Since ancient times, its culture has been prosperous and talented people have come forth in large numbers. In its early years, it was known as the hometown of calligraphy and painting. People describe the popularity of calligraphy and painting here by writing in every village and painting bamboo in every household. Many farmers here work in the fields during the day and write and draw in their spare time. They not only write well, but also draw bamboo beautifully.

On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, every household posts Spring Festival couplets, which praise the beautiful spring scenery or show the family style. Dragon and phoenix flying, calligraphy Qi Fei, forming a whole. It's really a hundred flowers blossom and a hundred schools of thought contend. This is simply an annual calligraphy feast.
