Why hold a joint exhibition of united front calligraphy and painting works in the four regions of the Yangtze River Delta in Songjiang, Shanghai? The organizer stated that Shanghai, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Anhui in the Yangtze River Delta region are close neighbors, with mountains and rivers, geographical proximity, close relationships, integration of industries, and cultural brilliance, embodying the common cultural genes of the Jiangnan region. Shanghai Songjiang has a profound historical and cultural heritage, with a continuous cultural heritage. Since the Yuan Dynasty, it has become the cultural center of the Jiangnan region, with numerous talents and celebrities. Dong Qichang, an outstanding representative of the Huating School of Painting, holds a very important position in the history of Chinese art. After the opening of Shanghai as a port, Songjiang absorbed advanced Western technology and culture, and blended with the profound Jiangnan culture, giving birth to and nurturing the Shanghai style culture. In modern times, famous calligraphers and painters such as Hu Gongshou, Yang Baoguang, Fei Yan, Zhang Zhuocheng, and Cheng Shifa emerged, shining brightly. The Shanghai United Front Culture Week is an innovative practice of united front work in the new era based on Jiangnan culture, Shanghai style culture, and red culture, focusing on showcasing the cultural soft power of the Yangtze River Delta region.
