At the beginning of the year, stop by Tea Resort Prenn to ask for good luck

 “At the beginning of the year, the pen opens, the pen blooms”

If Westerners believe that time is a straight line that always moves forward and cannot go back, Eastern people believe that time is an endless cycle. When that cycle of time ends, a new year begins, heaven and earth gain a new age, and all things seem to be reborn. That is also the reason why at the beginning of the year we often attach importance to "firsts" such as going out for the first time, breaking into the house, opening a pen... 

For many generations, the art of calligraphy and the custom of writing at the beginning of the year have always brought a unique Tet flavor. With just a few lines that are concise, concise, and full of meaning, the writer can delicately encapsulate all the wishes of the new year. Vietnamese people have maintained the custom of asking for words - giving words and starting the year with calligraphy, as a way to extend the nation's tradition of studiousness and respect for teachers.
