" Found grandma's big white clouds, golden ink blocks, Xuancheng raw rice paper and Shaoxing inkstone. Grind the ink and write a book quickly. "How so ugly? How can grandma write so beautifully? "
"Well, no, there must be a secret! I quickly ran over and asked my grandmother, "Grandma, how do you write China's calligraphy? Can you tell me? "
"Of course, calligraphy refers to calligraphy written according to traditional statutes, rather than writing casually with a brush. It is the first stage of learning calligraphy. How to write China's calligraphy well is a very complicated and specific problem, which cannot be thoroughly explained in a thousand words. If you want to write China's calligraphy well, you must master the brushwork and calligraphy. The so-called brushwork mainly refers to how to shape ideal lines (stippling).
News. When the pen is pressed, the strokes are thick, and when it is lifted, it is thin. Just like when people walk, their feet keep alternating, and when they write, their pens keep pressing. Only in this way can lines with different thicknesses be produced.
Every time you write a stroke, there are three processes: input, writing and receiving. There is a method of "exposing the front" to make the pen tip sharp or square; There is a method of "hiding the front", in which the front enters the pen, the horizontal painting wants to be straight first, and the vertical painting wants to be down first, so that the front of the pen is hidden in the stroke, and the beginning of the stroke is basically round. Learn to "use the pen from the middle" when writing, so that the front tip often runs in the middle of the strokes. In order to make strokes more powerful, we should learn to use the pen unsmiling, leaving lines in the middle and lines in the middle to avoid glitz. There are "exposed front" (the pen is gradually lifted off the paper, drawing a sharp point, such as hanging the needle vertically, skimming, pressing and hooking) and "hidden front" (the pen tip is retracted into the painting, such as hanging vertically, and the pen tail is round).
Knot is also called knot structure or shelf structure. Mr. Qi Gong once pointed out that to write a brush, it is necessary to grasp the structure of the pen holder and practice the characteristics of strokes. Frame structure is more important than stroke features. Words with good spacing are not prominent in stroke characteristics and pleasing to the eye; Not the other way around. Therefore, it is very important to study and master the structural rules of words carefully. The so-called "beginner distribution, but seeking fairness".
We should start with regular script or official script first. After mastering all kinds of brushwork, you will have the foundation to learn other calligraphy styles. Persistence is the only way to practice Chinese characters well. If you don't stick to your post, you can't write it yourself Learning to write Chinese calligraphy requires perseverance, perseverance, arrogance and rashness, and it can't get cold all at once. The ancients all said: "As long as the kung fu is deep, the iron pestle is ground into a needle." As long as you stick to the law of learning, you will certainly learn something.
As for pen and paper, ordinary wolf hair and old newspaper are good materials for practicing calligraphy. Beginners suggest starting from practicing regular script and gradually improving from shallow to deep.
If you practice like this, you won't be able to practice. Do you understand? "
"I see, I see."
The next morning, I went to the bookstore and bought some copybooks of Liu Gongquan and Yan Zhenqing. After returning home, I wrote according to the method my grandmother told me, and it was not as ugly as the first day.
From then on, I persisted in practicing despite the cold and heat, and won a prize in the competition of our calligraphy school!
I'm afraid it's impossible for a willing heart to do it. I love calligraphy!
My grandmother is a person who is very good at calligraphy, especially writing brush calligraphy. Whenever she writes calligraphy, I will read it. Influenced by her at ordinary times, she became very interested in China's calligraphy.

The story of me and calligraphy
Nowadays, high technology is developed, and even our calligraphy practice benefits us. Today, a kind of water-writing cloth has been developed, which can spread autumn hair without water or ink. This kind of cloth also dried quickly, and soon the words on the cloth disappeared, so the author could write again, thus realizing the rational use of resources. I remember hearing the old man say that Huai Su, a famous calligrapher in ancient times, picked the banana leaves in front of the hall as paper because he couldn't afford to buy paper to practice calligraphy, and wrote repeatedly, thus achieving real environmental protection. Nowadays, the appearance of this kind of water-writing cloth has also changed people's lifestyle and set off a storm that belongs to fashion.
On that day, it occurred to me that I saw a street performance by the roadside, so I took out a dollar and asked for it 10 yuan. The seller of water-writing cloth is an old master. He asked me to write some words on his sample while collecting money to try the effect. I scribbled a few words rudely, and when I wrote it, I heard a compliment. They said, Ah, I didn't expect a little girl to write such good words at such a young age. She must have practiced before. This little girl is very small. I listened and my heart was filled with joy. Only when I write calligraphy can I have special confidence and praise from others. So, while writing casually, I responded to them: I don't practice calligraphy very much, but I practiced it in junior high school. I wrote this casually. You exaggerate me too much. While smiling at my vigorous and powerful calligraphy, they were full of praise: it is not easy for girls to write such good calligraphy in this society. Yes, modern civilization has turned young people's attention to high technology, and they have no time to take care of things with historical charm and cultural flavor. I said: I am born after 80, and writing is only my occasional pastime. They said: The paper you bought is worth 10 yuan. If it's not expensive, just buy two tubes. I think so, too. I don't know how to describe the sweetness in my heart. Since then, I have been immersed in the whirlpool of happiness. It turns out that some specialties are so happy, and it is so pleasant to be praised. Why don't I have more specialties, so that I can be appreciated by more people, so that I can be happier?
This reminds me of something in junior high school. At that time, I had nothing to be happy about except my excellent academic performance. The only thing I can do is to write China's calligraphy well. At that time, there were often some competitions, such as composition, calligraphy and painting. Everyone's enthusiastic participation inspired talented young people. But what I can play is the calligraphy and painting contest. I didn't take part in the competition at first, and a classmate urged me: Your handwriting is so good, why don't you write a pair for the competition? No one knows what I think in my heart: I can write some handsome words, but I have no other specialties, so I have nothing to write. In fact, I know that it is the deep inferiority that controls me, which makes me live in the aura of others' youth and see my own dark shadow. Later, the class teacher knew and asked me why I didn't write: you wrote and handed it in. You won the prize and won the honor for the class, killing two birds with one stone. Why not? I have always listened to him, and the head teacher, like a bosom friend, accompanied us through this period of youth. I remembered that when I was practicing calligraphy at home, I wrote a pair of words and put them in my notebook. This time, I can play with them. This is also a word I am proud of. Two traditional "dragons and tigers", plump, atmospheric and spiritual, full of aura in correctness and full of strength in paleness. The students giggled again and said that my handwriting was very atmospheric, not like a girl's handwriting at all. In everyone's eyes, I am almost like a boy. When I cut my hair short, I will be everyone's best friend. As expected, my word "Dragon and Tiger" won the first prize in the school calligraphy and painting contest and was embedded in the window. Looking at the transparent glass window, the word "Dragon and Tiger" hangs naughtily on two windows. Looking at all the vitality on campus, my heart is as beautiful as drinking honey. We seem to see the teacher constantly praising my words when he saw the award, and I seem to see the envy and jealousy of my classmates when they saw my words in the window. My heart is shaking, as if the whole youth is mine. Suddenly, my eyes lit up, followed by the arrival of dark clouds, which surrounded my unchangeable inferiority complex. It turned out that there were three horizontal lines in the upper right corner of the traditional Chinese characters of the dragon, and at this time I was writing two horizontal lines, which must have been left behind. At this time, the word "dragon and tiger" is like a person who lacks arms and legs and needs our care. But how can I repair him?
I began to feel uneasy, as if I heard the students laughing: I wrote a wrong word and wanted to show it off. I deserve it. No I have to make up for that cross. It will be fine. However, careful arrangements must be made before the change, and no one is allowed to see it. At this moment, every minute should be prepared. I looked at the crowd and everyone came from the window. In fact, I may be one of them. I can study hard when I look at other people's world like this. Finally, when no one was there, everyone was in class. I went to physical education class and my classmates were noisy in the classroom. I rushed to the window, pushed open the glass, and cleaned up everything that should be cleaned up, that is, added a malicious stroke in that corner. Thick, just like writing with a brush, don't think it's a fake, it's a fake. It is elegant and charming. After writing, I breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly closed the window glass as if nothing had happened and walked to the classroom. They are still making noise. I didn't know that I had done such a hypocritical thing in their eyes. But there's nothing I can do. In order not to show the hole to others, and to maintain my poor self-esteem and self-confidence when I was young, I had to act secretly, which went against my original intention. If you don't covet vanity, if you are prepared psychologically, maybe this will not happen. I either can't write a work or I can't write a good work. Of course, the effect is different. Countless times later, I went to the window and stared at the two words I wrote, as if I were peeking into my heart. The word "dragon" can also see the traces of fraud, but no one has found it. Once I walk and watch, they seem to be smiling at me and forgiving me. Yes, no one's youth can make mistakes, let alone what I did about fame when I was young. It's printed in my mind like this, and I won't read it until I tear it down. When I pass by again, looking at the blank window, I will think of my childish behavior. It is like a spray, forever blooming in my memory; It is like a flame, burning in my life forever; It is like a star, shining my years forever. Until now, when I write down my beloved calligraphy again, I can't help but think of that change, which will be buried in my heart forever and become an indelible secret in one's youth.
In fact, I fell in love with calligraphy, thanks to my grandfather. Grandpa is an intellectual in the village. He is self-taught and writes well. Sometimes when he is free, he will take out a pen, ink, paper and inkstone to practice calligraphy. I would watch it when I was young. Later, he taught me to write. Hold my hand first and teach me one by one. Slowly, he asked me to write by myself, and how many words I wrote every day. I am an obedient child. Under the influence of my grandfather, I also fell in love with this square calligraphy and practiced hard every day, even by myself. It's just that I was poor at that time and there was no extra money at home to buy me ink. Later, I read in a book that washing rusty iron with boiling water can produce ink sweat, so I adopted this method. Put the rusty nails into the eight-treasure porridge bottle, then fill it with boiling water and leave it for a day or two. I don't know if my method is wrong or some places are not in place. The ink I made is not very black, but very light and sticky. Although I don't like this color, I still practice writing happily. The paper is waste paper that my brother and I used to study. I don't know how other teenagers get through me. I only know that my teenager got through practicing calligraphy with homemade ink and diarrhea with waste paper. Neighbors will come and admire me for a while when they see me practicing calligraphy, and then they will be full of praise. That kind of mood will be the happiest memory.
It was only later that I gave up this hobby because I grew up and my studies were heavy. I only practice calligraphy occasionally in my spare time, and my skills have not improved much. At that time, it was still at that level, but it was enough to be praised. Grandpa often writes letters, because weddings and funerals often happen around the village. Grandpa is a reluctant person. In order to save ink, he often adds water to ink, which is light in color but durable. Unexpectedly, this kind of light ink will still appear in front of me until grandpa's death. Seeing it, I seem to see my grandfather, the scene where he added water to the ink bottle, and the chic when he clenched his pen. Spring Festival, the first Spring Festival without my grandfather, my family asked me to write Spring Festival couplets, which was written by my grandfather before. Now that grandpa is gone, I will go to war if I know a little pen and ink. Although my handwriting is not as vigorous as grandpa's, I can stick it on the wall. I took out the red paper left by my grandfather, accumulated a good sum, and began to write. It's me. When I spread out red paper to write couplets, I found that a big bottle of ink was not good at all. Very light, even lighter than the ink made with nails when I was a child. I don't believe it, just stir the ink with a pen and the result is still the same. I see. Grandpa must have mixed water in it, but he mixed too much. He thought maybe he could practice calligraphy in his spare time instead of writing and singing for three days. But never. Grandpa died of stomach cancer for three days last year. As long as the nose is sour, tears will slip out of the box, but during the Spring Festival, we must not let sadness pollute the celebration. Looking up at the statue of grandpa on the throne, I smiled as usual and was amiable. I couldn't help running to the kitchen to pour water and wash my face.
Grandpa is gone, but the calligraphy skills he taught me are still there. I think I will keep practicing, although in this high-speed and fast-paced city, as the grandfather who sells my writing cloth said, there are not many people who keep practicing calligraphy now, especially girls, and I will keep practicing, even if I spare a little time every day, even if there is no progress at all. I will. This is the best for me and grandpa.
My compulsory course after work every day is to take out that writing cloth and write for a while. Grandpa at this time, is he smiling at me in the corner of the hill?
Reflections on Calligraphy Learning
Parents of Wei in Class Five and Six, Dongguan Primary School
Chinese characters are not only expressive but also elegant. This calligraphy art created with lines is a unique cultural treasure of our Chinese nation. People often compare Chinese characters to "people's clothes" and "stepping stones". In today's increasingly fierce competition, being able to write beautiful Chinese characters, whether in study, work or life, will leave a good impression and enhance self-confidence.
2 1 century, there was an upsurge of learning Chinese all over the world. As China people, they should not only learn their own language well, but also write Chinese characters correctly and beautifully. In order to enable children to write good handwriting in the future, parents have made great efforts to sign up for calligraphy classes and copy copybooks ... But the facts around us tell us that most children have practiced calligraphy, and fewer and fewer really write beautifully.
From ancient times to the present, the method of writing good calligraphy is the same: hard practice. However, at present, children do not have enough time to practice calligraphy after heavy homework. Perhaps it was a coincidence that I accidentally reported the third special class of Millennium Star Calligraphy Education in Dongguan Primary School to my children. One day, when I was watching my child practice calligraphy, I found that she framed every word with geometric figures. I asked her what she was doing. She told me that this was taught by the teacher in calligraphy class, and there are several interesting practice methods. The teacher never criticizes students, and always corrects bad words for each student patiently by hand ... I lowered my head and practiced excitedly ... Although I didn't go to the audition in person at first, from the children's eyes and. Unsurprisingly, after studying for less than a semester, I was delighted to find that my child's handwriting became vigorous and Fiona Fang, which was nothing like the handwriting of a fifth-grade pupil ... The first essay for "I and Century Star Calligraphy Education" in Dongguan Primary School, the child won the first prize, and the joy was beyond words. In the minds of parents, this is undoubtedly a full affirmation of the calligraphy education of Century Star, and it is also a good opportunity for children in the future.
It has been two semesters since the children attended the Century Star calligraphy education training class. On the basis of the rapid development of hard pen calligraphy, the teacher suggested starting to learn soft pen calligraphy. I think, with a certain knowledge of hard-pen calligraphy and the careful guidance of the teacher, the children will definitely start with the simplest strokes and continue to follow the teacher into the profound calligraphy hall to appreciate the infinite charm brought by calligraphy art. ...
Thanks to the guidance and training of "Century Star Calligraphy Education" for children, I hope more and more people will pay attention to children's calligraphy education and more and more students will join in calligraphy learning. I hope that calligraphy will play a greater role in children's learning and growth!
