This activity interprets the Olympic spiritual culture through the art of Chinese calligraphy, which plays an important role and significance for the exchange of Chinese and Western art. Wei Guangjun, director of the Institute of Calligraphy and Seal Engraving of the National Academy of Painting of China, said that calligraphy is a cultural exchange with relatively abstract art, which is an introverted feeling, and calligraphers should fully contribute their strength to show the deep cultural heritage behind Chinese characters, help the promotion of the Winter Olympics, and cheer for Olympic athletes.

It is reported that the "Cheers for the Olympics • I Write spring league for the Winter Olympics" activity was launched on December 21, 2021 during the winter solstice, aiming to publicize the traditional festival culture of the mainland during the Winter Olympics, show the festive atmosphere and hospitality attitude of the Chinese people' festivals, and after the launch of the activity, nearly 100 famous artists received spring joint works and more than 100 "Fu" characters, some of which were exhibited to the public at today's event.

Wang Suyuan, general manager of Yuanqi Art, the organizer of the event, said in an interview: "Calligraphy is an artistic treasure that our Chinese nation will always be proud of, and Yuanqi Art hopes to interpret the diversity of Olympic culture through today's event and through China's unique calligraphy art, and show the beauty of Chinese culture to the world." ”
