Calligraphy fascinates me
"Lift it lightly, press it lightly, turn the tip of the pen, and move the pen to the center, like a hammer passing through sand marks, or a knife cutting thin paper..." This seems to be The so-called "martial arts secrets" in martial arts novels are actually the key points for learning calligraphy. Looking at the certificate for the third prize in calligraphy, I couldn't help but recall the time when I learned calligraphy.
One time I went to a calligraphy exhibition. Looking at the varied and endlessly delicious calligraphy works, I was really envious! It would be great if I could also write well! With my mother's permission, I began the journey of picking up a pen and pursuing my dream...
I came to the teacher's studio with great interest. As soon as you step into the door, a strong fragrance of ink hits your nostrils, and the paintings and calligraphy in the studio add to the antique and bookish atmosphere. I walked in, and the figure of the teacher writing attracted my attention.
I saw the teacher standing in front of the table as steady as a rock, picking up a slender brush, dipping it full of ink and starting to write. The teacher's hand shakes rapidly, the wrist is extremely flexible, and the force is clever. The pen moves like a dragon and a snake, as smart and elegant as the breeze; The running script has appeared on the paper. Standing by and watching, I was so engrossed that I forgot to say hello to the teacher. The teacher smiled slightly and said, "I can see that you like calligraphy very much. You have to endure hardships to learn it here. What font do you want to learn? Regular script? Regular script? Cursive script? Or Di script?" I was intoxicated by the teacher's writing movements. , unable to figure out what the teacher was talking about, he nodded wildly, causing the senior students present to laugh.
However, when I "played freely", I really felt the pain. I thought that just a few random strokes would be enough, but my hand just wouldn't obey me, and the words I wrote were crooked. I was not discouraged, and took the trouble to write countless words on pieces of paper: "一"... It was in the scorching summer, and the studio was like a big furnace. A huge amount of sweat slid down my face and my back. It was already soaked, and others went to rest, but I gritted my teeth and continued practicing... Unknowingly, two hours passed, the sun set, and I finally passed the stage of practicing strokes. The teacher praised me greatly. I was so happy that I jumped three feet high and even hummed a tune while walking!
From then on, I kept meditating on how to use the pen. Whenever I had time, I would take out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and write two pages. After a week, my calligraphy improved rapidly, and I was often criticized by my teacher. Thanks to his appreciation, I studied harder.
Hard work pays off, and this calligraphy certificate is the best testimony. I also became more fascinated with calligraphy. Calligraphy not only cultivated my sentiment inadvertently, but also developed my perseverance!
