This is the simplest and most common replication method. In short, it is to put the template (copybook) in front of you, practice against it, and gradually understand the structure and writing of the words in the post through careful observation, so as to copy the standardized words. At first, children can write word by word. Copy it several times. When you are familiar with it, you can read a few words or lines and then copy it. This is what we often say. Wait until you have a familiar memory and understanding of every word and line of the template (copybook). Children can write the whole post with their own impressions, which is the back. Copy copybooks to the point of memorizing them. Practical method is widely used by everyone who learns to write because it can fully combine children's eyes, hands and brain and has outstanding effects.
This method can be used without paper and pen. For example, children are playing outside and on their way to cram school. In this case, parents can guide their children to "copy" or "create" the words they have practiced with their fingers in the air or on tables and chairs, and practice imagination. In this unique writing practice, children can often deepen the feeling of writing and the slow understanding and grasp of writing.
This is an interesting and effective copying method. Teacher Xiong suggested that parents guide their children to do it before the actual template (copybook). Let the children fix a piece of paper and a pen in their minds first, and then copy down the standardized words they have learned one by one. Although this process is fleeting, it is of great significance. Of course, not only before copying, but if children can effectively use the "mental method" in their spare time, the effect of each practical method will multiply.
To sum up, when copying a template (copybook), children should first learn to observe the standard words and deepen their understanding of the structure and writing of the words, so as to "practice" or "show" the standard words in their minds before starting to write. In the long run, if children can "intentionally" imitate, they will make rapid progress.
This is a general method to copy the artistic conception of practice template (copybook). Many calligraphy instructors recommend it. When copying a template (copybook), parents don't need to ask their children to draw gourds in every word and picture, but should pursue the vividness and naturalness of the overall charm. This is a creative copying method, not suitable for beginners. If the child has a strong interest in writing and has the idea of continuing to improve, it is recommended.
The definition of this replication method is vague, which can be said to be an application of replication results. Children choose the words on the copybook for "transplant creation", which can be sentences, idioms and small compositions, and combine copying and creation into one. This way of copying can effectively eliminate the stereotype that children think copying is boring and improve their interest and perception of copying.
Teacher Xiao Xiong thinks that children should fully mobilize their eyes, hands and brains when practicing calligraphy, compared with the calligraphy practice of adults. Through the above five copying methods, children can not only master the correct method of practicing calligraphy, but also develop their brains, improve their imagination, perception and emotional ability, improve their learning ability in all directions, and help them learn other subjects more easily.
