STORYLINE:

An exhibition highlighting Han paintings and calligraphy by Lingnan artists opened on Sunday at the Chinese Cultural Center in Ulan Bator, the capital of Mongolia.

Co-organized by the Chinese Cultural Center and the Art Association of Shantou in south China's Guangdong Province, the event aims to commemorate the 75th anniversary of diplomatic relations between China and Mongolia.

According to organizers, the event also seeks to popularize traditional Chinese culture, promote the Belt and Road Initiative, and showcase the distinctive features and vibrant colors of Lingnan-style calligraphy.

Li Zhi, counselor of the Chinese Embassy in Mongolia and director of the Chinese Cultural Center, spoke at the opening ceremony of the exhibition.

"China's Lingnan is an ancient and vibrant region that has nurtured countless artistic treasures," said Li. "As a unique expression of Lingnan calligraphy art, the inscriptions on Han Dynasty paintings have captivated numerous art lovers with their distinctive artistic form and profound cultural significance. These inscriptions serve not only as witnesses to history but also as a cultural heritage that embodies the wisdom and emotions of our ancestors."

"Although China and Mongolia have differences in geographical location, history, and culture, art is a language that transcends national boundaries," Li added. "Through the appreciation and discussion of the inscriptions on Han Dynasty paintings, we can gain a deeper understanding of each other's artistic traditions and cultural heritage, and work together to promote the development and prosperity of the art and culture of both countries."

More than 60 Lingnan-style works are on display at the exhibition.
