Why can't many children who have practiced calligraphy write well?
Writing/Zeng Runiu often hears many parents complain: "My children have been practicing calligraphy for more than half a year, and their homework and papers are still in a mess. Is it natural to write? " How much practice is useless? "In fact, it's not that practicing calligraphy is useless, but that many people practice calligraphy is useless. In this case, I can say for sure: "Your child must be practicing regular script!" "Because only regular script is the most useless style. If I say so, maybe your brick will be smashed by me. Wait a minute! I have a view that regular script is the most useless, because a regular script is difficult to practice, especially hard-pen regular script (regular script with brush is better). Regular script is difficult to practice because it is the most standardized font. If you write it differently from regular script, it will be ugly, but it is almost impossible to write it like regular script, especially hard-pen regular script is more difficult to practice than brush regular script, because the brush is soft and takes several months. And if you practice regular script, can you write it well? The answer is no, some people who have won gold medals in calligraphy usually write the same ugly words, because it takes a lot of energy and time to write regular script, and now children have a lot of homework. In this case, it is impossible for children to do homework and test papers in regular script. What's more, regular script is vertical in calligraphy, that is, it is best to write vertically from top to bottom, and it is stiff to write horizontally from left to right. Now we write regular script horizontally from left to right. There is also regular script to suppress people's own pursuit of perfection. This kind of repression is easy to cause children's resistance and resistance, and it is easy to go to the other extreme-ghost painting. The result is that people who have practiced writing can't write well, and those who haven't practiced writing can write well. The answer is: it is best for children to practice official script! Because the beauty pursued by official script is to give full play to the beauty of human nature, calligraphy is called clumsy beauty. In fact, teaching children official script is to fundamentally encourage children to create beauty in their own way, so children often get unexpected results when practicing official script. When my daughter Tingting was five years old, I taught her official script for two months. She won the gold medal in children's hard pen calligraphy in the national painting and calligraphy competition. Later, she left me and returned to her hometown in Sichuan. Although she never practiced calligraphy again, her calligraphy is still the best among children of her age. This is the advantage of practicing official script. Let me analyze Tingting's winning works and other winning works, and everyone will know Tingting's secret of winning the gold medal. This is a work created by a child in the fourth grade of primary school. He won the Excellence Award in Children's Group. Her word size is relatively neat and the shelf structure is relatively stable, which shows that her pen control ability is already very strong. But because she writes regular script, because the strokes and structures of many of her words are not in place, the words are neat but dull, the strokes are abrupt but the shelves are rough, so it is difficult for her to get high marks despite certain skills. This is a five-year official script written by Tingting. The whole work looks naive, lively, natural and very pleasing to the eye, so it can get high marks in all kinds of hard-pen calligraphy competitions. But a closer look at her works shows that her handwriting is big and small, small and small, and her strokes are long and short, high and high, low and low, which shows that her pen control ability is poor, which can also be regarded as the handwriting of a toddler. But she wrote official script. As a result, her disadvantage became an advantage, because the official script pays attention to individuality and her strokes are unfamiliar. Different sizes can show momentum, and uneven lengths can show personality. Because of personality, it can stand out from thousands of entries, and all these personality changes are due to the natural nature of children. In calligraphy, they are called "returning to the original", which means that the highest realm of calligraphy is ". This is a word with official script style written by a person who can't write this kind of word very well. It is not difficult to see that the characters in official script style look very smooth from left to right, like a rolling river. This is the best hard-pen regular script written by Lu Zhongnan. From this, we can easily see that although every word of Mr. Lu's regular script is well written, it looks very unsmooth from left to right, so no matter how well written, it will be awkward if written from left to right, because regular script is not suitable for writing from left to right.
