St. Petersburg in September with its golden leaves is very beautiful, so that people could have a feeling of a spring mood. During this awesome time of the year I had a chance to take part in the “International exhibition of calligraphy”. Experts in calligraphy, coming from different countries and regions to the exhibition were demonstrating their achievements in this sphere and could have an opportunity to exchange their experience with the others. I personally got a lot of useful information for my development as a calligrapher from the participation in this exhibition.
Visitors were studying very attentively the exposition, arguing, expressing their own points of view, taking pictures and videos of the exponents that were the most admirable and remarkable to their mind. So, the most promising prediction of the exhibition organizers’ came true. Moreover, numerous schoolchildren visiting the exhibition filled this place with joy, happiness and admire! These small faces with curious looks that were listening attentively to the guide’s every single word is the future generation of the Russian calligraphers…
Heart can’t stop beating with the excitement when you observe with your own eyes how calligraphy was born. To tell the truth, even before the exhibition came to its end I knew already that I would take part in the next calligraphy exhibition. To express my feelings, I wrote a few words:
The first was Petersburg exhibition of international calligraphy,
Great hopes of calligraphy renaissance,
Petersburg is charming in golden autumn with its blooming flowers
Wondrous Flowers are blooming in the cathedral of calligraphy
These flowers painted the cathedral in colours of various shades:
Calligraphy is full of different styles; each of them is a unique one,
The door is opened to a precious museum.
Thanks to human wisdom and vision which initiated the exhibition, Russian culture should be enriched:
The Art of calligraphy is coming from the bottom of a heart
It’s foreseen from century to century.
Sorry for my modest poetic talent. With These words I only wanted to express my feelings that are overwhelming my soul. In China people treat their traditions with care, I hope, in Russia people will always remember their own traditions.
