MY 3RD DAY IN CHINA - PARK

Dearvalued visitors and readers,

Due to summer season there, we woke up early in the morning due to longer daylight hours and sky was bright even in the early morning. On our way to catch a bus to Jiangsu Water Town Zhouzhuang, we saw lots of people were performing their daily morning exercise at the park, so we decided to walk around the park.












People were doing their morning exercise near the Cross.







People were performing their daily exercise at the arch of the park.

What really caught my attention most is the Chinese brush writing.





The master of calligraphy was practicing his writing on the floor.

The big brush he used amazed me because it was filled with water and environmentally friendly as the wording will not stay on the floor. Innovative and creative way.


One of his students sweated profusely while practicing brush writing. On inquired, I was told that he needs to stand properly so as to have the right posture to write with full concentration on the word. He also needed to stand in a way that enable him to move freely, yet firmly when writing. He will then enjoy every brush of his writing and the peace he obtained is marvelous - that's the way to keep him fit and healthy. He even taught me a few steps and I did enjoy it. I found him very humble and cheerful, as it was reflected on his face.







I ponder how wonderful it will be if we can keep the elderly person to stay healthy and happy by teaching them to have such meaningful morning exercises. It will help them stay active and healthy; so as everyone can have a better life.


Thanks for your time and have a fruitful day,


James Oh

The secret of happiness is that you must feel contented no matter what situation you are in. Look at positive side and have good fun of it.

I am glad that you too enjoy this post.

James,Exercising the body is good for physical health and what is equally important is 'exercising' of the mind as well. The calligraphy master was doing both. Standing firm on both legs, arm moving freely and with the mind focusing on the writings.Thanks

I love the phrase you used "The calligraphy master was doing both. Standing firm on both legs, arm moving freely and with the mind focusing on the writings." that's well explained all. Thanks, Mr Cheah.

I guess you too very keen in Chinese calligraphy or paint brush. Right?

CheaHSan said...

Yeah I love art and music in general especially abstract. Sorry dont read Chinese but do enjoy calligraphy as an art when comes to the strokes. Thanks

Unknown said...

Both art and music are healthy hobbies. You will be surprised that lots know Chinese, yet do not enjoy calligraphy. I guess because of your love in art make you enjoy more things in life. Art is fun. Right?

CheaHSan said...

Art is fun and music is my life..

Cheah,
Both art and music are well complementary each other to enrich your life. Trust both will accompany you forever,

Do have a wonderful life everyday,
