In his welcoming speech, Fei Hexiang asked teachers to deepen their understanding of Chinese characters, to draw the essence of traditional Chinese culture, and thereby enhance their cultural outlook. He reminded those present that Chinese characters are an important part of Chinese culture and had a history of over 5,000 years. Many young people today know very little about these characters, especially because of their dependence on computers.

The exhibition was divided into 4 parts - the Bronze exhibition, the collection of Calligraphy and Painting, the 'Kanji' exhibition, and the Chinese Calligraphy Pen exhibition. The motto of the exhibition was "Carry Forward the Chinese Culture."
