First, the emergence of China's calligraphy is accompanied by the emergence of Chinese characters. China's earliest systematic writing is Oracle Bone Inscriptions, which is already very beautiful. After Oracle Bone Inscriptions, the development of fonts was bronze inscription, seal script, official script, running script, cursive script and regular script. Note that the cursive script is the latest. Regular script is richer and more complete in brushwork and more rigorous in structure. Although cursive script is rich in brushwork, its structure is not as rigorous as regular script. Among them, inscriptions on bronze and seal script are simple in brushwork and interesting in structure. One is easy to use, and the other is to satisfy the curiosity of primary school students.
Second, the basic pen used in seal script and official script is very simple, that is, a pen used in the center, and the requirements for using a pen in the center are very simple. Mr. Qiu Zhenzhong pointed out in "China Calligraphy 167 Exercise" that the pen used in a center is the direction pointed by the nib when writing with a brush, which is opposite to the direction in which the brush runs. The center pen can improve the writer's ability to control and express the brush, and can better feel the soft tip of the brush. It is easier for pupils to write. Moreover, the basic structural characteristics of seal script and official script are uniformity and symmetry, which is very helpful for the establishment and improvement of primary school students' aesthetic observation ability.
Third, the requirement of using a pen in the center is very simple, that is, when writing, it is necessary to ensure that the direction of the nib points in the opposite direction of the brush running. However, in the process of writing, it is difficult to control the writing force, that is, lifting and pressing. Also, it is difficult to control the writing speed, that is, the sense of rhythm.
Pupils generally do not recommend practicing running script. However, if you are a senior primary school student, such as a sixth-grade student, and your writing ability is good, you can get in touch with running script, which is still helpful to writing efficiency, that is, practical.
