There is a good thing called practicing calligraphy after retirement.

I have been thinking about how to find the fun and value of life and actively enjoy life after retiring from busy work. After three years' search and comparison, I found that practicing calligraphy is a good choice and a good thing for multiple purposes. You can learn about the long-standing culture of China and accumulate some cultural accomplishments. You can cultivate your mind and cultivate a good attitude. You can make friends with calligraphy lovers around you and update the content you communicate with your parents. At the same time, with the guidance and encouragement of calligraphy teachers, parents and calligraphy lovers, I can continue to practice calligraphy and find the fun and beauty of life. Now, practicing calligraphy every day has become a part of my life.

? Practicing calligraphy has given me a good attitude of lifelong learning and optimism.

? My colleagues and I have signed up for the calligraphy class of Jingang Town Senior University. Although there are two hours of classes every Monday. In class, I learned about the great ancient calligraphers Yan Zhenqing, Wang Xizhi and Ou Yangxun ... I learned regular script, running script, official script and cursive script ... I learned that to practice China's calligraphy well, Kung Fu requires strong basic skills after class. Therefore, before each class, it feels particularly good to go to the podium and let Teacher Wang Cheng make face-to-face comments on the words he has practiced. At this time, teachers will teach students in accordance with their aptitude. For a beginner with zero foundation, I will give priority to encouragement and lack guidance. At the same time, I can also appreciate the excellent students' homework, see the ingenious changes of their strokes on the paper, feel the rhythm in the writing process, know the diligence and hard work of the students after class, feel the motivation to write Chinese calligraphy enhanced and find perseverance.

? Practicing brush calligraphy has made me discover a "bad" habit of pursuing perfection.

? Every regular script should be practiced in order of strokes, frame structure, accuracy, conciseness and beauty before practicing changing new words. For example, for an autumn pen, I will consult several teachers and practice for a few days. So my progress is slow, but I can enjoy the feeling that practice makes perfect, so I am willing. When I get better spacing, I will send it to the WeChat group of the calligraphy class of King Kong University for the Aged to bask in the sun like my classmates. At this time, I can get praises and flowers from many calligraphy lovers, and I will feel the power of continuous practice and have a sense of pleasure in my heart. This is called self-appreciation, others' appreciation, everyone's appreciation and common progress.

? Practicing brush calligraphy has given me new content to communicate with my parents.

? Every Sunday, I buy fruits, snacks and vegetables that my parents like to eat. On the one hand, I cook lunch for them. On the other hand, I visit my elderly parents. How to make it meaningful to go home often? Thinking that my father was a calligraphy teacher when he was young, why not let his teaching experience play on me? I took the initiative to be his student. So, I began to practice a word with Professor Tian of Nankai University every day in my own home, and prepared 5-6 self-feeling exercises every week for my dad to comment on, show his values and give full play to his residual heat. Every time my father comments, he is very serious. At first, he will praise me, and slowly point out my shortcomings in holding a pen on the hook. After my father comments on my calligraphy, my mother will help me collect it. She said, "This is my spiritual food. It is good for me to take it out when you are not around. " Mom has become a huge fan of mine.

? I deeply realized that it is really good to practice calligraphy and appreciate calligraphy after retirement. It makes my growth traceable, makes my life full and quiet, gives me an initiative to change my mind, and also gives me a virtuous circle of practicing calligraphy, sharing and communicating with the society. As a result, my mood has changed a lot, and the whole person's breath has become moist and elegant, giving birth to the most authentic happiness for people.
