Dandong: A Border City of Beauty and Heroism Dandong, China's largest and most beautiful border city, faces Sinuiju, Democratic People's Republic of Korea, across a river. Blessed with stunning landscapes and vibrant culture, Dandong boasts natural wonders like the rippling Yalu River, the clear waters and soft sands of Dalü Island, the ethereal beauty of Fenghuang Mountain, and the majestic winding path of Hushan Great Wall. Rich in red tourism resources, it has nurtured heroes and models such as Mao Fengmei and Sun Jingkun... With a profound historical and cultural heritage, Dandong is not only a "hero city" of the War to Resist U.S. Aggression and Aid Korea but also a shining star in the literary and artistic front of Northeast China and even the whole nation. 2022 Dandong Spring Festival Couplet Calligraphy Masterpieces Exhibition in Provincial Level Co-hosted by the Liaoning Calligraphers Association and the Dandong Federation of Literary and Art Circles, and co-organized by the Dandong Calligraphers Association and M56 Art Museum, this exhibition aims to implement Xi Jinping Thought on Socialism with Chinese Characteristics for a New Era, the spirit of the Sixth Plenary Session of the 19th Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, and the guidelines of the 11th National Congress of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles and the 10th National Congress of the China Writers Association. It seeks to promote excellent Chinese culture, enrich the connotations of traditional festivals, and create a festive and harmonious atmosphere. The exhibition showcases 100 couplet works by 30 calligraphers from Dandong—active in provincial, municipal, and national arenas in recent years, many of whom have won awards in national and provincial exhibitions. Integrating calligraphy—a time-honored form of Chinese traditional art—with Spring Festival couplets, the works echo each other in form and meaning. Among them: Weibei (Northern Wei) calligraphy exudes grandeur and 古朴 (simplicity); Running script is elegant and flexible; Cursive script is bold, smooth, and rhythmical; Seal and official scripts are solemn, clear, and graceful. These works highlight the authors' profound skills, talent, and cultivation, embodying their love for the Party, the motherland, hometown, life, and art, as well as best wishes for the 2022 Spring Festival. Forge Ahead in the New Era with Artistic Vision As the saying goes, "When the roc rides the wind, it soars ninety thousand li." General Secretary Xi Jinping's important speech at the opening ceremony of the 11th National Congress of the China Federation of Literary and Art Circles and the 10th National Congress of the China Writers Association vividly interprets the historical mission of literary and art workers. Artists should always remember the trust and entrustment of the Party and the people, stand at a new starting point, forge ahead in the new era, and "send spring feelings with ink and warm hearts with blessings." By telling the stories of Liaoning and Dandong well, they can help build a better hometown!。
