The exhibition features 100 works by Bao and Zheng, and will run from Dec 17, 2024, to Jan 10, 2025.

This joint exhibition blends cultural interest with the spirit of calligraphy, offering people a feast of calligraphic art. During the opening ceremony, the two authors donated parts of their calligraphy pieces to the Quzhou municipal bureau of culture and tourism.

"This is my second calligraphy exhibition in Quzhou. The first was in the winter of 2006 at the Quzhou Museum. The Quzhou Art Museum is spacious and offers diverse spatial variations," said Bao.

"Over the years, the cooperation between Bao and Quzhou's calligraphy community has advanced the calligraphic art in Quzhou," said Zheng.
