The gains from writing calligraphy
I was very envious of my classmates who could write calligraphy with calligraphy. I mentioned to my father several times that I wanted to learn calligraphy. This summer vacation, my father finally agreed. ”
Dad went out early in the morning. At noon, Dad came back excitedly with the teacher and bought a lot of rice paper, Yuan Shu paper and various other utensils for writing. I took out a few brushes from the bag. They were several long-edge 'hair brushes' of different sizes. I jumped up with excitement and hurried over to get the brushes to prepare for writing. Dad said, "Don't worry, don't worry. Urgent, let the teacher teach you how to open a new pen first. "The teacher said: "First, soak the new pen in cold or warm water, wait until the pen is completely soaked, then wash the glue on the bristles, and then gently use your hands to smooth out the tip of the brush from top to bottom. This is considered to be the completion of cleaning a pen. A wet pen must be hung in the air or placed flat on the table. It cannot be inserted directly into the pen holder, because when it is wet, the moisture will concentrate at the root for a long time, which can easily rot the pen bristles. And it’s the same reason why you can’t use a pen cover. "It seems that if you want to learn to write, there is really a lot of preparation work.
Finally, I can officially start writing calligraphy. The teacher taught me to spread out a piece of Yuanshu paper first, and said to me, "Xiaoyu, let's start with seal script. To start, practice writing horizontally and vertically first. "I picked up the brush and was about to dip it in ink. The teacher said: "No, no, you can't let the dry brush be dipped in ink directly. You must first make the hair of the brush full of water and then dry it before you can dip it in ink and write." I nodded and started to do as the teacher asked.
The teacher picked up the brush and drew a picture The stroke order chart provided me with an example. I tried to write a stroke, but the teacher said I made a mistake, so I tried it again with my hand, and it was much better than before. Dad applauded me and praised me. I started to learn to write vertically, but I didn’t expect that it took the teacher several times to teach me how to write horizontally and vertically. I write well, but sometimes my writing is not good. It seems that learning anything requires hard work.
