At what age is it appropriate to start practicing calligraphy? Calligraphy has many benefits for children. In the process of learning calligraphy, children mainly do it by hand. These movements are directed by the brain, and regular training is beneficial to the growth and development of the brain. The following is an understanding of how old to start practicing calligraphy.
At what age did you start practicing calligraphy? 1 It is better for children to start learning calligraphy at the age of 5-7.
1, physiological angle
The initial operation of calligraphy is mainly the small muscle groups of the hand at work. Children's hand muscles are basically developed by the age of 6, and they can perform flexible and subtle movements, which provides a material basis for children to hold pens. Learning calligraphy at this stage can further promote and improve the development of hand muscles. In other words, not only master the skills of calligraphy, but also help children's physical development better.
2. Psychological perspective
Children's activities in infancy are mainly unconscious. From the intermediate stage, they can complete the instructions according to the requirements of adults. From the age of 5-6, they have been able to control their behavior initially, and their psychological activities have begun to develop consciously. Adults use praise to guide at this stage, which is conducive to the development of children's independent consciousness, that is, the cultivation of interest.
Learning calligraphy needs to pay attention to the following questions:
1, don't force children to learn.
Remember! Remember! In the early stage of children's self-awareness, coercion may play a temporary role, but in the later stage, children will become more and more disgusted, and it will not be worth the candle! If you plan to let your children learn, parents can buy pens, ink, paper and inkstone first and practice at home by themselves. When children see it, they will think it is fun to compete with you for a brush. You can accompany him to doodle and cultivate interest. At this time, if you ask him if he wants to learn, he will definitely answer "yes". Ask him a few more times, and you can make a happy decision!
2. Don't learn regular script.
Although when it comes to calligraphy, many parents' first choice is handsome regular script, but this is not suitable for children to learn: not to mention the action of regular script, children will be tired after writing for a long time!
We can start with seal script or official script. First, it's easy to write like it. Second, these two scripts, especially seal script, have pictographic elements. It's more convenient to communicate with children from this angle, unlike other calligraphy teaching: the teacher talks for a long time, but the children don't understand! If you still like regular script, wait for the children to feel it, or choose Yan Zhenqing's Diligence Monument and Yan Jia Temple Monument, or some Wei Bei.
3. Write Chinese characters with a brush
When children begin to learn, it is best to start with a brush instead of a hard pen: because the hand muscles are used unevenly, it is difficult for children to master strength, which is not conducive to their physical development. Learning to brush has no such disadvantages, and it is rich in pen and ink, which is also of great benefit to the cultivation of children's aesthetic taste!
And don't be afraid to waste paper when writing big characters: because children are young and have poor control, it is not easy for children to master fonts in a cramped space, which is not conducive to the development of children's outgoing and cheerful personality, so a grid of 7- 10 cm is enough.
4. Don't overtraining.
At the beginning, don't arrange too much training for children to write well, just keep interested and the road will be long in the future! Don't you think ~
From a scientific point of view, it is appropriate for children to learn calligraphy at the age of 5-7. What about the ancients? Wei Ming School's "The Remains of Zhuang Qu's Testament" said, "Any father and brother who has an untitled son aged six or seven to twenty should be sent to the society for study."
The age of admission in the Qing Dynasty was eight, and the ancients lived in vain. Now that the living standard has improved, children are enlightened earlier than the ancients. It is reasonable to start learning calligraphy at the age of 5-7! Of course, this is a starting age. If the child is over this age, it is not too late to start again!
At what age did you start practicing calligraphy? 2 Preschool children are not suitable for learning calligraphy, but kindergartens have courses to teach children to read. Many parents teach their children to read words, but also let them write out the words they know. They think that only knowing and not writing is not a real opportunity, and it is easy to forget when they know it. Only by doing the "four skills" at the same time (that is, writing, reading, understanding and using) can you really know and remember the words you know. Therefore, when they teach their children to read, they teach them to write as soon as they finish reading, and even ask them to write while recognizing, just like asking primary school students to ask their children to synchronize the "four meetings." In fact, this is very wrong and has a very bad influence.
Writing is a very delicate job and a difficult action for children. In addition to the strength of hand muscles, it also needs the participation of a large number of voice motion analyzers and the cooperation of finger and arm kinesthetics. At this time, children also need patience and endurance to sit for a long time. The child's nervous system is not fully developed, and it is difficult to control his hands to complete fine movements such as holding and carrying pens. The small muscles in their hands develop slowly, and there are not many energy reserves in their bodies, which are not only poor in flexibility, but also easy to fatigue. In addition, sedentary is also overloaded with children's physical and psychological endurance. Therefore, it is not appropriate for children to sit there and write one by one. Just like putting a heavy burden on them, it will make them feel overwhelmed, which will not only cause serious damage to their physical and mental health, but also make them feel afraid and tired of learning, which is very unfavorable for their future study.
Besides, children can't write, calculate or express their feelings in words. Writing is of little significance. Simply copying, not writing for need, is purely physical labor, which is not only heavy but also boring. Therefore, no child likes to write in real life. If you force him to write, he will get bored after a long time. He may not only be unwilling to write, but even refuse to listen, which will be a big loss. On the other hand, it is not cost-effective to ask children to write. Because children write slowly, it takes a lot of time. If these precious hours are not used for writing, if they are used for reading or learning other things, the gains will be much greater.
In the critical period of children's intellectual development (0 ~ 7 years old), there are many things that are more meaningful, necessary and urgent than writing, and it is not worth the loss to spend precious time on copying. If you want to consolidate your literacy achievements, it is good to recognize them several times. Why did you write them? In the future, children will have the requirements of writing and the ability to write, so they will not feel difficult or bored. It is true that writing can also promote the development of small muscles and peripheral nerves in children's hands. However, it is better to let children do manual work, bricklaying or painting, which can not only achieve the same exercise purpose, but also be much more interesting than simply copying.
Children's writing needs and reading and writing needs do not happen at the same time, and children's reading and writing skills do not develop simultaneously.
Next semester, the kindergarten class can be slightly exposed to the writing of basic strokes of Chinese characters. Desks in kindergartens are generally short, and children are prone to lie on desks, which has a negative impact on cultivating correct writing posture. It is best to learn to write in the first grade of primary school.
At what age did you start practicing calligraphy? 3. Learn calligraphy to improve children in an all-round way.
Calligraphy is one of the four traditional talents in China. Practicing calligraphy can cultivate self-cultivation and cultivate sentiment, which has a very important influence on the development of children's emotional intelligence. However, the benefits of learning calligraphy are not only these, but also many benefits, which are of great significance to children's future development.
1, improve personal accomplishment and cultural quality
Learning calligraphy can improve students' aesthetic ability and comprehensive cultural and artistic accomplishment, and form their specialties and hobbies in calligraphy; Writing is the basic skill of primary school students, which is better than ordinary students. It is easy to gain the favor of teachers and the prestige of the class collective, so that children can increase their self-confidence. Good calligraphy education for children from an early age can not only improve their calligraphy literacy and artistic accomplishment, but also be of great significance to cultivate their rigorous and down-to-earth learning attitude and conscious and diligent learning ability. At the same time, it also plays a subtle role in a person's cultural accomplishment, moral sentiment and personality formation.
2. Promote the healthy development of physiology and psychology.
Calligraphy teaching activities can stimulate children's thirst for knowledge. Observing and analyzing copybooks, thinking and understanding the writing process, and evaluating and reflecting on calligraphy practice will help children improve their thinking ability in an all-round way. Writing with brush can promote the healthy development of children's physiology and psychology, and writing with brush can be regarded as an operation process. In this operation process, it is necessary to continuously conduct nerves and transmit the feeling of hand operation to the brain in time, and the thinking activity of the brain constantly issues instructions to correct and improve the operation process. Children gradually learn logical and positive thinking in operation activities, so Chinese brush strokes can promote the healthy development of children's physiology and psychology.
3. Cultivate children's endurance and self-confidence.
Many parents think that children are particularly naughty and can't calm down, which is not conducive to the study of culture classes. Learning calligraphy can improve students' concentration, because learning calligraphy requires the whole-hearted input of brain, eyes and hands, so that students can form the habit of paying attention to their studies.
4, improve people's comprehensive ability
Let's assume that there are two people who have the same education and experience and do the same job. But one of them has practiced calligraphy, and the other has never practiced calligraphy. Probably, the former thinks and handles things in a higher angle, method, vision and realm than the latter. He can look at and handle things with an artistic eye, and he is likely to achieve greater success. We found that among the primary and middle school students who study calligraphy around us, the excellent students at school often write well.
5. Develop intelligence and cultivate coordination ability.
Calligraphy practice is a vivid and dynamic system, which always requires full attention and writes every word well. It needs the brain to command the coordination of hands and eyes, as well as the different movements of hands and their coordination with the whole body and limbs. Therefore, we can develop the skills of the left and right hemispheres of the brain at the same time and improve the coordination ability. Numerous examples have proved that children who have studied calligraphy are obviously superior to ordinary children in understanding, acceptance, imagination and creative thinking.
