Representatives from invested companies Zhuoyi Culture and Paper Plus Cultural and Creative Industry, Wuxi, made their debut at the Shenzhen Cultural and Creative Expo
Wuxi Grand Canal Fund, managed by Xi Venture Capital, has invested in companies such as Zhuoyi Culture and Zhijia Cultural and Creative, which will be showcased at the 20th China (Shenzhen) International Cultural Industry Expo and Trade Fair in 2024. It is reported that a total of 14 companies representing Jiangsu Province participated in the Cultural Industry Comprehensive Exhibition of this year's Cultural Expo, and 2 companies were selected within Wuxi city.
Zhuoyi Culture, which has participated in the conference three times in a row, is the "vanguard" of Yixing cultural enterprises. It has been deeply involved in the purple clay art industry, taking copyright protection as the starting point and adopting the "digital+" approach to give birth to new technologies, scenarios, and formats such as digital cultural tourism, IP integration, and purple clay metaverse, leading the purple clay industry towards a new era of digitization and intelligence.
At this cultural expo, Jiangsu Provincial Cultural Investment Group and Zhuoyi Culture jointly released the e-commerce platform "Zisha · Yi APP", which integrates the physical and data (copyright) trading functions of Zisha artworks. The online product has exclusive creative authorization and unique identity, and is registered and confirmed for copyright trading through the National Cultural Big Data East China Regional Trading Platform. It is produced and sold in limited quantities, and is provided with fund settlement and supervision services by banks and other settlement institutions. The transaction data is synchronized in real-time with the Jiangsu Province "Purple Gold Chain" certificate. The Zisha Yi APP provides a secure and trustworthy platform for digital trading of Zisha artworks, making art collections more reassuring. It also marks an important progress in the cultural digitization strategy in the field of Zisha art.
Paper Plus Cultural and Creative is a one-stop customized service platform for cultural and creative gifts. By linking upstream intangible cultural heritage handmade papermaking, downstream sampling workshops, and supply chain factories, the pattern works, packaging, cultural and creative, and gift links are integrated. Utilizing its own advantages in paper production and trade materials, craftsmanship, and supply chain, it completes one-stop customization of cultural and creative gifts. Zhijia Cultural and Creative not only serves top domestic museums such as the Palace Museum in Beijing, Nanjing Museum, and Shanghai Museum, but also provides customized cultural and creative solutions and products for many enterprises such as Jiangsu Deji Cultural and Creative, Wuxi Lingshan Scenic Area, and Wuxi Metro. In April 2024, the "Paper Beauty China Gift Rhythm and Flower Creation Exhibition - Paper and Pattern Works" submitted by Zhijia Cultural and Creative Cooperation, together with five other projects such as Xiju, represented Wuxi's artistic originality and was selected for the national art fund funding project list.
At this year's Cultural Expo, Zhijia Cultural and Creative released gift fan cultural and creative products with the theme of "Eastern Zhijia Fan Like Water". The fan culture in China is not only profound, but also closely connected with paper culture, bamboo culture, and Taoist culture, and is an important component of Chinese national culture. China is known as the "Kingdom of Fan Manufacturing" and is the world's largest exporter of fans. Fans are not only the sediment of art, but also the carrier of culture. A fan not only allows the world to understand traditional Chinese craftsmanship, but also promotes cultural exchange and integration. After thousands of years of development and dissemination, fan culture is no longer limited to China, and its influence has expanded to neighboring countries such as South Korea, Japan, Malaysia, and India. In Europe, fans are even seen as a symbol of identity, especially in Spain and France, where the importance of fan culture is particularly prominent.
