We are now in a new era of computers and mobile phones. Fewer and fewer people write Chinese characters by hand. Many people think that handwriting Chinese characters is not that important. However, some parents believe that learning calligraphy can temper their children's good learning qualities, cultivate their creative spirit, and promote their physical and mental health, which is something that will benefit students throughout their lives.
"Several Opinions on Strengthening Writing Teaching in Primary and Secondary Schools" also emphasized that at present, while attaching importance to students mastering computer Chinese character input technology, we must continue to emphasize that primary and secondary school students can write Chinese characters well and inherit and carry forward the Chinese culture. The excellent national culture and writing teaching should be strengthened and not weakened.
So, how should primary and secondary school students write Chinese characters well? Yunqing Calligraphy believes that we can start from the following four aspects:
1. Stimulate the interest of primary and secondary school students in writing
Einstein once said, "Love is the best teacher." Learning to write is very boring at first, so students need to be constantly praised to give students a pleasant emotional experience. This will effectively mobilize the enthusiasm for learning, enhance the courage to overcome difficulties, increase interest in writing, and enhance Confidence in learning calligraphy.
After students become interested, they can continue to practice. The more they practice, the more interested they will be. The greater the interest, the more diligent they will practice, forming a virtuous cycle, and the calligraphy will be perfected.
2. Master the correct pen-holding posture
If you want to write well, you must first hold the pen well. The correct way to hold a pen is the prerequisite for good handwriting. If you haven't mastered the correct way to hold a pen since you were a child, then no matter how much practice you do later, it will be useless.
Therefore, in the initial stage of students’ enrollment, it is very, very important to learn the lesson of correct pen-holding. Only when they master the correct sitting posture and pen-holding method can they lay the foundation for future Chinese character writing. Good foundation.
3. Understand the structure of Chinese characters
Chinese characters are composed of strokes. If you want to practice calligraphy well, you must understand the structure of Chinese characters, practice the strokes smoothly, horizontally and vertically, bend and stretch, and make the strokes vivid, just like human life.
Only by understanding the structure of Chinese characters and practicing the strokes can we draw inferences from one example and write all the characters well. But the problem faced by many primary and secondary school students now is that the calligraphy courses in school only copy and describe, and then start writing in large quantities, which has no effect at all. So, how should this problem be solved?
In fact, you might as well look at high-quality calligraphy training institutions outside school, such as Yunqing Calligraphy. Its unique rapid learning method of character roots does not require the traditional copying method to write in large quantities, but directly uses mathematical splitting of characters. Gen, using stroke order as a reference, solves the most difficult basic basic skills problem of calligraphy.
In fact, in the final analysis, we still need to get rid of the traditional calligraphy practice methods, re-deconstruct and simplify the complex ones so that we can practice and write well faster and more efficiently. Therefore, in this case, high-quality off-campus calligraphy training institutions are the best choice for primary and secondary school students.
4. Practice frequently
Practicing writing cannot be done half-heartedly like "three days of fishing and two days of drying the net." You must practice consistently so that you can write Chinese characters well. Otherwise, no matter how much you do in the past, it will be just in vain.
In fact, having said so much, it does not mean that primary and secondary school students should write like calligraphers. The most important thing is to write Chinese characters well, stroke by stroke, beautifully and generously. It serves future study, work and life, and at the same time inherits the excellent culture of the Chinese nation.
