It is better to start practicing writing from the age of six, because children of this age are studying in the upper class. After entering kindergarten, children will learn to draw. After more than two years of pen-holding practice, the child's control will improve. The pen ability has been improved, and now the difficulty of practicing writing will be reduced.
The time to practice writing is often more than half an hour. Children under the age of six are not suitable to sit still for a long time, nor should they hold a pen to write for a long time, otherwise it will cause damage to the child's spine and finger bones. It has a negative impact on the development of children, so it is best for parents to let their children start practicing writing after the age of six.
From the age of six, parents should focus on guiding their children to carry out effective connection training. Only in this way can they help their children transition smoothly to primary school life. Practicing writing is a very good practice project, because in the process of practicing writing, children will continue to become familiar with the stroke order and structure of each word, which not only helps children master the correct way of writing each word, but also effectively expands their literacy.
It lays a solid foundation for learning Chinese, and also helps children speed up their writing and improve the quality of their writing. After entering elementary school, children will not worry about homework problems and can achieve better results. academic performance.
Methods for practicing calligraphy
1. Stimulate motivation and cultivate willpower
According to psychological theory, motivation is what inspires people to act or inhibits this action. Desires and intentions are the internal reasons that drive human behavior. Motivation and needs are closely related, and the basis of motivation is various human needs. Human needs include physiological needs and social needs. Practicing writing is a social need of people.
Primary and middle school students practice writing to improve their writing skills and master scientific and cultural knowledge; adults practice writing to convey information and improve work efficiency; from an artistic perspective, practicing calligraphy is people’s pursuit of beauty needs.
People’s need to practice writing is not self-generated, but is gradually formed through practical experience and the guidance of educators, from which emotions and strong interests are generated. In this way, we can better stimulate the motivation to practice calligraphy. Otherwise, if you have no intention of practicing calligraphy and just deal with it reluctantly, your writing power will be slippery, the structure will be loose, and your progress will not be fast; this will in turn affect your interest in writing.
Will is especially important for people who practice writing. After people realize the importance of writing and develop the desire to practice calligraphy, they must make plans, choose practice methods, and practice step by step according to the requirements of calligraphy practice.
This kind of psychological activity of consciously determining goals, controlling and regulating one's actions, and overcoming difficulties to achieve expected goals is the process of tempering one's will. It is not easy to develop good calligraphy. As the saying goes, "It takes a hundred days to master calligraphy."
2. Practice calligraphy step by step and with rules
Step by step is a universal principle for people to learn scientific and cultural knowledge. This principle requires learning in accordance with the logical system of the subject and the order of development of human cognitive abilities, so as to gradually and systematically master basic knowledge and basic skills.
This principle is determined by the strict logical system of subject knowledge itself. It is also an objective requirement for people's understanding and ability to develop from shallow to deep, from easy to difficult, and to have an "order" to follow.
The structure of Chinese characters uses strokes as the smallest unit. The strokes form single characters. The strokes and single characters evolve into radicals, and then the radicals form combined characters. This is a logic from simple to complex. system. When practicing writing, you should follow this systematic sequence and practice step by step. However, the emphasis is on step-by-step, not the only sequence.
Because the relationships between the strokes, radicals, and structural elements of Chinese characters are interrelated and influence each other.
For example, the strokes and the structure of the characters, in order, you should practice the strokes first and then the structure, because the strokes are the basis of the structure. However, when practicing strokes, it is not enough to practice strokes alone. You must also practice them in combination with the structure of characters, because the same strokes have different forms of expression in the structures of different characters. Only by combining strokes with the structure of specific characters can you practice. Only then can you gradually write qualified strokes.
3. Combine copying and master the rules
The experience of learning calligraphy and calligraphy in ancient and modern times proves that copying copybooks is the only way and an effective method. Copying is to place the copybook under a relatively transparent calligraphy paper, and use a pen to trace the words revealed on the copybook one by one. It is required that the handwriting of the described words should not go beyond the stroke track of the words on the copybook.
If you are copying from a brush copybook, the strokes you describe should follow the center line of the strokes on the copybook; if you are copying from a pen copybook, the strokes you describe should completely coincide with the strokes of the words on the copybook. In this way, over time, you can learn the stroke path and glyph structure of the words on the copybook.
To write a copybook, place the copybook next to the calligraphy paper and draw a "gourd" according to the words on the calligraphy note. The strokes are required to be written in a similar manner and pay attention to the changes in weight, rhythm and thickness. In this way, over time, you can learn the meaning of the words on the copybook. Since copying a book is more difficult than copying it, you should copy it first and then copy it. Since copying and copying are two complementary methods of learning books and practicing calligraphy, copying and copying should be combined and done step by step.
