China is a great country of lacquer culture,and Fuzhou has played animportant role in Chinese lacquer art.From the climax of modem lacquer artinitiated by the family of Shen Shao'an,to China's earliest lacquer disciplinepioneered by Shen Fuwen,from the creation prosperity of Chinese lacquerpainting during the times of Reform and Opening-Up,to the contemporarydevelopment of lacquer ware since the new century,Fujian has always beenclosely related to the modern and contemporary development course ofChinese lacquer art.

The collision and blending between the contemporary ideological trend ofart and the resources of lacquer culture has opened China's Era of LacquerLinguistics.Today the lacquer ware of Fuzhou is further developed at theinternational stage.Aiming to comb critically the academic context ofChinese modern lacquer art from the modern and contemporary art history,dozens of lacquer artists who are representative in the three dimensionsof shape,plane and space will be convened to carry out the deep casestudies.Meanwhile,they will conduct the comparative studies with theirinternational counterparts to show the visual ecology of the Era of LacquerLinguistics under different cultural backgrounds,thus constructing theunique value chains and terminology database of Chinese community oflacquer art,and providing a platform of biennial exhibition which is full ofacademic vigor for the development of Chinese lacquer culture.
