Parent-child activities make more families fall in love with art
Children are the core of the family, behind the aesthetic education of teenagers is the improvement of family cognition, and the "double reduction" has also created more parent-child time for the family.

During the period of 2002111, the theme activity of "798Youngdays Garden Party" attracted many citizens and tourists. Parents take their children into the trend art market to feel the charm of the national trend, or they can go to the international picture book art exhibition to enjoy the parent-child moment.

Walking into the second floor of the 798 Art Center is the Emmers International Picture Book Art Experience Exhibition. The audience can explore the world in the picture book through the flip device on the wall and the parent-child interactive design such as dressing up and collage. All kinds of imaginary scenes are like a childlike visual feast.
"Because of the double reduction, the child has more spare time, so we will accompany him to feel the art. 798 has a strong artistic atmosphere and rich activities." Ms. Liu from Chaoyang District said after attending the garden party. It is reported that Qixing Group will rely on the high-quality aesthetic education resources in the 798 Art Zone to promote further cooperation with communities and campuses, actively carry out public cultural and artistic activities, and take the opportunity of "double reduction" to let art enter more families and make aesthetic education a means to enhance people's sense of gain and happiness.

798 Art Zone: To popularize aesthetic education with temperature and explore the cultural roots of "beauty and * * *".
Li Qian (Party Secretary and Chairman of Qixing Group)
"Pursuing a better life is an eternal process". Prospering culture and art is an important way to create a better life, the unremitting pursuit of the people and our goal. 798 Art District is one of the top ten cultural parks in the world, a highland of contemporary art in China, a business card of Beijing, and shouldering an unshirkable mission.
As the operator of the 798 brand and the park, Qixing Group is committed to building the 798 Art Zone into a window for people to "discover beauty, appreciate beauty, feel beauty and spread beauty", so that people can immerse themselves in the cultural and artistic atmosphere from the moment they enter 798. We will keep pace with the times, carry forward the socialist core values, pay attention to the "double integration" of culture and technology, brand and industry, absorb all-inclusive cultural and artistic contents with the spiritual connotation of "openness, pluralism and tolerance", stimulate outstanding cultural and artistic works, innovate the cultural and artistic forms of blooming flowers, and offer "temperature, accessibility and wide spread" popular aesthetic education and art to benefit the people.
In the future, Qixing Group will continue to build around the "four centers" in Beijing, proceed from the strategy of serving the national cultural development, maintain integrity and innovation, and boost cultural prosperity. At the same time, we should be a "propagandist" of brand 798, a "waiter" of cultural and artistic institutions and artists, and a "salesman" of cultural industry development. Taking the "Beijing International Art Season" as an opportunity, we can tell the story of China in contemporary artistic language, present an artistic cultural feast for Chinese and foreign tourists, and explore the cultural roots of "harmony but difference, beauty * * *" for building a community of human destiny.
