Calligraphy exhibition celebrates Hanoi’s 1,010th anniversary
As part of a range of activities to celebrate the 1,010th anniversary of Thang Long-Hanoi, the event will run until October 10.
A calligraphy exhibition and festival themed “Thang Long - Hanoi” started on October 2 at the Temple of Literature complex to celebrate the 1,010th anniversary of Thang Long-Hanoi.
| The event is being held by the Center for Cultural and Scientific Activities - the Temple of Literature to connect calligraphy clubs in Hanoi, calligraphers from all the regions in Vietnam. |
| More than 100 calligraphy works on display feature Hanoi’s land and people, cultural values, history and education. |
| Diverse activities such as calligraphy performance, seminar on calligraphy activities, exchanges between calligraphy clubs and tourists took place. |
| For many years, calligraphy activities have attracted the interests of the public in the capital and across the country. Calligraphy gradually becomes a cultural activity not only in spring but throughout the year. Calligraphy often expresses the mood of the writer. |
| The event will provide a space for the community to enjoy and contemplate calligraphic works in Nom, the Chinese character-based Vietnamese script, and even in Latin letters. |
| Visitors will be given the chance to write Nom script themselves, chat with the calligraphers and enjoy an array of interactive activities. |
