Celebrating Tradition: The 2026 Chinese New Year Calligraphy Competition
As we prepare to welcome the Year of the Horse, the timeless art of Chinese calligraphy takes center stage. This ancient tradition, which blends artistic expression with cultural heritage, remains a cornerstone of Lunar New Year celebrations. To honor this legacy, a national-level Spring Calligraphy Competition is set to take place, inviting practitioners of all ages to showcase their skill and creativity in a vibrant public setting.

The event promises to be an inspiring display of ink and brushwork, bringing together a community of artists dedicated to preserving this beautiful craft.
