There is good news in the art of calligraphy and painting in Wuping County, Western Fujian——
The 4th edition of the Youth Calligraphy Newspaper, published on December 27, 2021, with the title of "The Origin of Lin Reform, Wuyi Han Moxiang", published a full-page exhibition of 25 works from the 30th anniversary of the founding of the Minxi Yide Calligraphy and Painting Society, which was widely concerned and praised by the calligraphy community.
Information: Founded in 1985, Youth Calligraphy Newspaper is a professional newspaper for young and middle-aged calligraphers and children's calligraphy enthusiasts. Weekly, published every Tuesday; four folio editions, one color report per month. "Youth Calligraphy Newspaper" is the only authoritative newspaper for young people in the contemporary Chinese book world, and has a huge influence at home and abroad. Suitable for readers of all levels and ages, it is the most ideal choice for you to understand the book world, learn calligraphy, and collect calligraphy materials.
The works can be full-paged in the "Youth Calligraphy Newspaper" and promote some calligraphers and painters to the whole country, which naturally has a certain cause.
Rooted in Wuping County, Fujian Province, the Minxi Yide Calligraphy and Painting Society was founded in 1993 by Fujian Wuping calligraphers and painters Liu Yansheng, Liu Bingyuan, Zhang Tianliang, Zhang Naibin, Xie Baoxin, etc., and was born in Wuping County, the birthplace of the reform of the national collective forest rights system led by General Secretary Xi Jinping himself, and the hometown of General Liu Yalou, the founding general and "father of the New Chinese Air Force".
The group of calligraphy and painting lovers has a leader, leading the art group of Wuping, a thousand-year-old county, to continue to move forward and move forward.
Over the years, this calligraphy and painting society has built a platform for calligraphy and painting enthusiasts in western Fujian to practice and improve, exchange experience and promote each other, help the cultural construction of Longyan City, Fujian Province, discover calligraphy and painting talents, create excellent works, and inherit traditional culture. The art categories they cover include brush calligraphy, hard pen calligraphy, Chinese painting, seal engraving, drawing, etc., forming a theme activity section such as creation, exchange, display, and education.
"The name of the calligraphy and painting club is 'One Gain', that is, we must have a gain for a period of time, a stage of harvest, and a period of life in the pursuit of calligraphy and painting art and the pursuit of life goals..." The speech of Mr. Liu Yansheng, president of the company, is quite philosophical.
With the care and support of the local party and government and people from all walks of life, the Minxi Yide Calligraphy and Painting Society has undertaken and hosted dozens of calligraphy and painting exhibitions.
Minxi-De Calligraphy and Painting Society Series Annual Exhibition, Wuping County Taoxi Township Painting and Calligraphy Exhibition, Wuping County Pingchuan Evacuation Township Construction Town Calligraphy and Painting Invitation Exhibition, Wuping County Teachers Series Calligraphy and Painting Exhibition, Wuping County First and Second Green Tea King Competition Calligraphy and Painting Exhibition, And West Fujian Yide Calligraphy and Painting Society Calligraphy and Painting Society Calligraphers and Painters Into Liangye Mountain Nature Reserve Collection and Sketching Activities, Wuping County Staff Calligraphy and Painting Exhibition, Minxi Yide Calligraphy and Painting Society New Year Warm Spring Festival Activities, etc.
After nearly 30 years of development, the number of members has grown from 5 to more than 100, and some members have become one of the backbone forces of calligraphy and painting in Wuping County, Longyan City and even Fujian Province.
Liu Yansheng is a person in the field of education, teaching and educating people, but also taking time out of time to practice calligraphy every day. He often said to his members and friends that the art is endless, there are people outside the people, there is a sky outside the sky, down-to-earth, hard work, only to gain...
I look forward to the artists and friends of the Minxi-De Calligraphy and Painting Society to strive for excellence and go to a higher level.
