In our school, in addition to practicing calligraphy in class, the school also specially invited a calligraphy teacher, and ten students in each class participated in this calligraphy class. I am very lucky. From the first grade, I practiced pencil writing in this class, then pen writing, and began to write with a brush in the third grade. During this period, I waved a brush full of ink and swam in the ocean of calligraphy. I have tasted bitterness and joy.
I remember the first time I went to the soft pen calligraphy class. Teacher Ji told us some basic knowledge of Chinese calligraphy: writing Chinese calligraphy must be "three eyes, three hearts and three hands". Pay attention to brushwork and strokes when writing brush characters, that is, "a silkworm's head is like a goose's tail". The teacher talked a lot, which seemed incomprehensible to me. ......
Then Teacher Ji first wrote a "one" on the blackboard. "Wow" I can't help exclaiming. That pen, that pen, is strong, honorable and enviable. I thought to myself: This is the "silkworm head and goose tail". When Mr. Ji writes a stroke, he will explain how to write the stroke correctly and how to write it incorrectly. I listen carefully and watch carefully.
It's our turn to write by ourselves, but the light brush has turned into a thousand-pound stone in my hand. How to hold the pen feels bad, and the "one" written is winding, and there is no feeling of "silkworm head and goose tail". Practice "silk" painting, always one step less. Without a pen, just hold it out, lacking the unique charm of Chinese characters.
When I got home, I thought about it carefully and found that I just drew a gourd ladle and didn't get the point at all. While recalling the theoretical knowledge told by my teacher, I tried to put pen to pen and immerse myself in the study of "Silkworm Head and Wild Goose Tail". Since then, practicing calligraphy for 20 minutes every day has become a part of homework. Start with "point", "horizontal" and "vertical". It is repeated every day, and gradually, every stroke becomes a crooked word, and gradually, the crooked word becomes a straight word.
Before the Spring Festival last year, the school held a "Calligraphy Competition for Writing Spring Festival couplets", requiring a class to select four people. I am one of them. My efforts were selected by the teacher. I was ecstatic, but also a little scared. I have been practicing on plaid paper and haven't written Spring Festival couplets yet. What should I do? I will work harder to support my mother to buy back ten pairs of red couplets and divide them into dozens. Only two days left. Can you finish practicing? But when I think of the teacher's trusting eyes and hopeful eyes, I pick up a pen, one, two, three. ......
"No pains, no gains", my efforts were not in vain. I won the third prize in "Writing Spring Festival couplets". Although it is a small honor, it makes me understand the truth that "one minute on stage, ten years off stage" and "no pains, no gains". These principles inspire me, inspire me, continue to work hard, strive for higher honor, and constantly surpass myself. This may be the real fun of learning calligraphy!
