China is a great country of lacquer culture, and Fuzhou has played an important role in Chinese lacquer art. From the climax of modem lacquer art initiated by the family of Shen Shao'an, to China's earliest lacquer discipline pioneered by Shen Fuwen, from the creation prosperity of Chinese lacquer painting during the times of Reform and Opening-Up, to the contemporary development of lacquer ware since the new century, Fujian has always been closely related to the modern and contemporary development course of Chinese lacquer art.

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