In the cold winter months, the weather in the north is dry and cold. The sky is not bright enough yet, and there is a table set up on the street, which is still deserted. On the table are several knives of red paper, a broken bowl, a bottle of ink, and a thin young man holding a brush, splashing ink, and drawing a picture. Another exquisite Spring Festival couplet was born under his pen. More and more people gathered on the street, but standing in the cold wind, he didn't know the cold and fatigue.
People watching the *** couplet at this time may not know how much energy this figure in front of them, who does not look very strong, will exude in the Chinese calligraphy world in a few years.
