My uncle is an animal husbandry expert and a calligrapher. His beautiful handwriting has made me envious for many years. I had the idea of ??asking him to teach me calligraphy very early on, and it wasn’t until Sunday last week that I actually started learning from him.
That day I got up very early, went to the stationery store, bought pen and ink, and went to my uncle’s house. As soon as I entered the door, I saw my uncle carrying a backpack with water and dry food, as if he was going on a trip. When my uncle saw me, he said happily: "Let's go hiking today." I was confused and thought, "Didn't you agree to teach me calligraphy?" My uncle seemed to see what I was thinking. He smiled mysteriously and said: "The first calligraphy lesson does not require the use of tools, and it is not at home!" We took a car to the foot of Yuelu Mountain. As he walked, his uncle said: "Chinese calligraphy is extensive and profound, carrying a long culture of thousands of years. Learning calligraphy is like climbing a mountain, with different purposes and different gains. Professional mountaineers learn to climb mountains
Skills, some of us do it to exercise, some just to enjoy the natural scenery, some return halfway up the mountain, and some will not stop until the top of the mountain. We have different ideas and different gains. ”
I seemed to understand but not understand, and we started to move forward. The uncle continued: "Character can be seen from the cultivation of art. Just as when you read Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy, you will feel the fullness of his personality; when you read Liu Gongquan's calligraphy, you will feel his true character; when you read Ouyang Xun's calligraphy, you will feel his true character. , you will feel the elegance of his life. This is the ancient saying that the quality of books is like the character of a person."
I seemed to understand a little bit, and we were already halfway up the mountain. Our field of vision also became wider. We sat down to eat some dry food, drank some water, took a nap, and continued moving forward. My uncle said: "Calligraphy is writing. It's easy to get started, but difficult to write exquisitely. If you want to be successful, you need to study hard. It's like climbing a mountain. Only those who never give up until they reach the top can succeed. They may become the biggest winners. Not only did they enjoy the beauty of the world, but they also enjoyed themselves physically and mentally. "Looking at my uncle walking in front, I felt that his back was getting taller and taller.
Unknowingly, we arrived at the top of the mountain, and the view became even wider. It was really "like being at the top of the mountain and seeing all the small mountains at a glance." My uncle said: "Now that we have reached the top of the mountain, let's go and worship the Buddha!" ??The monk at the door of the temple said: "Donor, buy a stick of incense!" My uncle said: "The Buddha is sitting in my heart, and the incense in my heart is a petal to worship the gods!" I couldn't help but My heart is beating, what beautiful words!
This is really a unique calligraphy class! Standing on the top of the mountain, I felt another kind of scenery of life.
