For more than 20 years, on this day, a large number of calligraphers at home and abroad gathered in Lanting to hold a grand festival ceremony and participate in colorful festival activities. They may visit the book saints and visit historical sites; Or bend water, drink wine and make poems; Or splash ink and exchange calligraphy skills; Or hold a forum to discuss theory. Many national calligraphy competitions and exhibitions are also arranged here and now. As the "hometown of calligraphy", Shaoxing should also launch various well-prepared programs related to calligraphy to expand the participation of urban people and create a unique festive atmosphere.
This Mid-Spring Calligraphy Festival is often the opening day of Shaoxing's one-year economic drama and tourism drama, which makes the content of the Calligraphy Festival always wider than what calligraphers appreciate.
