Art Exhibition at Cultural Park

Guangzhou Cultural Park, located in the old town of Liwan District, Guangzhou, is a municipal park well-known among the old residents of Guangzhou. Besides the permanent Thirteen Hongs Museum, the park also hosts seasonal events such as the Spring Festival Lantern Show and the Yangcheng Chrysanthemum Exhibition. Additionally, there are art exhibitions in the gallery that are updated periodically and often overlooked. If you pass by, you might want to check them out.

The second 'Unfazed by the Unusual' art exhibition

'Unfazed by the Unusual' gets weird again this year. In the contemporary era, computer AI is prevalent, and almost any painting can be created by artificial intelligence. Art should not be uniform; it needs individuals to be quirky and create an atmosphere. The art exhibition 'Unfazed by the Unusual', held by Lin Junsheng, Wang Lizhong, He Xuhuo, and Pan Fang, shows us that the works are honestly created following artistic principles, seeking their own path in the journey of art, but this path is a unique and rugged one. Choosing this path over the broad and easy one is indeed a bit unusual.

Later, she created 12 pieces of 'Disabled Wheelchair Tai Chi,' using flowers that bloom in different months of the year as a backdrop on white paper umbrellas, making the works shine brilliantly, and many media outlets have reported on this. Chen Cuibing not only focuses on papercutting creation but also on the training of papercutting art.

Salute to the inheritors!

Well said: Culture is the result of inheritance and promotion. China is a country that attaches great importance to cultural inheritance. The diversity of the world is due to the inheritance of cultural diversity in different regions. Leiju, from the Leizhou Peninsula in Lingnan, Guangdong, originally named Daban Song, also known as Gaotai Song. Leiju fully interprets a distinctive folk feature of Leizhou's traditional folk customs, 'respecting ancestor worship, remembering tradition, promoting benevolence, and meeting between humans and gods'. Leiju, through inheritance and evolution, is brilliant and colorful with its unique content and form. In 2011, it was included in the National Intangible Cultural Heritage List.
