A few days ago, my movie friend Tian Feng called me and told me that his photo album Camel Salt Road Post Station, which he shot for many years, was about to go to Fu Zi. This is really a great event in photography. Congratulations!

Tian Feng is an accomplished photographer in our region, vice chairman of Inner Mongolia Tourism Photographers Association and vice chairman of Wuhai Photographers Association. Tian Feng has been engaged in photography for many years. He has a unique personal style and never goes with the flow. He is a photographer with humanistic thought and historical responsibility.

Tian Feng's photographic works have a wide range of subjects, mainly his hometown. He has been aiming at the historical sites, folk customs and ecological environment of the Yellow River Basin. In the past ten years, a large number of photographs about the Yellow River have been taken, among which Gui Mu, Happy Smiling Face, Hong Fei in the Desert, Aerzhai Grottoes, Night Camel Team and other photographs have won awards in major film festivals such as China Art Museum, Inner Mongolia Art Museum, China Popular Photography Magazine and Inner Mongolia Customs Photography Exhibition held by the United Nations Headquarters in new york.

Tian was born on the bank of the Yellow River and grew up in Hetao Plain. After Peking University graduated, he started a real estate business at the foot of Gande Mountain on the south bank of the Yellow River, and achieved good results.

Tian Feng, who grew up drinking the Yellow River, has deep feelings for the Yellow River. After graduation, he has many opportunities to work in first-tier cities. But he gave up and returned to Wuhai on the bank of the Yellow River to start a business and set up Hengxiang Real Estate Company. Relying on solid enterprise management knowledge and pragmatic and honest enterprise spirit, the real estate industry flourished and became a pioneering young entrepreneur in Wuhai City.

Tian Feng has elegant taste and a wide range of hobbies. Gong Yuxi collects Gobi stones, works as a painter in his spare time, and is also very keen on public welfare undertakings. Tian Feng, who has a poetry book in his stomach, can write articles, splash ink and write brilliantly, but he has devoted the most energy and achieved the greatest success in photography.

In recent years, Tian Feng's main photography creation direction is to record and excavate the old Dengkou Gudu, Yantuo Ancient Road and other related cultural landscapes on both sides of the Yellow River for a long time. For this reason, I put a lot of energy into it, except for running the company's business. Most of the time, I was either filming the Yellow River or filming the ancient salt camel road of the Yellow River.

Tian Feng admired nature and loved literature and art since he was a teenager. He has the simple nature of Hetao people and is kind to others. Although he is a successful man in business, he lives a simple life and doesn't care about luxury. Usually I don't like to indulge in drinking and singing, and I'm not good at communication and unnecessary social intercourse. She only likes to play calligraphy and painting and study the art of light and shadow. Whenever he has a holiday after work, he often asks a few movie friends to have tea together, shoot nine songs of the Yellow River, climb to the top of Gandell, climb high and overlook the magnificent landscape of "the desert is lonely and the long river sets the yen", look for the Great Wall of Qin and Han Dynasties, look for the ancient village of Jilu and miss the ancient love.

The Yellow River not only enriches the Hetao Plain, but also endows Tian Feng, the son of the Yellow River, with strong artistic vitality. Singing nine songs about the Yellow River, praising the Yellow River's nourishment to the people of Hetao and eulogizing the achievements of the Millennium Mother River are the eternal themes of Tian Feng's photography creation.

In recent years, regardless of the severe cold and hot summer, Tian Feng traveled all the year round on both sides of the Yellow River, recording the ecological environment and folk customs of the Yellow River by photography, covering desert grasslands, ancient ruins, lakes and wetlands, birds and animals and folk customs on both sides of the Yellow River. When Tian Feng visited the ancient crossing of the Yellow River in Sumu, Bayan, Mu Ren, Alashan League, he was pleasantly surprised to find an ancient camel road carrying salt at the old Dengkou Yellow River ferry in Yanchi, Jilantai, Alashan. The old ferry still retains the old house in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, with a salt tax station and a salt storage warehouse. Because this ferry is located in the Mongolian part of Alashan, which believes in Islam, it is remote and little known. After discovering this salt camel station and the ancient crossing of the Yellow River, he deeply felt that it was a treasure house for studying the ancient Silk Road, the shipping history of the Yellow River and camel transportation in Alashan salt industry, which was of great significance to the development of cultural tourism in the Yellow River.

Tian Feng consulted the development history of Alashan salt industry, collected a large number of pictures of Yellow River ferry and salt camel transportation, invested in repairing the ferry site, and established the "Yellow River salt camel ancient road photography post". This move is of great significance to the ecological protection on both sides of the Yellow River, the economic development of villages and towns, and the development of cultural tourism in the old capital of the Yellow River. Shi Yuping, then director of Inner Mongolia Press and Publication Bureau, Ebo, chairman of Inner Mongolia Tourism Photographers Association, Batu, chairman of Alashan League Tourism Photographers Association, Han, vice chairman of Wuhai Photographers Association, secretary and deputy secretary of Wulanbuhe Desert Demonstration Zone Management Committee, Tian and Bayan Sumuda attended the award ceremony.

In order to explore the historical development of the ancient salt camel road, Tian Feng went deep into the banks of the Yellow River for five years and took a lot of photos about the customs, cultural relics, animals and birds, and ecological conditions of the Yellow River. Appreciate Tian Feng's "Salt Camel Road Station" photography, which is rich in content, unique in photography art, exquisite in photography composition, magnificent and shocking. Humanistic documentary, ancient sites, folk customs, historical pictures, rich in connotation, real and vivid. This photo collection of Salt Camel Road Station is both informative and ornamental, reflecting the profound history and culture of the Yellow River, the cultural landscape and customs on both sides of the Yellow River.

On the occasion of the publication of Tian Feng's large-scale photo collection "Yantuo Road Station", I would like to pay tribute to Tian Feng's great achievements in photography in Inner Mongolia over the years and express my heartfelt congratulations on the publication of his masterpiece "Yantuo Road Station"!
