Wang Liang's Exhibition Speech

"China-Japan Calligraphy Exchange Exhibition" is the first exhibition held by Beijing Bookstore since its establishment on February 28th, 20 10. Beijing Bookstore is a calligraphy professional organization approved by the Propaganda Department of Beijing Municipal Committee. Our college takes "organizing academic research, supporting innovation and exploration, and carrying out foreign exchanges" as its own responsibility, making greater contributions to inheriting and carrying forward Chinese culture.

China and Japan are friendly neighbors separated only by water. Sino-Japanese culture is deeply rooted, and the people of the two countries share the same humanistic heritage and aesthetic pursuit. As early as the prosperous Tang Dynasty, copies of calligraphy posts by Wang Xizhi and others were introduced to Japan, which opened the first sound of calligraphy exchange between China and Japan. Especially in Qing Dynasty, Yang Shoujing, a famous Chinese scholar and calligrapher, brought some rubbings to Japan for communication. Since modern times, frequent calligraphy exchanges between China and Japan have promoted the spread of Japanese calligraphy in Japan and had a far-reaching impact. With the progress of history and the success of China's calligraphy application, the art of calligraphy has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people and has become an important bridge and link for cultural exchanges and friendship between the two peoples. This exhibition will have a great impact on further promoting the exchange of Chinese and Japanese calligraphy, promoting the development of calligraphy and enhancing friendship.
