The establishment of the joint committee provides an important platform for exchange, mutual learning, and resource sharing among universities in Shijiazhuang, which will surely promote the integration and collaborative innovation of literary and art resources and contribute to the cultural prosperity of the provincial capital. He introduced the exploration and achievements of our university in literary and art work: winning the National Excellent Organization Award three times in the National College Student Art Exhibition, with multiple works receiving national awards; the School of Literature and History establishing the Hebei Provincial Intangible Cultural Heritage Dissemination and Research Base and the North China Epigraphy Documentation Research Center; faculty and students from the School of Music participating in major events such as the Asian Games and the Spring Festival Gala, while actively serving the Shijiazhuang Rock Music Season and rural revitalization; and the School of Fine Arts and Design establishing the Aesthetic Education Science Popularization Base and the Mural Research Center, promoting digital preservation and cultural creative development. He emphasized that our university will leverage these platforms to conduct in-depth research, creation, performance, and university-local collaborative services, enabling university literary and art resources to better empower the cultural construction of the provincial capital. He expressed hope that member universities would use the joint committee as a bond to break down inter-university barriers and deepen cooperation in literary and art creation, exhibitions, talent cultivation, and volunteer services, jointly building a brand for university literary and art in the provincial capital and contributing to the construction of a modern, international, and beautiful provincial capital city.
