Hobbies make my life more colourful. In my free time, I take up calligraphy as my hobby. I like calligraphy because it can make me stay calm.
Calligraphy is close to the daily life of Chinese people. We can see it almost everywhere. During the Spring Festival, people put different forms of “Fu” on their doors. People believe how to write the word shows the calligrapher's understanding of life and arts. That's why “Fu” has different forms. So many Chinese treat calligraphy as a way to keep the mind and body fit and healthy.
Practising calligraphy has taught me to be patient and calm. Sometimes, I have to spend hours making a wonderful work quietly. You know, not talking for hours is boring. However, if I complete a beautiful work, the happiness will be more than words.
