Today, the first wave of wormwood in risshun.
When the spring is cold and steep, it is advisable to look at the scenery from the window.
window
Qian Zhongshu
It's spring again, and the windows can always be open. Spring came in through the window, and the man could not sit still in the house, so he went out through the door. But the spring outside the house is too cheap! Everywhere there was sunlight, not as bright as it was through the darkness of the house; everywhere there was a lazy wind that basked the sun, not as angry as stirring up the dullness of the house. Even bird language, it seems trivial and thin, and it needs the silence in the house to be set off. We therefore understand that spring should be embedded in the window to see, as if the painting was framed.
At the same time, we realize that doors and windows have different meanings. Of course, doors are made to get people in and out. However, windows are sometimes used for import and export, such as thieves or lovers in novels who like to climb windows. So the fundamental difference between a window and a door is not just whether anyone comes in or out.
If we look at the spring festival, we might as well say this: with the door, we can go out; with the window, we don't have to go out. The window opens the barrier between nature and man, brings in the wind and the sun, and closes part of the spring in the house, so that we can sit and enjoy it, without having to look outside. Ancient poets like Tao Yuanming were quite familiar with this spirit of the window.
There are two ways in the "Return to the Word": "Leaning on the south window to be proud, and judging the ease of the knee." "Doesn't that mean that as long as there is a window to overlook, even the small house can live?" He also said: "Xia Yue is idle, lying high under the north window, the breeze is blowing, and he calls himself the Emperor Xi." This means that as long as the window is ventilated, the small house can become an Elysium; although he is a Chaisang person, there is Lushan Mountain nearby, and there is no need to go up to escape the heat." Therefore, the door allows us to pursue, expresses desire, and the window allows us to occupy, expresses enjoyment.
This distinction applies not only to the views of those who live in the house, but also to those who come outside the house. An outsider, knocking on the door to invite in, asking, asking, he is at most a guest, everything has to wait for the host to decide. On the other hand, a person who comes in through the window, whether it is stealing or stealing, has long been determined to be a temporary master for you, and cannot take care of your welcome and refusal. Musset has a witty saying in the poem "What Dreams a Girl Makes" that the father opens the door and invites in the material husband (matérielépoux), but the ideal lover (idéal) always comes in and out of the window. In other words, the one who came in through the front door was only the son-in-law in form, although the father-in-law was still waiting to win the favor of the lady herself; if he came in through the back window, it was the real lover of the girls who had completely entrusted their soul and body. When you enter the front door, you must first be notified by the concierge, and then you have to wait for the owner to appear, and you have to say a few words of greeting before you can explain your intentions, which is both thought-provoking and time-consuming, which is like coming in through the back window? It seems that the shortcut to learning cares about the introduction behind the book, and if you look at it from the previous text, it is far away. Of course, this is only the difference under the normal state of society, in the period of perversion such as war, the house itself cannot be saved, and what doors and windows are also talked about!
All the houses in the world have doors, and we can still see the houses without windows. This indicates that the window represents a higher stage of human evolution than the door. The door is the need of the occupants of the house, the window is more or less a luxury, the original intention of the house, only like the bird cave, ready for people to come back for the night, close the door, is considered protection. But the windows on the walls, the light and the air, so that we do not have to go outdoors during the day, and we can live with the doors closed. The house thus adds meaning to life, not only a place to shelter from the wind and rain, but also a place for decorations, hanging calligraphy and paintings, which is a field for us to think, work, play, and perform the tragicomedy of life from morning to night.
The door is the entrance and exit of people, and the window can be said to be the import and export of the sky. The house was artificially made to escape the threat of nature, and in the four stacks of walls and a roof, the window lured a corner of the sky in, tamed it, and gave it to people to use, just as we gathered wild horses and turned them into domestic animals. From then on we can come into contact with nature in the house, without having to look for light, change the air, and the light and the air will come to us. Therefore, man's victory over nature, the window is also a. However, this kind of victory, like the victory of women over men, seems to be a concession on the surface - people open windows to let the wind and daylight come in and occupy, and who knows who comes to occupy this place will occupy this place! We just said that the door is needed, and the need is not done by man. For example, if you are hungry, you must eat, and when you are thirsty, you must drink. So, when someone knocks on the door, you always have to drive, maybe Ibsen said that more young people than your next generation want to rush in, maybe like De Quincy said after the murder, the broad-time world wants to invade the world of darkness and sin, maybe the prodigal son comes home, maybe someone borrows (and maybe it is a debt collection), the more you don't know, the more you are afraid to open, the more you want to know, the more you want to open. Even the sound of the daily postman knocking on the door makes you suspicious, because you don't know and want to know what news he brings. The door switch is not yours. But the window, you get up early in the morning, just pull the curtain over the side, you know that there is something outside the window greeting you, is the snow, is the fog, is it rain, or the good sun, decide whether to open the window or not. As mentioned above, windows are luxury goods, and luxury goods are originally increased or decreased according to people's consideration of the situation.
I often think that windows can count as the eyes of a house. Liu Xi translated the name and said: "Window, Congye; in the inside and outside, for the wisdom also." He begins with Gottfried Keller's Abendlied: "The pupils are like a small window (Fensterlein), and the scenery is over." "Again, only half said. The eyes are the windows of the soul, we see the outside world, but also let people see our hearts; the eyes often follow the heart, so Mencius believes that the lover is not good than the eyes, and the lover in the Maeterlink play does not close his eyes when kissing, and can see how many kisses the other party has to rise from the heart to the mouth. When we talk to the man with the black glasses, we always feel that we can't grasp his intentions, as if he is facing a false mask for this purpose. According to Eckermann's conversation on April 5, 1830, Goethe hated all the people who wore glasses, saying that they could see the wrinkles on his face, but the glass he gave them was dazzling and could not see their state of mind. The window allows people inside to see out, and at the same time, people from outside may see in, so people living in lively places should use curtains to make a guarantee for their private lives. At night, as long as you look at whether there is light in the window, you can roughly guess whether the owner is at home, and you don't have to open the door and ask again, as if you don't wait for someone to open your mouth, and you can see his thoughts from your eyes. The effect of closing the window is equal to closing the eyes. There are many scenes between heaven and earth that can only be seen after closing one's eyes, such as dreams. If the human voice outside the window is too noisy, close the window so that the soul is free to explore and meditate quietly. Sometimes, closing the window and closing your eyes are also related, you feel that the world outside the window is not enough, and it does not give you any satisfaction, you want to go back to your hometown, you want to see relatives and friends who are separated from you, you only sleep, close your eyes and look for it in your dreams, so you get up and close the window first. Because it is only spring, it is still cold, and the windows cannot be closed all day and all night.
