Before the official start of the symposium on the 60th anniversary of the establishment of the Shanghai Calligraphers Association, all the guests observed a moment of silence for Mr. Zhou Huijun, honorary chairman of the Shanghai Calligraphers Association.
In the enthusiastic appeal of Shen Yinmo and other calligraphers of the older generation to inherit and carry forward the traditional Chinese calligraphy art, and with the strong support of the party and the government, on April 8, 1961, the Shanghai Calligraphers Association, the predecessor of the Shanghai Calligraphers Association, was officially established, marking the birth of the first public calligraphy social group in New China in Shanghai. This is a landmark initiative in the history of calligraphy development and the pride of contemporary Shanghai calligraphy. Over the past 60 years, Shanghai's calligraphy art has always shone with the artistic charm of inheriting classics and Shanghai characteristics with the pace of development of the times.
At the beginning of the symposium, Ding Shenyang, vice chairman of the Shanghai Municipal Federation of Literature and Literature and chairman of the Shanghai Calligraphers Association, said: "After the continuous efforts of several generations of leaders of the Shanghai Book Association, the Shanghai Book Association has made positive contributions in inheriting and disseminating calligraphy culture, cultivating and educating calligraphy talents, and promoting the development of calligraphy. Ding Shenyang said that in the future, the Shanghai Book Association will continue to embrace its original intention and launch more new works by new people, so that calligraphy will always become a beautiful landscape of traditional culture on the sea.
In order to record every step of the association in the past 60 years, the Shanghai Book Association began to prepare a series of activities for the 60th anniversary of the establishment of the association last year, and specially filmed the "Ru Yin - Documentary on the 60th Anniversary of the Shanghai Calligraphers Association", which premiered at the opening ceremony.
