What should we start with when learning calligraphy in third grade of primary school?

Teach children to have a certain amount of patience, and at the same time, pay attention to whether the children themselves can endure it and whether they are interested in calligraphy. Here are the specific steps.

First, get a pen. When I was studying, the teacher asked me to get close to the bristles of the pen and place my whole wrist on the felt, so that it would be easier to control the pen. Of course, once you reach a certain level, you can lift your wrist to write, because then you can see the overall situation and let go of your hands and feet.

Second, don’t rush to write. After laying out the pen, ink, and paper felt, teach the children to draw circles and flowers in the "rice" grid on the felt paper. The so-called "circle" means starting from the center point of the rice character and going around in circles like the "wavy candy texture". The circle drawn should try to keep "even strokes, even strokes between strokes, and many circles"; the so-called "flower", The petals are drawn in sequence along the eight branches of the "rice" grid, but remember to follow the "8" stroke order (if you don't quite understand, just figure it out yourself or ask your friends) to cultivate children's interest. . These two are the basic foundation for practicing the feeling of the pen.

Third, make it clear what font and which font you want to write in, and then buy a copybook. For starters, some say to use official script and others say to use regular script. I suggest using regular script. Regular script is used to lay the foundation and sharpen the mind. Once you have mastered regular script, the others are all variations of it or are easier to learn than it. But it needs to be explained. It is not easy to reach the peak of regular script writing. I used Liu Gongquan's "Liu Ti" character for the first time, because it has detailed stroke order and structure, as well as the position of each character in the "meter" character grid, which is easy to imitate. But I don’t know if it is still available for purchase now. Please go look for it and see if there are any similar copybooks.
