Women in feudal times were far from reading and writing. Even in modern times, the number of female calligraphers is still a bit red in the same field. Calligraphy circles focus on the masculinity of You Shou's calligraphy, but it is easy to ignore the characteristics of her female writing.
Individual's cultural literacy grows with gender roles, and women's unique psychological characteristics and physiological functions will have an impact on their cultural literacy, and special symbols will be engraved in artistic creation ~ ~
You Shou (1906- 1994) is a native of Xiapu County, Fujian Province. Famous educator, archaeologist, ancient philologist, historian, poet and calligrapher. He is an important successor of Li Ruiqing and Hu Xiaoshi of epigraphy school, and one of the representative figures of China scholar calligrapher. Being in Jiangnan with Xiaoxian is called "traveling all over the country".
Fujian has been Haikou since ancient times and has long been exposed to foreign customs. My childhood was not bound by feudalism (although my father was a juren and a sinologist). ) I entered primary school at the age of six, and I didn't wear my ears, let alone tie my feet. As a child urchin, he can't sit and write quietly. At the age of eight, he climbed from the tree to the roof and looked at the whole city. Of course, he is not popular with primary school teachers.
My father is a cultural and educational leader in five counties, so although he is an urchin, he is still infected by his family. My father can draw and is good at five kinds of calligraphy: seal script, official script, original script, cursive script and calligraphy. When I'm tired of playing, I go home to watch my father draw and write official script, and never write a book with a pen. I can write a short essay with my ears, and I can arrange the structure of the full text by thinking quickly. Therefore, my father took advantage of his strengths and blamed his shortcomings.
In middle school, I am a female teacher in Fuzhou Province. Because there were several famous people in Fuzhou in the late Qing Dynasty, all of them were better than true letters. I studied normal schools, especially formal letters. In the girls' dormitory, I learn the ancient Chinese prose with ink back early in the morning, and then write inch models and have breakfast in class (of course, some people braid their hair and paint clothes, but I'm not good at this).
Because I can't write in lowercase letters well, I am taken care of by my Chinese teacher. (1980 When I returned to Fuzhou, my old classmates told me that Teacher Deng had always cared about me. He is the father of Comrade Deng Tuo. After liberation, he went to Beijing and lived to be over 90 years old. He is a famous juren and has a strong ability to accept new cultures. So I went home the first summer vacation and learned the orthography of Yan Pingyuan (Yan Zhenqing) from my father. In less than two years, I caught up with others, and sometimes I grabbed a knife for the classmates next door.
When I entered the university, I was very interested in the newly published bronze age documents because I had little knowledge of ancient Chinese characters. I took more courses in Oracle Bone Inscriptions and Phonology, and I kept an eye on Hu Xiaoshi's pen. This is the process of learning books. Because I can't write well since I was a child, my handwriting is rough and not technical, but I have never been contaminated with vulgar and bad posts, and my handwriting is the right way. Fingers are hard, palms are straight, wrists are flat, and Chinese characters are hung on elbows, which can be said to be authentic.
All learning should proceed from the right and seek the "best method". I once studied Yan Shu, and later I studied Da Zhuan and Han Li, with emphasis on Han Tuo, and participated in Cang Xie Temple and Liu Sha Liu. Running script used to write Yellow Valley, but later it felt wild, and later it studied Zhong You's watch. Although it is not the original, it is not the Tang and Song Dynasties. Regular script (a real book, a modern official with a different name, is actually a book) contributes a little to Zhang Menglong and Zhang Heinv (Natalie). Because of my popularity, I decided to learn from the Northern Wei Dynasty to change my familiarity.
In addition, I have a preface of Oracle Bone Inscriptions, probably in the third year of college. At that time, a copy of Preface 300 yuan was beyond the average student's means, so I had to hook it up. It was borrowed by Xiao Shi, who was stolen in Nanjing when Japanese warlords invaded. I have also participated in two libraries with rich books and sorted out old inscriptions, but they are just passing by.
From my own writing experience, I hate that I was unwilling to lay a foundation when I was young. When I was seventeen, I learned a little. Because of the inspiration of the Chinese teacher in middle school, I was quite complacent and said to my father, "You were willing to listen to Chinese when you were a child, and that's not all!" But a year later, my father died! So after entering the university, I tried to make up for my mistakes.
So in recent years, when I was teaching writing, I started teaching him from the age of five or six. He quickly grabbed the pen and taught him to read excellent calligraphy, so that they could understand excellent words. Because children are simple, writing will be on the right track. If he hasn't really learned it, it will be more difficult for him to get rid of the old bad habits. Without preconceived ideas, he will become a "business word", far behind the pavilion!
Writing is not just handwriting. Some people point to drawing or write with both hands at the same time. This is something that no one can do. But we should pay attention to the cultivation of art and knowledge. This is the difference between "buying and selling words" and "bookish". The predecessors said: "Returning a pen to the grave is like reading thousands of books." This shows that writing comes from behind learning.
Even a worker and farmer, he has his own professional and simple power to hold out calligraphy. It was not that the Taoist priest waved a stroke spell, but that he was careless and shook his head and was complacent. There is another common fault that I have had, that is, if the handwriting is not good, I will scribble cursive, kick left and right, pretend to be scary, or show off and scribble in the "pen flying ink dance". These are all commandments learned from books.
I am not a writer. Many times, I take the postgraduate entrance examination for writing. The word book was written by myself. In addition, I have mild lung disease and neurasthenia in middle age. The doctor told me to raise fish and see flowers, but my family was poor and self-reliant, so I went to write quietly. If it succeeds, it will be enough to mention it to my comrades.
"Book" means "writing". Writing must give each other and the public a sense of beauty, so "word" has always been expressive. I think "Fa" is constantly formed and perfected through proficiency. The seniors taught you orally, practiced by themselves, and became familiar with it, and the proficiency was improved. If you only teach orally, you can't improve without practice and understanding, so "calligraphy is improved through practice."
Words are tools for people to communicate. As a communication tool, as long as it can be understood. Calligraphy, as an art, embodies cultural sentiment and needs to pay attention to artistic accomplishment. Du Fu has a poem that says "reading can break thousands of volumes, and writing is like a god", and the same is true for calligraphy. Look at the handwriting and rubbings of calligraphers of all ages, and see Zhong Ding and rubbings extensively, so as to increase your internal strength. Ancestors once said, "How can a pen be like reading thousands of books?"
This shows that "writing" is not only writing, but also strengthening cultural learning. I often see some scholars or politicians. They don't often write, but they are extraordinary and impressive. There are also some "ink writers" who have been writing all their lives, but they are just right, but they are like "dying on paper". In the old society, Mr. Accountant wrote all day, but he didn't see many calligraphers. Their words are called "business words".
Since calligraphy has laws, there must be a teacher's biography. But clever calligraphy teachers never teach students to learn Chinese by themselves. Because there are many famous calligraphers who can learn from China for thousands of years. Why must students be forced to live under their own small barriers?
Scholars should pay equal attention to their hands and eyes. I have never seen any famous handwriting or any good tablet in my life. I only see some "commercial words" and even call myself "the hand that can write", which is very pitiful. To become a master of calligraphy, you must teach him to write from an early age, and you must show him some excellent calligraphy books (famous handprints and inscriptions) to make him have high charm and vision.
As a scholar of pre-Qin literature, I have been exposed to epigraphy materials, sorted out a considerable number of epigraphy rubbings collected in the two places, and read famous calligraphy techniques. My teachers are Hu Xiaoshi, Wu Quan and Wang Bijiang. I have read their works carefully. Of course, what inspired me most was the majestic spirit in Mr. Hu's book. When I entered middle school, I watched my old father write me a birthday preface. The old Confucian classics were full of alcohol, which laid a solid foundation for me. So when I was in college, although I didn't write well, an old Confucian scholar (Wang Boqin, Zhou Fagao's father-in-law) called me a famous mechanic. Now at the end of my life, many of these past events that I am ashamed of have come to ask each other questions, which is really unparalleled.
For young people who can write, according to the predecessors' saying, "How can you read thousands of books when you pay back the grave?" Writing should have charm. Simple charm, beautiful and interesting. When you are vulgar and familiar, there is no cure. I don't like publishing and writing, so I don't know the tricks of writing. People often ask me tips, and I don't know how to answer them. Because some people don't learn, they look for tips everywhere, and they are all empty in the end.
