Seventy calligraphers and painters from the mainland China and thirty ones from Taiwan were invited to participate in the activity, including Gu Yun, president of the China Mao Calligraphers Association, Pang Xianbo, vice president of the China Arts Society, Gong Chaoyang, chairman of the Taiwan's Chinese Calligraphy Association, He Zhengyi, secretary general of the Chinese Calligraphy Association, and water color artist Chen Yangchun from Taiwan.
