Today is the beginning of spring. The beginning of spring is the first of the 24 solar terms and the beginning of spring. In 6 days, it will be the Spring Festival.
On the occasion of the Spring Festival, I and the calligraphers and painters of the Jiangsu Contemporary Art Creation Research Association are very honored and pleased to be invited to participate in the "Calligraphy and Ink Fragrance Welcome the New Year, Calligraphers Send Blessings to Readers" and "Jiangsu Provincial Public Library New Year Painting New Year Exhibition" held by Nanjing Library.
Nanjing Library used to be the third largest library in China, and now it is the highest cultural palace in our province, which not only provides the best quality reading services for the majority of readers, but also often carries out some distinctive cultural and artistic activities. Today's activity can be said to be one of the most distinctive, richest and most participatory activities in our province to welcome the New Year and write blessings and send blessings. As this couplet, which I wrote and wrote for this event, describes:
Moyu sends blessings to heaven and earth,
The fragrance of books welcomes the spring family.
What we are talking about is that our calligraphers and painters write blessing characters and Spring Festival couplets, use pen and ink language to send blessings to readers, create a joyful festival atmosphere, and express good wishes for the New Year, life and readers.
The next link is that Nantu welcomes the arrival of the New Year with the fragrance of books, so that thousands of households will not only have the fragrance of rice, meat, and wine during the Spring Festival, but also the fragrance of books; There are not only the sound of gatherings, firecrackers, chess and cards, but also the sound of reading, creating a strong festival cultural atmosphere and having a meaningful and rewarding Spring Festival.
If you want to add a horizontal criticism to this couplet, it is five words: Longteng culture is prosperous. We will be pleased to see that the Spring Festival of the Year of the Dragon not only shows the infinite charm of traditional Chinese culture, but also shows the new atmosphere of modern civilization.
Finally, allow me to make a slight alteration of another couplet I have written, in order to bless the reader, the coming year, and the motherland
Shenzhou Tenglong opens a new universe,
Spring breeze and rain trillion years.
