Character evaluation

Fang Wenshan met two best opportunities from his debut to his fame. One is that he was discovered by Wu Zongxian and became a full-time lyricist; the other is that he met Jay Chou and became a golden partner with complementary advantages. As a result, the combination of Jay Chou and Fang Wenshan was gradually fixed (Netease Entertainment review).

Fang Wenshan's Ci works often involve all kinds of ancient China. In addition to creating lyrics, he also draws nourishment from traditional Chinese lyrics. The lyrics created by Fang Wenshan have a strong sense of picture and a strong oriental style. Fang Wenshan's writing grammar and thinking angle are all of his own school, whether he is writing CI or poetry. He calls himself "Fang Dao · Wen Shan Liu". The rhyme poem of plain face is the most true portrayal of Wenshan's style. (Phoenix Online Review)

With popular culture as the carrier of promoting traditional culture, Fang Wenshan's purpose is to call on the young generation. He doesn't think that young people are "cut off" from traditional culture. "10% of young people study calligraphy, and 20% of young people like classical poetry. They first seek quantity, then quality, and then refinement. Just like Wuhan Poetry Festival, such a ceremonial activity will gradually accumulate its influence and become a cultural card of Wuhan." (review of Changjiang Daily)

In terms of lyrics creation, Fang Wenshan presents two aspects: fashion, lightness and classical tact. His lyrics are full of spirituality, direct to people's heart, and with crystal clear texture, just as he wrote in his words, "like the handed down blue and white porcelain, self-care and beauty". In this era, Fang Wenshan is probably the only one who can write freely in pop music and bring traditional culture to the stage. (China daily review)

Fang Wenshan is good at dismantling the inertia of language use, re watering the weight of words, giving them new meaning, weaving out new texture, and constructing the new style of post-modern words. His lyrics and songs have a sense of picture and Oriental style, which is very consistent with the overall music style of the river and lake. (Phoenix Online Review)

Fang Wenshan has won the Golden Melody Award for many times by virtue of Jay Chou's works, and has the reputation of "sage of Ci". He also wrote lyrics for Liu Dehua, Guo Fucheng, Zhang Xueyou, Cai Yilin, Lin Junjie, S.H.E., Wu Zongxian, Wen Lan, pan Weibo, Yuan Yonglin, Zhang Liangying and other artists (Yangcheng Evening News Review).
