"At present, under the leadership of the Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts, a special Academic Committee for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area has been set up, and it is planned to promote the exchange of cultural resources in the Greater Bay Area through more academic activities." Li Jinkun mentioned that Guangdong, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan have formed their own paths in the process of cultural development because of their different regions. The four places will form exchanges and mutual learning in the process of cultural development, and promote each other, which will establish a common foundation for the development of the Humanistic Bay Area.
Ye Quan, vice chairman of the Macau Education, Culture and Art Association, said that the Lingnan School of Painting is also particularly popular in Macao. "Macau is a city that combines Chinese and Western cultures, and although it is deeply influenced by Portuguese and British culture, traditional Chinese culture is deeply rooted in Macau." When referring to Chen Shuren, Ye Quan said that when Chen Shuren traveled to Japan, he integrated what he learned into his own style, "This is the spirit of daring to innovate and innovate." People who are engaged in artistic creation today should learn this spirit. ”
