This year's exhibition theme is "Golden Wind, Bamboo and Silk, Echoing Mountains and Waters; Iron Paint, Silver Hooks, Emulating Ancient and Modern Times".

The creative concept behind it is as follows:

As the golden wind blows, it paints a quietly shimmering landscape, touching the heart of Su Shi, who then wields his brush on bamboo and silk to compose the "Ode to the Red Cliff", leaving an eternal legacy. This ode depicts the Red Cliff, the bright moon, and a philosophical attitude towards life.
Su Shi's handwritten "Ode to the Red Cliff" still exists in the Taipei National Palace Museum, but many works by other masters have long been lost. For example, the loss of the "Preface to the Orchid Pavilion", leaving future generations with endless admiration and a thirst to learn from the divine aura of the masters.
Similarly, the peeling and damage to ancient ironware and inscriptions await efforts from later generations to restore and revive them, allowing these classic works to regain their vigor and sharpness.
The beauty of mountains and rivers, the ancient and modern, is uniquely and romantically interpreted by calligraphers and painters. Pursuing the agility of mountains and waters, the lifelikeness of ancient classics, while embracing contemporary styles, leads to innovation.
