Tian Jianguo in my mind is a "generalist". Whether it is literature, photography, music, or work, it seems that he is an affectionate 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 the poetic life with the real life, injects the emotion of life into the context of life, and unfolds "reading", all 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 simple office, the warm spring sun shone on him and sprinkled on his laughter. It was the author's heart that was as warm as the sun. From the initial acquaintance to the heart-to-heart talk with him today, it took a year, suddenly. However, this elder's poetic life feelings and optimistic attitude towards life are moving the author more and more.
when I first met Tian Jianguo, I was at the press conference of an event. At that time, he was holding a camera and was busy fixing every wonderful picture and every vivid moment. When he was busy for a while and sat down, the president of Zhang Jun Summit of Da Chang 'an Culture and Art Salon gave us a mutual introduction. 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 seemed to be more sincere and enthusiastic than the kindness and humility of his teacher.
"I am a person, I can talk to you freely! Let's speak freely! " In his generous opening, we put aside the seriousness of ordinary interviews and the shackles between generations, and 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, like the wind blowing without leaving a trace. Suddenly, when I think of some fragments in his words, I feel more deeply the lofty sentiments and love that are quietly released in his writing ... < P > This interview with him can be said to be the longest one I have "dragged on" ever. The reason why I haven't finished writing for a long time is not because I'm too busy to have time, but because it's the first time that I suddenly dare not write easily. I'm afraid that my poor handwriting can't accurately depict the graceful demeanor and personality charm of this elder. I'm afraid that I'm too ignorant to learn, and if I'm not careful, I'll miss out his poetry and sincerity to life. However, the "fear of writing" is a fear of writing, and the interview will eventually be written! Coupled with this period of "research" and brewing, a Tian Jianguo in my own heart finally came up to me with a smile from Shuai Shuai. So, hurry up and make a comprehensive "analysis" of him. I want to see why he is so handsome!
passionate 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 "generous and exciting" brain cells to express his magnificent life.
If Mr. Tian Jianguo is an excellent writer, photographer and music lover, it must be solemnly announced that he is a passionate and deep son of the earth first! Because only those who really walk on the earth can talk about life and practice art. Just like Tian Jianguo, it is his special trip to Shan Ye that makes every work, photo and singing of him "flesh and blood", which makes people deeply understand and linger.
In Mr. Tian Jianguo's own memory, it seems that he had a strong local complex since he was a child. When it comes to the funny things in the countryside in his childhood, there will be a special feeling in his words, and the brand of those times he clearly remembers so far. At the age of 18 and a half, he worked in the geological industry. He once waded through mountains and rivers and sprinted, and the inexhaustible underground "cultural relics" not only explored treasures for the country, but also made him feel the incomparable beauty and fragrance of the mountains and rivers of the motherland and the vegetation of the earth. The shadows of nature in different seasons, different weather and different perspectives are not only reflected on his camera base, but also make his mind receive the washing and baptism of harmonious coexistence between nature and human beings again and again.
During this period of time, I carefully read each of his literary works, and I found that those articles were so full of enthusiasm. I looked through one of his photographs carefully, and I found that those photos were so clever 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, which is well-founded, true and grounded.
A multi-faceted writer who became a monk halfway
If you accidentally stepped into his "Howl" song blog that day, you might be brought to tears by his humorous personal introduction. I don't believe you, he described his glorious course of becoming a monk halfway: "It's over the age of no doubt that one's fingers itch and his heart starts to move. After work, he plays with a knife that gouges his teeth, dances with a sword that is half-baked, doodles by hand, and makes novels, poems, essays, essays, etc. that are not' stylish'. It's really a half-jar hanging around and an 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 and leave some mysterious reverie for readers.
as the saying goes, experts are often forged inadvertently. No, Tian Jianguo, a writer, although he became a monk halfway, has become a generalist in the literary world, and he is also a prolific writer. It can be seen that some accomplishments have nothing to do with the length of time.
the first contact with his works began with his prose, so let's talk about his prose first. His prose is good at explaining some mysteries of life with the details of life that people like to see and hear. In his works, people, things and things are written, and there is no long-winded reasoning and too much "affectionate" lyricism, but often a simple fragment of life can allude to the various life styles, and a subtle core of still flowers can show the changes of Chunhua Qiushi and Xia Dong, which makes people wonder after reading it: this writer is really a master of "picking up" the atmosphere in a subtle place.
Take his classic essay "The Desk" for example. He described his desk in different stages of his life as "exquisite" and hidden mystery with his witty pen and ink with extraordinary agility and high IQ. Between laughter and laughter, the things and personnel of some organs are vividly and interestingly portrayed. His tactful and implicit writing style can be described as a gentle sword, which makes us and other ordinary people enjoy it, and makes those "high officials and dignitaries" feel uncomfortable but have nothing to say. If they refuse to accept it, they can't! Another example is his excellent prose works, such as Sunrise Appointment, Emperor Qin Shihuang's Mausoleum Meets Idol, Xiongguan as Iron, Escape from Wang Shunshan, etc., all of which seem to record some daily trifles at will, but in fact, they are excellent prose works produced by him through careful layout. His creative and imaginative prose has a broad vision, and is sincere and sincere. It makes people feel novel and real, and it is kind and natural to read, full of charm and interest. As the writer Yang Guanghu 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 mind, carries the fresh wind of Shan Ye, describes 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 warriors 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 wake up the minerals that have been sleeping for hundreds of millions of years; They are full of lofty sentiments, struggle with their hands, and develop with their wisdom. Following the strong voice of the times, they are writing the labor movement of the iron man of geology and mineral resources and singing the songs of touching devotees.
As a member of the geological and mineral system, Tian Jianguo is also such a person with geological feelings. Every line of his words seems to be condensed with the painstaking efforts of a writer with geological complex-in a plain narrative, there is a writer's longing for greatness, reverence for the sublime, piety for the sacred and enthusiasm for faith!
"A solitary lamp with a blood-red light overhead/Keep your eyes wide open in the surrounding dark atmosphere/Crawl forward in a deep alley/Paddle the blackened body with your hands and feet/Bury your head and carry a little bit of hope deep in the earth/weave melancholy and sadness/hardship and danger back and forth in black and white upside down/step by step from light to darkness/then from darkness to bright world ..." This is. He didn't extol the greatness of miners in a big way, nor did he moan about how miserable miners were, but circled a scene of miners' work with concise and powerful words. Isn't this kind of "ego" feeling and people's livelihood consciousness that carefully observes the life situation of the lowest people exactly the historical mission that every writer and poet should have?
For example, his poems "Oh, the Great Qinling Mountains", "Unforgettable Songs with Unforgettable Melody", "Shangluo Beauty in the Qinling Mountains" and "Lost in the tenderness of a Millennium Water Town" and many other excellent and affectionate works all have a great beauty mind and a great beauty consciousness without exception, and this kind of mind and consciousness properly interpret the tension of life and the interest of life, which makes people feel beautiful when reading. As he said in his own view of poetry: "Poetry is not a spring snow, nor is it a Xialiba people. Poetry is the harmonious unity of social life and subjective spiritual life. Only when she comes from the masses of the people and returns to the masses of the people will she have strong vitality. "
After prose and poetry, let's go to his "novel warehouse" and "essay scabbard" again.
His short stories include The Skirt Book of Expo, My pen name is Jia Pingwa, After My Mobile Phone Fell into WC, Funny Qingming Festival, as well as his essays Autobiography of Pig, About the Establishment of Conference Daily and Conference Channel >: Ask for instructions, the Monkey King's Thought Report, and so on, so that you can appreciate his "Tian's humor" and "a knife hidden in his smile".
in his four-pronged literary works, such as novels, essays, poems and essays, there is a "killer weapon" with the same meaning, that is, his cunning and intelligent song theory of "using the topic to play". Therefore, 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, and borrowing the past to describe the present, it can achieve the purpose of convincing people by reasoning. Its "spicy" lies in its profound and pungent style of writing, incisive and original arguments, vivid and typical images, vivid and humorous language, and all its laughter and abuse are articles. Therefore, it is also the easiest to form heart-to-heart communication with readers and produce a strong * * * sound.
So, I think Tian Jianguo's short stories and essays are like a "jujube tree". Although it is covered with thorns, the fruit is sweet. It is like an "X-ray machine", which can see through the social "viscera" invisible to the naked eye, check its crux and dialysis the pathological causes. I think his style of writing may be the external portrayal of his ideological independence and spiritual freedom.
use light and shadow to freeze a beautiful photographer
if there is one thing in the world that can make moments last forever and beauty last forever, there are only excellent light and shadow works. Some people say that photography is just a simple photography skill, but Tian Jianguo seems to regard it as a "professional art of living". He gives each work a brand-new life with his burning heart, full of passion, intelligent understanding and deep thoughts. Perhaps he has always believed that a good photo can not only give people visual enjoyment, but also reach the soul and shock it. For Tian Jianguo, there is no doubt that he loves photography, but I believe he loves this hot land of life even more. Otherwise, how can you see his active figure at many important events?
Walking into his world of light and shadow, looking at his photographic works, we can see that his "treasures of light and shadow" involve all fields of life, with a wide range of subjects and diverse styles, but he likes landscape photography and people's snapshot best. Moreover, each 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, in fact, is an art of choosing beauty from the dynamics and quietness of society. Tian Jianguo's excellent photographic works not only reflect his broad mind, keen eye and skillful photography skills, but also reflect his good cultural accomplishment and unique feeling and love for life.
a poetic nomadic spiritual homecoming
Poetry is an intention, an attitude towards life and a choice of life! If a person's heart is poetic, the vein of life will run through every footprint he walks.
British thinker Russell said, "The more things a person is interested in, the more chances he will be happy, and the less likely he will be at the mercy of fate.". Just like Tian Jianguo, his poetic dwelling makes him "sing" all the way, and he walks happily in every elegant circle, and he is famous in these fields. You see, from the "names" such as member and editor 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 Xi 'an Foreign Economic and Cultural Development Promotion Association, director of Chang 'an Poetry Society, literary consultant of Young Writers Association, deputy editor-in-chief of Qinling Impression literary magazine, etc., we can see that his life is wonderful, beautiful and versatile.
"Happy work, happy life and happy writing". Tian Jianguo used these "three joys" to explain his attitude towards life. What simple words and beautiful long-cherished wishes! As Epicurus, an ancient Greek philosopher, emphasized two thousand years ago, "Happiness is the starting point and goal of a happy life." Yes, the days are mostly normal, as long as there is beauty in the eyes, a leaf is beautiful and elegant, and a porridge and a meal are sweet and waxy.
It is not enough for a person to have only this life and this world. He should also have romantic feelings and a poetic world. It is true that Mr. Tian Jianguo is the man who has such a huge world. Otherwise, how can there be so many different beautiful scenery and interesting world in his heart, pen and lens?
