Calligraphy is the traditional culture of China, the quintessence of our country and the profound witness of Chinese civilization. Calligraphy can be popular for thousands of years, from old people to three-year-old children. Generations of people like to learn calligraphy, and calligraphy is listed as an art category, which shows that the charm of calligraphy is enduring and has many benefits.
1. Learning calligraphy can be used as a tool for language communication.
In fact, the earliest calligraphy was used for language communication. For example, Mo Bao, which was handed down by the book sage Wang Xizhi today, is mostly a correspondence between the old gentleman and his relatives and friends. The first advantage of learning calligraphy in ancient times is practicality. Although the practicality of calligraphy has been greatly weakened today, its function still exists. Like ordinary people's Spring Festival couplets, new people's wedding couplets, as well as inscriptions and tombstones, all reflect the practicality of calligraphy.
2. Learning calligraphy can cultivate self-cultivation and cultivate sentiment.
Calligraphy is something you can do only when you calm down. In the process of learning calligraphy, people's minds will enter a state of concentrating on things and forgetting everything, which is of great benefit to cultivating temperament, cultivating sentiment, strengthening the heart and improving intelligence. Some people sorted out the ages of famous calligraphers since the Eastern Han Dynasty, and found that more than 80% of these calligraphers lived long, and one calligrapher lived to 1 10. This also shows that learning calligraphy does have the benefits of self-cultivation and even longevity.

As the saying goes, there are poems in the belly. Calligraphy is in this collection of poems. Gan Kun is around. In calligraphy, there are spring and autumn, historical rise and fall, cultural inheritance and philosophy of life.
