The opening ceremony for the second session of the Pang Zhonghua hard-pen senior seminar was held on 1 November 2022, and attended online by 342 teachers from 42 branches of the Open University of China (OUC) system.

Tang Yingshan, executive vice dean of the OUC Painting and Calligraphy Art Education Research Institute, presided over the event.

Li Song, OUC vice president, delivered a speech, and expressed the hope that all the participants would contribute to spreading calligraphy skills, passing on Chinese culture, and developing Chinese civilisation after completing the training, doing their part to promote the development of art education at the OUC.

Pang Zhonghua gave the first class, covering the rules of calligraphy, writing skills, and other topics, with a warmth that left a deep impression.

The two-week seminar will include three livestreamed classes by Mr. Pang, tutoring services by the Pang teaching team, and learner support from art teachers in the OUC Faculty of Humanities.
