Photographic Prose of Foreign Scenery

My impression of Tian Jianguo is a "generalist". Whether it is literature, photography, music or work, it seems that he is an affectionate and righteous child. I have always felt that as a "singer walking on the earth", Tian Jianguo's bone marrow is always full of poetic blood. Whether reading his works or tasting his life, you will find that he enthusiastically connects poetic life with real life, injects the emotion of life into the context of life and launches "reading". Without exception, there is a voice of thought calling you and making you feel sincere and warm in this city.

Through that window, in his humble office, the warm spring sunshine shone on him and sprinkled on his laughter. It is the author's heart that is as warm as the sun. From the initial acquaintance to the heart-to-heart talk with him today, it took a year, suddenly. But this elder's poetic life sentiment and optimistic attitude towards life moved the author more and more.

When I first met Tian Jianguo, it was at an event press conference. At that time, he was holding a camera and was busy freezing every wonderful picture and every vivid moment. After sitting down for a while, the president of Zhang Jun Summit of Chang 'an Culture and Art Salon introduced us to each other. I remember when he heard my name, he was happy: "Ha ha ha, we both have the word" country ",which happens to be" two countries "! Fate! Fate! " In this way, the first acquaintance seems to be more sincere and enthusiastic than his teacher's kindness and humility.

"I this person, what all can let go and chat with you! Let's speak freely! " In his generous opening remarks, we put aside the fetters between the seriousness of ordinary interviews and generations, listened to his past and felt his life in an extremely relaxed and pleasant atmosphere: those rich experiences and unusual past events all became calm and gentle with him, blowing like the wind without leaving a trace. Suddenly, when I think of some fragments in his words, I feel more deeply the lofty sentiments and love quietly released in his works. ...

This interview with him can be said to be the longest interview I have ever had, and it was "delayed". I haven't finished writing for a long time, not because I was too busy to have time, but because I suddenly didn't dare to write easily for the first time. I'm afraid my poor handwriting can't accurately describe the elder's graceful demeanor and personality charm. I am afraid that I am too ignorant to learn, and I accidentally miss his poetry and sincerity to life. However, "fear of writing" means fear of writing, and the interview will eventually be written! Coupled with this period of "research" and brewing, a Tian Jianguo in my heart finally came to me with Shuai Shuai's smile. So, make a comprehensive "analysis" of him quickly. I want to see why he is so handsome!

Warm and deep son of the earth

I like to study a person from the whole to the part. Then, let me first mobilize all my "passionate" brain cells to express his magnificent life.

If Mr. Tian Jianguo is an excellent writer, photographer and music lover, it must be solemnly declared that he is first and foremost a passionate and deep son of the earth! Because only those who really walk on the earth can talk about life and practice art, just like Tian Jianguo, it is his trip to Shan Ye that makes every work, photo and song of his "flesh and blood", which makes people deeply understand and linger.

In Mr. Tian Jianguo's own memory, it seems that he has a strong local complex since he was a child. When it comes to interesting stories about his childhood in the countryside, there will be a special feeling in his words, and he still clearly remembers the brand of those times. 18 and a half years old, engaged in geological industry. He once waded across mountains and rivers, sprinted everywhere, and the inexhaustible underground "cultural relics" not only excavated treasures for the country, but also made him feel the unparalleled beauty and fragrance of the mountains and rivers of the motherland and the vegetation of the earth. The shadow of nature in different seasons, different weather and different perspectives is not only reflected in the base of his camera, but also makes his mind be washed and baptized again and again by the harmonious coexistence of nature and human beings.

During this time, I carefully read each of his literary works, and I found those articles are so full of enthusiasm; I looked through one of his photos carefully, and I found that those photos were so ingenious and "revealing"; I spy on his "infatuation" with vocal music again, only to know that every song he sings is so affectionately "praising nature". Therefore, it can be said that he is a passionate and deep son of the earth, well-founded and truly grounded.

An all-round writer who became a monk halfway.

If you accidentally stepped into his Howl song blog that day, you might burst into tears because of his humorous personal introduction. I don't believe you. He described his glorious journey of becoming a monk halfway: "After a year of no doubt, one's fingers itch." After work, he plays with a gouging knife, dances with a half-baked sword, doodles by hand, and does novels, poems, essays and so on. Things that are not "fashionable" It's really half a jar hanging, idiot dreaming. Originally, I wanted to record his whole introduction here, but in order to avoid my poor pen laughing out loud, I'd better omit it here, leaving readers with some mysterious reverie.

As the saying goes, masters are often forged inadvertently. No, Tian Jianguo, a writer, though he became a monk halfway, became a generalist in the literary world, and he was also a prolific writer. Obviously, some achievements have nothing to do with the length of time.

The first contact with his works began with his prose, let's talk about his prose first. His prose is good at explaining some mysteries of life with details that people like to see and hear. In his works, people, events and things are described without lengthy reasoning and too much "affectionate" lyricism, but often a simple fragment of life can allude to various styles of life, and a subtle core of still flowers can show the changes of spring flowers and autumn fruits and Xia Dong, which makes people sigh: this writer is really a master who "picks up" the atmosphere in subtle places.

Take his classic prose "Desk" as an example. With extraordinary agility and high IQ, he used witty pen and ink to describe his desk at different stages of life as "exquisite" and hidden mystery. Between laughter and laughter, the things and personnel of some organs are vividly portrayed. His tactful and implicit writing can be described as a gentle sword, which makes us and other ordinary people enjoy it, and also makes those "high officials and dignitaries" feel uncomfortable but have nothing to say. If they refuse to accept, they can't! Another example is his excellent prose works, such as The Covenant of Sunrise, Emperor Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum Meets Idols, The Great Pass is Like Iron, Escape from Wang Shunshan, etc. All this seems to record some daily trifles at will, but in fact it is an excellent prose work made by him after careful layout. His creative and imaginative prose has a broad vision and is sincere. It makes people feel novel and true, and it is kind and natural to read, full of charm and interesting. As the writer Yang wrote after reading his prose, his prose has no romantic mediocrity, no empty praise, and no lingering entanglement between water and fire. However, his prose absorbs the essence of the earth, enlightens the soul, carries the fresh wind of Shan Ye, depicts the infinite scenery of the motherland and is full of humanistic care.

I often have such an artistic conception for the workers in the geological industry: a person, a book, a car, and then a long and rugged road. They are soldiers of dreams and witnesses of time! They explored every inch of land under their feet and turned stone into gold. In their hands, beautiful stones are singing happily. They raised their magical hands and a geological hammer to awaken the minerals that have been sleeping for hundreds of millions of years; They are full of lofty sentiments, struggle with both hands and develop with wisdom. Following the strong voice of the times, they are writing the workers' movement of the Iron Man in Geology and Minerals, and singing the songs that touched the devotees.

As a member of the geological and mineral system, Tian Jianguo is also such a person with geological feelings. Every word of his seems to be condensed with the painstaking efforts of a writer with a geological complex-in a plain narrative, a writer's longing for greatness, reverence for the sublime, piety for the sacred and enthusiasm for faith flow!

"There is a blood-red solitary lamp overhead/keep your eyes wide open in the surrounding dark atmosphere/crawl in a deep alley/paddle your blackened body with your hands and feet/bury your head in the deep soil with a little hope/weave melancholy and sadness/shuttle back and forth in black and white/step by step from light to darkness/from darkness to bright world ..." This is his poem about miners' life. He did not praise the greatness of miners in a big way, nor lamented how miserable miners were, but circled a scene of miners' work with concise and powerful words. Isn't this "self" feeling and people's livelihood consciousness of carefully observing the living conditions of the people at the bottom exactly the historical mission that every writer and poet should have?

Another example is his poems "Ah, the Great Qinling Mountains", "Unforgettable Songs, Unforgettable Melody", "Beauty of Shangluo Mountain in Qinling Mountains" and "Lost in the tenderness of a thousand-year-old water town", and many other excellent and affectionate works, all without exception, have a great beauty mind and a great beauty consciousness, which just explains the tension and interest of life and makes people feel beautiful and full of hope. As he said in his own view of poetry: "Poetry is not a Chun Xue, nor is it a Lower Liba. Poetry is the harmonious unity of social life and subjective spiritual life. Only when she comes from the people and returns to the people will she have strong vitality. "

After prose and poetry, let's go to his "novel warehouse" and "prose scabbard"

His short stories include Expo Skirt Book, My pen name is Jia Pingwa, After My Mobile Phone Fell into WC, Funny Tomb-Sweeping Day, as well as his prose collection Autobiography of Pig, About the Establishment of Conference Daily and Conference Channel: Asking for Instructions, and the Monkey King's Thought Report, etc., so that you can appreciate his humor in the field and hide the knife in the smile.

In his novels, essays, poems and essays, these literary works all have a common "killer weapon", that is, his cunning and cleverness "exploit the topic", so his articles are often "miscellaneous" and "spicy". Its "miscellaneous" lies in its unique theme, brushwork and form. By beating about the bush, hiding the needle in the cotton, borrowing the past to compare the present, we can achieve the purpose of convincing people with reason. Its "spicy" lies in its profound and spicy writing, incisive and original arguments, vivid and typical images, vivid and humorous language, and all its jokes and curses are articles. Therefore, it is also the easiest to form a heart-to-heart communication with readers and have a strong resonance.

Therefore, I think Tian Jianguo's short stories and essays are like a "jujube tree". Although it is full of thorns, its fruit is sweet. It is like an "X-ray machine", which can see through the social "internal organs" invisible to the naked eye, check its crux and dialysis the pathological reasons. I think his writing style may be an external portrayal of his ideological independence and spiritual freedom.

Freeze a beautiful photographer with light and shadow

If there is one thing in the world that can make the moment eternal and the beauty eternal, it is only excellent light and shadow works. Some people say that photography is just a simple photography skill, but Tian Jianguo seems to think that it is a "professional art of life". He gave every work a brand-new life with his burning heart, full of passion, wise understanding and profound thoughts. Perhaps he has always believed that a good photo can not only give people visual enjoyment, but also touch the soul and shock the soul. For Tian Jianguo, there is no doubt that he loves photography, but I believe he loves this hot spot of life even more. Otherwise, how can you see his active figure in many important activities?

Walking into his world of light and shadow and looking at his photography works, his Treasure of Light and Shadow covers all fields of life, with a wide range of themes and diverse styles, but his favorite is landscape photography and character capture. Moreover, every work is a masterpiece discovered, selected, refined and cut out in the vast world with a unique aesthetic vision. Many works can break away from convention in dealing with the relationship between light and darkness, virtual and real, dynamic and static, sparse and dense, with originality, novel conception, elegant style and charming artistic conception, giving people a harmonious and beautiful spiritual enjoyment. Photography is actually an art of choosing beauty from the dynamics and quietness of society. Tian Jianguo's excellent photography not only embodies his broad mind, keen eye and skillful photography skills, but also embodies his good cultural accomplishment and unique feelings and love for life.

Poetic nomadic spirit returning home

Poetry is an intention, an attitude towards life and a life choice! If a person's heart is poetic, the vein of life will run through every footprint he walks through.

Bertrand Russell, an English thinker, said, "The more things a person is interested in, the more chances he has to be happy, and the less vulnerable he is to fate." . Just like Tian Jianguo, his poetic dwelling made him "sing" all the way and walk happily in every elegant circle, making him famous in these fields. You see, from the names of members and editors of China Land and Resources Writers Association, executive director of Shaanxi Literature Creation Research Association, director of Shaanxi Prose Society, special researcher of Shaanxi Labor Movement Research Association, vice president of Da Chang 'an Culture and Art Salon, director of network information department of Provincial Foreign Economic and Cultural Development Promotion Association, director of Chang 'an Poetry Society, literary consultant of Young Writers Association, and deputy editor-in-chief of Qinling Impression Literature magazine, we can see that his life is wonderful, beautiful and varied.

Happy work, happy life and happy writing. Tian Jianguo explained his attitude towards life with these "three joys". What simple words, what a beautiful wish! As the ancient Greek philosopher Epicurus emphasized two thousand years ago, "happiness is the starting point and goal of a happy life." Yes, most days are normal, as long as there is beauty in the eyes, a leaf is beautiful and elegant, and a porridge is sweet and glutinous.

It is not enough for a person to have this life. He should also have romantic feelings and a poetic world. Indeed, Mr Tian Jianguo is a man with such a vast world. Otherwise, how can there be so many different beautiful scenery and interesting worlds in his heart, in his pen and in his lens?
