BingJie: Poetry double Bi and lead the way

Text/quartz

On August 30, 1994, Bing Jie came to Beijing from her hometown in Hunan. This young talent of Chutian Xiangshui, with his intelligent, diligent and adaptable nature, gradually integrated into the metropolis of 20 million people in Beijing. After college life, workplace tempering, amateur poetry creation, especially the multiple struggles in the world of songwriting, he can be said to be quite thoroughly familiar with the living environment, stretching space, and better understanding of self-worth. It should be said that the value of his life has been continuously improved, and his responsibility and contribution to society are also complementarily increasing with the times.

Lingxiu is humble and enterprising

Bing Jie combines outstanding famous poets and remarkable famous lyricists, and does a lot of social work related to this, busy all day, but methodical; he is enterprising, but not impetuous. There are not only tens of millions of young offspring who have come to Beijing from other provinces and cities to break into the world, success and desolation; among them, there are also those who are famous for a while and those who have passed the smoke and clouds, but Bingjie has resolutely moved forward with his own unique endowment, self-reliant character and special style, and has opened up a steady and solid and reliable road to success. People who are familiar with Bingjie may have read his poetry and appreciated his lyrics, but they may not know his temperament, skill and journey to success. In fact, these are very important. This is of great significance for everyone, especially young people whose experiences are similar to those of them. Proper understanding of this is worth no less than the achievements he has achieved. Just like a tree, people must not only praise how fruitful the flowers and fruits are, but also understand the trunk and even the root whiskers of the tree. It should be said that this is a completely interdependent whole.

I have been following Bingjie's growth and creation for over 25 years. On a fortuitous occasion, I met this brilliant poet and lyricist who was handsome and humble. In the subsequent contacts, I experienced his enthusiasm and seriousness for his work, his unremitting pursuit of poetry art, and his perseverance and determination in the face of difficulties. What is even more valuable is that he truly practiced the victorious law of "keeping pace with the times". He is good at judging the hour and sizing up the situation, constantly adjusting his direction of advancement, so as to grasp the objective and discover himself in time. He can persevere, but he is never stubborn; he does not hesitate to change his ways, but he is afraid of blindness. When amateur creation is mainly poetry and timely "turn" to the lyrics, it is best to reflect the excellent qualities and wise vision of Bingjie. After more than 20 years of sober efforts, he has made great progress and considerable "achievements" in the creation of lyrics. It should be said that he has stepped onto a new level in the "index" of comprehensive artistic creation.

However, I still did not neglect and did not give up my interest in ice poetry. This is not only because I have paid full attention to his amateur poetry creation in the past 25 years; but also because poetry is the cornerstone and soul of all literary creation, the source of the meaning of all literary works, and the essence of all literary styles. The reason why his lyric works are different from ordinary mediocre works in some aspects, and why they are very deliberate and boring, cannot but be attributed to the artistic foundation of his long-term poetry creation.

Stick to the style and don't follow the trend

The main reason why I first paid attention to Bingjie's poetry was that in the wave of "fashion" in which new poems were unprecedentedly "diverse", unprecedentedly foreign, and unprecedentedly incomprehensible, he was able to adhere to the proper style and the true meaning of art, never blindly followed the trend, did not blindly look at the "market", and wrote his poems that were both traditional and modern, with both the charm of poetry and the atmosphere of the times, which was quite rare for him who was not yet at the age of "standing". To this end, I have discussed his poetry from at least 10 occasions from different angles, some forewords to his poetry collections, and some special review articles. To this day, I still believe that his persistence and creation are completely correct, and in the future it will prove the correctness of his creative path.

Another important aspect of bingjie's poetry that I value is that he attaches great importance to the literary nature of poetry, that is, the higher artistic level. Supposedly, this would have been a non-problem. Poetry, which is originally the most refined literary style, is a highly condensed language art. But unfortunately, in recent years, some non-poetic factors have "made" poems that have become "fashionable" and even popular. Obscurity and chaos are a manifestation, and the "free poetry" of the plain tastelessness of eating, drinking, and sleeping in the form of a running account, which is not even a branch of prose, fills the pages of publications and even some newspapers. Bing Jie has not been infected by this abnormal factor from beginning to end, and he soberly adheres to the true art of poetry as a treasure, insisting on writing the beauty of poetry and the rhyme of language. This is not only for poetry, but for a person with lofty ideals who has trekked on the road of literature, it is undoubtedly a mountain spring in the distance, a negative ion in the air, and a true writer and poet must not ignore it. Bing Jie has never given up on this pursuit, which should naturally benefit him for life no matter what form of creation he is engaged in today or even in the future.

I also found another highlight in his poems, namely that he consciously or unconsciously noticed the rhythm and rhythm of the new poems. This is also rare. There is a misunderstanding that many people often do not recognize its drawbacks, that is, some people will feel that new poetry is completely free poetry, willing to write as much as they want, where to write, how can it be like ancient poetry to emphasize rhythm and rhythm? In fact, the new poem does not have so many strict prescriptiveness in its superficial form, and it seems that it is completely comfortable and arbitrary. But this does not mean that it should not have an inner rhythm, no sense of rhythm in language. In a sense, it is not deliberately "composed" poetry, but is determined by the rhythmic beauty of language and the "emotional waves" of people. It's just that some people ignore it, or don't realize it at all. But I think Bingjie noticed. No matter how relaxed and "free" his poems are in external form, they are controlled, not completely disordered, and the inner rhythms and rhythms are more demanding and consciously aware. This fully shows that no matter where a poet belongs, he should pay attention to the inner rhythm and rhythmic beauty of the Chinese language. At this point, I think it is a necessary foundation for Bingjie's later "transformation" into lyric creation.

In order to confirm the above statement, I will only quote some of the poems of Bingjie to let more readers understand -

"Spring china / The noonday sun crosses the river / Cooking smoke passes through the sky and is choked by thoughts", and "happiness will come to China in a large area".

Is his poem easy to understand? It should be said that it is very easy to understand. However, his poems are by no means plain, but implicit, implicit, and deeply connotative. The combination of images is not only free, but also very ingenious. From the perspective of "artistic conception", his poems are definitely an extension and development of the charm of classical poetry; however, they are by no means ancient and difficult, and are very much in line with the aesthetic tastes and reading habits of modern people, so I have always believed that Bingjie's poetry is a clever fit between classical beauty and modern life flow.

"Flowers in sleep / Hear what the birds want to express / Rush from far away" "Silent black yaks / Facing the reflection of the lake / Chewing on a name that has taken away the century / The river carries the sorrow of the mountain villages / Sweeping with the wind to both sides / The Great Wall / Nestled on the shoulders of Wanshan / Thinking intently" ("Spring Remembrance").

Reading a verse like Bingjie's, it is natural to think that he seems to naturally abandon that kind of empty concept, but always appeals to clear and accurate concreteness—the beautiful and unconventional concreteness that has been selected. The above quote is a poem in memory of the great man Deng Xiaoping who passed away. But the poet has no empty, generalized eulogy, and that sense of truth is completely through the imagery caused by what the poet sees in front of his eyes and thinks in his heart, which reveals that the poet still has no lack of beauty in his sadness. The fact is that the beautiful verse is the externalization of the beautiful feeling in the poet's chest, which is always opposed to the vulgar and vulgar mentality; even if the poet denounces ugly things, the intentions and feelings that overflow from the words and lines are still the yearning for beauty and the unswerving and strong pursuit of justice on earth. It is not difficult to see this unity of inner and outer in bingjie poetry.

"In order to put the hearts of the patchwork of rural China / Tidy up the wind and rain / And the back of the sweat of a lifetime / It is tired and full of light / With the strength of time / Summoning China to move forward steadily with characteristics" ("Nostalgia for Spring").

The novelty, strangeness and beauty of the image are always the favorites of poets who pursue poetic beauty, but if they can achieve it without being blunt and not being difficult, and achieving nature, ease and self-sufficiency, it is not so easy. In some of Bingjie's representative poems, there are excellent performances in this regard. As above, "patchwork villages" can be described as a phrase with multiple meanings. It is not only a portrait of the shape of China's countryside, but also a metaphor with complex and multi-meaning connotations. But the image is very precise, coincidentally made of its own. "Smooth wind and rain" is not only an indispensable weather to ensure a good harvest of crops, but also a hope for the smoothing out of social problems. This phrase can be described as easy to hand, and "tightly sewn", to the extent that it cannot be replaced. "Tired and full of light", connecting two things that do not seem to fit into the boundary, shows that the language is vulgar and shallow, surprisingly successful, and strengthens the strength of the verse. In addition, Bing Jie can skillfully translate the sentences of the original concept into poetry. "Calling China to move forward steadily with characteristics", the word order is slightly changed, and it becomes a living verse.

Originally, a good poem does not exclude intellectual philosophy. The key is to be subtle but not explicit, deep and avoid superficiality, which can produce a sense of caution and wisdom for the reader. And bingjie's kind of verses are often catchy, full of rhythmic reading, and there is no such thing as pimples and lack of legs and broken arms in some poems. By rhyme and rhythm, I do not require the author of a new poem to know how to rhyme. No. The clean free-form new poems rarely rhyme, but it cannot be said that they are less rhymed. His strength lies in the fact that he can often limit absolute arbitrariness in "freedom", but he is catchy in not deliberately paying attention to rhyme. It should be said that this inner rhythm and rhythm is more difficult to do; but if it is done well, the beauty of the new poem can be more prominent and vivid, and it is more atmospheric in comfort.

Poetry is not new and unwilling

There are people who love classical poetry, often exclaim: "There are too few new poems worth carefully tasting and repeating verses!" This statement, from one aspect, cannot be said to be unreasonable. Tasteful and readable, it is indeed the strength and advantage of the classic works in classical poetry. However, this does not mean that modern and contemporary Chinese poetry does not have such verses, which is obviously unrealistic. I think that the best sentences and aphorisms in Bingjie's poems, and the verses that deserve to be savored repeatedly are not individual, or even abound, and the examples of this are not only necessary to promote Bingjie's poetry, but also have a great relationship with the establishment of the confidence of the majority of poets and readers.

"Whoever carries water across a coat / becomes an allusion to leaving home / A different kind of sunshine / Can it reflect the original appearance" - see Bing Jie's "Asking Macao - Congratulations to the Countdown to the Return of Macao".

A few words, all out of the ordinary. New is undoubtedly a talent, especially for poetry, how can there be no new poetry? How to be worthy of the title of poet! When I read Bingjie's poems, like him, I always have a strong desire that poetry will not be new.

"Who is homesick as a rock and melancholy / Put cooking smoke on a tall building for a long time / Talk about the scenery / Always bring the yiyi of the hometown / Willow into the topic" ("Ask Macao").

At first reading such verses, it seems that there is a slight pity; however, the longer the repression, the more one hopes for change; the deeper the sorrow, the more joyful it is to return. Thus, in this poem "Percussion of Macao", the poet's fiery verse bursts from his chest, and the sentences are pearls of tears of joy: "Who has experienced the wind and rain and vicissitudes / Still uses the wind of the strait / Search for the good date of the sweet fragrance / Calculate over and over again / The date of seeing the motherland again / The eyes are flowing / The gaze that has been longing for a long time."

Such verses are completely condensed by the painstaking efforts and wisdom of the poet, which is naturally resistant to reading and durable, and the aftertaste is thick. I rarely talk to Bing Jie about the formation of his poetic cultivation, but it can be inferred from the practice of his works that he must have read many traditional excellent poetry works since he was a child, and he has drawn valuable nutrition from them. However, "turning" this nutrition into one's new poetry creation is another qualitative leap!

Poetic refinement is wise

Life and the essence of life will always be the essential wealth of writers. Poetry is certainly no exception. However, there is still a certain difference between the specific understanding of the subject of "life" in the past and the present. In the past, to a large extent, the understanding was basically limited to "experiencing", or staying in that area of life (factory or rural, etc.). This certainly has its right and reasonable ingredients. However, after several years of in-depth thinking, in addition to acknowledging the correct components of the above, some readers also pay attention to the understanding of the essential meaning of life, the deep experience of life, and more importantly, the screening and refinement of life. Because, not all aspects of life can enter the field of literature artistically, let alone enter the writer's pen? It must be admitted that there is a distinction between value and valuelessness in the aspect of life, and not any phenomenon of life is worth spending so much effort to refine art. Although we do not advocate deliberate flattery, we are not opposed to writers and poets "cleverly" absorbing the most valuable aspects of life and refining poetic life with the most affection. In this regard, Bing Jie has done a very decent and wise job. As far as I have read some of his poems that reflect the countryside of his hometown, such as "Distant Village", "Peasant", "Farm Tools", "Wooden Plough", "Flat Burden", "Cooking Tobacco", "Fishing Village", "Hometown in Dreams", "Hometown Fun", "Mountain Hanzi", "Mother's Love Like a River", "Father's Love Like a Song", "Hometown People", "Hometown Mountains", "Hometown Water", and so on, all rural pictures are silent poems that have been artistically refined, and all the characters are poetic "the most real people." I say it "most authentically" because it embodies in them the essential truth of life. For example, he wrote about the common sycamore in the countryside, and the image he wrote was: "The scorching sun monopolizes the sky / often stretches out the lush foliage / Supports a green shade in a hurry of wind and shadow / The bare winter runs rampant / Always stands up / Covers the snow and frost all the way / Even if the branches and leaves fall / It must present a deep landscape / Will dry up and destroy the feet / Give birth to new ideas for the coming year."

In literature, especially in the relationship between poetry and life, although I have not seen Bing Jie's theoretical discussion, through a large number of poems, in fact he has already made an interpretation, and it is a very deep interpretation.

As for Bingjie poetry, a prominent advantage in artistic expression, the poetic language, it has actually been dabbled in earlier, but there is still a need to emphasize it in particular. Because we often see that some poets are not without good ideas, and even talk to people about it when they are not yet completed, they are still a little moving, but when they read it after the end, they are greatly less interested. The main reason for this is that the language is not expressive enough or even relatively pale. Therefore, he had a good idea in vain, but he failed to be caught in the poetry. The language use of Bingjie poetry is quite skillful, and sometimes it is not difficult to see a kind of ease and calmness. It should be said that he was creative in the use of poetic language. With the use of synaesthesia, he can often reach the point where it is natural without leaving welding gaps. Here are just two examples:

"She likes to play her melody with the stream / Build village after village / and set up the granary / She not only grasps the laws of wind and rain and thunder / but also masters the changes of the seasons / Always works tirelessly to plant the scattered children / Let the crooked footprints open on the side of the road / ... / The length of the earth as warm as the sun / The kindness of the rain / She can relieve melancholy and arms with wine / and comfort the tiredness and dreams of the wanderer" ("Dream Hometown").

"Dewdrops are patted down by the moving gestures of the morning sun / The veins of all the rivers that go forward gradually become clear /... / All kinds of warm and healthy roads / Stretching towards the dawn / ... / The forest is bathed in sunshine and the birds are chirping like music / The river is gently swaying in boats / Pigeons are circling in the blue sky / ... / The land is like a bright singing voice / Every flower Every tree / And the dwarf bushes / All weaving dance steps with roots and whiskers" (Reading October).

In short, as a good poet, his achievements in poetry are obvious and cannot be underestimated. Real gold always has to shine, and even has been shining all along. Fortunately, as mentioned earlier, Bingjie is not very "watching the market" on the road of endeavor, as long as he is willing to do it, and what he does is meaningful, beneficial to society, and beneficial to life, he will do it without hesitation. Because of this, around 2001, there were accidental reasons and inevitable factors, he became acquainted with the music industry, and through the careful guidance and vigorous help of Liu Qinming, a judge of the "Five Ones Project" award of the Central Propaganda Department and the former executive deputy editor of the "Dictionary Journal", he showed his skills in the word world, and soon became popular with famous domestic musicians and CCTV and provincial satellite television, and his influence was very wide. In the past 20 years, Bing jie has also attracted much attention for Yan Weiwen, Zhang Ye, Mao Amin, Fan Jingma, Lü Jihong, Wu Bixia, Lei Jia, Shi Yijie, Liu Hegang, Wang Lida, Wang Zhengliang, Arua Zhuo, Wang Erni, Ulantoya, Ulantuya, Yangjin Lanze, Cao Ying, Wang Han, Tian Liang, Solang Tashi, Liu Dacheng and other big-name stars singing his new songs. This means that he is entering the stage of "fire" in the creation of lyrics.

Undoubtedly, Bingjie's increasingly prosperous achievements in the world of words are the result of the natural "transformation" and inevitable sublimation that he has accumulated in poetry creation since childhood. Although his advantages in lyrics are multifaceted, I think his most unique advantage is that he has been "at the bottom" of poetic art for nearly 30 years, and the cushion is very thick. In this way, it is no accident that he quickly entered a higher realm in the world of words. It can even be said that his lyric creation is a continuation of the more brilliant achievements of poetry, and it is destined that the duality of words and poetry is the inevitable success of his creative destiny. And I can also predict that some of the embryos he has not yet had time to be born in the mother of poetry will be brilliant in the form of lyrics. At the same time, this, in turn, reflects his poetic art, which naturally prompts him not to disappear in the poetry world; when he reappears, he will surely ascend to a new level!

Words are poems that are sung

Bingjie's great realm, high style, main melody, and heavy artistic style in his lyrics are the essence of his life, which is of course due to the needs of the times and the responsibility of the writer, and it is also the main requirement of his inner body, everything comes from his heart. Thus, the call of the times and the strong desires of individuals have reached a high degree of unity. In this regard, Bingjie's brand work "Hymn of Happiness", as the first song of the Lunar New Year, appeared at the 2011 CCTV Spring Festival Gala, sung by Yan Weiwen and Zhang Ye, and received the attention of Chinese people around the world. Bingjie also became popular all over the country overnight because of the 2011 CCTV Spring Festival Gala. This song has become the best of the main melody songs with its beautiful style, songwriting and singing beauty. It should be said that Bingjie's lyrics are also poems, but compared with poems that emphasize subtle artistic conception, they are clearer and more sonorous, and closer to people's hearing. But in terms of rhyme, his lyrics are not ignored, but only reflect the rhyme in the fluency of understanding, which in a sense requires more difficult skills. Please see - "The gongs and drums of celebration sound the music of happiness / Blessings and thousands of homes Peaceful and auspicious / Applause and laughter Gather together / How beautiful life is and light up the mood // Our homeland is a picturesque place / Good mountains and good waters, good days, good luck is long and long / Let hope fly on the land of China / Let the brilliant sunshine sprinkle all over the heavens on earth" ("Hymn to Happiness").

"You travel through thick and thin / Work tirelessly for the people / / You run day and night / Visit the poor and warm people's hearts / / You sleep and eat restlessly / Walk the streets and alleys to comfort the people / / A string of footprints / Record your busy back" ("Servant of the People").

"No matter how many vicissitudes she experiences / she leads the rivers / Plays the music of endless wind and rain / / No matter how many ups and downs she experiences / she summons the years / heroically runs to the front of the revival" ("The Answer").

"The wind blows through the majestic mountains / The forest is dyed A vast / Unforgettable eyes For you to softly / The ideal road to walk together" ("Maple Leaves Red").

"Flying with Love, Longing for the Distance / Walking with Dreams, Returning to the Road Frankly / Watching Is As Long as the Night / Affection as Mellow as Wine" ("Flying with Love").

Somehow, I read these representative lyrics of Bingjie, and naturally associated with his poems, perhaps I was too familiar with his poems, loved Wu and Wu, and felt very kind to his lyrics. It can be said that his lyrics are the lyrics of the poet; his lyrics are also the poems that are sung. It is conceivable that such a charming, deeply beautiful lyrics will undoubtedly have a very long-lasting vitality.

It must be clearly pointed out that there are many main theme poems similar to the great realm, high style, and heavy rhyme, and on the "menu" of Bingjie's creation for more than 20 years, they are dazzling and beautiful. For example, "Five-Star Red Flag", "Still Look at the Present Dynasty", "Proud for You - Dedicated to the Great Motherland", "China is the Flower Season", "The National Anthem Sounds", "Lovely China", "Jiangshan Duojiao", "China in the Sunshine", "Chinese Style", "Sons and Daughters of China", "Backbone of the Republic", "Red Boat of the South Lake", "Jinggang Mountain", "Yan'an", "Xibaipo", "Sunshine Road", "Great Wall", "Yangtze River", "Yellow River" and "Commemoration of an Indomitable", etc., all of which have great taste and unique characteristics. Almost every capital is worthy of the times, showing the seriousness of the poetry writer's creation and the richness of artistic tone.

Focus on the times of success

It can be seen that the "main theme" poem written by Bing Jie also adheres to the eternity of art in subjective consciousness, and only in this way can it have classical value. Although not every capital may reach this realm, Bingjie's poetry creation is undoubtedly climbing to this realm, and he will never be satisfied with just "cooperating with the task", but regard this "big task" as a lifelong goal of effort, and pave a shining road with his lifelong artistic life.

Moreover, his attention to the times is not limited to the praise of major events and major events, as long as it is a topic of healthy style in social life and people's spiritual world, Bingjie is mostly involved, and he has invested great enthusiasm. For example, in today's society, he also produced very influential poems. For example, "Shoulder draped in clouds, watch the flowers fall with the flow of water / Dance and rotate like smoke / / / Veil as thin as a cicada wing / Reveal your gentle face / The autumn water of the two West Lakes Ripples / Eyebrows like green mountains Look back / You smile like a flower / Laughter like spring water / Fall from between your shell teeth" ("Mountain Eyebrow Water Eye"); or, "Wait for the wind to come, wait for the flowers to bloom into the sea / The wind brings you / Waiting for your shallow smile to be in the branches //....../ Waiting for the wind to come Long-term longing / Like green rhymes Over thousands of rivers and mountains / Your smiling face / Is the flower I yearn for a good full moon" ("Waiting for the Wind to Come")," as in yet, "The Broken Bridge Is Not Beautiful / Just Because the Story That Happened on the Broken Bridge Is Heartbreaking / The Flowing Water Is the Tear of the Broken Bridge //.../After a Thousand Years/The People Who Come and Go on the Broken Bridge Are Passers-by/Meet And Look Back/Someone Repairs the Frontier/Someone Leaves Regrets" ("Broken Bridge").

Such works, such words, best express the other side of the artistic temperament of this talented young poet and songwriter. Facts have proved that he is not only comfortable in creating magnificent, heroic and high-pitched poems, but also in the creation of delicate and gentle, tender and watery style works. Originally, all the roads leading to literature and art would never be narrow and monotonous and could only be passed sideways. And this pluralism, richness and openness is not due to the author's subjective deliberate intentions, but is actually the product of his realm, endowments and the requirements of objective life. This is an unquestionable law, and it is also a very natural thing. Not only that, Bing Jie is also a leading trend in the lyrics of Mintong songs. The songs written by him, composed by big-name composers, and sung by many big names and popular singers in China also have a mellow charm. In the world of his lyrics, there are stage plays, solemn and profound plays, operettas, and humorous entertainment plays. If you take the pen and ink, he has several pens, and the ink is divided into five colors, which can paint different types of paintings. It was only in the past 20 years that his lyrics shifted to the aspect of the strong tone of the times that was widely concerned, and quickly achieved unprecedented success. In fact, as early as 2003, the song "You Are My Sunshine" composed by him won the "10th Global Chinese Music Chart" competition and won the "Best Folk Song Award", which is admired by many people. In addition, "Home for the New Year" (Xu Yang, Cao Ying, Wang Han, Wang Zhengliang, Chen Kasa, Tian Liang, Ye Yiqian), appeared in four sessions (2002, 2004, 2006, 2014) Hunan Satellite TV Spring Festival Gala, "Reunion" (ye Fan singing) debuted in the 2003 Hunan Satellite TV "Chuxiang Style" Spring Festival Gala, "Di Ge" (sung by Aru Azhuo) appeared in the 2017 Hunan Satellite TV Spring Festival Gala, "Meet Happy" (Ulantoya sang) appeared in the 2017 CCTV Farmers' Spring Festival Gala, "Happiness Praise" (Wu Yanning singing) debuted at the 2018 Hunan Satellite TV Spring Festival Gala, "Shi Soul (also known as "A Lesson in a Thousand Autumns") (sung by Lei Jia) won the "Best Music Award" of the 2nd China Golden Kite International Micro Film Competition, "Servant of the People" (sung by Zhang Ye) became the theme song of the large-scale TV feature film "Grassland Monument - Niu Yuru" jointly produced by the Central Propaganda Department, the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection and the Central Organization Department, and the lyrics "Stand Up the Backbone" were "Beijing Evening News" After being published in a large page, it won the gold medal of the 2008 World Chinese Artists Commemoration of the 30th Anniversary of Reform and Opening-up Competition, the MV of "Xintiandi" sung by Zhang Yan became the first grassroots "party building" theme song filmed by CCTV, "Zun Dao Guide" (sung by Mao Amin) became the theme song of the opening ceremony party of the "International Taoist Forum" in 2011, "The Dearest Man" (sung by Zhang Ye) won the "2020 Global Art Peace" gold medal after becoming the theme song of the movie "I am from New York", and "The Most Dear one" (sung by Zhang Ye) won the "2020 Global Art Peace" gold medal after becoming the theme song of the movie "I am from New York", and ""The Most Dearest Man" (sung by Zhang Ye) won the "2020 Global Art Peace" gold medal after the theme song of the movie "I am from New York", and ""The Dearest Man" (sung by Zhang Ye) won the "2020 Global Art Peace" gold medal after the theme song of the movie "I am from New York", and ""The Dearest Man" (sung by Zhang Ye) won the "2020 Global Art Peace" gold medal after the theme song of the movie "I am from New York", and ""The Dearest Man" (sung by Zhang Ye) won the "2020 Global Art Peace" gold medal after the theme song of the movie Good Lang Good Sister Does Not Need Media" and "Di Ge" (sung by Yan Weiwen), "Follow In Your Footsteps" (sung by Wu Bixia), "Clouds Drifting from the Sky to The Hometown" (sung by Shi Yijie), "Answer" (sung by Liu Hegang), "Flying with Love" (sung by Zhong Mei), "Watching You Are My Song" (sung by Yang Jinlanze), "Wrang ma boy" (sung by Ulantoya), "Sunshine Girl" (sung by Solang Tashi), etc., are widely welcomed and sought after by the audience. In particular, in addition to the classic song "Hymn of Happiness", in addition to appearing at the 2011 CCTV Spring Festival Gala, it also appeared in dozens of evenings such as the 2012 CPC Central Lantern Festival Gala, CCTV-1 "Navigating China" - Welcoming the Victory of the Eighteenth National Congress of the Communist Party of China and Holding a Large-scale Thematic Literary and Art Evening".

The cultural genes are excellent

For the extraordinary achievements of this young and fruitful lyricist in the lyrics, Jiang Zengpei, winner of the Sixth China Taofen Publishing Award and a famous literary and art critic, commented: "Because of his concern for the fate of the country and the people, most of the expressions are the feelings for the motherland, the people, the hometown, the land, the times, the leaders, and the heroes. ”

It should be said that this evaluation is quite pertinent and captures the essence of Bingjie's creative "genes". If there are many shining points in his poetry, this phrase refers to its light source.

So, where is the source of this light source? I thought it all came from the fundamental starting point of the "Children of the Earth." Many years ago, I was thinking: Bing jie has come to the big city to work hard for so many years, but it is still not difficult to see that kind of flexible and simple, exciting but plain qualifications in him, why is this? Later, I can only attribute that he has an extremely good and strong spiritual and cultural "gene" - the hometown complex. This complex is the original ecology of all the truth, goodness and beauty in his creation, and it is very likely that there will be no "landslide erosion" in his lifetime.

In a certain sense, Bingjie's lyrics also have his affectionate memories, which is the natural expression of his love for his hometown as a naked child: "The mountains are still on the other side of the river / The sun is always brilliant / The peach blossoms contain dew and willow smoke / Only smell the oxback riding jade flute / The bamboo kasa robe is as simple as before / / The sweat polishes the blue sky / Spring, summer, autumn and winter sit in the painting / This is my homeland, a beautiful homeland / Let the wandering children dream of haunting the soul." Hometown is the "Beautiful Homeland" in his heart, and the land of China is full of prosperous and beautiful homes, so the inspiration for his creation will spring out from the depths of his soul.

As a poet and lyricist, Bingjie is in the ascendant of creative momentum, and the prospect is expected to be in the sky. Many people of insight are also paying attention to his future development path. Where to start to make it more solid, more upright, more aggressive? In my opinion, there is no need and there is no need to prescribe any "ten complete supplements" spiritual formula for this sincere and promising young talent. Because Bing Jie is a very assertive person.
