The purpose and significance of middle school students' calligraphy competition

Calligraphy is the most popular art among many Chinese arts. Its fans and practitioners are all over the world: young and old, and it also affects Japan, North Korea, Vietnam, Singapore and other countries. And those who have really studied systematically and received special education from schools, especially those who can get guidance from "experts" and "famous teachers", are even rarer. At present, calligraphy education begins with teachers and children, and setting up courses in universities, even setting up advanced master's and doctoral degrees, is undoubtedly of positive and far-reaching significance for further improving the art of calligraphy and people's ability to write Chinese characters.

First, it is conducive to inheriting and carrying forward the art of calligraphy and stimulating patriotic feelings.

Calligraphy art is the quintessence of China; It is a splendid cultural treasure formed after thousands of years of historical accumulation and the pursuit of ancient philosophers; It is a university question between man and heaven; Is the crystallization of the wisdom of the Chinese nation; It is the most distinctive cultural and artistic category in China.

China's calligraphy has a long history. For thousands of years, with the continuous inheritance and development, there are many calligraphers and countless books. Cliff stone carvings with books as their special content are all over the country, and there are countless famous mountains and rivers and scenic gardens. The largest and most concentrated are the forest of steles in Xi, Shaanxi and Qufu, Shandong. This is the unique cultural landscape of China. The calligraphy "Mo Bao" left by calligraphers, celebrities and literati in past dynasties has also been displayed in many museums or circulated among the people, forming a unique art treasure house in China. This is the pride of the Chinese nation. Many scholars, artists and educators in the past dynasties cherished this traditional art of the motherland, actively advocated and called for strengthening the study and education of calligraphy, hoping that more people would understand, inherit and carry forward the art of calligraphy, thus stimulating patriotic enthusiasm and enhancing national self-esteem awareness.

China's Chinese characters are one of the oldest and most progressive characters in the world history. The biggest difference between it and other pinyin characters is that it not only has the characteristics of "expressing sound", but also has the functions of "expressing meaning" and "expressing shape". These distinctive personalities and rich connotations of Chinese characters are unmatched by other languages in the world. Therefore, every Chinese son and daughter has the responsibility to care for their own Chinese characters. We should not only make good use of its "sound" and "meaning", but also strive to describe and shape its beautiful image. Make it stand out in the world art forest and stay young forever.

Second, it is beneficial to carry forward the fine tradition of calligraphy education and improve the teaching knowledge structure.

Calligraphy education in China started very early. However, in the old society, due to the restrictions of feudal forces and feudal ideas, the broad masses of the people had no right to contact, and only the children of emperors and princes could enjoy it. So calligraphers mostly come from officials or nobles. Moreover, the teaching in ancient China was mostly in the form of private schools and family schools, so the learning of calligraphy was mostly passed down from master to apprentice. There is such a record in the Book Post: "Cai Yong was passed on by Cui Yuan and Moon Hee, and Zhong's wife Moon Hee, Wang Xizhi's nephew, Yang Xin, and Xiao Ziyun.

At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Ling wrote to learn bird seal as one of the examination contents and the conditions for entering the official position. The Jin Dynasty formally established the Doctor of Books, and both the ruling and opposition parties advocated calligraphy. Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong, was better at calligraphy and attached importance to it. He not only regarded calligraphy as a condition for bureaucratic promotion, but also regarded calligraphy as a subject of six arts and took the lead in learning. He also founded the Hong Wen Pavilion, an institution of higher learning, and selected Ou Yangxun, Yu Shinan and other outstanding calligraphers to teach calligraphy, so as to cultivate senior professionals and carry forward the precious art of the motherland. So he brought all kinds of calligraphy, grass, seal, official seal and calligraphy. Japanese Buddhist master monk, as well as Orange, went to China to study calligraphy and worshipped Bill Han, becoming the "two strokes" of Japanese Heian Dynasty calligraphy. In the Tang Dynasty, the ethos of taking books as teaching, learning as the most important and books as the most important prevailed, and a large number of calligraphers represented by Europe, Yu, Yan and vitamins were formed. "According to Ma Zonghuo's Book Algae, there are as many as 245 people. A large number of folk calligraphers are not among them. " There have also been many calligraphy comments. The most famous ones are Shu Duan, Sun Shu Pu, Dou Lingchang's Shu Fu and Zhang Yanyuan's Fa Lu. (A Brief History of China's Calligraphy) The prosperity of calligraphy in the Tang Dynasty is unparalleled since ancient times. From the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, calligraphy has always occupied an important position. Although the teaching methods are different, they are all continued because of the emperor's preference and attention. There are more and more calligraphy talents, and calligraphy theory is becoming more and more abundant. Calligraphy education has become a fine tradition in China.

Now calligraphy education is more comprehensive and popular. There are many calligraphy courses in schools all over the country, and many colleges and universities have calligraphy majors; Literary federations at all levels have established calligraphers' associations in different geographical areas; The Chinese Education Society has established a calligraphy education professional committee; Many calligraphy publishing and correspondence training centers have been established, which have effectively guided and promoted the development of calligraphy teaching; Newspapers and periodicals specializing in calligraphy are all over the country, which greatly cooperate with calligraphy teaching.
