Calligraphy is not a profound art. The only criterion is to write good-looking words. Before the introduction of Chinese characters, there was no such thing as "calligraphy". At most, some people regarded it as important. In ancient imperial examinations, the answerers were valued. As for handwriting, when Huang Tingjian took the imperial examination, his handwriting was not very good, so he was disqualified from becoming a Jinshi. Later, he devoted himself to practicing calligraphy and made his handwriting look good, and finally passed high school again.
There is always only one rule when it comes to writing, which is to write well and be understandable. This is fine. That's what I think.
When I was doing homework when I was a child, my parents compared my handwriting with the ones in the textbook, pointed at my handwriting, and advised me to write neatly. In order to prevent her from saying that my handwriting was ugly again, I Just face the words in the textbook, write as they happen, and follow them.
It wasn’t until I was praised by my parents and teachers for my writing that I realized that good-looking writing can be considered an advantage, so I persist until now.
Writing is also a way to cultivate one's moral character. There is also the beauty of the words that appear on the paper, which gives me a sense of accomplishment. After all, I wrote them stroke by stroke.
Chinese characters have a long history of evolution. From the earliest hieroglyphics to modern simplified characters, Chinese characters are constantly changing, in line with the needs of historical and social development, so that more people can learn to use Chinese characters.
In the process of writing, I can realize the words I have learned, how they are engraved in my memory, and what their patterns are. Will pay special attention to their beauty.
Symmetry is my favorite. Of course there is a lot of beauty, but the beauty that I experience most deeply is the beauty of symmetry. Maybe I like to do simpler things. Symmetrical beauty is more common in life, and we have a lot of it on our bodies.
In the process of writing, dividing one horizontal line into one vertical line is a process of spatial structure. To coordinate and stabilize the strokes requires concentration and creativity. There may be some words that are often written and do not need to be written again. Create, but if you switch to running script and running cursive, there will be different stroke structures.
I just like to construct the strokes into a word according to my own ideas while writing. This is the purpose, this is the fun. I draw the stroke paths according to my own ideas, and then realize them one by one on paper. , I feel quite satisfied.
