1, cultivate the excellent quality of hard work and perseverance.
Learning calligraphy is not three days or two days, nor two or three years. "The road is long and Xiu Yuan is awkward, and I will search up and down." ! It requires learners to have perseverance that ordinary people can't have, and spend a lifetime learning and improving themselves; It requires learners to have a hard-working spirit, not to fish for three days and dry the net for two days, but to use all available time to study.
"Wealth must be diligent, and men must read the Five Classics." When hard work becomes a habit, then we will naturally become hard-working and persistent people, and this good quality will become the bright spot on us and light up our life path.
2. More advanced knowledge.
Calligraphy is not just writing, writing is a technology, and calligraphy is an art. How can you learn poetry and songs without learning calligraphy art? How can you not learn from a hundred schools? How can you not learn the traditional culture of China? In the process of learning calligraphy, a great deal of China cultural knowledge will be involved, and we will unconsciously learn from it, enrich our knowledge reserves, enhance our own realm, and make ourselves a "learned" person.
3. Cultivate correct life values and be an upright person.
It is often said that "words are like people", write well and be a good person. Liu Gongquan, a famous calligrapher and poet in the middle Tang Dynasty, once said that "the heart is right and the words are right". In the practice bit by bit, in the study of boosting pressure, we learn not only technology, but more importantly, learn to be a man, be down-to-earth, be modest and upright.
4. Cultivate and enhance aesthetic taste.
Wang Sengqian, a great calligrapher in the Southern Dynasties, has a famous book theory in "Praise of Literary Style": "The wonderful way of books is that the spirit is the highest, and the form and quality are the second". Chinese characters are composed of stippling and have aesthetic value. In the process of writing, the speed of writing, the density of structure and the weight of stippling are not only the expression of emotion, but also the expression of aesthetic feeling. Establishing a correct aesthetic view and knowing what beauty is and how to make it more beautiful in the study of appreciating stickers and calligraphy skills will stimulate our pursuit of beauty and our motivation to create beauty. ?
Appreciating a good calligraphy work is like being in it, feeling its charm and strength, pleasing to the eye and pleasing to the eye.
5, physical fitness, happy body and mind is of great benefit.
Lu You, a great poet in the Song Dynasty, said, "Laughing and playing with a pen and inkstone is a mild illness." . In other words, practicing calligraphy helps to keep fit and prevent diseases. Writing is a kind of light physical labor. Although light, almost all the body needs exercise. When writing, the head is loose, the body is straight and the feet are safe; When you write, your fingers are upright, your wrists are flat and your elbows are raised. "The strength is on the waist, so that the whole body can go down to the wrist."
In addition, when practicing calligraphy, practitioners have a healthy mind, hold their breath, have no distractions, feel comfortable, and have smooth blood vessels, which can regulate depression and stabilize their minds. Therefore, "learning books to prolong life" also has certain scientific basis.
Calligraphy in Song Dynasty:?
Calligraphy in Song Dynasty attached importance to artistic conception, which was the result of Zhu Da's advocacy of Neo-Confucianism. The connotation of artistic conception includes four points: one is philosophical, the other is bookish, the third is stylization, and the fourth is artistic expression. At the same time, it advocates individuality and originality in calligraphy creation. These are all reflected in calligraphy. If the worship of dharma in Sui, Tang and Five Dynasties was the embodiment of seeking "writing", then in Song Dynasty, calligraphy began to appear in front of the world with a new look of respecting meaning and expressing emotion.
In other words, besides being natural and diligent, calligraphers should also be knowledgeable, that is, bookish. Northern Song Sijia changed the face of the Tang Dynasty and directly inherited the tradition of calligraphy. ?
Both talented Cai Xiang and innovative Su Dongpo, Huang Tingjian, who admired the ancients, and Mi Fei, who dared to take risks in Little Three, tried their best to show their calligraphy style, and at the same time, they highlighted an unconventional posture, which made the spirit of learning and nurturing gloomy and sandy between pen and ink, giving people a new aesthetic mood.
In the Southern Song Dynasty, Wu Shuo, Lu You, Fan Chengda, Zhu, Wen Tianxiang and other calligraphers further extended, but the knowledge and pen and ink skills of the Southern Song Dynasty calligraphers were not comparable to those of the North. Calligraphers in Song Dynasty were represented by Su, Huang, Mi and Cai.
