Speech at the Founding Meeting of leiyang city Middle-aged and Elderly Calligraphy Association

Dear leaders, guests and friends who like calligraphy,

First of all, as a calligraphy lover, I would like to express my warm congratulations on the establishment of the leiyang city Calligraphy Association for the Middle-aged and the Elderly!

In the days before the establishment of our association, the Chairman of the Provincial Book Association, the leaders of Hengyang Book Association, the Propaganda Department of leiyang city and leaders at all levels helped and attached great importance to personally guiding the establishment of our association, and did a lot of fruitful work. Here, on behalf of the members of the association, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks and high respect to you!

Calligraphy is a treasure of China culture with a long history. Cai Lun, a great inventor, invented papermaking and the application of a new carrier of calligraphy and painting, from writing with a knife to drawing with a brush. Mankind has entered an unprecedented era of civilization, and the art of calligraphy has also entered a prosperous period. Generations of great calligraphers who are famous in history have emerged. This is the pride of Leiyang, the paper capital. The wheel of history has come to this day, with the development of science and technology, the wide application of counting machines and the popularization of paperless office. The proportion of old, middle-aged and young calligraphy lovers is out of balance. Faced with this situation, we should carry forward the national culture and inherit the spirit of paper capital. We still have a long way to go. We are in this historical period, and we can't escape our historical responsibility. In order to accomplish this historical mission, our scattered calligraphy lovers unite under the care of the leaders, get together to make friends all over the world, find bosom friends, learn skills and cultivate sentiment. Wash away all worldly distractions, and the pen will produce haze. * * * Inherit and develop the art of calligraphy. Carry forward Chinese culture, build socialist spiritual civilization and build a harmonious society.

Finally, I wish our association prosperity and continuous development. I wish all members and friends create better calligraphy works in the new family and pass them on from generation to generation. I wish all leading comrades good health, successful career and happy family.
