People who look at the scenery look at you on the bridge.
The bright moon decorated your window,
You decorated other people's dreams.
This is probably the most famous poem by the poet Bian. Of course, the poet enthusiastically pursued Ms. Zhang Chonghe, but unfortunately, Ms. Chonghe finally ran to the other side of the ocean, so the poet never forgot it all his life.
In fact, Zhang Chonghe is Ms. Zhang Zhaohe's sister, and Zhang Zhaohe is Mr. Shen Congwen's lover. When Mr. Shen Congwen fell in love with his student, Miss Zhang Zhaohe, love letters kept coming every day. Miss Zhang Zhaohe came to Hu Shi, President of Ren Qinghua, with many love letters. Unexpectedly, Mr. Hu Shi told her that if you don't bother you with love letters like him, you will be finished marrying him. Finally, Zhang Zhaohe married Shen Congwen.
The same famous writer, the same pursuit, has different endings, which is the charm of love.

Ji Xia 'an fell in love with a female student in her class when she was teaching in The National SouthWest Associated University. However, a person's inner enthusiasm rarely translates into actual words and deeds. Occasionally, he feels his meaning is profound, but the other party probably doesn't know it. The result naturally has no result. Diary of Ji Xia 'an is a famous work in Taiwan Province Province, which has been reprinted many times. I have a copy of the eighth edition of Time Culture Publishing Company (1980). This period of works by family members of famous artists from generation to generation cannot help but make readers feel a lot.
At that time, Ann had many young colleagues, such as Bian and Qian, and Bian's love troubles were deeper than his, so he sometimes compared himself with Bian, as if suffering was tolerable. Love is not an easy thing, not just for himself, which can hardly be regarded as a comfort. 1946 65438+ 10/2 diary: Qian Xuesi "criticized Bian for wanting to get married casually after failing in love, and thought it was a great shame to give up his ideal and covet warmth." Ji Xia 'an defended Bian in his diary-actually for himself: "But a talented and educated person like Bian will give up his ideal, which shows that it is difficult to pursue."
The object that Bian loved was. 1933, Bian Zhi Lin was 23 years old. She graduated from the English Department of Peking University in the summer and met Zhang Chonghe who came to study in the Chinese Department of Peking University in the autumn. Because, Bian's poetry creation has also undergone major changes. Mr Wen Yiduo once boasted to his face that he didn't write love poems among young people. He himself said that he was always afraid to write about his private life. "Just as I can't express my passion in words in the face of major historical events, the more I touch the inner pain in my private life, the less I want to write poems to express it. In fact, among the gradually expanding personal friends at that time, I did not feel this touch. " "But then, in the early autumn of 1933, an exception came." -He said frankly in the preface of Chronicle of the Carved Insects-"Ordinary children have unusual first acquaintance in communication, and obviously have something in common with each other. Because of my reserve, because of the free and easy of the other party, it seems that this fleeting point is worth cherishing and can only be allowed to disappear. Unexpectedly, after more than three years, we are destined to meet again, only to find that this is a seed that has been cultivated unintentionally or intentionally, suddenly sprouting and even sprouting. I began to dream well and feel the joys and sorrows in this respect in private. There is a vague feeling that there is no hope, and there is a feeling that it will still not blossom and bear fruit. It seems that as a paw of slush, it left a memorial and wrote a poem like untitled. " But things didn't end until the untitled poem period. "After this private life, there are still years of long dreams." To put it more seriously, this is actually an unforgettable experience and memory in one's life. There are also some emotional details, such as Untitled III—
Don't forget to step on the door carefully.
Don't let the dust on the road dirty your room.
To show your gratitude, you must gently cover it with ink-permeable paper.
Let tears not defile your letter to me.
There are sad marks on the door recommendation and ink-permeable paper.
I understand that the sea has washed away the fireworks of the world.
A white handkerchief can wrap at least some coral,
But you love it more, waving it behind the green flag on the platform.
Ms Maggie Cheung is an expert on Bian Zhilin. The Selected Works of China Modern Writers Bian compiled by her is extremely concise with a brief chronology of Bian. Many things can only be omitted, but she took great care to write down "small" information about Zhang Chonghe, such as the first knowledge of 1933; For example, in June of 5438+0936, he returned to his hometown in Haimen, Jiangsu Province to finish his mother's funeral and "left home to visit Zhang Chonghe in Suzhou"; For example, 1937, "5 untitled poems were intercropped between March and May", and 18 poems written this year in Hangzhou, together with the previous two years, were compiled into a decorative collection, which was dedicated to Zhang Chonghe and copied by hand. It was originally intended to be published by Dai Wangshu's New Poetry Society, but failed, and was later included in Ten Years of Poetry. " For example, 1943 "I went to Chongqing to see Zhang Chonghe in winter vacation" was the first time I saw him 10. Although the chronology is compiled, these things must be said by the side, and I am willing to solemnly compile it into the chronology.
1955, Bian 45 years old, 10+0 years and got married.

According to Zhang Chonghe's second sister Zhang Yunhe, "Sisi likes Little Red Riding Hood. When she was studying at Peking University, her classmates called her Little Red Riding Hood. Little red riding hood is very naughty. Once she went to the photo studio and took a strange photo with her head tilted and one eye closed. She took this photo to the swimming pool of Soochow University to apply for a swimming permit. The applicant said, how about this photo? Unqualified. She pretended to be very strange and said,' Why is it unqualified? You want a two-inch bust, right? "("The Story of Lao Zhang's Family ") Zhang Chonghe likes men's wear, which is like the third sister Zhang Zhaohe. She was particularly good at calligraphy and Kunqu opera, and later taught in American universities.
Zhang Chonghe still remembers an interesting story that Shen Congwen went to Suzhou for the second time in the winter vacation of 1933 in order to pursue his third sister. After dinner, Zhang and his brother listened to his story around the charcoal fire. Shen Congwen sometimes dances and can't stop the car. "But we primary and middle school students are used to going to bed early. In a daze, I suddenly heard a man shout,' fourth sister, fourth sister!' Because there have been no brothers among my compatriots, I woke up to see that it was my second visit and I was very unhappy. How dare you call me fourth sister! It's still early at this time, and the third sister is already very sleepy. The younger brothers barely hold their bodies and listen with their eyes open, embarrassed to walk away. There is really a realm of' I am drunk and want to sleep'. "("three brother-in-law Shen ")
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Zhang Chonghe, Shen Congwen and Zhang Zhaohe gathered in Kunming. Zhang Chonghe's job is to write textbooks full-time, and Yang Zhensheng is in charge. Shen Congwen edited and selected novels, Zhu Ziqing selected essays, and Zhang Chonghe selected and annotated Sanqu. 1947, Zhang Chonghe and the third sister's family reunited in Beiping. The following year, an American boy met Shen Congwen, who taught at Peking University, and made friends with two Shenyang boys, saying that learning Chinese was good. Shen Congwen soon found that the young man who often went home was more interested in Zhang Chonghe than in him, so he stopped talking to him, so he called Zhang Chonghe and left them alone. Even the children saw these signs. 1948165438+1October19, this American named Hans Hermannt Frankel and Zhang Chonghe held a wedding combining Chinese and western, and left Beiping for the United States one month later, and lived happily ever after.
Bian is an extremely serious person, and his "I" always seems to be in a state of more rigorous gaze, containment, monitoring and reflection than ordinary people, which makes some factors in his character and temperament stand out, such as being submerged, introverted, thoughtful, reserved, worried and hesitant, which all contribute to his poetry creation. This is an organization with a distance. On the other hand, it makes him maintain a more rational, "objective" and thoughtful narrative of his poetry writing than ordinary writers, and also becomes a distant organization.
Based on this perspective, Bian's self-reported long article "The Chronicle of the Carved Insects" has reason to be regarded as a highly reliable "confession" that provides a lot of important information. He said: "People are not wooden stones. People who write poems can be said to be' emotional animals'. I write poetry. I always write lyrics. I always tend to restrain myself when I can't control myself, as if I meant to be a' cold-blooded animal'. The specification is not big, but I like elutriation, refining, expecting crystallization and sublimation. Of course, I can only produce some gadgets. " This tendency and practice of being harsh on oneself is not only caused by personality and temperament factors. Due to the discussion of poetics and poetic art, we will naturally notice the ancient and European poetic traditions and trends he chose and influenced. For a poet who consciously pursues and gradually produces the corresponding literary ability, in order to digest the influence and get rid of it, he will try to turn "archaization" and "Europeanization" into "fossils" and "fossilization".
Generally speaking, writing poetry is one thing, and expressing feelings in life is another. But what if you combine poetry with life and express your feelings with poetry?
The complexity of Bian's poetic thought and style is especially reflected in his works from 1933 to 1937 before the Anti-Japanese War. The creation of this period represents the highest achievement of his poetry creation, which can convey the subtle, sensitive and complicated experiences, thoughts and feelings of modern people with fine and complicated organization and extended connotation. One of the reasons why these poems are enduring is that Bian avoids direct expression. His poems, like the changes of people, things and things often written in his poems, play the role of elutriation and precipitation. If you interpret poetry with poetry, you might as well pay attention to such a poem: "I understand that the sea washes away the fireworks on earth" ("Untitled"); "'water, water!' Meditating people sigh/the feelings of the ancients are like running water,/and layers of sadness are piled up. "(Water Rock); He seems to believe in the power of time, and "time will kill patience!" " "He always tends to think that" lingering tears "hanging in the" review "are more expressive (white snail shells).
In this way, the feelings he expressed in his poems are particularly tortuous. For example, imagine such a daily scene in Untitled 4: it is probably an ordinary, natural and direct reaction to see the jewelry on the chest of the beloved and want to know where it came from; However, in Bian's poems, that person had to study the history of material and cultural exchanges. From the standpoint of life rather than poetry, this turning point is so great that even people don't understand why. It's really painstaking to add two sentences in front-
Mud across the river on your beam,
Spring in the courtyard next door is picked up in your cup,
Overseas luxury goods come to your chest:
I want to study traffic history.
However, if you understand the good intentions, I am afraid that nine times out of ten, there is nothing to say. What makes people speechless is this "color emptiness consciousness": because the world accommodates the footsteps of lovers, it is empty. This is an untitled five-
Thank you for coming.
The inner eye is useful,
Because it's empty,
Because you can hairpin a little flower.
I suddenly realized that in the hairpin flower
The world is empty,
Because it is useful,
Because it adapts to your steps.
If it weren't for personal special habits, consciousness and poetic thinking, how could you write "fish fossils" (a fish or a woman said:)-
I want the shape of your arm,
I tend to blend in with the lines of water.
You really love me like a mirror.
You and I are far apart, but we have fish fossils.
According to the explanation of fossil fish postscript, the first line of the poem uses two sentences of p.eluard: "She has the shape of my palm,/She has the color of my eyes." Moreover, it is similar to Sima Qian's meaning of "women are pleasing to themselves"; The scene contained in the second line, from the basin water to see the rain flower stone, the water pattern dissolves, and the pattern dissolves, which reminds people of paul valery's bath; The image of "mirror" in the third line seems to be projected together with "Your Venetian Mirror" in the thriller of Winter by Malamei, who described it as "as deep as a cold spring, surrounded by gilded shores; What's in it? Ah, I believe that more than one woman must have washed her beautiful sins in this water; Maybe I can see a naked illusion if I watch it for a while. " Finally, when the fish turns to stone, the fish is not the original fish, and the stone is not the original stone. This is also called "life is easy". Grapes and apples die of cause and effect, but live of wine. But the poet asked, "Does' you' in the poem represent a stone? On her behalf? Him? It seems to be more than that. What else is there? Let me think about it. I don't want to. That's enough. "
