This year's Children's Art Exhibition, based on the theme "Amazing Belt and Road Initiative", encourages children and adolescents to use brushes to depict a beautiful picture of the Belt and Road initiative and record its development.

Meanwhile, to pass on traditional Chinese porcelain painting art to help teachers and students have an in-depth understanding of its characteristics, more than 400 primary and middle school students signed up for a pottery competition.
