The World Poetry Dance Music and Visual Arts Salon was held in Liangzhu of Hangzhou, East China's Zhejiang province, on Saturday.

More than 20 artists and cultural scholars from various countries, such as Spain, Brazil, Nigeria, New Zealand, and Singapore, attended the salon.

The salon, themed "Shared Beauty, Shared Civilization," was organized in the form of yaji, or "elegant gathering", which was a tradition among intellectuals, artists and people of higher social class in ancient China. They would gather to share their thoughts, demonstrate individual artistic or cultural attainments, and collaborate to create prose, poems, calligraphy, and paintings.

Featuring performances, panel discussions, exhibitions of co-created works, the event highlighted art as humanity's shared pursuit of beauty and its ability to transcend differences and foster empathy and mutual understanding.
