With a 2200-year history, Hangzhou is an ancient and modern city, which is full of vigour and charm. From ancient times, Hangzhou served as an important cultural and art city. 800 years ago, the Southern Song Academy was built here, which represents top level of ancient Chinese art. 100 years ago, Xiling Seal Society was set up. After that, thanks to Chinese new cultural movement, China Academy of Art, one of the most famous institutions in the world, was established in 1928. It had attracted and cultivated lots of artistes including Lin Fengmian, Pan Tianshou, Huang Binhong, Li Keran, Zhu Dequn, Wang Shu (the first Pritzker Prize winner in China) and others.
