The strong team is good at hard work
In the spring of Dinghai, when Wanmu was revived and spring was warm, with the support and help of the leaders of the Linqu County Old Cadres Calligraphy and Painting Research Association and the Calligraphy and Painting Association, the Temple Head Calligraphy and Painting Branch was established with the participation of six people, including Zhou Shizhong, Wang Wensheng, Zhang Liyu, Zhao Fengguo, Wang Wenfu and Zhou Shifa. When the chapter was first established, there was neither an office nor a place to move, and everything started from scratch. At this time, Comrade Zhou Shizhong, the president of the branch, vacated a house on the edge of the Linjiu Highway. Because of the ugliness, he took out a three-drawn table and two chairs he used as desks and stools, and moved two rooms as offices and one for the studio. On this basis, in front of the original house, a three-meter-wide and nine-meter-long room was separated by aluminum alloy glass doors and windows, which served as a calligraphy and painting studio and exhibition room. At the same time, a long table was purchased as a writing and painting workbench. In this way, after the office and studio were completed and arranged, the six members of the branch were full of energy and confidence to start working.
After the news of the establishment of the Sitou Calligraphy and Painting Association and the beginning of the listing work spread, there were calligraphy and painting enthusiasts who signed up to participate. In order to develop and expand the team, President Zhou Shizhong, Vice President Wang Wensheng and four members jointly discussed that there will be a certain foundation of calligraphy and painting and enthusiasts absorbed into the association, and constantly injected new blood, so that the team continues to grow and develop. In particular, after Wang Lei, Zhang Zhishun, Wang Xuesheng, Li Chunhong, Li Shuguo, Liu Shu and a number of other young and promising members joined, they added a new force to the association and made the association more vigorous and vigorous. As a result, the membership of the association has grown rapidly from six at the beginning to nearly forty.
The members of the Temple Head Branch deeply understand the truth that "learning the sea is boundless, and karma is diligent."

Comrade Li Changhong, the current vice president and secretary general of the branch, has studied and practiced diligently through learning from teachers, so that the level of calligraphy has continuously reached a new peak. His works have been exhibited in calligraphy exhibitions held by counties, cities, provinces and the whole country for many times, and his work "Qinyuan Spring and Snow" won the second prize in the selection of the National Poetry calligraphers and painters' annual meeting, and his works were also included in the "Fifth National Calligraphy and Painting Exhibition Collection".

Drift into the community mountain village to drift ink incense
The comrades of the Sitou Branch keep in mind the purpose of "keeping up with the center and serving the society" and actively do a good job in service work. First of all, they did a good job in the exhibition of calligraphy and painting in line with the situation and highlighted the cultural charm. Every year, calligraphy and painting exhibitions are held three to four times a year on major holidays such as "Spring Festival", "May Day", "July 1st", and "New Year's Day". In particular, last year, in the grand celebration of the "Centenary of the Founding of the Party" by the whole country, with the support of the town party committee and government, the "Hanmo Shu Xiang Song Centennial" calligraphy and painting exhibition was held, exhibiting 116 works. The members and comrades also splashed ink on the spot, wrote and painted a large number of works, and the crowd at the scene was full of praise, smiling and smiling, and begging for ink treasures.
Then there is the on-site book writing and painting in communities, enterprises and villages, creating a strong cultural atmosphere.

In the past two years, he has written, painted, written couplets and other works for society, enterprises, villages, etc., and truly achieved: the association has entered the community (village), and the mountain village has drifted ink incense.
The essence of the new country must be passed on
Calligraphy is the national essence of my Chinese nation, in order to enable its successors to be inherited, the Sitou Branch has carried out the training activity of "members entering the school, holding hands with small hands". They successively went to Sitou, Shifo, Wangzhuang, Li Ji, Lü Que, Shijiahe and other primary schools, as well as Sitou and Jiushan Junior High Schools to teach calligraphy classes. We also take advantage of holidays to volunteer calligraphy and painting tutoring classes on Sundays for students who love calligraphy and painting.
Branch President Teacher Zhou Shizhong often has students come to study and seek teaching, as long as there are students coming, Teacher Zhou is busy at home, he will throw it first to tutor the students who come to study and seek teaching. Yu Haixin, a student of Sitou Village, who was tutored by his professor, made rapid progress due to his hard work. His works won the silver medal in the Provincial Children's Calligraphy Competition in 2019.
Comrade Zhang Liyu, vice president, regularly or irregularly trains calligraphy and painting hobby talents in his own studio. As long as there are students to study and teach, he is always warmly received, enthusiastic to teach, serious counseling, and has been praised by the parents of students. The owner of jiushan Daming glasses shop, Zhang Yuxia, a young woman in Sitou Village, loves calligraphy and is thirsty for talents. The leaders and teachers of the branch personally went to the Jiushan Daming Optical Shop to guide her to learn calligraphy. In order to provide convenient conditions for her to study frequently, she took the lead in contacting and recommending two teachers, Zhu Yunjun and Yuan Xingyu of the Jiushan Calligraphy and Painting Association, as her long-term guidance teachers, so that Ms. Zhang Yuxia could not affect the normal business and not learn calligraphy by mistake, achieving the best of both worlds. She said happily: "The work of the leaders and comrades of the Temple Head Branch has really done their home and done their best. ”
