1, longevity.
According to statistics, many calligraphers have lived a long life since ancient times. For example, Liu Gongquan is 87 years old, 84 years old, Yu Shinan is 80 years old, Yang Weizhen is 74 years old, 89 years old, Liang is 92 years old, Weng Tonghe is 85 years old and He is 74 years old (the average life expectancy of human beings in that era was 25-40 years old); The average life span of modern and contemporary famous calligraphers is over 90 years old, such as Qi Baishi, Huang, He Xiangning and Zhang, who are all over 90 years old, while, and so on are all over 100 years old.
The reason is actually very simple. You need to observe carefully when practicing calligraphy, so that you can calm down, cultivate your self-cultivation and temper your will for a long time. Therefore, practicing calligraphy is beneficial to our health, thus prolonging our life.
Practicing calligraphy can strengthen the body and make yourself less sick. This is another example. During the Republic of China, a calligrapher got cancer, so he took a pen, ink, paper and inkstone to an uninhabited island. A year later, his cancer really recovered.
If you practice calligraphy to a state of selflessness, you can be calm and truly calm, thus calming many psychological and physical diseases.
2. Let yourself have a hobby in your spare time.
Practicing calligraphy can expand our circle of friends and meet more like-minded friends, which is also very meaningful. Moreover, compared with many other hobbies, learning calligraphy does not require too many equipment and conditions. You can practice calligraphy by putting pen, ink and paper together.
I will create some material benefits for myself and improve my material life.
Practicing calligraphy effectively can not only cultivate the ability to create and write works, but also be absolutely helpful to career and life.
When many people talk about the benefits of learning calligraphy, they often avoid talking about improving material life. Personally, I don't think it's shameful to create material conditions on my own. One day you can really learn something, and the living conditions of individuals and families will be improved because of your own efforts and progress. This is a good thing for killing two birds with one stone.
