1. The form of the book is novel and reflects the humanistic feelings
In the context of globalization and informatization, in today's rapid communication tools all over the world, retaining the aroma of traditional culture and allowing excellent traditional culture to be inherited by the times is indeed a topic that needs to be discussed in depth. Tradition is an endless river, and there are two ways to inherit traditional culture, one is to preserve as authentically as possible, collect, organize, study, classify, and enter the museum. There is also a way to apply the traditional style, in the traditional cultural spirit, artistic spirit, artistic essence, artistic style, expression and other representatives of culture and art in this memory, selectively combine the background and spirit of an era to innovate, with new creative concepts, new content, express modern values, ideal pursuit and core values, with the times to glow the charm of this culture and art in the present. That's the purpose of our exhibition.
Shuzha Wenmu is a universal form for scholars to express their thoughts and feelings, the most distinctive traditional culture, and an important carrier of cultural exchanges. Unlike other types of calligraphy such as Yang Lian, Zhongtang, or Fan, the "sense of formality", Shuzha Wenmu is more of an unfettered expression of freedom and interest. The exhibition changes the past calligraphy exhibition to seek the form of a grand scale, and strives to be exquisite, using the codex, which has a carrier with a deep traditional heritage of the Chinese nation, to express and feel the G20 Summit.

In addition, they interpreted the special "Ten Bamboo Zhai" checkered paper in their respective styles, and in addition to the red eight lines and double red eight line letterheads that were usually used, they also created a new four-foot square red eight lines. Artists can create more freely in various books in the Eight Lines of Doufang Red, bringing a different artistic feeling to everyone, which is also an innovation and attempt. A very important purpose of this exhibition is to better adapt to the space where modern people live through these exquisite and small calligraphy works, so that codex calligraphy can enter thousands of households, so that this excellent traditional culture can be carried forward, and at the same time, the charm of Traditional Chinese culture will be displayed to Chinese and foreign guests participating in the G20 Summit.

They took the time out of their busy schedules to create very seriously and came up with excellent works. Mr. Liu Jiang, who is 90 years old, wrote a reply letter to a primary school student "Letter to Shen Linpeng's Children", although there are not many words, but it makes people feel warm and warm to read, especially the last signature to call himself a stupid grandfather, let us fully appreciate the strong family affection between the old artist and the flowers of the motherland. He Shuifa, a contemporary famous member, "has a feeling when reading the Collected Works of Zeng Wenzheng", Jiang Beigeng "titled Hangzhou Lakeside Residence", shen Hao "Hangzhou City Welcomes the Twenty Nations Summit Poems" and so on.
