In 20 16, Gao released his new song "Life is not just in front of us" with this sentence, which became the object of hot discussion on the Internet.
What ordinary people call "getting along" is nothing more than their own reality. And "poetry and distance", that is the ideal life. In fact, real life is inevitably repetitive, monotonous or full of pressure. Although the imagination is wonderful and tempting, if you want to land, you still have to return to your daily life.
Beautiful things always make people yearn for, just like poems and distant fields, but more like castles in the air, which makes people feel excited, but can't be eaten as food. Many times, life is just the present, just a chicken feather; For most people, only when they really have a hard time can they appreciate the true value of poetry and distance.
In fact, the root of this sentence comes from the theory of the German thinker Heidegger, who quoted the poem of the German poet Holdrin as saying: "... people live poetically ...". Put forward the poetic dwelling place of human beings, and realize that with the development of science, industrial civilization will increasingly alienate people. In order to avoid being alienated, he appealed to people to find their way home. thank you
This is as described by Holderlin in Vision: "When a person's living life leads to a distant place, there, in that distant place, the grapes are shining. Summer is also an empty field, and the forest appears in a profound image. Nature is full of images of time. Nature stands still, and time flies. It all comes from perfection. As a result, the high-altitude light shines on humans, just like flowers next to trees. " It is not difficult to understand that living poetically means living poetically, and poetry comes from understanding and grasping life, especially inner peace and harmony, yearning and pursuit of poetic life.
In any case, only when we know poetry can we experience our non-poetic dwelling and why we live without poetry. Only by continuously paying attention to poetry can we expect whether and when the turning point of non-poetic habitation will appear here. Only when we take poetry seriously can we prove to ourselves how and to what extent we can contribute to this turning point ... "
In short, the so-called dwelling refers to people's living conditions, the so-called poetry refers to the liberation and freedom of the soul through poetry, and poetic dwelling is to find people's spiritual home.
The "poetic dwelling" advocated by Holderlin and Heidegger aims to resist the disappearance of individuality and the rigidity and fragmentation of life brought about by science and technology through the artistry and poeticization of life.

To sum up, this is a state of existence, and there is no shortcut. Only by not forgetting one's active mind, maintaining the healthy development of one's spiritual world and not falling into the darkness of the material world.
