Friends, what are your hobbies? Running on a vibrant basketball court? Or indulge in the sound of dancing and flying music? Or maybe I am obsessed with exciting online games... My hobby is calligraphy. There should be many friends who like calligraphy, which is an art originated from the ancient Chinese civilization. Do you want to know how I fell in love with calligraphy? Now let me tell you how I became associated with calligraphy.
That was 4 years ago, when I was only 6 years old. My mother wanted to explore my interests and hobbies, hoping that I could learn a specialty. One day, my mother and I were walking on the street and saw a gray-haired old man writing on the ground with a small mop and a small bucket. The words he wrote were like flowing clouds and flowing water, written in one go. I watched from the side. While applauding, I felt that the writing was so good, and I couldn't help but have a strong desire to practice calligraphy. After I got home, I told my mother about this idea. My mother was very supportive and soon took me to sign up for a calligraphy class.
When I first started practicing calligraphy, I felt that my hands were always shaking, the brush just refused to obey my command, and the words I wrote were as crooked as tadpoles. A few days later, my mood plummeted. Just when I wanted to give up, my mother told me about the gray-haired grandfather's calligraphy practice. I think: He can write such good calligraphy. In addition to loving it from the bottom of his heart, the most important thing is that he can overcome difficult circumstances and practice calligraphy unremittingly every day. So I picked myself up again and practiced calligraphy with great concentration. As time passed, my handwriting became better and better day by day. I was slowly praised by the instructor and sometimes used as a model for other students to learn from. I thought to myself, it would be great when I can practice calligraphy in public, so that the words I write can be appreciated by many people like that old grandfather.
Finally, an opportunity came to show off your talent. On the eve of the Spring Festival this year, the instructor took only one of my children to participate in the county calligraphy association's activity of sending Spring Festival couplets to the countryside. I felt really happy and honored at that time. This day coincides with the market day in the countryside, and the villagers are busy coming to the farmers' market to collect new year's goods. Of course, every household also buys a few Spring Festival couplets that symbolize good luck and prosperity. As soon as we arrived at the market, we set up a temporary stage in the bustling crowd and wrote Spring Festival couplets on the spot. I poured the ink, ground it carefully, dipped the ink into the brush, and started writing slowly. Soon, I forgot about the busy scene around me and concentrated on it, writing one stroke at a time, as if I had entered a world without people. After a while, a Spring Festival couplet was written, and some villagers gathered around to pick it up and admire it. At that time, several people asked for my work, collected it and took it home. I feel very happy because I can, like that old man, show my calligraphy skills in front of many people, bringing them happiness and at the same time giving me the motivation to continue practicing.
In a blink of an eye, I am now 10 years old, and my love for calligraphy has become even deeper. When I am sad, sitting down and practicing calligraphy is the best solace for my soul; when I am excited, sitting down and practicing calligraphy will calm my mood; when I am angry, sitting down and practicing calligraphy will gradually calm me down; when I am happy, I will sit down and practice calligraphy. , sitting down to practice calligraphy brings me endless thoughts.
