The printed homework written by the child is not the best of modern regular script. It is just a printed version of regular script. In other words, what he writes is just a font and cannot be counted as calligraphy. We can go Looking at the prints written by children, you will find that there is only one form without its own spirit, while calligraphy pays attention to both form and spirit, and is penetrating into the wood.
1. Print has only form but no spirit.
Many of the regular scripts we see in our daily life are Chinese regular scripts, which are printed fonts. This font first appeared in the Song Dynasty. It was made to facilitate people's reading, and what we see on our computers The same is true for the Chinese regular script. Originally, the copybook of Mr. Ren Zheng, a Chinese calligrapher, was used. When converting the content of the copybook to computer content, Mr. Ren Zheng modified some of the characters to make the font easier to read. The size is the same, but in this change, the shape of the font is made up but the spirit is not there, and this change is necessary otherwise it will increase the difficulty of computer recognition. Children use this typeface as a template to write Of course, the characters have only form but no spirit. They all look the same without much difference. When you first read it, you will find it pleasing to the eye, but when you look carefully, you will feel that it lacks vitality and has no own characteristics.? Those who learn from me will live, those who like me will die!? This is what Mr. Qi Baishi, a generation of art masters, said to his disciple Xu Linlu. This sentence also applies to calligraphy. If the calligraphy written looks like the calligraphy written by others, is it calligraphy?
During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, there were two famous calligraphers? Liu Shi'an and Weng Fanggang. Weng Fanggang imitated the ancients very seriously, making sure that every stroke and every painting resembled someone from the previous generation. Liu Shi'an is just the opposite. He not only practices calligraphy hard, but also requires every stroke and every painting to be different from the ancients and pay attention to nature. Later, the two became in-laws. When Liu Shi'an's son was practicing calligraphy, his father-in-law Weng Fanggang saw it and scolded him for not having any rules. Liu Shi'an's son practiced according to his father-in-law's request. After Liu Shi'an saw it and asked why, Ask his son to ask him which of the words written by his father-in-law is his own? The son understood it after hearing it and never wrote in front of his father-in-law again.
2. Calligraphy works should be both practical and spiritual.
When we appreciate calligraphy works one after another, we can clearly see the pause and scratching process of the author's writing. We can also find that there are obvious brush hairs and flying whites in the works. Traces such as these reflect the priorities and trends of the pen, and through the structure and momentum of the fonts, the author's mood and thoughts, whether happy or sad, are displayed. Even after thousands of years, we can still understand the author's mood at that time.
Of course, it cannot be said that printed fonts are useless. Printed fonts are helpful for children to master the structure of fonts and understand the trend of each character during the learning stage. This makes it easier to master the glyphs when learning calligraphy, which is beneficial to children. Lay a solid foundation for calligraphy learning.
