I don't know how I first met Brother Cui Wei.
Because sometimes the acquaintance of two people is natural, their encounter is slow, natural, infiltrated, insignificant, as if a drop of water and another drop of water, like two trees in a dense forest, can you tell when the two drops of water in the Min River met together? Can you tell someone when the water went deep into the dirt?

It seems that one day in 2001, when I was working as a temporary reporter in Dujiangyan Bao, I conducted an interview at the Tianfuyuan Old Tea House, and several scenic staff were present. Vaguely remembered that there seemed to be Cui Wei in it, and after talking for two sentences, without saying anything deeply, I hurried away.
Years later, I had frequent contact with Cui Wei.
Although it was for work, the river of friendship, like a spring breeze blowing through March, quietly seeped into the earth.
Cui Wei not only has a fanatical love for photography, but also has a good appreciation for poetry and painting and artistic talent. In addition to the brush, the steering wheel, the busy work and the warm life, he clutched in his hand, and the camera.
As long as time permits, Cui Wei often runs to the scenic spot alone to take pictures. A few times when I walked with him, he always looked up at the sky and said very disappointedly, "Oh! It's too late, and the Temple of the Second King can't be illuminated again", regret, overflowing with words.
Between the shutter presses, those beautiful things are frozen into a picture.
Ma Timely thought: "Some of Cui Wei's photos feel very in place! ”
I think that Cui Wei's greater contribution to the photography community in our city is that he has achieved an important role in promoting the creation of photography in our city as a photographer, planner and organizer. Golden Autumn Photography Exhibition, Heritage Exhibition, etc. are all physical evidence.

In fact, my fate with Brother Cui Wei can even be traced back to 1996.
That year, I graduated from secondary school, and the secondary school that was once popular had reached the end of the crossbow. In order to find a job, I drove to Mianyang, and then set off from Kaiyuanchang, along a road that few people walked, deep into a forest area, I remember that it was April, along the way the trees (I don't know if it is sycamores) rushing to spit green leaves, the scene is like a very oil painting... Forty minutes later, I arrived at the then famous Mianyang Chaoyang Machine Factory, knocked on the door of the office of the chief of the personnel section, and timidly handed over my resume. Although I was not able to work in the same factory as Cui Wei in the end, the complex could not be separated, and the color of the oil painting that day was always in my mind, although Cui Wei had returned to Dujiangyan at that time.

Every time I am with Cui Wei, when it comes to Mianyang, when it comes to the factories and mines of 203, 204, 208, 302, 305, 502, to Kaiyuanchang and Yuyingba, to Mianyang rice noodles... There will always be a faint hint of nostalgia in my heart.
Then Cui Wei would always come to a mianyang sentence that summed it up: "It's all brutal!" ”

One day, Brother Cui Wei said to me, "Go, go and see Teacher Li." ”
So, we came to a small courtyard in Longtan Bay, surrounded by high-rise buildings, fruit trees in the courtyard, Mr. Li Qiming put his hands on his knees, sat quietly on a worn bamboo chair, while basking in the sun, while talking with Brother Cui Wei about Zhao Xi, Lin Sijin, Zhang Daqian, Dong Shouping, Zhao Wangyun... Occasionally, he also memorized one or two poems by Chen Zhitang to write Nanqiao or Gu Jiegang to write couplets about Qingcheng Mountain.
Sometimes, Teacher Li would also recall the push tent album that Dong Shouping had drawn for him, and then sighed a long time: "The album pages of more than a hundred paintings, oh, just fell like that..." Cui Wei stood respectfully on the side, and if he asked, he would respectfully answer it. Before leaving, Cui Wei took out a few hundred yuan from his body and stuffed it into the hands of the teacher:"Buy something for the teacher to eat." ”
Later, I learned that Cui Wei was a disciple of Li Qiming, and his calligraphy was taught by Mr. Li, and that his neat little letters could not be achieved overnight. Later, I also became a student of Mr. Li Qiming, and my friendship with Cui Wei was further enhanced.

Although Mr. Li Qiming is gone, I have a feeling: Teacher Li has not left.
Zhang Longyan, Zhang Tongjie, Cui Wei, Liu Taizong, Li Yutang and other teachers and brothers have come closer, and the way everyone misses the teacher is to be as low-key as Mr. Li and study diligently.
In terms of "low-key behavior, diligent study", Cui Wei has always been my role model.

Sometimes, when I go to see Cui Wei, he will come out of the bookcase with a roll of rice paper, which is his calligraphy work written recently, mostly in small letters.
Cui Wei would show me the geography one by one and then say, "This one is not written well." And he said, "This one feels good." He also said: "The words on the tail of this piece are a little bigger, and the wine was more than a little bit that night." ”
Finally, Cui Wei gave me a few words that he thought were good, and said, "You take it and pick it up." He also pointed to a piece of writing and said: "All written on it are the words of the bamboo branches of Guanxian County, and those with Ma Ji, Ma Lian, and Ma Guang, they are sent to the horse in time..."
The words are like their people, and the neat and tidy xiao Kai is like Cui Wei's demeanor.
Cui Wei's characters first appeared in public at the "Golden Autumn Xin" calligraphy and painting exhibition held by the Dujiangyan Municipal CPPCC during the National Day in 2013.
That exhibition included the works of almost all outstanding calligraphers and painters in Dujiangyan City, and Song Yuchao, Zhang Xuezhong, Zhang Zongpin, Zhang Xianting, Tang Ruchuan, Deng Chongzhu, Zhang Jian, Zhang Tongjie, and Zhang Longyan were all selected for their works. At the opening ceremony, when Brother Zhou Zhonghe introduced to the main leaders of the city in front of a small painting, "This small painting was written by Cui Wei of the scenic spot, neat and handsome, and profound skill", the leaders familiar with Cui Wei were surprised and were deeply surprised.

Once, when I accompanied Mr. Gao Runchuan to visit the "Most Beautiful Dujiangyan" New Year Calligraphy and Painting Exhibition, Mr. Gao, who had a profound calligraphy foundation, looked at Cui Wei's Xiao Kai for a long time and said: "Cui Wei is willing to work hard!" ”

In my opinion, Cui Wei is not only a writer, but also a photographer, calligrapher, musician, foodie, folk writer... A very well-rounded cultural person.
Because from his deep bones to his worldly life, what emanated from his body was the kind of legacy that flowed down from the Qin and Han dynasties that were far away from the Tang Dynasty and even longer. Whether it's reading a whimsical calligraphy, admiring an ethereal painting, listening to a guqin with flowing water from a high mountain, or singing a song of song from heaven and earth... Cui Wei brothers can find the feeling of culture from it and indulge in it, and it is difficult to extricate themselves. That kind of heartfelt obsession and intoxication with culture and culture people has made many pseudo-cultural people and cultural strings ashamed and ashamed. Cui Wei often gives me gifts—those are rare and good books, such as "Ma Yifu's Academic Thought Research" and so on.
Cui Wei and I are both people who love books, and when we see good books, we can't help but "itch our hands". Once, Cui Wei brought me a large bag of books and lent them to me. It was a book by Liang Sicheng and Liu Dunzhen on architectural aesthetics, all of which were good books, supplemented by a large number of precious pictures, which made people fall in love, and I put them in my office and read them when I had time. Unexpectedly, we couldn't find it later, and Cui Wei and I were lost for a long time, as if we had lost a group of close friends.
I often wonder, in today's noisy and impetuous era, how many people can sink their hearts like Cui Wei to read a few books and write a few words?
Occasionally, Cui Wei also collects several works by Hu Li, Lei Qihou, Li Qiming and other Benyi calligraphers and painters. Others don't understand, why not collect the works of famous foreign artists? Cui Wei always said affectionately while rubbing his works: "Mofa, 'sick' has to be turned!" I love this thing so much because it has a local culture on it. ”

Especially when the wine is familiar, The always introverted and low-key Brother Cui Wei will be ignited by the alcohol of culture, eagerly and excitedly talk to you about Li Taibai Du Gongbu, Zhang Daqian Xu Beihong, Zhuang Xue xuejiang, Ma Zhitu Liushahe, Liang Sicheng Luo Zhewen, Deng Pingxiang Li Jieren ... You will be surprised to find that this person not only knows the focal length and light, but also has a profound knowledge, a vast range of knowledge, and an astonishing memory.
No wonder one day, the famous writer and publisher Wu Hong pointed to Cui Wei, who was slightly drunk, and said to a group of big cultural people from Beijing: "Don't think that Sichuan people can only drink and play mahjong, everyone here is a cultural person, such as Cui Ge..." Of course, Wu Hong also named me.
Seven
Cui Wei loves to sing and is full of musical cells.
When others sing, they go to which slope and which song they sing.
Unlike Cui Wei, he loves three songs the most in his life. After the three songs were sung, they were almost exhausted, and then they sat silently and listened to the songs of other friends.
The first song is Yan Weiwen singing "Little Poplar", although Cui Wei has not been a soldier, but he has a military complex, "A small poplar, growing next to the outpost, deep roots, strong, watching the northern frontier ..." The thick song seems to be able to melt the snow at the border pass. One year, Liang Shangquan, a famous poet and author of "Little Poplar", mailed me two pages of Dujiangyan poems that he inscribed on antique letterheads, the pen is old enough and the foundation is profound, I know that Cui Wei loves "Little Poplar" deeply, so after copying it, I and Cui Wei brother have an original work, a copy, and treasure it to this day. Whenever Cui Wei sang "Little Poplar", I couldn't help but think of this past and the friendship witnessed by that letter.
The second song is "Hong yan" sung by Hu Silen. As mentioned earlier, Cui Wei is a person with humanistic feelings, always easy to feel lyrical, he sang in a sad tone: "Hongyan, in the sky, the pair is lined up, the river is long, the grass is yellow, the piano on the grassland is sad..." While making a flying shape with his hands, he took off, how devoted he was, and if he wanted to go away against the wind. I can't help but think of the sentence in "Remembering Li Bai at the End of Heaven" that Du Fu did when he missed Li Bai: "When will the hongyan arrive, and there are many rivers and lakes and autumn waters." ”
The third song is "Mother" sung by Yan Weiwen, and when singing this song, Cui Wei is extremely respectful, because this is a song dedicated to his mother, not only his mother, but also the mother of the people of the world. "Your new school bag, someone will give it to you..." Whenever I hear Cui Wei sing the first sentence of this song affectionately, I can't help but feel excited.
And the song continues, "Your flowers in the rain fold umbrella, someone gives you a beating; you love to eat three fresh fillings, someone gives you a bag..." In the song, Cui Wei seems to have returned to the years when she was accompanied by her mother. At that time, his mother hoped that Cui Wei would read more books, continue to learn and progress, and save money and use to order him newspapers and periodicals such as "Radio", "Calligraphy", and "Eight Hours Away". "You're in (that) country, and someone is worried; you go back to your house and someone makes hot tea; you're lying in (that) hospital bed, and someone sheds tears." Cui Wei's eyes returned to the bookshelf, which had a copy of the Calligraphy Dictionary that his mother bought for him, priced at 18 yuan, which was in the 1980s, which was a sky-high price. Cui Wei secretly went to the bookstore many times, but he was not willing to buy it. But one day, a thick copy of the Great Dictionary of Calligraphy was placed in front of Cui Wei.
What a warm and moving scene it was. In the melody, the mother seems to return to Cui Wei's side. That day, at a private gathering of friends, Cui Wei sang "Mother" again, and I couldn't help but write these sentences:
Listen to Cui Wei sing "Mother"
The posture of being trapped in the sofa all the time
Suddenly he stood up respectfully
At this point, you hold the microphone in your hand and concentrate
Take a deep breath into your lungs
With the loudest voice, sing: Mother
Actually, you are trying to use the loudest voice
Take the mother who has been away for many years, step by step
Shout back, shout back to the home that has been relocated many times
Use "more" to hand the mother a towel
Use "Rui" to bring a chair for your mother
Serve your mother a bowl of hot rice with "mi"
Use the "so" to bring a basin of foot-washing water for the mother
Use "hair" to count the green silk on the mother's head
Counting the number of gray hair is less
Counting and counting, the tears came
As listeners, we were also in four and a half minutes
Hurried back home and looked at his mother
When they returned, they were all in tears
split open
Later, Cui Wei and I visited Mr. Zhang Daqian's disciple Lei Liangyu as a teacher.
We became division brothers for the second time.
Cui Wei and Wang Guoping bai Lei Liangyu took a group photo for the division
After visiting the teacher, I was entangled in mundane affairs, and I rarely had the opportunity to ask Teacher Lei for help. Cui Wei often went to Study with Teacher Lei, because he had a solid foundation in calligraphy, coupled with his superb level of appreciation and hard work, his painting level was strong.
In recent years, in addition to his work in the busy Yanglian Society and the Book Association, Cui Wei's works have frequently participated in domestic and foreign exhibitions, which have been well received, which can be called an elegant thing for the combination of calligraphy and painting.
Not long ago, the sheep brother Meiyi on the Chengxue Mountain, "Qiang Literature" was sealed second as my reading series, and the third was Cui Wei's calligraphy and painting series, whose calligraphy style was clean and upright, his skills were profound, the paintings were ethereal and ethereal, and the fragrance came from it, and the readers showed great attention and interest. And we echoed in the publications of the same period, witnessing friendship and rejoicing.
At the end of each year, Cui Wei always reminds me: "Go, go and pay homage to Teacher Lei." ”
Then, we caught two fat hens and went to visit Teacher Lei Liangyu, who was 96 years old, on a chilly afternoon. In Teacher Lei's home full of ink fragrance, Cui Wei respectfully handed over his new work and asked the teacher to comment, that humility, persistence, seriousness and respect, so that many people today can't help but secretly wipe sweat.
Nine
It is Cui Wei's humanistic feelings that make his works give a fuller human light and cultural complex, and it is his extensive knowledge that lays a solid foundation for his photography, calligraphy and writing to move towards a more distant world.
"Kung Fu is outside the poem", this statement is true.
Even when used in photography and calligraphy, it is also very appropriate and appropriate.
Because of how broad your mind is and how wide your field of vision is, how open your lens and brushstrokes will be.
Otherwise, even if you buy the most expensive wide-angle lens and put Wang Xizhi's used pen and ink on your bookcase, you will not be able to shoot the vicissitudes of history and the smoke clouds of the past, nor can you write the changes of the years and the fullness of life.
Ten
Finally, I would like to say.
Today, when the threshold of photography and calligraphy is getting lower and lower, when the photographic equipment is becoming more and more advanced, when everyone is a photographer and calligrapher, the humanistic spirit that permeates Cui Wei has become a huge watershed for excellent artists and ordinary enthusiasts, just like the Fish Mouth WaterShed that has survived for thousands of years, easily dividing the Minjiang River into the Inner River and the Outer River.
When the lens is frozen in an instant, Cui Wei is still running in the focal length of history and reality.
