At the opening ceremony, Zhou Lisha first delivered a speech. She stated that as a sacred land of Confucianism where Confucius once governed Zhongdu, Wenshang boasts a time-honored Confucian heritage and profound cultural context, serving as a fertile ground for calligraphy and painting creation. By inviting renowned local and provincial calligraphy and painting masters to return to their hometown for field creation and fine works exhibition, the event embodies the artists' sincere nostalgia for their hometown, as well as a vivid practice of inheriting and promoting fine traditional Chinese culture and advancing the in-depth integration of culture and tourism in Wenshang. She expressed the hope that taking this event as an opportunity, Wenshang could further explore the cultural connotation of Zhongdu, build a platform for artistic exchanges, depict the beauty of humanity, ecology and development of Wenshang with brush and ink, and continuously polish the cultural brand of "Yunzhongdu".

Subsequently, Duan Yupeng, former Vice Chairman of Shandong Calligraphers Association and Member of Xiling Seal Art Society, addressed the audience. He mentioned that located on the bank of the Grand Canal in the hometown of Confucius and Mencius, Wenshang has profound Confucian cultural heritage, providing endless inspiration for calligraphy and painting creation. As a practitioner deeply engaged in traditional calligraphy and seal cutting art, he has always admired the profound cultural foundation of Zhongdu. Coming to Wenshang this time, he truly felt the local high attention paid to the inheritance of traditional culture and the development of calligraphy and painting art. He pointed out that the exhibition gathers fine works of many famous artists, representing a perfect integration of calligraphy art and Confucian culture. It is expected that this event will promote the rooting and inheritance of calligraphy art at the grassroots level, encourage more calligraphy and painting lovers to uphold tradition and pursue innovation, let the fragrance of calligraphy nourish the urban cultural context, and pass down fine traditional Chinese culture from generation to generation.

Xie Changwei, Chairman of Jining Calligraphers Association, said in his speech that the creation tour and fine works exhibition of Wenshang native calligraphy and painting masters is an important exchange event in the calligraphy and painting circle of Jining, as well as a vivid reflection of the prosperous development of county-level culture. As an important part of Jining's cultural tourism, Wenshang has always taken the lead in inheriting traditional culture and creating literary and artistic fine works.

The event not only builds a platform for local calligraphy and painting creators to learn and improve, but also bridges communication and exchanges for famous artists inside and outside the province, fully demonstrating the vibrant vitality of calligraphy and painting art in Wenshang. He hoped that the calligraphy and painting circle of Jining would take this event as a link to strengthen artistic exchanges, root in local land and keep pace with the times, create more calligraphy and painting works highlighting regional culture and the spirit of the times, and push forward the cause of calligraphy and painting art in Jining to new heights.

Kong Weike, representative of famous calligraphy and painting artists, delivered the concluding speech.

He said that Wenshang is the ancient land of Zhongdu and one of the birthplaces of Confucian culture. This land carries thousands of years of cultural heritage and breeds a strong artistic atmosphere, for which art practitioners always hold deep respect. Returning to his hometown to participate in the event, he was gratified and proud to witness the new look of cultural and tourism integrated development in his hometown. He pointed out that artistic creation originates from life and is rooted in culture. He hoped that all calligraphy and painting masters would take this creation tour as an opportunity to deeply explore the essence of Zhongdu Confucian culture, Grand Canal culture and local culture, integrate cultural heritage with artistic creation, depict the landscape of hometown and eulogize the era with painting and ink, tell Wenshang stories and spread the voice of Zhongdu with high-quality works, boost the high-quality development of cultural tourism in hometown with artistic strength, and make traditional calligraphy and painting art a bright business card showing the urban charm of Wenshang.

The "Yunzhong Ink Charm" Fine Art Exhibition gathers nearly 100 exquisite calligraphy and painting works with rich themes, diverse styles and profound artistic attainments, possessing both artistic value and cultural connotation, fully presenting the artistic accomplishments and hometown feelings of calligraphy and painting masters. The calligraphy works cover regular script, running script, cursive script, clerical script and seal script. Among them, the clerical couplets created by Duan Yupeng feature powerful strokes and simple solemnity, showing the epigraphic charm of traditional calligraphy; the running script works by Xie Changwei, Zhang Huixue, Guo Hui and other calligraphers are smooth and vivid, integrating the Confucian philosophy of moderation and harmony into brush and ink.

In addition, the bamboo and silk calligraphy works by Lin Hai are dignified, elegant and well-structured, with every stroke showing steadiness and magnanimity. Most of the contents are themed on Confucian classics, poems of Zhongdu and praises for the hometown, with every character filled with deep affection for the hometown and reverence for traditional culture. Paintings are mainly themed on landscape, flowers and birds, and humanity. The figure paintings by Kong Weike feature delicate lines and vivid forms, accurately depicting the elegant demeanor of ancient Confucian sages. The landscape works by local painters including He Jian take local scenic spots such as Baoxiang Temple, ancient Zhongdu City and Grand Canal Wetland as prototypes, with ethereal brushwork and profound artistic conception, perfectly depicting the landscape and cultural scenery of hometown. The flower-and-bird paintings by Li Qingjian, Fang Ruihe and other famous artists are vivid, fresh and elegant, combining meticulous brushwork and freehand painting techniques to fully show the beauty of nature and art. Every work integrates emotions into ink and conveys feelings through painting, highlighting the unique charm of traditional Chinese calligraphy and painting art, rooting deeply in Zhongdu culture and bearing distinct Wenshang characteristics.

After the opening ceremony, leading officials, distinguished guests and on-site visitors visited the exhibition together, appreciating every fine work and feeling the cultural heritage in brush and ink. Participating calligraphy and painting masters also carried out on-site creation and exchange activities. Masters wielded brushes and splashed ink for impromptu creation. Elegant works full of hometown nostalgia and Confucian charm took shape instantly, filling the scene with ink fragrance and strong artistic atmosphere, attracting visitors to stop and admire.

As one of the core cultural activities of the 4th Yunzhongdu Cultural Tourism Season 2026, the event takes calligraphy and painting art as a bond to link cultural inheritance, cultural-tourism integration and hometown nostalgia. It not only builds a learning and exchange platform for local calligraphy and painting enthusiasts, brings high-quality cultural and artistic enjoyment to citizens and tourists, but further promotes the inheritance of Zhongdu Confucian culture and displays new achievements and new features of cultural-tourism integrated development in Wenshang.

It is understood that the "Yunzhong Ink Charm" Calligraphy and Painting Fine Art Exhibition will last until May 5, open to citizens and tourists for free. It adds a strong cultural atmosphere to the May Day holiday, allowing more people to walk into Zhongdu, feel the charm of Confucian culture, appreciate the fragrance of ink, and admire the cultural beauty of Wenshang together.
