What are the benefits of practicing hard pen calligraphy for primary school students?

As the saying goes, "a word is like a person." Writing a good hand will benefit you for life. Practicing calligraphy can not only cultivate children's rigorous and meticulous quality, but also cultivate sentiment and reflect a person's cultural accomplishment. How do parents guide and train their children to practice calligraphy? Let me share my personal views and opinions for your reference.

First, the benefits of practicing calligraphy

Learning calligraphy is actually a process of "observation-analysis-copying". Children need to carefully observe the shape of fonts, the writing method of strokes, analyze their writing rules, and then learn to copy. In this process, children's observation ability, analysis ability and imitation ability are all cultivated invisibly, which will play a vital role in their future work and life. At the same time, it also requires "hands, brains and eyes" to work together to accurately control the shape, posture and charm of each word, so that children's physical and mental health can be greatly developed.

1. Cultivate children's "concentration"

To practice calligraphy, you need to "sit down" and concentrate on observing the font and brushwork. Once children are quiet and concentrate on practicing calligraphy, their attention will be greatly improved.

2. Cultivate children to be "meticulous"

Calligraphy is actually a kind of "boutique". After observing, analyzing and copying day after day and year after year, in the process of accurately handling every stroke and word, the "meticulous" craftsman spirit has gradually formed.

3. Cultivate children's "aesthetics"

Calligraphy is an art, which needs to be judged from the perspective of "ugly beauty". The combination of brushwork, rhythm and structure, division and echo embodies the spirit, temperament and artistic conception of calligraphy. Pupils will never see such abstruse things when they are beginners. If they read more famous posts and works, they will gradually know the difference between good and bad, ugly and beautiful.

4. Cultivate children's "creativity"

When you copy the foundation of predecessors and have a solid basic skill of calligraphy, you can break through imitation and become a whole. This process is creativity, as everyone did in ancient calligraphy.

Second, how to cultivate and guide children to learn calligraphy

First, prepare calligraphy books of Tian Zige and Mi Zige for children, and prepare a pencil or gel pen. Don't use a pen, because the friction between the nib and the paper is so great that it is difficult for children to control it. It is recommended to practice with pencils and gel pens.

Secondly, if you want to practice hard pen calligraphy well, you must follow the organic combination of strokes, structure and composition. It is difficult for beginners to understand these rules. It is suggested that you must find a calligraphy teacher to study systematically, and don't practice it yourself in the early stage, because once something goes wrong, it is difficult to change it later.

Then, it is very important to choose a suitable hard-pen copybook for your child. First, practice from the aspects of basic strokes, radicals, frame structure, composition layout, etc., so that laying a good foundation in primary schools, practicing running script in middle schools and practicing running script in high schools must be done step by step. The recommended pen regular script copybook is Tian Yingzhang and the running script copybook is Wu Yusheng.

Finally, urge and encourage children to practice once a day. Remember not to have too much content, just 2-3 lines a day, less but better, with high quality. Let the children persevere and carry forward the spirit of dripping water wears away the stone. Parents should encourage their children's homework, no matter whether it is done well at first, to stimulate their interest and motivation. Once the child has developed the habit of practicing calligraphy, parents and friends can let go, just correct their homework and wait for the flowers to bloom.
