🇳🇱 Have you heard of Niksen?

In the Netherlands, Niksen is the idea of slowing down, doing nothing, and simply enjoying the moment.

Taiwanese people are often busy, but we have our own version of Niksen too!

☁️ 放空 (fàng kōng)
To zone out, daydream, or let your mind wander.

😎 耍廢 (shuǎ fèi)
To do absolutely nothing and enjoy it.

Which one sounds more like your weekend?

今天我們一起來學習文房四寶（Wénfáng Sìbǎo）。Today we'll learn about the Four Treasures of the Study.
文房四寶是傳統書法與繪畫藝術中不可或缺的四大工具。它們不僅是書寫與創作的用品，更承載著深厚的人文精神與文化底蘊。
The Four Treasures of the Study are the four essential tools used in traditional calligraphy and painting. They are not only artistic instruments but also symbols of a rich cultural heritage.
🖌️ 一、筆（毛筆）�Bǐ (Máobǐ)�Calligraphy Brush
毛筆是書法與國畫創作的重要工具，不同的筆毫能表現出豐富多變的線條與筆觸。
The Calligraphy brush is a key tool for calligraphy and traditional painting, capable of creating a wide variety of expressive strokes and lines.
🖤 二、墨（墨汁）�Mò (Mòzhī)�Ink
墨用於書寫和繪畫，濃淡變化能展現獨特的藝術效果。
Ink is used for writing and painting, and its varying shades create distinctive artistic expressions.
📜 三、紙(宣紙)�Zhǐ (Xuānzhǐ )�Paper
傳統書畫常使用宣紙，其吸墨性佳，適合展現筆墨韻味。
Traditional calligraphy and painting often use Xuan paper, known for its excellent ink absorption and artistic qualities.
🪨 四、硯（硯台）�Yàn (Yàntái)�Inkstone
硯台用來研墨，是書房中不可缺少的重要文具。
An inkstone is used for grinding ink and is an indispensable item in a traditional scholar’s studio.

Have you ever held a brush, or wondered how each stroke flows across the paper?

Whether you’ve learned to write characters before or are completely new, this is an invitation to experience them in a different way. More than just brush and ink, this gathering brings together elements of Taiwanese culture — hands-on creativity, light refreshments, and shared moments in a relaxed environment.

Highlights:

No tests or pressure, just a calm and creative experience
Open to both beginners and those with experience
Ages 9+ are welcome with sufficient focus
A chance to slow down, connect, and create a shared Taiwanese cultural memory abroad

Step beyond the classroom — or discover it for the first time — and turn this into a moment to remember.

2. 看 (kàn) — to look / to watch

(Nǐ xǐhuān kàn shān, háishì kàn hǎi?)
Do you like looking at the mountains or the ocean?
