Within the ancient and serene atmosphere of Thái Học house, part of the Văn Miếu-Quốc Tử Giám historical site, 36 art pieces comprising 100 calligraphy works are on display. This exhibition serves as a gathering place for calligraphy enthusiasts, creating a unique space that has attracted a large number of visitors to admire and enjoy its beauty.
Immersed in the distinctive artistic ambiance of the ancient capital where he grew up, Pham Xuan Truong (Hanoi) reflected on the contemplative and refined essence of calligraphy:"The exhibition is uniquely curated and designed, honoring the beauty of Thang Long - Hanoi's land and people and highlighting the value of the calligraphy works. As a child of this thousand-year-old cultural land, I hope the heritage left by our ancestors will continue to be preserved, developed, and refreshed. Undoubtedly, exhibitions like this make it easier for the public to connect with and appreciate the traditional cultural values of our forebears."
Đặng Thi Thu Thảo, born in 1997 in Đà Nẵng, shared her thoughts:"Through the art of calligraphy, the exhibition offers visitors a fresh, interesting perspective and helps young people better understand the cultural values of Thang Long - Hanoi."
Calligraphy is renowned as a graceful, serene, deliberate art form that employs brushes and ink. The exhibition, "Huong Sac Thang Long" (The Fragrance and Colors of Thăng Long), blends calligraphy with installation art to celebrate the timeless beauty of Thăng Long - Hanoi, showcasing immortal poetry, prose, and the scholarly essence of historical authors.
The exhibition runs until December 3, 2024, at the Thái Học area of the Văn Miếu – Quốc Tử Giám Special National Monument, 58 Quoc Tu Giam Street, Đống Đa District, Hanoi.
