Harmony and beauty may represent 

themselves with diversity and 

integrity. Ever since 2017, Chengdu 

Europe Culture Season has been 

dedicated to integrating the cultural 

and artistic resources from Europe 

and linking them with the local 

cultural and artistic scenarios, 

resources, and needs in Chengdu. It 

has presented over 70 high-quality 

Chengdu-Europe cultural and artistic 

exchange activities that take various 

forms, have diverse themes, and are 

convenient to participate in, to 

Chengdu citizens. It has become a 

bridge of friendship between the 

people in Chengdu and Europe, an 

important platform for cultural 

exchange and mutual learning 

between Chengdu and Europe, and 

a consistent expectation to experience 

the diverse cultures of the world 

among Chengdu citizens.

和而不同，美美与共。自2017年起，“成都·欧洲文化季”致力于整合欧洲地区文化艺术资源，链接成都本土文化艺术场景、资源和需求，为成都市民奉献了70余场形式丰富、主题多元、参与便捷的高品质蓉欧文化艺术交流活动，已成为蓉欧民心相通的友谊之桥、蓉欧文化交流互鉴的重要平台，也是成都市民体验世界多元文化的固定期待。

"The Way of Harmony" International 

Public Art Symposium has been held 

successfully in Shou'an Town for four 

sessions. The way of harmony is 

essentially about living in harmony 

with nature and art, and behaving 

with integrity. In each session of 

"The Way of Harmony" International 

Public Art Symposium, artists use 

industrial or daily waste materials, 

such as metal and wood, to create a 

diversity of fabulous artworks that 

reflect the theme of harmony 

between humans and nature.

据了解，和合之道国际艺术创作营活动在成都市温江区寿安镇已成功举办4届。和合之道，即和自然、合艺术；仁和为人、契合守正。每届创作营活动围绕各类艺术主题，针对金属、木材等工业或日常废弃材料，艺术家进行再创作，反映人与自然和谐的主题，作品体现“化腐朽为神奇”的智慧。
