Chinese calligraphy focuses not only on methods of writing but also on cultivating one's character. It is also a good practice to reduce your stress and contribute to your wellbeing. While you are practising, you need to be calm and be very focused on the control of the brush. You then must let go of any other thoughts in your mind, which gives a good break to your brain and helps you feel less stressed.
This interactive activity will have tutors from the Confucius Institute at the University of Southampton to demonstrate how to use ink and brushes to write Chinese words and you will get a chance to practise. You may also have your name beautifully written in Chinese calligraphy by the tutors and take it home.
