Global Similarities
Translated by Fan Jinghua
One thousand and one nights of the Grand Master’s
Supplemented with numerous screens
The calculable everydayness of his
Has a great variety of patterns
With the same themes or motifs
Weaving a hundred-pieced quilt for the audience
And inside
Always the same way is used
To envelop the fantasy of a youngster
And roll it out into the madman’s diary of an adult
Things past
And things to come
The main line over the hidden lines
With thousands of threads entangled and intertwined
Strive to pass through the needle’s eye
And sketch out a jigsaw of uniform pieces
Each cracking an esoteric allusion
To probe the bottom line of acceptance
Whether showgoers and bookmen
Will attune to men of knowing the look
And discerning the tastes of life
Discerning the dharma eye of life
At the site of the Grand Master
Chorus, crosstalk and mono-talk pry into
The presence and absence of the corporeal body
While the switching and identifying of the double
Like the birth of every Master from the hundred schools
Realized through a hundred-family victual
A bowl of powdered
Assorted grains
A potpourri of porridge
游以飘
《大同》
大宗师的一千零一夜
补加无数的荧幕
在可以计算的日常
变化多端的手法
如出一辙的题旨
给观众编织百纳被
在里面
都来那么一套
挟裹少年的奇幻
铺展成年的狂人日记
过去的事
与未来的事
那些千丝万缕的主线
与伏线，相互盘缠纠结
竞相穿透唯一的针眼
勾勒一致的拼图
相继在抖包袱
探测接受的底线
看戏的人，读书的人
能否划一为识相的人
辨识生活的趣味
辨别生活的法眼
于大宗师的现场
合唱，相声，单口
窥看肉身的出现与隐没
分身的切换与真伪
宛如诸子每一次的诞生
落实于百家饭
那样一碗
五谷杂粮
融合的粥糊
