Calligraphy Fair in Hanoi

Hanoi

When the Lunar New Year or Tet is coming at the corner, a calligrapher, clad in a black dress and turban, appears in a calligraphy fair in Hanoi.

Tet is a time to decorate the house, a long-standing tradition passing down from generation to generation in Vietnam. Some want Chinese or Vietnamese characters to hang one or two pieces of paper in a living room whose meanings include best wishes giving to readers good things for the whole new year.

This practice is one of the long-standing traditions that the Vietnamese should retain. Nowadays, the computer has exerted a great influence upon students. Handwriting seems to be less used that enables a student's writing to be bad. Encouraging a student to learn how to write the calligraphy is a thing parents should think of.
