On the evening of the 26th, the Poetry Festival of Tongwei County, Dingxi City, Gansu Province, was held in Tongwei County, known as the "Hometown of Chinese Calligraphy", with phrases such as "Every household hangs a central hall, every household has a collection", "No calligraphy or painting at home, not from Tongwei", and "hoes with cloud and water pens and ink, plowing terraced fields and inkstones". Poetry is a shining pearl in the profound historical and cultural heritage of Gansu. The "Poetic Gansu · Silk Road Long Wind for Three Thousand Miles" cultural and tourism poetry festival series is jointly organized by the Gansu Provincial Department of Culture and Tourism, the Gansu Provincial Federation of Literary and Art Circles, the people's governments of various cities and prefectures in Gansu Province, and the Reader Publishing Group. At present, the Longnan Poetry Festival, Jiayuguan Poetry Festival, Jinchang Poetry Festival, Tongwei Poetry Festival, etc. have been held. This series of activities aims to showcase the rich and diverse cultural and tourism resources of Gansu through poetry recitation, supplemented by artistic performances such as singing, dancing, calligraphy, etc., in a panoramic manner.

On that day, a reporter from China News Network followed the interview team of Tongwei Poetry Club into Tongwei Yuexin International Calligraphy and Painting Village. Our emphasis on handwriting is ingrained in our bones, and the proportion of calligraphy classes is much higher than that of music and dance. Moreover, there are two calligraphy classes per week from elementary school to high school, "said staff member Ran Panpan. Due to the inheritance from ancestors, calligraphy has flourished in Tongwei, and a complete industrial chain has been formed in the local area, including calligraphy and painting framing, and sales of the Four Treasures of the Study. Ran Panpan introduced that there are currently more than 300 art galleries in the Calligraphy and Painting Village, and more than 30 famous artist creation bases and studios have been established, training more than 50000 calligraphy and painting enthusiasts. I have been practicing painting since I was young, and after graduating from school, I directly returned to the county to open my own calligraphy and painting studio. Now, I have settled in Yuexin International Calligraphy and Painting Village and my income is still decent. The most important thing is to endure loneliness and calm down to polish one's skills Lian Jie, a local calligrapher and painter born in the 1990s in Tongwei, has gained some fame locally. He said that calligraphy and painting are very popular among young people, especially among many students who come to learn from him. (New Society)
