The only national calligraphy and painting associations are: China Calligraphers Association, China Artists Association, Central State Organs Calligraphers Association and Central State Organs Artists Association. China Calligraphers Association and China Artists Association are in charge of the Federation of Chinese Literary and Art Circles, and the Central State Organs Calligraphers Association and the Central State Organs Artists Association are in charge of the Central State Organs Trade Union Federation. Provincial calligraphers' associations such as Beijing Calligraphy Association and Hebei Calligraphy Association are group members of China Calligraphy Association, and calligraphers' associations of ministries and commissions such as China Finance Calligraphers' Association and National Public Security Calligraphers' Association are group members of calligraphers' associations of central state organs.
Simple analogy, China Calligraphers Association and Central State Organs Calligraphers Association, one in Tsinghua and one in Peking University.
On April 2012 18, the Calligraphy and Painting Association of the Central State Organs was renamed in Diaoyutai, with Li Jinhua and Yang Jiechi as honorary chairmen and Su Shizhu as chairman. Du Xuefang, member of the Standing Committee of the Central Commission for Discipline Inspection, deputy secretary of the Working Committee of the Central State Organs and secretary of the Commission for Discipline Inspection, issued letters of appointment.
