The establishment of the FLAC means that the last piece of the puzzle of the Beijing Municipal-level Literary and Art Federation has been completed. It also marks the birth of the first literary and artistic association among the 230 national economic and technological development zones in China. 

Over the years, the BDA has always adhered to the simultaneous development of industrial and cultural development, and has formed a cultural atmosphere of mass participation.

After nearly a year of preparations, the BDA has successively established the Writers Association, Musicians Association, Calligraphers Association, Artists Association, and Cultural and Creative Artists Association. The five literary and artistic associations currently have a combined total of nearly 200 members.
