On September 9, villagers were busy painting Chinese paintings at Zhimo Art Studio, Xinhe Village, Xiaohe Township, Liuyang City. In recent years, the township has made great efforts to build an art industrial base cluster, integrating sketching, creation, exhibition, trading, training, and tourism to increase villagers' income. There are now 6 village-level studios in the township, and more than 460 rural painters have achieved employment near their homes. Their paintings are exported to overseas markets such as South Korea, Japan, and Singapore. (Photo/Peng Hongxia)
