On the same day, the 2021 Cross-Strait Daqian Cultural and Art Exchange Activity with the theme of "Inheriting Daqian Art and Creating Cultural Prosperity" was held in Neijiang City. Among them, at the 2021 Cross-Strait Urban Cultural Industry Development Exchange Conference, guests from both sides of the Strait discussed and exchanged views on the development of Daqian cultural IP and the development of Daqian culture-empowered cities.

"Daqian has a profound cultural heritage and has influence on both sides of the Taiwan Strait. On this thick foundation, it is necessary to skillfully market cultural IP. Mo Chengfu, a "monster village" trader from Taiwan, said that relevant cultural industry parks can be built on both sides of the taiwan strait to form a large cultural industry cluster, thereby further empowering urban development.

Although Neijiang and Taiwan are separated by thousands of rivers and mountains, because of the culture of the great thousands, the two places have forged a deep love relationship. Since 2013, the cross-strait cultural and artistic exchange activities have been successfully held for seven sessions. The reporter learned that in recent years, Neijiang has used Zhang Daqian's culture and art as the medium to integrate Daqian culture and art into urban construction, promote "calligraphy and painting art + tourism", and receive more than 1,000 Taiwan compatriots.

Li Wenxun, executive vice president of the All-China Federation of Taiwan Enterprises and president of the Chongqing Municipal Association of Taiwan Enterprises, said that although cross-strait exchanges have been frustrated in recent years due to the epidemic and the obstruction of the Taiwan authorities, the market will not lie. In particular, cross-strait economic and trade cooperation has reached a new high this year, which has further strengthened the confidence of the vast number of Taiwan businessmen in developing on the mainland.

"I am very concerned about the construction of the Twin Cities Economic Circle in the Chengdu-Chongqing area, especially in the heart of the Twin Cities Economic Circle, so it is also a rare opportunity to develop in Neijiang." Li Wenxun said that Neijiang, as the hometown of a thousand people, has a high reputation among Taiwan compatriots, and he is currently planning to land a 500-acre factory building in Neijiang, hoping to build an important platform for taiwan businessmen to develop in Neijiang.

"Since the beginning of this year, compatriots on both sides of the strait have overcome various difficulties, and while doing a good job in epidemic prevention and control, they have held a series of exchange activities with rich content and diverse forms through the combination of online and offline, which fully shows that the desire of compatriots on both sides of the strait to get closer to their relatives cannot be suppressed, and the momentum of exchanges and cooperation between compatriots on both sides of the strait cannot be stopped." Li Wenhui, vice president of the Association for Relations Across the Taiwan Strait, expressed the hope that compatriots on both sides of the strait will, in the process of inheriting and carrying forward the excellent cultural traditions, jointly stimulate the vitality of the times of national culture, enhance the influence of national culture, narrow the spiritual distance between compatriots, and enhance national cultural self-confidence.

Up to now, Sichuan Neijiang Taiwanese Industrial Park and 64 Taiwan-funded projects have maintained a good momentum of development, with a cumulative investment of more than 6.5 billion yuan, involving electronic information, food and beverage, textile and clothing, biomedicine, cultural creativity and other fields.
