Cultural China Tour: Yongxin, Jiangxi: Everyone's Ink Fragrance Everywhere

2025-01-14   

As the end of the year approaches, at the "Sanwan Adaptation" Memorial Square in Yongxin County, Ji'an City, Jiangxi Province, thousands of literary and artistic artists gathered at the grassroots level - the "Wanfu Yingchun" public welfare activity of the Jiangxi Calligraphers Association was launched on the 13th. Setting up a round table, placing ink and brush, spreading red paper, waving a big brush... With the calligrapher's flexible wrist waving, "The country is peaceful and the people are prosperous, and the family and industry are prosperous, bringing a thousand auspicious collections" "Flowing lights and colorful celebrations of the festival, ushering in a new era of prosperity"... A series of Spring Festival couplets are written one after another, and the villagers nearby help pull red paper, hang the couplets, and smile as they wait for this unique "New Year's blessing". It is reported that the event gathered 20 calligraphers from Jiangxi Provincial Calligraphy Association, Ji'an City Calligraphy Association, and Yongxin County Calligraphy Association, who wrote more than 1000 couplets on site and gave them to the rural residents of Sanwan. Yongxin County has been awarded the title of "Hometown of Chinese Folk Culture and Art (Calligraphy)" by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism five times. This year marks the 16th year of the Spring Festival couplet sending activity in Yongxin County. At the end of each year, the Yongxin County Federation of Literary and Art Circles organizes calligraphy volunteers from the county's calligraphy association to go to parks, towns, and other places to carry out a "Spring Festival couplet sending" activity for about 10 days. In Yongxin, everyone from the elderly to children can write a few strokes of calligraphy. Each township has built calligraphy venues with unique cultural heritage - Yongxin Calligraphy and Painting Academy, Nanmen Old Street Calligraphy and Painting Academy, Xiushui Academy, Lianzhou Academy... Academies and painting academies provide calligraphy learners with free calligraphy books, brush, ink, paper, and inkstones, as well as diverse venues for calligraphy exchange training and creative exhibitions. We have formed a scientifically reasonable talent pool based on age and level standards, and insist on cultivating calligraphy talents to achieve intergenerational transmission He Jianwen, Chairman of Yongxin County Federation of Literary and Art Circles, said. Yongxin County Cultural Center has opened a public calligraphy training class and invites calligraphy masters from provinces and cities to participate in public welfare training every week. The cultural center also regularly organizes exchange discussions, calligraphy salons and other activities at various calligraphy venues, making efforts to explore and cultivate calligraphy talents. Every winter and summer vacation, dozens of calligraphy and painting training classes in urban and rural areas of Yongxin County are fully booked. I started learning calligraphy at the age of 6 and usually participate in our school's calligraphy class. During winter and summer vacations, I attend the county calligraphy training class. Practicing calligraphy makes people feel calm. I have been practicing calligraphy for more than 3 years and I have become increasingly fond of it, "said He Zihao, a third grade student at Yongxin Chengxi Primary School. In order to inherit the art of Chinese calligraphy, Yongxin has set up more than 10 training points in schools and communities, hired members of calligraphy associations and calligraphers at or above the city level to give lectures, and trains more than 100 calligraphy teachers in primary and secondary schools every year, and cultivates more than 1000 potential primary and secondary school students in calligraphy every year. Yongxin County's primary and secondary schools have launched the "Calligraphy into the Classroom" activity, and calligraphy learning is popularized in every primary and secondary school. Calligraphy groups, calligraphy lectures, calligraphy pen clubs, calligraphy exhibitions... Walking into primary and secondary schools in Yongxin County, the atmosphere of students learning calligraphy is strong. The school continuously improves the calligraphy level of teachers and students through professional calligraphy training, high-quality calligraphy teaching courses, calligraphy competitions, and other methods.
