On Jan 2, the trade union of the State Grid Gansu Electric Power Company, Jinchang Federation of Literary and Art Circles, the trade union of the State Grid Jinchang Power Supply Company, and the Jinchang Calligraphers' Association jointly organized a public welfare event titled "Bringing Culture to the Frontline and Welcoming the Spring". The event attracted the participation of over 60 calligraphy and painting enthusiasts.
As each stroke traverses the paper; every curve and stroke reveals elegance. Despite the chilly wind, the calligraphers remain enthusiastic, wielding their brushes with ink splashing, showcasing their unique skills one after another. The various scripts, including regular script, running script and seal script, each exhibit their own charm. Spring couplets with auspicious meanings, such as "The dragon carries jewels to bid farewell to the old year, the snake exudes auspicious breath to celebrate the new year" and "The propitious dragon bids farewell to the old year, leaving auspicious qi, while the spirit snake welcomes the new year, ushering in a new journey", gracefully appear on the paper. Through the dots and strokes of ink, they express a beautiful vision for the company's development, filled with longing and blessings for a better life in the new year. Their calligraphy ranges from dignified regular script to fluid running script, and even unrestrained cursive script. Workers gather around the calligraphers, admiring their exquisite craft while selecting their favorite Spring Festival couplets.

Spring Festival couplets nurture new aspirations and convey blessings through pen and ink. They not only convey the spirit of "happiness" at the onset of the new year, but also allow employees to deeply appreciate the charm of China's rich traditional culture, experiencing the profound spring vibe and warmth of human connections in 2025. Simultaneously, Jinchang Company has fully leveraged its organizational and coordinating role through interactions with the provincial company's trade union, the municipal federation of literature and art, and the municipal calligraphy association. This collaboration has deepened mutual interactions and provided a unique New Year gift to the company's employees. Poetry flows through the ink, and blessings are etched on paper. The activities are conducted in a variety of forms and rich content. Each Spring Festival couplet carries deep emotions, and every stroke nourishes the essence of culture, blooming with even more brilliant radiance.
The "Bringing Culture to the Frontline" and "Ten Thousand Happiness Welcoming Spring" public welfare activities have further encouraged the company to foster a rich cultural atmosphere among its employees. These activities aim to guide employees in nurturing a strong cultural foundation of self-confidence and self-improvement, fostering a spirit of unity and perseverance, thereby contributing significantly to the high-quality development of both the company and the power grid.
