I like calligraphy because it was fun at first. I think the writing brush is like a toy for drawing, which is both soft and hard and picturesque. As a result, after "painting" several times, it was praised by many teachers and classmates. A little vanity is the greatest satisfaction. Calligraphy, as a cultural treasure handed down in China for thousands of years, also has the unique value of maintaining love and inheriting virtue. From then on, calligraphy or masculine, or feminine and beautiful, all kinds of charm began to really make me yearn for and infatuate. Learning books has naturally become a great pleasure for me besides studying.
Every time I pick up a brush, I look like a magician. Look at me. I started to learn Chinese characters. Like Master Artest Tai Chi, I followed the steps, breathed by luck, stretched my muscles and adjusted my mind. I studied Cao Quanbei, an official script, and his handwriting is mainly plain. Before I write a word, I'm like a martial arts player practicing "ma bu", observing first, then practicing. First, carefully observe the structure, characteristics, rigidity and softness of the whole word, taking the word "filial piety" as an example. Filial piety, as its name implies, is filial piety. So the second horizontal line of the word "filial piety" is like a long arm extending to both sides. A dutiful son should extend his long arm to protect his parents, shoulder the heavy responsibility of supporting his elders, and be filial. This is a responsibility! When I told my teacher my understanding of the word "filial piety", the teacher smiled and applauded me again and again, praising me for learning Chinese well! I was in full bloom at once. Then, I squat with extraordinary endurance-write good strokes and build a good structure. Then pay attention to the "poem" repeatedly emphasized by the teacher. Simple happiness and satisfaction filled my heart. And the teacher's praise and encouragement of "yes, keep cheering" made me happier! Say, are you happy to learn Chinese characters? I am happy anyway!
In addition to the usual practice, every year before the Spring Festival, I practice my handwriting the most vigorously. Several of our friends, big and small, are busy at several tables. Haha, that was when we were busy writing Spring Festival couplets! After writing, we each hung red festive works on the wall and commented on each other. Let's talk quickly and comment quickly. Whoever wrote which word has skill and which word is a failure knows everything. No matter how we comment, each of our faces is equally filled with the joy of contentment, because these are all prosperous works created by ourselves. The most exciting thing is when the Spring Festival couplets are posted on New Year's Eve. When my mother sticks my Spring Festival couplets on the door, I will jump for joy. And many relatives and neighbors are also very awesome. They will post my Spring Festival couplets and send MMS renderings to thank them. It's not good to say it, let alone secretly "steal" the beauty in my heart.
Calligraphy is a traditional cultural treasure of the Chinese nation and is still full of vitality today. Exquisite calligraphy is rich in connotation, extensive and profound, with natural spirit, delicate fragrance and condensed wisdom. People can get aesthetic enjoyment, philosophical enlightenment and spiritual beautification through appreciation.
Yang Xiong in the Han Dynasty said that "books are paintings of the heart". Indeed, every calligraphy masterpiece is a clever application of the author's techniques, a display of great talents, a surge of great wisdom and a display of Gao Huai. In short, it is the imprint of the author's mental operation.
Practicing calligraphy can enrich people's mind, improve people's overall accomplishment, cultivate lofty spirit, accumulate profound talents, acquire the spirituality of heaven and earth, absorb the essence of everything, and create a world where things and I are one.
