‘Ong Do’ is a scholar who teaches and writes old Vietnamese letters (pictographic letters).  During Tet, people go to see him to ask him to write letters on a parchment to wish for good energy for the coming year such as happiness, health, wealth, etc.  This art of writing is almost lost nowadays.  In order to preserve the ancient Vietnamese calligraphy, the government is holding an event on the occasion of the Lunar New Year at Van Mieu - Vietnam’s first university.
