Works and recent photographs
He has his own views on the relationship between life and art: music creation is based on pictures, in addition to film and television drama music, dance music and other genres that already have pictures, as far as songs are concerned, after getting the lyrics, in the process of continuous chanting, there will be pictures reflecting the meaning of words in front of you. Is this picture rich or not? Is the color intense or light? Monodimensional or multidimensional? And so on, different composers reflect differently, because the breadth and depth of their cognition of life are different, and this is the basis for determining the quality of the work. Composition is about representing the subject with melodies and accompaniments, so the degree of understanding of the subject matter is crucial. He was very much in favor of the saying that art ultimately spells culture. He said that this "culture" includes profound life experience, extensive humanistic knowledge, profound rational thinking, and stimulated national feelings. Therefore, he insists on raising people with books, culture himself, paying attention to reading and practice, often going deep into life, grasping the essence of life, seeking the source of creation in life, absorbing creative nutrition, so that the picture is more accurate, more profound, more three-dimensional, more plump reflection of the theme; let the melody and accompaniment interpret the picture more wonderful, more moving, more wonderful.
He is clear and firm about his future development path: constantly enriching his experience, improving his creative ability and the level of works, firmly establishing the creative concept of "people-centered", and taking the promotion of the Chinese spirit, the dissemination of Chinese values, and the cohesion of China's strength as his lofty mission, and he has unswervingly adhered to it for life.
