Chinese Calligraphy Session @ ECC

Our seniors enjoy Chinese calligraphy and are pursuing this hobby at FRCS Eldercare and Caregivers Centre, in Bukit Gombak. To usher in the Year of the Rabbit, our seniors wrote Chinese Couplets to express hope and anticipation for good things to come in the Lunar New Year, or Spring Festival.

Chun Lian or Spring Festival Couplets, are written in black ink on red paper, as expressions of hope from the calligrapher for the new year. They are decorations for the main door and walls of the home, to attract good luck. 🧧🌸

FRCS ECC is a senior activity centre in the west of Singapore where our members gather to exercise, socialise, and learn new skills. After one retires, art forms like calligraphy previously learned in school can be picked up for self development again.
