Practicing beautiful handwriting - a "strange" attraction in the 4.0 era

In a digitized society, the need for handwriting is gradually being replaced by the convenience of electronic devices. However, it is precisely in this context that the value of handwriting is further affirmed. The convenience and speed that technology brings are undeniable. However, along with this development, people seem to be losing some of the personal connection and emotion that handwriting provides.

A carefully written handwritten letter, a greeting card with elegant words, or simply a neatly presented note always conveys a much more sincere and intimate feeling than meaningless electronic messages.

"Handwriting reflects character," implying that handwriting, in addition to preserving and transmitting information, also reveals the personality of the writer.

Beautiful handwriting not only demonstrates the writer's carefulness and meticulousness but is also considered an art form, reflecting personality and soul. Many believe that practicing beautiful handwriting also helps cultivate patience, discipline, and concentration – valuable qualities in modern life.

Recognizing this demand, calligraphy classes and centers are springing up in increasing numbers, attracting people of all ages, from elementary school students, middle and high school students, and university students wanting to improve their handwriting for better academic results, to adults wishing to hone their soft skills or simply find a refined hobby. In Ha Tinh , it's not difficult to find calligraphy training centers with a growing number of students.

The class attracts a large number of students who are passionate about practicing beautiful handwriting.

According to Ms. Nguyen Thi Dieu, the founder of the Co Dieu Calligraphy Club, the number of students registering for classes has increased significantly recently. Not only students, but also university students, working professionals, and others come to learn with the desire to cultivate carefulness and patience. Even older people come to improve their handwriting or simply find a quiet space to practice their skills.

Nguyen Thao Vy (Thanh Sen ward, Ha Tinh province) excitedly shared: "Initially, I came to the handwriting class because my parents wanted me to improve my handwriting. My handwriting used to be bad and not neat. After a few lessons, I found myself enjoying it more. Handwriting practice not only helps me write better but also trains me in patience, meticulousness, and concentration. Every time I complete a beautiful line of writing, I feel very happy and proud."

Practicing beautiful handwriting helps to cultivate perseverance, carefulness, discipline, and aesthetic sense in children.

It can be said that in the 4.0 era, the profession of calligraphy has not disappeared but is transforming and adapting to find new values and spaces for development.

According to Ms. Dao Quynh Chung (Deputy Head of the Vietnamese Calligraphy Club) - who has many years of experience teaching calligraphy in Ha Tinh - in the face of the digital age, practicing beautiful handwriting is about cultivating the mind. It's not just about practicing handwriting, but also about cultivating character. Furthermore, handwriting carries profound cultural value. Preserving and promoting the beauty of the Vietnamese script is how today's generation shows respect for the precious cultural heritage of their ancestors.

It's clear that amidst the fast-paced life of the 4.0 era, the art of calligraphy has not faded into obscurity; on the contrary, it has affirmed its vitality and unique value. It's not simply about practicing handwriting, but also a journey of self-discovery and self-improvement, helping students and adults find peace and joy in each stroke. This is truly a unique and meaningful attraction in a context where digital technology is increasingly dominating our lives.
