Zhao, a member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and a famous writer in Shanghai, submitted a proposal yesterday, which attracted attention. He suggested that the government declare China calligraphy art as the world intangible cultural heritage to the United Nations.
According to Zhao, before going to Beijing, he had an exchange with the vice chairman of China Calligraphers Association and the chairman of Shanghai Calligraphers Association. Zhou Huijun is very supportive of this proposal. He thinks that many people in the society belittle China's traditional culture and art, but foreigners pay more attention to it, which is worrying. It is reported that Zhao, the vice-chairman of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles and the vice-chairman of the China Calligraphy Association in the same group, had a lot of complaints, and decided to join hands with them to promote the calligraphy art in China. They suggested that the Ministry of Culture set up an expert research group on China's calligraphy application, starting with the historical origin, development and influence of China's calligraphy in China's present life, and enter the application procedure as soon as possible.
