Residents receive free Spring Festival couplets


Many communities hosted events where calligraphers and calligraphy enthusiasts wrote Spring Festival couplets on site and presented them to local residents.

Chinese have the tradition to paste couplets on their doors and lintels on the Spring Festival as a way to convey wishes for peace, fortune and good luck in the coming year. The events rendered the residents help in their preparations for festival celebrations.
    For example, in the event at Wencuilu Community, famous calligrapher Wang Chiji and a group of youngsters who are learning traditional Chinese handwriting wrote Spring Festival couplets for the residents, and several local volunteers offered assistance in the process.
