"Liangshan Ce" flocked

Text/Niu Hongqi

Speaking of. You may not believe it. Most of the factors in my shooting of "Liangshan Celebrate" are derived from horses. When I was a kid, I was playful and courageous. When I was negligent, I was stunned by the horse. I was unconscious for more than half an hour before I woke up. From then on, I may be afraid of horses and hate horses. I do n’t know if I love horses.

Ma'er walked from the southwest to the northwest, and from Daliangshan to Yushan. It was taken in Haiyuan County in September 2019.

Another part of the shooting "Liangshan Ce" was inspired by the Liangshan Malaysia Gang. In the winter of 2012, I repeatedly encountered a horse gang from the Liang Liangshan to Guyuan. During the shooting, I saw the lifestyle of the Yi people, listened to the landforms and climate of Daliangshan. Essence After many years, in the fall of 2019, I met in the Mountains in Haiyuan County and met the gang from Da Liangshan, and followed the shooting.

They went in and out of Shi Lane, in the forest of the stone. It was taken in Mu Li County in March 2021.

After the team of the horse gang, I returned to Daliangshan, and soon I also arrived in Daliangshan. Not only did I visit the horse gang friends I met in the later period, followed them up the mountain, down the ground, and hurried, but also found the horse gang friends I met early. With the rapid development of the times, the machinery replaced the hard work, and there were fewer and fewer jobs in the horse gangs. Some of them were no longer helping. However, through contact with them, through visiting Daliangshan, I have the idea of ​​filming "Liangshan Celebrate".

Most of the livestock in the horse gangs are mules, but few people do not treat them as horses. It was taken in Mu Li County in March 2021.

Liangshan used to be relatively lagging behind, but with the development of recent years, from the way of food, food, housing, and labor, from cultural exchange to network information, it has changed dramatically. They maintained innocence and quaint, adhered to ancient etiquette and customs, but they continued to change towards modern life consciously or unconsciously with the development of the times. I feel that it is necessary to use the recording of this transition period to record the video materials during this period. So, within two years, I entered Daliangshan again and again, and the Daliangshan horse gang I used to shoot before has "Liangshan Celebration".

Regarding "Liangshan Celebration", I cooked it intermittently for nearly ten years. I wanted to let it cook it again, but I was afraid that I would cook the porridge to leak the gas in the steamer. After all, people's energy is limited. I have accumulated a lot of materials at hand, and I have accumulated a lot of equally important jobs. I have to choose this far -reaching work.

As usual, I shouldn't have the work of Xisu's self -retained land and go to the Liang Liangshan for thousands of miles away. But another thought, literature has no boundaries, and photography is not far away from neighbors.

Besides, people who are almost sixty years old are almost sixty, the text does not wait, the photos in the hard disk are rare, and the memory, speculation, and creative passion are different. Do a little less, less, easier.

As far as photography is concerned, the works of Da Liangshan have been common before, and many people are still being photographed now. If you go to shoot again, there must be many places that are difficult for yourself. You have to make a new question and have to come out. This is difficult.

Moreover, the natural environment of Liangshan Prefecture is complicated and the state of life is complicated. It is contrary to the "One Qing Erjing" poeticism that I often use.

However, since I decided to do the living stubble left many years ago, it was difficult to go.

Because the horse in my mind still stood solemnly.

After I went to Daliang Mountain a few times, I felt that I was not deep enough, so I went a few more times. When you go to the last ten days and a half months, you will stay more for a while. Fortunately, every time you go, you can get unexpected gains.

In the search again and again, I felt at ease and enjoyed it, as if I saw myself from behind, as if I met with the horse in my mind, fate, and walked into the grassland together.

Think about it, this is really the case.

At the young age of Jiyangzong, he has the desire to span the horse. It was taken in Muri County in May 2021.

Seriously, Liangshan Prefecture is not as fallen as expected, nor of Liangshan people is not without temperament. Everyone who knows the Liangshan people, men are hardworking and simple, sincere and straightforward, women are beautiful and beautiful, such as Su Yi Mingxing. In contact with them again and again, I was moved by their selflessness and kindness many times. Ma has an extraordinary physical strength, but there are also time to be crushed. It was taken in Haiyuan County in September 2019.

Several times, when I took a picture of them, I thought of Lu Nan's "Four Seasons" and Xie Hailong's "Big Eyes". When talking with them, I suddenly remembered the "闰 好" and "Chamilia" in Emmef's writing. At this time, I could only smoke silently, and let the off -run horse rushing in my mind. For a while I even felt that I didn't know how to objectively and accurately present their living conditions and their life emotions.

Having said that, "Liangshan Celebrate" is the process of messenging in my mind, and I feel that I feel the combination of three reins explored from my mind. According to the three reins, I divided the graphic into three chapters: "Liu Lan · Liu Nian", "Malaysia to the North" and "Oda Village". These three chapters are combinations of different perspectives, lines, and points, and they constitute 30 sections of different points, lines, and surfaces.

The fundamental of artistic creation lies in people. I think, no matter how they divide the chapters, they must be described as the appearance and people -oriented.
