Chinese Calligraphy were taught to the people of Cauayan City in Isabela in celebration of the Chinese New Year.
According to the instructors, Chinese Calligraphy is a symbol of Chinese culture where they create artistic words and art to express ideas.
Chinese calligraphy first became popular, according to research, during the Han dynasty from 206 BCE to 220 BCE, where fluid strokes, dots, and lines were used to form the characters of ideas.
Also known as ideograms, calligraphy is said to have simple strokes like the character “yong,” which means eternity and consists of eight strokes and dots.
The main scripts that emerged in the past 2000 years, such as Seal, Cursive, Semi-cursive, Clerical, and Standard, were also taught. The students used brushes, paper, ink sticks, and ink stones that were taught.#
