Classical Chinese of photographer's works

1. There are no ancient poems in the poem Describing the Photographer.

After all, the camera was invented only a few years ago. So I recommend the famous saying of photography.

Every photo is a specimen of time. The realm of anonymous photography, only playing with instruments, does not understand at all. Edison Chen's so-called "* * *" captures helplessness and the "moment" when two people are alone.

-Nobuyoshi Araki's "Walking in Tokyo" Look at the river, cherry blossoms are crying, and tears are reflected in the river. -Nobuyoshi Araki's "Walking in Tokyo" However, the so-called walking is the accumulation of accidental encounters.

-Nobuyoshi Araki's Walking in Tokyo takes photos like novels and writes novels like photos. -Nobuyoshi Araki's "Walking in Tokyo" Nothing in the world is particularly complicated. As long as you master the right method, everything becomes simple. The so-called trick is to do simple things to the extreme.

-Li Tao's "Master's Road to Digital Photography" was shot because of emotion, so don't deliberately pursue an image that has nothing to do with you. Even if the image is perfect, it is empty.-Anonymity When you don't aim at becoming a professional photographer, you will often shoot better than a professional photographer.-Anonymity In today's camera is so popular, more people are willing to shoot freely and keep pressing the shutter. If you can always find * * * from such repetition, I am very happy for you, because happiness comes so easily-an anonymous painter won't draw superfluous things in his paintings-Caravaggio's frame is friendly to painters, and without it, painters all over the world can't start writing.

For photographers, the picture frame is your imprisonment, and you must make a choice about the world based on it. And what you pay is always big, and what you leave behind can only be small.

The world is a river flowing in time, and only photography can stop the multi-dimensional world in an instant. Press the shutter, you will tell the world that you care, and what a person cares about will not only be related to photography.

When you know what a "box" is, how to "box" is no longer difficult to judge. Moving this "box" from one's own point of view and building a subjective world only belonging to oneself in it are different in technology, but different in consciousness.

For photography, you can make great efforts in both aspects, and you will gain something by focusing on either of them. If both are accepted, it is a master.

Your movie is dazzling not because of your camera, but because of your life! Useful photos are not just travel photos and good-looking recipes. In fact, a really good picture gives you a feeling. When you are no longer obsessed with meeting the standards of the world, you are a photographer, otherwise you are just a person who works for a camera manufacturer.

So how can we establish our own image standards? If the content of that photo is touching, it is enough for you to take a clear picture. Photography is a game of learning to give up, just like your life. You choose pain not because you know what you get, but because you know that when you get this thing, you need to give up more things. As the most important part of young memories, love and travel are the two most memorable topics. To become a traveler as soon as possible, let yourself leave those places that can make us feel safe and move towards the unknown.

The new continent often appears in the sight of travelers first. They set out with the courage of a one-way trip, just to discover a new world. You will see the tombstones of the victims when you pass by, but so what? Is it happiness to die at home? The outstanding feature of photography is that it provides us with a simpler and more convenient expression than literature, movies, painting, music and poetry to present our inner feelings.

Skills must serve the point of view, which is at least the basis of my personal thinking about photography. If you want to understand this vividly, you can study the works of Ander Cortez carefully and then compare the works of Bresson.

First of all, you will see many similarities. Secondly, you will find that the scenes and moments of the former works are more realistic than the latter. Compared with the former, many of Bresson's pictures will become meaningless if the shutter is not pressed at the right time. I never worry that my photos are not good enough, because this is my attitude towards life. If I had been used to an easy life, I wouldn't have seen the sharpness of social critics in the photos.

I'm not worried about my shooting skills. When one day I feel that I need to improve my skills in order to present my views perfectly, I believe I will naturally find a way that suits me. What I want to say is that when you pay more attention to the content itself, what kind of shooting skills you need to learn is no longer a problem.

If you want to ask me how to buy photographic equipment, this is the only answer I can give you.

2. The May 4th Movement (19 19), which urgently needed an abstract of Chinese and western wedding papers, completely broke away from the feudal tradition. Apart from overthrowing Confucian shops, abolishing imperial examinations, advocating schools, abolishing classical Chinese and advocating vernacular Chinese, there is also an extremely important revolution, that is, abolishing parents' orders and matchmakers' words.

Advocating free love and independent marriage, embodied in the wedding, is to implement "civilized marriage." The so-called civilized marriage is to give up the old wedding ceremony, such as the bride wearing a red headscarf, sitting in a sedan chair and dying, and change to the western bride wearing a wedding dress and the groom wearing a suit (or change to a Chinese tunic suit, robe and jacket).

This western-style civilized marriage is incomplete. For example, Western-style weddings will be held in churches and accepted by priests, so China people will not be able to adopt them. Japan is different. Japan's Meiji Restoration was a comprehensive study of the West, including weddings, but it was eclectic, not abandoning the old, but eclectic.

Western-style weddings should be held in churches, witnessed and baptized by priests, and then wedding parties should be held. After the ceremony, the groom took off his suit and put on a traditional dress, and the bride lifted her wedding dress and put on a traditional kimono. All manners are carried out in the traditional way.

We can imitate "one country, two systems" and call it "one ceremony, two systems". These two sets of weddings are all held with old-fashioned ceremonies. Of course, Japan is not limited to weddings, but also in other aspects. Unlike China, the old and the new are always at odds, which destroys many fine traditions that should not be destroyed. It is not good to discuss them here.

The old and new weddings in China are at loggerheads. There is no room for compromise. It is up to the parties to choose whether to adopt a new wedding or an old one. At first, the new wedding was a minority, and later it gradually replaced the old wedding, but in remote rural areas, the old wedding still exists.

My eldest brother was a teacher-training graduate in the1920s. He studied in a private school when he was a child. He has just been impacted by the May 4th Movement and accepted new things quickly, so he chose a new wedding, wearing a robe and a hat. The bride wears a wedding dress and takes wedding photos. At that time, choosing a new wedding was a bit shocking, because the concept of "giving and receiving without kissing" was still very tenacious. Therefore, after eldest brother got married, the couple went to the streets, eldest brother went first, followed by eldest sister-in-law, and dared not walk side by side, let alone arm in arm.

At that time, even Shanghainese didn't like westerners walking arm in arm, which was a derogatory term. When the second brother got married, probably because his parents didn't understand, the second brother's wedding resumed the old-fashioned wedding, including the impressive "seated" ceremony.

The so-called "seating" is the core part of traditional folk weddings. The content of traditional folk wedding is very complicated, which is best described as "red tape". To explain the banquet, we have to explain it comprehensively and briefly.

In traditional society, men and women don't know each other and lack communication opportunities, so the marriage process is all introduced and operated by professional intermediaries. First of all, the matchmaker gave the woman's birthday to the man, and the man asked the fortune teller to tell his fortune to see if the woman and the man hit it off. If they are harmonious, they will give up.

If there is no mutual agreement, it is called "harmony", and the idiom "harmony for a hundred years" is based on this. Then write down the man's birthday, and the matchmaker will go back and forth to discuss the amount of bride price and dowry and so on. And discuss the bride price, so that the man can send the corresponding gift to the woman conveniently and make the so-called "small decision" (called accepting talents in ancient times).

After the small ceremony, the two sides discussed the date of the "big ceremony", and the date of the big ceremony was selected by the man as "auspicious day". With the consent of the woman, the marriage was implemented. The gift given by Dading is much smaller than that given by Dading. After the woman receives the gift, she gives some of it to her relatives to show her friendship. This is called "wedding cake" (because it contains candy and sweets).

When the woman gets married, relatives and friends who receive the wedding cake will attend the "wedding ceremony". On the eve of the wedding, the man will ask someone to decorate the new house. On auspicious days, the woman's family will hold a wedding banquet at noon, entertain the harem and get married.

The man and his party went to the woman's house to celebrate their marriage, and the sedan chair stopped in front of the woman's lobby. At this time, the drums were deafening (professional "class blowing" drums were hired) and firecrackers exploded. Although the bride has finished dressing, she will delay time again and again and refuse to get on the sedan chair. Until sunset, her mother and daughter will "cry and marry" and then get on the sedan chair. A weeping marriage is not an affectation. My mother worked hard for more than ten years and finally raised her daughter. Once she wants to be separated from her daughter, she will never live together again. This emotional separation is inseparable, not to mention that her mother and daughter are sad and crying.

Even others will be sad. When the man receives the bride, he will hold a "three banquets", and the night before the wedding, he will hold a "wine order" (also called smoked sedan chair wine) to entertain relatives and friends.

On the night when the bride enters the door, she will hold a "banquet wine" and the next day, she will hold a "banquet wine". Whether it is banquet wine or banquet wine, it should be "positioned" with dance and music.

On the first day, the bride sat on the flower bridge and entered the door, accompanied by two bridesmaids (now bridesmaids). The bride and maid of honor have a series of dance moves, accompanied by music such as "Little Ancient Field" and "Little Door Opening". These dance moves are related to the details and rules of daily life, and the bride must handle them skillfully. After the dance, the banquet began. Accompanied by her aunt, the bride sat in the first place, and three relatives and six guests took their seats in turn.

On the second day of the bride's entrance, before the Chinese meal, she set out the wine to locate. The bride will take off her new makeup such as pearl crown, embroidered robe and headscarf, and wear a gown and long skirt instead, indicating that she will go out as the host and sit with Gu Jun (mother-in-law) and guests.

Li Zan announced the wedding procedure, and her mother-in-law gave the key to her daughter-in-law. The ceremony was very grand. In this process, the content of orientation dance is the same as that of accompanying aunt.

In order to win praise, the bride must learn these dance moves carefully before getting married, because guests often compare the bride's moves with their aunts to avoid being dwarfed. The bride's excellent dance brought a full house of applause, which is the whole positioning.

After the dance, a banquet will be held. At this time, the bride takes a seat and toasts the guests one by one.

This ancient wedding in Wenzhou is said to come from the "wedding" in Family Gifts written by Zhu in the Song Dynasty, including seven items: discussing marriage, receiving gifts, welcoming relatives, seeing women's aunts, temples and in-laws. After Zhu's "wedding", he was ordered (in the first year of Hongwu, 1368): "All marriages should be done according to family law."

So it was popularized and handed down. At first, it was limited to officials' homes, and then it was gradually introduced to the people.

Back to my second brother's wedding reception, at that time.
