Description of Our Community: Chinese calligraphy is the quintessence of Chinese culture. The Chinese characters are composed of dots and lines. Writing with a soft brush can especially show the characteristics of various fonts in different periods, which convey the beauty of lines, symmetry, principle, style, and artistic concept, representing thousands of years of history; therefore, calligraphy is indisputably the "legacy of intangible culture". In the historical township, Lukang, Changhua, there are many famous calligraphers especially, and every household is posted with spring couplets, making the town filled with scholastic atmosphere. "Yuyuxuan Calligraphy Society" is located in Changhua City. The founder, Huang Wen-Chiung, is a Lukang native, who was deeply influenced by her family and started to learn calligraphy at a young age from Nien Wen-Yi, a famous calligraphy teacher in Lukang. Later, she won the High Distinction Award in the National Calligraphy Competition and then got the teaching certificate. Afterwards, she began teaching calligraphy in many elementary and middle schools and has been striving to promote Chinese calligraphy culture.
