In addition, some staff members from Zhejiang Museum also gave some lectures on China's calligraphic art and old drinking vessels, in order to promote friendship.

 

As a cradle of Wuyue culture in China, people in Zhejiang have accumulated unusual appreciation for beauty in different aspects. Their aesthetics spirits have far-reaching influence in today’s life. Over the long history, they also used the aesthetics in literature and painting creations. These aesthetics works are the symbols of the Jiangnan aesthetics, which are the precious cultural gifts to following generations.

According to Lai Yingjie, executive deputy director of Zhejiang's publicity department, in the future, more culture communication activities should be displayed to the public, so as to influence and benefit more people.
