LIN Di-Run: Expressing the Classical Heart with the Modern Tools

Small Lin is his screen name, and his original name is Lin Di-Run. This young photographer in his thirties has recently become a big hit on the Internet, with many media outlets reporting on his travel photography experiences. People pay more attention to his humanistic photography. Xiao Lin has indeed produced many excellent pictures of the humanities, but equally noteworthy is his photography of all things in the world, including landscapes, such as those quietly beautiful and elegant films in his new book, "Time Reflections - Twenty-four Sets of Seasons through the Lens," which give a glimpse of the aesthetic sensibilities of an agrarian society.

Talking about this type of film, Kobayashi talked about his understanding of landscape photography. He said, a few years ago, there was a big criticism of landscape photography, the cultural community generally attach importance to humanistic photography, that landscape photography is detached from reality, uniform, lack of innovation and realistic care, harming the national vitality, can be abandoned. In fact, landscape photography is often more "Chinese" things, because, in traditional Chinese culture, the pursuit of the philosophical thinking of the unity of man and heaven, coupled with the harsh and brutal ideological confinement of the dictatorship, resulting in the Shangyi landscape painting has become the mainstream of the Yuan and Ming Dynasty after the mainstream of Chinese painting, the brush is sketchy, advocate copying the ancient, do not think of innovation in landscape painting has become a literati to dispel the boredom of ink play. Depression of the ink play, such Chinese spirit, goblet to the field of photography, became the landscape photography. From this point of view, the people who shoot the landscape, the idea of the silent protest of reality is not hidden, landscape photography is just a release of people fleeing the secular world.

It is precisely because of this deep understanding of traditional culture, Kobayashi believes that landscape photography is not a simple natural landscape, but the relationship between man and nature. "Fortunately, I came to the mountain is not alone." Even if no characters appear in a landscape photo, the photographer who took the photo's take on a mountain and a tree exposes the unique comprehension that arises from the interaction between man and nature. It's hard to imagine a person with no knowledge of Buddhist culture taking a Zen-inspired photo.

The word "Zen" is indeed the ethos of most of the photographs in this book, "Reflections on Time: The Twenty-Four Seasons through the Lens," and the text and pictures are all about it. Take this one, for example: the few dead leaves in the picture, as if deliberately out of focus, seem to fall not on the ground, but on rice paper. This simple photo has a very distant flavor, as the author's accompanying text: "Jewel Hill, Hangzhou, the former residence of Zhang Jingjiang / The ginkgo tree in the courtyard is over a hundred years old / I don't know if it was planted by the owner's hand / The leaves fell on the white canvas canopy / Whoosh very softly / And then gently turned over / That sound, like it came from the distant Republic of China."

The image has an old-fashioned feel, and the accompanying poem has a haiku feel.

Kobayashi said that the twenty-four seasons in "Time Reflections" are just a vehicle. In fact, he just wants to write down the trivial details of life, and it is the recollection of these details that make up our perhaps dull but rich life. So, this is not really a photography book. The photographs appear in the book only to awaken memories and return to the old times.

Kobayashi's lifestyle is also very old-fashioned.

He is a keen hiker. Often, he said, he would take a random ride to another part of the city and just start walking down one small street or alley after another. It's even more so when you go to an unfamiliar city.

At the time the reporter was writing this article, Xiaolin was participating in a photography activity in Nanning, and he wrote on his microblogging account, "Every time I go to an unfamiliar city, I am used to hiking across and through the city one time, and I won't get lost the next time I come here, and I've gone to about a hundred cities like this. Today Nanning sunny, ready to spend a day hiking across once, Baidu map tells me that the total trip is about fifteen kilometers."

There's never a shortage of sightseers in a hurry, but don't we need more of these observers who measure every street and alley in a city with their steps?

He had a passion for brush calligraphy and would spend an hour or two a day, practicing it. Huang Yongyu once mentioned in his prose that Venerable Hongyi would take a whole morning to write a banner. Xiao Lin writes with such a quiet and slow mood. It's as if he's not practicing his characters, but practicing that small piece of time that has been forgotten by modern life.

Poetic life on the road

◆Pedestrian profile

Name: Lin Di Run (Xiao Lin)

Gender: Male

Identity: University teacher, freelance photographer, columnist

Small Lin is now working in the IT field, sharing his thoughts on the world of photography with others through his own Web site, Digital Survival. Above there is a paragraph he wrote "Xiao Lin its people" self-introduction, so that people who know the first time can also see this big boy's interesting, "Xiao Lin, surnamed Lin, Guangdong Zhanjiang people, born in 1975, is now mixing rice in Guangzhou. The height is not too much, the weight is not too much, the appearance is not too much, the appearance is not too much, the appearance is not too much, the height is not too much, the weight is not too much, the appearance is not too much. University of clinical medicine, graduated from the administrative management, now engaged in IT, half a life of ups and downs, nothing, often downcast, sad soul. When he is not doing anything, he likes taking pictures, painting, writing, designing, fishing and walking aimlessly. In short, this guy is more proficient at playing than working, and more proficient at wandering than playing."

In fact, Xiaolin's hobby is not just "not doing his job", he likes to travel, love of photography, and now he is also a number of newspapers and magazines, photography and travel columnist, in 2007 also published a book "Guangzhou Classic Tour", travel recorded images, but also allowed him to participate in the "Perfect China" exhibition, and in 2009, in Beijing's 798 Art Zone, he was a member of the "Perfect China" exhibition, which was held in Beijing's 798 Art Zone. In 2009, he exhibited his work in Beijing's 798 Art District and at the Pingyao Photography Festival.

Traveling, living elsewhere

Like most people, Xiaolin likes to travel, and he likes the feeling of experiencing life elsewhere. In his opinion, in an unfamiliar place, to understand what people living elsewhere think, their joys and sorrows, their values, can have an impact on their own thinking and values and confirm, this is a way to obtain wisdom, but also can make their own height of life can be enhanced. There is no detailed travel plan, only the approximate destination and time, not too much preparation, expecting the variables and accidents during the trip. Kobayashi's travels are more appropriately called "walking" or "wandering," and the great unknown that lies in the distance, like the future, attracts him to set out again and again.

Walking has become a part of his life nowadays, and he is always on the move when he has a little spare time. Photography and painting have given him many excuses to travel. He always set off alone, in the journey will meet a lot of interesting people and things, will also harvest a lot of friendship and sincerity, sometimes recorded with a camera, sometimes not, "these feelings quietly chew, and travel and far, and plain favorite reading one by one to confirm that you can always get a lot of life meaning, this meaning is in the day-to-day tedium of work and endless personnel entanglement This kind of meaning can not be realized in the day-to-day tedious work and endless personnel entanglements." Photography and painting have brought him many like-minded friends from all over the world, and meeting and chatting with them on the road is one of the joys of traveling.

In the past two years, Xiaolin has traveled to some second- and third-tier cities that are more common and less famous, such as Dayi in Sichuan, Yulin in Shaanxi, Qianjiang in Hubei and Changde in Hunan. The speed of China's economic development is astonishing, resulting in the amazing homogenization of major cities. He has always hoped to find and record the original temperament and flavor of these cities in the tide of urbanization, and at the same time, he also hopes to record the process of the development of our era and its veins, and in this process, he obviously feels the great conflict of nostalgia, loss, huge changes, confusion and other emotions of the Chinese, "Documenting the disappearing landscapes", says Xiao Lin, "is not just an attempt to document the disappearing landscapes, but also to record the development of our times. "Documenting the disappearing landscapes and cultures, and such a great transformation, is my biggest driving force." Kobayashi initially titled this documentary on China's reality "Perfect China," but he's not sure what kind of theme he'll be working on when the filming is finished. "The future is always changing and unknown, and that's what attracts me to keep on filming."

In the new year, he intends to change the way he walks, "randomly find a train that is about to leave, randomly find a distant station to get off, so that the unknown and unfamiliar, perhaps to get a greater surprise and experience."

Growing old with Guangzhou

While not a native of Guangzhou, Xiaolin has spent more than 10 years in the city from his studies to his work, and has developed an inseparable emotion. In Xiaolin's opinion, although the city does not have too much natural beauty, it is also a little messy and complicated. But her tolerant and calm, open and low-key temperament, people will be intoxicated after living here for a long time. A modern sense of fast-paced, but also with a strong Lingnan traditional style of life, is worth a slow taste and appreciation, she is a city you can grow old with. So after work, Xiaolin likes to go to the "street sweeping", with the camera to record the history of the city and the present, there are old Overseas Chinese New Village, the sunset of the Dongshankou, but also the quiet time of Shamian, accustomed to the afternoon sunshine, he went to almost every corner of Guangzhou, with the camera and the pen describing the details of the city, and eventually gathered into a book "Guangzhou"! Classic Tour", leading readers a little taste of this bustling city of all kinds of flavors.

In Xiaolin's opinion, the most representative of Guangzhou's style of the first place to push the Yide Road, which is located in the hinterland of Guangzhou's old city of Xiguan, is the dried seafood, gifts, stationery, toys and snacks of the professional market street, bustling people like the sea, chaotic, but also run a spontaneous formation of the order, in which you can feel Guangzhou as a millennium of the city's commercial capital of the strong vitality and the spirit of the people of Guangzhou, the positive optimism and the spirit of struggle of continuous improvement. The spirit of struggle of the people of Guangzhou. Walking around here, you can find a lot of good bargains, and there is also Guangzhou's most spectacular Catholic Church on Yide Road, where the solemnity of religion and the hustle and bustle of the city go hand in hand, which is also quite a flavor of Guangzhou's landscape. Nearby on Yide Road are Shangxiajiu, Haizhu Square, Yanjiang Road and Enning Road, all of which are very characteristic of Guangzhou and are worth a closer look.

Another recommendation from Xiaolin is Sha Mian, the site of the old Concession, with many European-style buildings, lush greenery, and the busiest part of the Pearl River flowing gently by, the environment is quiet and elegant, suitable for a slow walk, and it is a very upscale and cozy place in Guangzhou. Sometimes there are folk Cantonese opera troupes performing in Sha Mian, small cafes by the Pearl River in the sunset, and noisy stalls when the lights are bright, all can be found here.

Hometown of Guangdong good place

Not only is Guangzhou, Xiaolin's exploratory footsteps have also stepped to the south of the mountain, in his lens, "line cloud Guangdong" is the Fenkai light as ink painting of the river, is the Yangchi village playing children, yellow dog, is the rich colors of the north of Guangdong in the late autumn, is the Guishan port of the fishing fires, is the lively weddings in the countryside, and is the rich colors of the north of Guangdong. In Xiao Lin's eyes, Guangdong is a good place, with a long and colorful coastline, the beautiful Xijiang River, the strong Lingnan culture of the Pearl River Delta, the simple and beautiful mountainous areas of northern Guangdong, as well as the profound Chaoshan and Hakka cultures, all of which deserve to be carefully explored and slowly savored. This young man from the seaside fishing village out of the life of the seaside always have inexplicable attachment, every time you return to their hometown always have a feeling of peace of mind.

Guangdong's sea, Xiaolin, "not avoiding relatives", first recommended his hometown, Zhanjiang Wuchuan Wuyang, where there are endless white sandy beaches, simple fishermen work, a strong Western Guangdong flavor, and a lot of very good seafood and food. In addition, there are also the Wanshan Islands in Zhuhai, where the isolated islands and the life of fishermen at sunrise and sunset give people a feeling of being outside the world, and are also his favorite travel destinations.
