Pupils are the best stage of calligraphy learning. In psychology, people know that the ability to learn imitation is very strong at this stage, especially the training of skills. In modern education, the status of calligraphy education has gradually become prominent. However, in the process of education implementation, it is difficult for us to proceed smoothly. Now calligraphy is divorced from practicality, the number of application groups is reduced, and computers are popular. Under such circumstances, the popularization of calligraphy education has become a problem. Obviously, many primary schools now offer calligraphy classes, but most of them are writing classes, and little knowledge of calligraphy is involved. Moreover, due to the extreme lack of calligraphy teachers, calligraphy education is inherently malnourished and in the basic stage. I think in the word "three strokes", as a primary school student, writing brush calligraphy is the best for at least four reasons.
First, brush calligraphy has profound cultural soil, rich historical remains and excellent examples of lean works. Beginners of brush calligraphy are undoubtedly in line with the principle of "learning from others". In the study of calligraphy, we can not only talk about the generation of calligraphy, but also discuss it with students in the form of stories, so as to promote students' in-depth understanding of China's calligraphy, strengthen their understanding of the history and background of calligraphy, and understand the essence and writing norms of brush.
Secondly, Cai Yong in the Eastern Han Dynasty said that "it is strange to have a soft brush", but now many children's calligraphy teaching is to teach writing instead of experiencing the beauty of calligraphy art. We can make use of the "soft" characteristics of the brush and choose many pictographs as templates for getting started, so as to stimulate students' interest, improve their enthusiasm and guide them to explore and express their calligraphy ability.
Third, the introduction of brush calligraphy is first of all the explanation and standardization of posture. From sitting posture to standing posture to holding a pen, there are strict requirements. Correct posture can not only make better works, but also cultivate students' correct writing habits and cultivate their healthy body and mind.
Fourthly, the study of calligraphy is conducive to the infiltration of moral education, the cultivation of students' national pride and the tempering of students' perseverance. Through the linear training of pen and ink, students' creativity can be cultivated, and students' imagination can be greatly enriched through the study and understanding of hieroglyphics and lettering.
In short, primary school students should learn Chinese calligraphy first. Of course, I would like to add that the prerequisite for getting started is calligraphy, not writing. Only in this way can the artistic function of calligraphy be stimulated to the greatest extent.
