The harmonious development of the work of the book association is reflected in its attraction to calligraphers and calligraphers, and it is necessary to firmly establish the working idea of "taking the book association as a member". How to serve the members well and build the book association into an authoritative and attractive platform is the primary problem to do a good job in the book association. Over the years, Shandong Book Association has worked hard to build the association into a "home for members", a "gas station" for members to receive training and re-education, and an "incubator" to help members become famous and married.
The Provincial Book Association has hosted or undertaken more than 0/00 professional exhibitions/kloc, and edited and published more than 50 kinds of books and essays. At the same time of holding the exhibition, the Provincial Calligraphy Association also organized corresponding academic discussions, which deeply guided the solo exhibition and enhanced the cultural connotation and social influence of Shandong calligraphers. At the request of China Calligraphy Association, we also organized personnel to compile Contemporary Shandong Calligraphy Memorabilia and Shandong Calligraphy Yearbook. These materials are important historical materials for studying the development of contemporary calligraphy in Shandong.
According to the principle of virtue and art, the Provincial Book Association has been committed to developing its members. The existing members of the Provincial Book Association are 1600, bringing the total number of members in the province to more than 4,000. At the same time, according to the articles of association of China Book Association, Provincial Book Association recommended qualified members to China Book Association in time, and developed more than 300 members nationwide, bringing the total number of members of China Book Association in our province to more than 900. They have become the backbone of our province's calligraphy creation team and theoretical team, and 10 members have been rated as "both virtuous and artistic" members by China Book Association. Comrade Gu Yalong was awarded the title of "Four Masters" in Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China and "Having both ability and political integrity" in China.
Foreign exchange is an effective means to improve our theoretical and creative level and broaden our horizons, and it is also the best way to enhance friendship and strengthen understanding. The Provincial Calligraphy Association has done a lot of fruitful work to strengthen cultural exchanges at home and abroad and make Shandong calligraphy go to the whole country and the world. He has conducted calligraphy art exchanges with Japan, South Korea and many countries in Southeast Asia.
In 2006, he organized a delegation of Shandong Calligraphy to visit Australia, and held a calligraphy exhibition of Shandong Calligraphy Association in Australia. The leaders of China Embassy in Australia attended the opening ceremony, and the exhibition was a complete success, which expanded the influence of Shandong calligraphy art overseas.
In 2007, at the invitation of the Korean Youth Ink and Wash Association, the Provincial Calligraphy Association formed a large-scale "calligraphy exchange group" of nearly 100 people to go to South Korea for a 7-day friendly visit and calligraphy exchange. This activity enhanced friendship and provided an international exchange platform for calligraphers and calligraphy lovers in our province.
In 2008, at the invitation of Japan's Yamaguchi Bookstore Alliance, a delegation of Shandong Book Association went to Japan for a friendly visit and calligraphy exchange, which was a complete success. It not only improved the international influence of Shandong calligraphy, but also deepened the friendship between Chinese and Japanese calligraphers. These activities have broadened our horizons, gained experience, strengthened the communication and contact between Shandong calligraphy circle and international art circle, and played a very good role in promoting the development of calligraphy art in our province.
