A person needs a window when facing the outside world, and a mirror when facing himself. You can only see the brightness of the world through the window.

The "window" in Lin Qingxuan's metaphor means that a broad vision is very important for personal development; And "mirror" means that everyone should look at themselves and be brave in self-improvement. If we cut into the meaning of the topic from "when a person faces the outside world, what he needs is a window", we can specifically write about the intellectual vision, spiritual vision, international vision and cultural vision: we can write about transcending ourselves and stepping out of the narrow world of individuals.

It can describe things, scenes, things, emotions and principles in life, and improve people's spiritual realm or insight. You can also directly discuss your own views and opinions on the "vision". If you start with the question "When a person faces himself, what he needs is a mirror", you can gain insight into all aspects of life.

Explore the weakness of human nature through the "mirror": love to listen to praise, not advice; Pursue form over substance, etc. Just like Li Shimin's theory of "bronze mirror", "human mirror" and "historical mirror", Zhu Bajie gave up the story of looking in the mirror. The story of the emperor looking in the mirror in The Emperor's New Clothes can be quoted, but it should be used properly.

Lin Qingxuan's prose can often go from here to there, from outside to inside. As he once said, "Seek inward and seek outward". His prose is usually based on ordinary things. While optimizing the language, it systematically displays the implication, reveals the mystery of life, and excites readers in the process of reading.

For example, in the article "Twilight Bodhi", "From the ant nest in the shade of the Bodhi tree to the sunny and romantic dusk, I was deeply shocked, and felt that people living in the countryside were the essence of life."

People living in cities need more classical mood, peaceful mood and some calm wisdom after pollution. This reflects the author's wisdom in linking life and mood with Bodhi. The artistic conception also changes with the change of the scene, which makes the prose have very metaphysical philosophical thinking.
