The 2024 Global Forum on Hehe Culture with the theme of "Hehe Culture and New Model for Human Progress" was held in Tiantai county, Taizhou city, Zhejiang, on Nov 2. A book collecting poems of Hanshan, made its debut during the forum.

Poet Hanshan, a name meaning “Cold Mountain,” ranks as one of the most eccentric and mysterious figures of Chinese literature. He is said to have lived during the Tang Dynasty (618-907), dwelling in a cave or hut in Tiantai Mountain. American beatniks and hippies championed Hanshan as a fellow free spirit, with Jack Kerouac even dedicating his novel The Dharma Bums to the poet.
