In poetry
The three images of "you", "me" and "cloud" have certain symbolic significance. Both "you" and "I" live in objective reality.
Both China and China belong to the society, and the "cloud" symbolizes beautiful and simple nature. "When you look at me, it's far away", which is close to the heart.
Far away, "heaven and earth are close at hand": "When looking at the clouds, it is very close", which is "the constant neighbor of heaven".

Extended data
Far and Near is a poem by Gu Cheng, an unknown poet. This poem looks ordinary, but it is intriguing. There are only 24 short words in the whole poem, describing the transformation of "you", "me" and "cloud" as the focus, and using "distance" to explain the different feelings in visual transformation. Poetry is full of philosophical thinking, a kind of thinking about man and nature, and a kind of thinking about man.
In addition to its hazy beauty, this poem is an endless space for daydreaming. The poet's handling of the art of blank space in poetry just endows poetry with far-reaching significance and makes it full of stronger vitality.
Li Chaoquan, associate researcher of Chinese Writers Association, is a century-old classic of poetry. Everything in the world, emotion and psychology are relative. The clouds on the horizon are far away, but they are closer than me standing in front of you. This is a kind of psychological dislocation, a kind of mental diaphragm. I was in front of you, but you turned a blind eye. This is the farthest distance.
Interpretation and appreciation of distance
Explanation:
Although there are only six short sentences in Far and Near, it contains rich connotations of historical reflection. "Far" and "near" are the concepts of physical distance, which exist objectively and have scientific measurement. However, the psychological distance of emotions is different, and "far" can become "near" and "near" can become "far".
The transformation of psychological distance between "you", "me" and "cloud" in the poem reflects the estrangement and vigilance between people, and the poet's yearning and pursuit of harmonious and ideal interpersonal relationship.
Appreciate:
Far and Near is a very abstract poem, and its beauty is hidden in abstract lines. You, Looking Back at Me, Looking Back at the Cloud; I've been watching you. What is the relationship between "you" and "me"? There is no explanation at all, only the subjective psychological feeling of "I" towards "you". In the feeling of "me", "when you look at me".
You seem to be far away from me; When you look at the clouds, you seem to be close to me. This is an illusion. The reason for hallucination is that the poet hides and deliberately leaves a big blank to lure readers to imagine, and this kind of imaginary picture will vary with readers' psychological factors. "Cloud" may symbolize nature. When you look at the clouds.
It shows Chen Bailu's childlike innocence and enthusiasm when he looks at frosted flowers on the glass in Sunrise, but when "you" comes back to reality to see "me", it is replaced by another indifferent expression. So "I" think that "you" when "looking at the clouds" is the real "you". The true face of "you" seems very close, close at hand.
And "you" when "looking at me" seems very strange, and there is a feeling of "separation", such as being in the distance. Strong emotional factors force the deformation of objective physical distance to adapt to and express the truth of subjective psychological feelings. Illusion comes from aesthetic intuitive thinking. The poet realized a profound meaning in his momentary illusion: the harmony between man and nature, and the separation between man and man.
Poetry not only expresses emotion, but also conveys experience. Distance conveys an experience that people often feel in real life. Poetry seems to be purely rational, calm, but tasteful. Among them, there is a secret heat flow: calling for a kind of mutual understanding, mutual trust and harmonious interpersonal relationship. The poem Far and Near is the poet's essential discovery of abnormal life.
When this poem was first published, it was considered as a strange poem that was difficult to understand. According to the rigid reading mode at that time, people have become accustomed to the passive thinking mode, and this poem is really difficult to interpret. Because the distance between you and me can't be far beyond the distance between you and the cloud. But why does the poet feel that "when you look at me, it is far away, and when you look at the clouds, it is very close"? The reason is that the poet wrote about a perverted life.
It is a twisted interpersonal relationship. In this twisted relationship, everything is upside down. The relationship between people who should be close is alienated by the barrier of the soul, which seems so lonely and inaccessible; Because of the alienation of interpersonal relationship, man and nature have narrowed the distance and become very close. Perhaps it is precisely because of the closeness between man and nature.
It further shows people's loneliness; Perhaps it is this loneliness that often reminds Gu Cheng of the kingdom of dreams. But Gu Cheng should know that in this world full of contradictions, the dream kingdom of heaven does not exist.

Writing background far and near;
Gu Cheng saw the inaugural issue of Today posted at the end of the external wall of Xidan Gymnasium 1978, and he was moved by the poem above. 1April, 980, Gu Cheng published several short poems in Today for the first time in the name of "Ancient City". In the same year, in June+10, 5438, Gong Liu published an article entitled "Talking from several poems of Comrade Gu Cheng" in the Star.
I really appreciate Gu Cheng's poems published in Dandelion. Since then, Gu Cheng has made his mark in the field of poetry, and has been mentioned as a representative poet of the obscure poetry school in various articles. At the end of 1980, Poetry Magazine published two poems by Gu Cheng, one of which was Far and Near.
The author introduces:
Gu Cheng, originally from Shanghai, 1956 was born in a poet's home in Beijing on September 24th, and his father was Gu Gong. Gu Cheng was well educated and culturally influenced by his father. Gu Cheng's greatest impression of her sister's hometown is that she doesn't like to join in the fun. When she goes to kindergarten, she often looks at trees and ants by herself. Gu Cheng got the nickname "Story" because he once told his classmates the Romance of the Three Kingdoms.
Although he wants to tell, he still doesn't like being surrounded by a group of people telling stories. Gu Cheng had to ask his sister to be his "one-person audience". Her sister didn't have time to listen. "In desperation, he went into another room and talked to the wall alone across the bed." 1968, that is, 12 dropped out of school to raise pigs at home. Before the Cultural Revolution, I began to write poems, always alone and never playing with others.
Instead, I bowed my head and wrote my inner thoughts. Moreover, the atrocities of the Cultural Revolution shocked his heart and made him more sensitive. 1969, he was sent to a military farm in Guang Bei with his father, Gu Gong, and stayed there for five years, but he didn't like farming life. This kind of working life is far from the glass-like world he imagined, and this distance makes him feel painful.
From 65438 to 0988, Gu Cheng went to New Zealand to teach China classical literature, and was hired as a researcher in the Department of Asian Languages at the University of Auckland. Later, he became a New Zealand citizen. Later, because he didn't like the hustle and bustle of the city and the tedious work, he lived in seclusion in Rapids Island and lived a self-sufficient life of raising chickens in Rapids Island. 1992, Gu Cheng revisited Europe and America and wrote.
Won the creation annuity of German Academic Exchange Center. The following year, he won the German Bohr Creative Fund. This reflects the recognition of Gu Cheng's poetry level and literary contribution by international organizations. 199310108, Gu Cheng had a conflict with his wife Xie Ye in Rapids Island, New Zealand, and chopped his wife Xie Ye with an axe. Xie Ye fell to the ground injured, and this process became a mystery.
Gu Cheng hastily left four suicide notes when he collapsed, and then hanged himself from a tree. Xie Ye died a few hours after his death. Gu Cheng left a large number of poems, essays, calligraphy, paintings and other works. After his death, his father Gu Gong edited and published The Complete Works of Gu Cheng.

Make an appreciative comment
The interpretation of Gu Cheng's "distance" has always been controversial. Many people can't understand it, but those who have made some clues often only focus on one aspect, such as reading it from the perspective of love, philosophy and historical reflection, and the results are often ignored. In my opinion, this is indeed a poem expressing love, but it is not only about love, but also contains the poet's strong spiritual sustenance and pursuit. The following is a concrete interpretation of this poem from the following three aspects:
First, simple and complex special feelings:
Judging from the construction of poetic lines, Gu Cheng's Far and Near has only two sections, six lines and twenty-four words. In such a short space, the word "you" is monopolized by one line and has to be noticed, thus playing a prominent role. "I think" is also exclusive. It echoes the first line of "you" in form, implying that all my inner activities and feelings are centered on "you". "I" read your heart from your movements and wandering eyes.
The last section mainly describes your actions objectively and shows your world, which is a free world. The next section mainly describes the inner feelings of "I" to "you", which is a completely independent and "I" world, which can also be said to be the subjective intervention of "I" to "you" world. The basic functions of poetry are "expressing emotion" and "expressing ambition", so the next section is obviously the focus of poetry. Generally speaking, your actions are revealed through my eyes, which gives you all the actions in this poem. On the one hand, it shows concern for your every move, on the other hand, it also shows respect for your heart. Imagine if I were a complete stranger, could I care so much? Therefore, this is a poem expressing love, full of feelings that are both simple and complicated.
Second, the contradiction between the two distances:
In this poem, far and near are both physical distance and psychological distance. Physical distance can be measured and fixed, while psychological distance is really fuzzy and unmeasurable. It is absurd and contradictory for the author to compare these two different and incomparable distances together. However, this is also the embodiment of poetry, because poetry often starts from a place that goes against common sense. Another manifestation of this contradiction is that the contrast objects "I" and "Cloud" are heterogeneous and unequal. "I" is an objective and real person, and "cloud" is an ethereal and illusory natural thing.
According to common sense, the distance between "you" and "cloud" is of course farther than "I", but "you" makes me feel that the distance between "you" and "I" is farther, which is a balance between physiological feeling and psychological distance. "You" facing "I" is so mysterious that I can't figure it out; In the face of "cloud" and nature, it is really so frank that I feel that there will always be an invisible barrier between "you" and "me", which will hinder the communication between our hearts.
The repeated use of two adverbs in the whole poem shows that your eyes are erratic, like dodge and deliberate; "hen" contains more and more meanings. Repeated use makes the sense of distance difference stronger and clearer, and brings endless aftertaste to the poem.
Third, the eternal conflict between spirit and flesh.
It is a tradition to express poetry with images. In this poem, "cloud" is the central image, the eye of the poem, symbolizing the fantastic life elsewhere. "I" symbolizes real life. However, people are always dissatisfied with reality and think that beauty is always far away. Just like "I" and "cloud" in poetry, they symbolize the conflict between reality and ideal, between this shore and the other shore, and between matter and spirit.
Goethe said that everyone has two spirits: one is to indulge in love and stubbornly cling to this dusty surface, and the other is to leave the dusty surface violently and fly to a lofty spiritual realm. The conflict between soul and body is an eternal motif in poetry, so in this poem, it can be said that "you" is actually looking at some fantasy in your heart, while "I" is looking at your actions, so "I" is looking at "you" and clouds, so "you" is actually some fantasy in my heart, and "you" is like a fantasy that I have never seen before.
To sum up, this poem is a poem about love, but it is not only about love, but also contains the author's spiritual pursuit and yearning, revealing an eternal contradiction and conflict in the world, that is, the conflict and opposition between soul and body.

Make an appreciative comment
Although there are only six short sentences in Far and Near, it contains rich connotations of historical reflection. "Far" and "near" are the concepts of physical distance, which exist objectively and have scientific measurement. However, the psychological distance of emotions is different, and "far" can become "near" and "near" can become "far". The transformation of psychological distance between "you", "me" and "cloud" in the poem reflects the estrangement and vigilance between people, and the poet's yearning and pursuit of harmonious and ideal interpersonal relationship.
The three images of "you", "me" and "cloud" in the poem all have certain symbolic significance. "You" and "I" both live in objective reality and belong to social members, while "Cloud" symbolizes beautiful and simple nature. "If you look at me, you will be far away" means that the ground is near and the heart is far, "if you look at the clouds, you will be near", and "you are close to the sky". The poet's dialectical emotional way of "man is far away from the world" has become the development way of human aesthetic ideal, that is, "from the truth of the object to the truth of the subject, from passive reflection to subjective creation."
This poem seems handy, but in fact it is ingenious, giving people the feeling that it is natural but unnatural, clever but not artificial.
