Chinese literati painting was ever the top art that social elites in history integrated moral quality, scholarship, talent and thought and that was expressed in poetry, calligraphy, painting and seal cutting. Chinese literati paintings enrich the world artistic language due to its unique "implication" and "elegant taste" with literariness, philosophic nature and lyricism. For example, people still take delight in talking about the artistic value and collection story of one of the invaluable representative works of Chinese literati paintings "Painting about Dwelling in the Fuchun Mountains". The contemporary leader of literati paintings Guo Xiyuan that Liu Haili, Chen Dayu and Song Wenzhi speak highly of are also deeply loved by the world cultural celebrities such as Li Zhengdao, Ikeda Daisaku et al. The former vice chairman of Shenzhen Artists Association Guo Xiyuan consistently has profound understanding and strong feelings about the origin of Chinese culture. The creative idea of the cultural celebrity in Nanjiang He Chaobing about "Hello World" stimulated the inspiration of Guo Xiyuan to create "the Painting of Humanistic Ancestors". He narrated "the story" about three "humanistic ancestors" to initiate human civilization in the simple and straightforward style of writing--Fu Hsi, distinguished Yin and Yang (the two opposing principles in nature), created eight trigrams, set up characters, and established the ideological source of Chinese civilization; Yu Emperor, made hat and clothes, set up vessel and vehicle, established ancient music modes, created medical science, and united Yan Emperor to unify ancient China; Yan Emperor, made tilling tool, planted refined and coarse grains, established business stores, exploited market, and united Yellow Emperor to unify ancient China. The proposal to "deliver New Year's blessings to the whole world with Chinese humanistic ancestors representing Chinese culture" presented by Dahe Cultural Finance Group obtained active response from the newly elected chairman of Jiangsu Provincial Calligraphers Association, the director of "Chinese Calligraphy Institute" in Japan Liu Hongyou, the curator of Beijing Xiangshan Art Gallery, the winner of "the National Award" of the 7th Calligraphy & Seal Cutting Exhibition and over 30 media at home and abroad. It is played on more than 100 big electronic screens in over 20 provinces and cities including Tokyo, Paris, Frankfurt, Beijing, Shanghai, Nanjing, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Anhui, Shandong and etc. at the same time. What's more, there were the pictures that Chinese people around the world went into the street on their own initiative to hold it high for the purpose of expressing the New Year's blessings to the world and the respect for the humanistic ancestors.
After that, Dahe Cultural Finance Group initiated a series of activities on mainstream network media at home and abroad with the aim to make interactive communication of global e-pals. During the activity, video and pictures with the expectation and blessings for the New Year were sent from more than 50 regions in over 20 countries throughout the world including China, the U.S., the U.K., Germany and etc. People delivered and forwarded greetings online across regions, national boundaries and races, and the sea of red China covered network media including microblog and Wechat at home and facebook, twitter and etc. abroad.

Media at home and abroad such as "www.china.com.cn" and etc. have also paid close attention to China Dahe Art Space collection and Chinese and overseas powerful artists related to Nanjing, and initiated "Global Promotion Alliance of Dahe Arts" jointly. Its mission is to "make real Chinese artists go to the world market and the world class palace of art" with the support of cooperative resources including multiple art foundations of the UN headquarters in the New York, NASDAQ media company and etc. Chinese and overseas artists including the newly elected new Chinese artist included in the State Archives Shang Ke, the gold award winner of oil paintings throughout the U.S. Jove Wang, the first-line contemporary Australian artist Palla Jeroff, the Dalian painter who ever won a lot of important awards at home Zhou Shigang, the full-time painter in Nanjing Art Academy Zhuang Daojing, the artist for the studies of ancient seal and the Analects of Confucius Ma Zikai et al. signed cooperative agreement with general manager of Dahe Art Space Liu Dongxing at Zijin Mountain Resort in Nanjing, China.
