As one of the 24 Solar Terms, Da Shu 大暑 'great heat' means the hottest time of the year is coming. In 2019, the Da Shu day is 23rd July. The heat will last till Li Qiu 立秋 ‘autumn begins' on 8th August 2019. Let's do some nice fresh paintings to help cool ourselves.

Recently Bruges Confucius Institute came with inkston to visit the Old Hu Kai Wen Factory to see how the traditional inksticks are made by masters. We found a lot of very interesting things to share. Inkstick recipes are still confidential but visitors are allowed to visit 4 workshops: soot collection room, raw materials mixing room, inkstick cellar, and painting room. Also, visitors can join the Old Hu Kai Wen intensive inkstick workshop. The price is 80 RMB and the course lasts for around 2 hours. In this article, you will see interesting photos we have taken in our trip.
