丁捷首部原创诗画集 美爆了！在这本诗画集里，摸到鱼群游过的浪漫！

Ding Jie emphasizes the necessity for creators to possess a strong poetic nature. He believes that poetic nature is something that non-creators and tools (such as AI) cannot replace, and is a beauty in human nature even higher than morality. His own creation began with poetry writing in childhood, and in middle age suddenly turned toward painting. However, when you put his poetry and painting together, you will find that they are essentially of the same lineage. Different forms of language still convey that kind of poetic nature that is difficult to put into words. This is also the reason why we used his poetry and paintings for editing and fusion to make this book. Ding Jie himself said that the selected poems and paintings were all created in the states when he was most severely trapped by emotions. After each poem and each painting was completed, negative emotions were dispelled, and the joy of body and soul surged forth. This experience fascinated him for decades. Therefore, in his view, this special book is the bait of pain and joy cast to him by time. He is a fish that cannot escape the hook, swimming back and forth in pleasure or displeasure. Are you willing to sink and float with him and take the hook? Perhaps, being unable to resist all the temptations initiated by time is the manifestation of the existence of ""poetic nature."" Then, dear, this book will take you along to enjoy it with him.

丁捷强调创作者拥有强烈诗性的必要性，他认为诗性是非创作者和工具（比如AI）所无法取代的，也是人性中比道德性还要高的美妙。他自己的创作从少儿时期的诗歌写作起步，到中年突然拐向绘画。然而，把他的诗和绘画放在一起，你会发现它们本质上是一脉相承的，不同形式的语言，传达出来的依然是那种一言难尽的诗性。这也是我们用他的诗和画进行剪辑、融合，来做这一本书的理由。丁捷自己说，所选择的这部分诗歌和绘画，都是在他被情绪困顿最严重的状态里创作的。每一首诗、每一幅画作完成后，消极情绪得到驱散，灵肉的愉悦汹涌而来，这种体验让他迷恋了几十年。因而，这本特殊的书在他看来，是时间投给他的痛与欢的钓饵，他是一尾不能脱钩的鱼，就这样快意或不快意地游来游去。你是不是愿意跟他一起沉浮和咬勾？也许，经不住由时间发起的所有诱惑，就是"诗性"存在的表现。那么，亲爱的，这本书会带你一同去消受他呀。
