I came across this book "Gentle Warfare" by Tian Yimiao in the library. I was first attracted by the title, and then I opened a few pages and found that the words were beautiful, and classical music flowed slowly from my fingertips. I can't resist this almost tender beauty, so I decided to borrow it now.
Later, when the title page was opened, Chen Cun wrote a preface for Tian Yimiao. The first sentence was "Tian Yimiao looks good", and I would have smiled at that time. I didn't think these five words were simple and rude, but there was a Nordic temperament, which was casual and simple without losing the content. I guess secretly in my heart that tian teacher must be a young woman with both early talent and temperament.
After reading this collection of music essays, it's like sitting in a coffee shop, lazily listening to one classical music song after another. There are many musicians who first heard it, and there are also many musicians who have admired it for a long time, including Bach, Toru Takemitsu and Joe Hisaishi ...

If I have any regrets, my biggest regret is being a layman in music. Perhaps, I'm just "reading" music. Undoubtedly, tian teacher is a master of emotional words. She is good at turning strings of notes into frames without any sense of disobedience.
While enjoying this kind of musical beauty, I can't appreciate more musical singing because my musical qualification is still shallow.
you can gain enough.
Tian Yimiao's personal charm deeply attracted me. You see, those shallow experiences, those unique aesthetics of music, and that indifferent and poetic attitude towards life.
She wrote: "The most beautiful tune always comes from a moment of forgetfulness. Maybe music is just an emotional career."
She also said, "Love is so abstract that it comes once in a blue moon. Music is much more reliable than diamond ring. I was beaten by it since I was a child, but now I barely make a living from it, and occasionally I use it to express my feelings."
These words are beautiful at first sight, but after careful consideration, they have its own unique flavor. If you don't have a paranoid love for music, you won't have such a unique taste. Reading a book and tasting a person, Tian Yimiao is sometimes the cup of rich coffee, sometimes the cup of light wine, and more often, like the classical music she listens to.
There is a saying that if you get close to it, you will look more and more like it one day. That's about it.

tian teacher also interspersed some of his own experiences in this book, which will make me a layman in music more famous. She laughed at herself for being a complete academic and not being a wild girl who loves rock and roll.
I think of myself on the cusp of my junior year.
I don't know whether to take the postgraduate entrance examination and become an academic in the future, or to face the storm bravely and be a wild girl floating and growing up on the road of design.
even after reading the whole book, I'm still not sure about my answer. However, there are some references to my life, just like Grimau, who wrote "Wild Variations". When writing this book, Grimau was about 256 years old. Looking back at that age, I was sitting in the inner wall of the college library every day, eating cookies and 3 simulated test questions for the postgraduate entrance examination. That decade seems to have been spent under the pressure of exams and further studies. These firm and clear goals have rudely read our youth, blood and girlish feelings, so they have grown up in a straight line. "
"Seeing that youth is dying, I began to wonder whether everything I got was as I had hoped. Of course, all this is determined by personality and values. If my youth comes again, I will definitely still be the girl who stayed in the library, instead of wandering the rivers and lakes and wandering the Sahara. "
it is also a kind of wisdom to know yourself and others clearly. Therefore, although tian teacher has always admired the surging, stirring, flourishing and bright-colored youth. But she also knows-
"Grimau, San Mao, Chyi Yu, and the inland river in Anne Baby's novel Lotus, they don't belong to the daily category, but are born for art. They are angels, witches, wind, unpredictable and unpredictable, and they are the women who are selected to dance to death in the Sacrifice of Spring."
if you are sober and self-aware, you will not lose yourself.

I especially appreciate the academic school like Tian Yimiao. Although there is no passionate rock element in life, there is more exquisiteness and beauty. I also understand that this serenity and stability are hard to come by, and you need to be able to withstand the long years.
As she herself said, "In those days, when friends around me formed a band, I sat alone in the library, gnawing thick mock review questions for the postgraduate entrance examination, gradually studying from a master's degree to a doctor's degree, and then staying in school to teach music theory courses, which smoothly became a standard academic school."
I see, whether it's a wild girl or an academic, there is no such thing as good or bad. You should choose the life that suits you best, and then go to the end unswervingly.
You must never go further and further on the academic road, and then be attracted to the Sahara border by the "wild girl", twisting the poor music beat, and then wandering between enjoying yourself and losing yourself.
I have the honor to worship this masterpiece and know tian teacher.
I still want to say: Tian Yimiao is really beautiful!
