"Feng Mantian's music is Chinese style and international style. Through the modernization of Chinese folk music, he let the world see the current attitude of Chinese folk music."

Haris theoharis, Minister of tourism of Greece

"It's Chinese music that I've never heard before. It's fascinating and full of surprises. Feng Mantian's music makes diplomatic activities different. For the first time in diplomatic occasions, I can't help but dance right away. The instrument in his hand shows us the diversity and inclusiveness of Chinese music. His music combines the philosophical thoughts of Laozi and Confucius, making people hear the dialogue between ancient China and contemporary China, and the dialogue between China and the world. He is not only a master of Chinese music, but also a master of world music. "

Famous performing artist Pu Cunxin:

"Feng Mantian's music is the synthesizer of all kinds of music. It is already a state of freedom, and this freedom is in the rhythm. All kinds of music laws have grown on him, and only with deep accumulation can he have such ability. From the foot of the mountain to the top of the mountain, he constantly destroys people's cognitive laws, and wants to find the acme of art. In the second half, music has no concept of time, no rhythm and no rules to follow, just like the explosion of stars in the universe. This is in line with the ancient Chinese way of thinking - cosmology. "
