Over 10,000 people have been flocking to the Temple of Literature in downtown Ha Noi during the lunar New Year to ask for calligraphy works created by scholars to hang at home for good luck or as home decorations, according to Le Xuan Kieu, director of the Cultural and Scientific Centre at the Temple of Literature.
Particularly, the 2018 Spring Calligraphy opening at the Temple of Literature has drawn a large number of visitors.
During the festival, which runs from February 9 to February 25, a retrospective display has been on show, helping visitors learn more about the country’s education during the feudal period.
It also features a wide range of cultural activities showcasing the value of Vietnamese traditional folk culture, including an area for handicrafts from Ha Noi’s trade villages, a display of folk paintings and folk games./.
