甲辰年教职员挥春比赛 推广书法，传承文化02

享受书法需静心
林齐荟老师（教务处助理）

        我每年都会响应教职员挥春比赛，旨在参与其中，用春节的氛围来提醒自己——又到了该调整自己的时刻，就如春节前要大扫除一样，透过写一幅让自己满意的字，从慢中取静，才能让原本乱糟糟的心态“一元复始”。我认为写书法非常考验耐心。在我大学期间，墨不是如今的成品墨，而是一块完整的墨块，需要花些时间慢慢地加水磨墨才能形成墨汁。这是写书法前最重要的步骤。当时，老师让我们花费15分钟磨出一盘墨，这个过程让我了解到写书法时需要静下心来，才能完成一幅令自己满意的作品。

独写乐不如众挥乐
邝美玉老师（特优奖得奖者之一）

        什么事令我觉得自己是“龙的传人”？参加挥春比赛。我以书法初学者的心态参赛，每一次觉得有新鲜感。赛前，临帖练字；赛中，力求超越第一幅作品；赛后，殷盼喜讯。特优奖，得来不易，衷心感谢好毛笔与评审的青睐。期许自己跳出写字的框架，写出既有情感和又有创意的春联。此项活动让三大民族齐聚在墨艺轩，岂不是"独写乐不如众挥乐"（自个儿写书法的快乐比不上大伙儿一起挥春来得快乐）吗？

kali ketiga menyertai Fai  Chun
Cikgu Selle（不谙华语组优秀奖得奖者之一）

        Sejak memasuki Hin Hua, saya telah bersentuhan dengan Fai Chun yang saya rasa sangat menarik. Saya mula menyertai pertandingan Fai Chun sekolah pada tahun 2022. Tahun ini merupakan kali ketiga saya menyertai pertandingan ini. Saya mengambil bahagian dalam pertandingan ini adalah untuk mencuba dan mengenali seni budaya dalam bentuk kaum Cina. Saya berasa gembira kerana dapat mempelajari kemahiran baru semasa pertandingan. Pertandingan Fai Chun juga dapat memeriahkan suasana di sekolah.

A wonderful cross-cultural experience
Ms. Gladys Symons（不谙华语组优秀奖得奖者之一）

        I am thinking of participating in this competition because I want to learn how to write proper calligraphy so that I can embrace Chinese’s culture. I think Fai Chun has unique features that I could learn which is not as easy as it performs to the audience. The difficulties that I encountered during the Fai Chun celebration is to ensure the strokes are accurate and to maintain the same stroke pattern repetitively. I think this competition is amazing to continue the tradition and it could engage the participants across cultures. 

 

A great opportunity to improve calligraphy skills
Ms. Menaka（不谙华语组特优奖得奖者之一）

        I've always had a deep appreciation for the elegance and beauty of Chinese calligraphy, and I've always admired the skill and dedication required to master this art form. Participating in this competition provided me with a platform to showcase my passion for calligraphy. Additionally, it is an opportunity to challenge myself and to continuously strive for improvement in my calligraphy skills. Winning the competition filled me with a sense of accomplishment and pride. I see it as a moment of personal achievement and served as a reminder of the progress I had made. Overall, it was a very rewarding experience.

        One memorable experience during the competition was the sense of camaraderie among the participants, organizers and the guests because there was mutual respect and appreciation for each other's work. I fondly remember the moments of shared enthusiasm and encouragement as we observed each other's work, exchanging laughter, insights and techniques.
