The SOPMCA Community’s Calligraphy Seminar

The SOPMCA community’s calligraphy seminar and “Fu” (福 – Blessings) writing experience concluded with joyous laughter and smiles. Over 30 residents, guided by Master. Qian, delved into the evolution of Chinese characters from oracle bone script to the Tang and Song dynasties, learning the art of crafting beautiful “Fu” characters on traditional Chinese square paper.

A highlight of the event was the special presence of Chinese-Australian officers from the Auburn Police Area Command. They not only extended Lunar New Year blessings but also provided valuable insights on enhancing community safety awareness. This event not only served as a cultural exchange platform but also deepened the community’s understanding of safety measures.

Our community residents showcased remarkable calligraphy talents, surprising everyone with their unexpectedly excellent skills. Even beginners displayed a level of proficiency that suggested an innate talent engraved in their genes. The moments when children earnestly wrote were particularly touching, emphasizing the preciousness of preserving Chinese culture in a foreign land.

For those who missed today’s seminar, fret not! This Saturday, we will host another free calligraphy and “Fu” writing activity at the entrance of WWP New Oriental Supermarket. We look forward to meeting more residents. Additionally, we welcome any amount of donations, as this will contribute to future exciting community events organized by our community association.

A heartfelt thank you to all the volunteers who made today’s event even more spectacular!

活动小结：SOPMCA社区书法讲座与写福体验成功结束！

SOPMCA社区组织的书法讲座与写福体验在欢声笑语中圆满落幕。现场30多位居民在钱娟梅老师的引导下，深入学习了汉字从甲骨文到唐宋的演变，同时学会了如何在斗方上书写出优美的福字。

Auburn警局的华人警员们也特地赶来，为大家送上新春祝福，同时也进行了社区安全知识的科普。这次活动不仅为居民提供了文化交流的平台，也让大家对社区的安全有了更深入的了解。

我们社区居民展现了出色的书法天赋，令人刮目相看。即便是初学者，他们展现出的技艺出奇地出色，看来这份天赋是深深刻在骨子里的基因所带来的。特别是小朋友认真书写的瞬间，更是让人感慨良多，中华文化在异国他乡的传承显得格外珍贵。

如果您错过了今天的讲座，别担心！本周六在WWP新东方超市门口，我们将再次举办免费的书法写福活动，期待与更多居民相见。同时，我们也欢迎任何金额的捐款，这将有助于社区协会在未来为大家呈现更多精彩的社区活动。

最后，衷心感谢今天所有的志愿者们，是你们的付出让这次活动更加精彩！
