem is only the poet's momentary "artistic conception" and feelings, but its connotation is infinitely rich, implying the complexity of personnel relations.
The original text out of context
You stand on the bridge and watch the scenery, and the people watching the scenery look at you upstairs. The bright moon decorated your window, and you decorated other people's dreams.
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.
This poem is implicit and meaningful, but the language is extremely simple and simple. Writing philosophy and life wisdom that everyone can understand but can't tell in words that everyone can understand reflects the poet's aesthetic attitude and pursuit of deliberately seeking work.

When you look at the scenery from the bridge,
Tourists are watching you from the balcony.
The bright moon adorns your window,
When you decorate other people's dreams.
