Why are fewer and fewer people practicing calligraphy now? What are the advantages of practicing calligraphy?

There is a joke on the internet that it is not the white elephant that beats Master Kong's instant noodles, but the takeaway. It was not Kodak that defeated Nikon, but the mobile phone. We are always defeated by unexpected things, such as the keyboard actually defeating writing.

We often think of Yu Hongyan in those slow times. Li Qingzhao said, "Who sent the brocade book in the clouds? When the geese return, the moon is full of the West Building. " Qin Guan said, "I am trapped in a dangerous building, and I am worried about every word." . We will write and miss you, and it will jump on the paper. "See the words like a face."

In the internet age, no one is waiting for a letter at the door. A simple email will be received immediately. A phone call, a video, even if you are separated from Wan Li, you can hear his voice and see his person. At work, we also advocate working without words. If there is any problem, just mention an OA on the computer and follow the process. With the daily busyness and the popularity of computers, there are fewer and fewer opportunities to write and fewer and fewer people practice calligraphy.

However, the history of writing has a long history, and "words are like people" is still a stick in our memory.

Let's talk about three benefits of practicing calligraphy first.

First, practicing calligraphy can improve our concentration.

When we practice calligraphy, we need extreme attention and concentration, so it is impossible to multitask. When practicing calligraphy, you need to calm down and concentrate on every word and stroke. In the long-term practice, unconsciously, it will help to improve our concentration.

Second, practicing calligraphy can improve our endurance.

One minute on stage, ten years off stage. Although this sentence says that if you want to be a blockbuster in performance, you need to practice day after day. In fact, the same is true of practicing calligraphy. For example, when we were young, we heard the story of Wang Xianzhi practicing calligraphy.

Wang Xianzhi, the seventh son of Wang Xizhi, a great calligrapher in Jin Dynasty, studied calligraphy with his father since childhood. After practicing for a while, he felt that his writing was very good. One day, he wrote a big word to show his father. Wang Xizhi looked at it and shook his head. He raised his pen and nodded below. Wang Xianzhi showed it to his mother, and her mother said it was like that.

Therefore, under the guidance of his father, Wang Xianzhi practiced 65,438+08 jars of water in the yard, and only then did he achieve something and become a great calligrapher of a generation of famous artists.

Thirdly, practicing calligraphy can improve our observation.

In the process of practicing calligraphy, in the initial stage, we are copying, and how to make it look like is what we need to do. We should carefully copy every stroke on the copybook, every position where we start and put pen to paper, and every method of starting and collecting pen, and we should not be careless at all, until every word is firmly printed in our minds for a long time, it can be transformed into our own things. In this process, it also helps to improve our observation.
