Q: What does calligraphy education cultivate?
A: Cultivate students' correct writing posture and develop good writing habits.
China's calligraphy has a long history, with more than 3,000 years of written records. In fact, after archaeological discoveries in the new period, it is said that the ancient civilization of China can be traced back to 5,000 or even 7,000 years ago. Calligraphy developed from Oracle Bone Inscriptions and Jinwen to Dazhuan, Xiaozhuan and Li Shu, then to Cao Zhang, cursive script, regular script and running script, and finally to the Eastern Han and Wei Dynasties. Calligraphy has always exuded artistic fragrance and infinite charm. Many great calligraphers appeared in different dynasties and generations, and they left many valuable original works and materials, which are called the quintessence of China culture. This is the precious wealth left by China's splendid civilization. They enable the Chinese civilization formed by the Chinese nation for thousands of years to be passed down and carried forward. It can be said that a complete history of calligraphy is almost a complete history of social development. It vividly records the development of China in various historical periods since ancient times in the form of words, and provides a reliable basis for modern people to study and inspect history. I wrote these two paragraphs in "On Books" just to show that it is not easy to master calligraphy: elegance and vulgarity are the key to appreciate calligraphy. A close look at the whole book is popular, and the forms are mostly abnormal in appearance, distorted in words, bizarre, sloppy in brushwork, messy in stippling, deviating from statutes and bohemian. Because it is quick and easy to get results, I am eager. There are quite a lot of followers, and a little look at its shape shows a similar trend. If you hide your name, so do you. For this book, the emphasis is on investment, individuality and exquisiteness. If you want to save time and effort, don't. Books are literary, elegant and quiet. Ancient books are quiet and charming. And those who are crazy are vulgar. Only by rooting out the root causes can we * * step into the field of Qing calligraphy.
In fact, students used to write big characters every day; In the past, many teachers' blackboard writing was simply a copybook for students. Maybe they can catch up, practice hard and finally become teachers;
Learning needs a quiet heart: "learn to write stroke by stroke and learn to be a man in word and deed." Teachers, learning to be teachers, should set an example, study hard, practice hard, write beautifully, and cultivate "meticulous" serious students.
Writing is not just to master a tool, but to cultivate a quiet and careful attitude. However, the wish is beautiful, but the result is hard to say. Because there must be many principals who think that good handwriting is not directly related to the enrollment rate. "It's not good to get up early." If it is not good, we can't do it. "Comrades, you hurriedly think countermeasures, how to fool the past. According to past experience ... "The first to third grades of primary school focus on cultivating hard pen writing ability. First, you should be proficient in writing block letters with hard pen, so as to be standardized, correct and tidy; With the increase of grade, it is gradually required that the lines should be neat and beautiful, learn to write standard and popular running scripts, and improve the writing speed. In the third grade, I began to learn both hard and soft. Students should write regular script with a brush and copy famous calligraphy; Understand the history of calligraphy and the origin of Chinese characters; Appreciate the works of important calligraphers from the aspects of connotation, composition, structure and brushwork, cultivate the initial ability of calligraphy appreciation and improve aesthetic taste.
Learning calligraphy can cultivate people's quality. What is calligraphy? Calligraphy calligraphy, there are laws in the book. If there is Buddhism in the book, it is called calligraphy. If you can't do it in books, it's called writing. Calligraphy comes from writing, but it is higher than writing. I make a horizontal line, which is called artistic horizontal line. The method of writing and expression on it is called calligraphy, which belongs to the artistic category. The method of writing and expression under this line is called writing, which does not belong to the artistic category. Calligraphy and writing are absolutely inseparable. Chinese characters are the carrier of China's calligraphy, and the premise must be writing. We should have four things: knowability, literariness, individuality and artistry. It will take a long time, even decades, to reach this level. Just write the words well, which is a very general requirement, and it is a requirement for primary and secondary school students. The above four points are the requirements for people engaged in calligraphy. In addition, I will also talk about some precautions when using a pen:
First, pay attention to the choice of writing tools.
Second, pay attention to the posture and method of writing.
Third, when practicing calligraphy, pay attention to calmness, start well and finish well, and don't be impetuous and perfunctory.
Fourth, be careful not to change fonts easily. To practice calligraphy, you should have perseverance and perseverance, and you should practice solid basic skills.
Fifth, pay attention to the combination of learning and application, practice and writing.
"Calligraphy is not only a pure art, it is also writing, which is something that each of us comes into contact with every day. All kinds of information are spread through words. China people really began to write with a pen, and even typed with a computer. It took decades, which is still a short moment compared with the history of writing with a brush. "
"If we stop writing, we will really enter an era of paperless and informatization." "This is not just a question of writing Chinese characters, because words are the mother of China culture." Sun Xiaoyun thinks this is not a small problem. The younger generation should write Chinese characters well and be good people in China. China people should write Chinese characters well, which is the face of a culture and the expression of self-esteem.
How to learn calligraphy? What kind of road to take? I have always advocated taking the road of inheritance and development. Develop on the basis of inheritance and inherit on the premise of development. Regardless of inheritance or development, the key lies in a "pro". How to "kiss"? Eight words are indispensable: interest, diligence, understanding and path.
If you want to achieve something in calligraphy, you must work hard and persevere. Because good writing is not only good structure, good brushwork, but also good charm, so we should write the words vividly. This is an artistic enjoyment. Huai Su can clearly see where there is a screen. Although it is covered with dust, there is still thick ink on it. Strange rocks rush to the autumn stream, and Han Teng Gu Hangge. Close to the water tower, you get the moon first, and every word is good.
At present, there are many only children in China, and some only children have poor self-care ability and are relatively withdrawn. Practicing calligraphy is a good way to adjust psychological quality and standardize behavior, which can make students enter a relatively static state. Now some students are not timid, but are not serious and careless. While practicing calligraphy, we must devote ourselves wholeheartedly, be calm, correct posture, persevere, and over time, we can develop a good habit of being rigorous and serious. At the same time, students' lack of tenacity and endurance can also be obtained through writing exercises one by one, so as to correct the shortcomings of sloppy and careless work, and thus develop good habits of perseverance, dedication, patience and meticulousness, and fear of difficulties. Facts have proved that students who receive calligraphy education can gain strong coordination and self-control ability, laying a good foundation for learning other disciplines and cultivating other skills. Clean up the original source and create a new source. In the process of promoting the cause of calligraphy, it is probably the only correct way to take the road of inheritance and development. We should vigorously advocate inheritance and development, and repeatedly and clearly emphasize that we should develop on the basis of inheritance and inherit on the premise of development. How to operate inheritance and development, we must remember four words: "pro, stand, change and create". "Pro" and "establishment" are big stages, as are "change" and "creation". "Pro" refers to learning from ancient inscriptions and seeking the image of form and spirit; "Li" takes the charm of the fan tablet for his own use and lays the foundation for calligraphy; "Change" means seeing more, reading more and listening more, absorbing the strengths of each family, not sticking to the rules, and gradually presenting its own style; "Creation" means mastery through a comprehensive study, application of what you have learned, integration of learning and stippling, acquisition of character beyond pen and ink, creation of a new style, and establishment of a family. This is the truth that I have summed up in learning calligraphy, and it is also the law that many calligraphers have succeeded through the ages. Learn to copy other people's things, in order to write well and stand up. If you don't copy, or don't come seriously, you are actually writing your own free body, which is untenable. Some people have been writing for several years without making progress. In fact, they have never taken good things seriously or even copied them. When they pick up a pen, they are free. When they write with pens and pencils, when they pick up brushes, they still look the same. This is not calligraphy. Calligraphy is the method in the book, which is the most fundamental truth of calligraphy. We usually write, and 80% or 90% of people don't speak Buddhism, but only know Buddhism. Some people don't know Buddhism when they write. This liberated body is like a poisonous snake, wrapped around your hand. If you want to make your writing regular and beautiful, you must copy carefully according to the fine works left by the ancients and copy deeply to each post. In the process of writing, we should strengthen our ability of "understanding" and "remembering". Only in this way will the free body be gradually removed in the process of writing, and the written words will be seen and liked by people. This is only the first stage. It's still useless to look at other people's things. We want to enter the second stage, that is, we need to make changes, from reality to meaning, including posted things, our own things, and things that come in after reading posts, so that a new look may appear, that is, innovation, and a "style" will be formed after a long time of writing. In history, the real Cao Li seal script has been finalized, so we only need to make changes and innovations in writing style, even a small change with characteristics is an innovation. I don't agree with the kind of writing that deliberately takes madness and ugliness as innovative features. It's not a good phenomenon to shake hands at will and use your brain without exertion. This kind of atmosphere is an impact on young people and even some middle-aged and elderly people. This requires the correct guidance of calligraphy organizations and calligraphy teachers. First of all, they should follow their own path of inheritance and development, and guide the public and students to follow this path. While strengthening the teaching of cultural courses, we also strengthen the cultivation of civilized etiquette. Now adding some calligraphy training will certainly play a certain role in improving ideological and moral cultivation. Because learning calligraphy is not only about writing, but also about content, which needs to be selected, such as "knowing is knowing, not knowing is not knowing, but knowing", "Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you", "Worry about the world first, and enjoy it later", "Struggle", "Endeavour", "Inspirational" and "Philip Burkart". When students practice calligraphy, they will inevitably be influenced and infected by these contents, which will lead them to feel and associate with beauty and think about beauty and ugliness. This is impossible when typing on a computer. Poetry and calligraphy can cultivate people's mind and make people's spiritual world happy. On the other hand, this kind of spiritual pleasure can promote the development of their science majors, which complement each other and are not contradictory at all. Inheriting the art of calligraphy and learning calligraphy from dolls are conducive to improving the comprehensive quality of middle school students. Writing calligraphy well is also of great benefit to other disciplines. Middle school students have strong plasticity. I hope the whole society will care for and support middle school students to learn calligraphy, cultivate a steady stream of young calligraphy talents, and realize the sustainable development of calligraphy in China. Now China, under the leadership of China's * * * Production Party, has not only stood up, but also gradually prospered its economy and strengthened its national strength. We have entered a period of great cultural development and prosperity, and cultural revival has promoted historical progress. Calligraphy is not only the China culture that China people want to learn well, but also foreigners are following in our footsteps. Now there are more than 200 Confucius temples in the world. They build Confucius Institutes, learn Chinese, write Chinese characters, and some even learn Peking Opera. Mr. Lee Kuan Yew, former Prime Minister of Singapore, said: Singaporeans should not only learn English, but also learn Chinese and Chinese characters, which is their root. This "root" is our national studies.
However, I think it still needs to be changed. It is impossible to write about a family for a lifetime. It is necessary to learn from others, but the highest level of learning calligraphy is to write your own style. My understanding is: "the road to learning books is based on the heart." If the heart wants it, the hand will follow, and the hand will change. Why not hurry! " Now someone is learning calligraphy from me, and I warn them through my own experience to change and create. There are no shortcuts here, so remember eight words: first, interest, and the motivation to learn books; Second, diligence is the guarantee of this book; Third, understand the wings of this book; The four paths, the direction of this book, complement each other. Everyone in ancient and modern times, at home and abroad is no exception. I hope all of you can write elegant things, write with your heart and write your own characteristics. Grasp the relationship of "presence, establishment, change and creation". "Presence" should run through the whole process. After you realize this, you can talk to the post. There are some real things on it. Beginners should hold a post repeatedly, don't chop and change. Learning calligraphy is a time-consuming and laborious thing, and it is often thankless. It doesn't necessarily matter if you write for ten or eight years. Therefore, everyone must be able to withstand loneliness when learning calligraphy. If they really go deep and study hard, they will certainly gain something. It can be summed up in one sentence: "The only way to learn books is to be diligent in understanding. Diligence can make up for it, and enlightenment can make you live. This is also a wonderful way to learn books. " According to the notice published on the website of the Ministry of Education, China will carry out calligraphy education in primary and secondary schools through relevant courses and activities. Yes, the Ministry of Education has issued many beautiful appeals, all of which have been fooled: students should not spend more time in school, their homework burden must be less than a certain amount, they should not attend classes on weekends, they should advocate social practice activities, students' outing activities, middle school students' ballroom dancing during recess, and drama entering the classroom ... "I think that things that are not satisfactory after all are always satisfactory, so I am afraid so."
I hope this is an exception.
Practicing calligraphy is of great benefit, so is writing with pen. Learning needs a quiet heart: "learn to write stroke by stroke and learn to be a man in word and deed." When I was in primary school, the school often asked me to practice calligraphy and distribute materials. Good atmosphere is very important, and this policy is good. Bad calligraphy will be a lifelong pain. Primary and secondary schools reopen calligraphy classes, with both hands in favor! Calligraphy is one of the essences of China traditional culture, which can't be abandoned. China people should write Chinese characters well!
The laid-back environment leads students to "enter the heart" and "enter the quiet". After students have a certain writing ability, they often spend more than ten or eight minutes in class to let students practice writing. When students write, I will play light music to them and let them write with beautiful music. Because soothing music is easy to make impetuous hearts sink slowly, and it can also make people feel happy. In this elegant and leisurely situation, students' hearts will gradually become "quiet". In this process, students will not only enjoy the beauty of Chinese characters and the leisure of music, but also develop their own aesthetic taste.
Good comments can stimulate students' interest in writing. Any group and anything can arouse people's long-term passion only with good evaluation. The same is true of students' writing. If you let him write and practice every day, the students will get bored after a long time. At this time, it is necessary to use practical evaluation measures to activate students' writing desire and stimulate lasting enthusiasm, so as to cultivate students' heartfelt interest in writing. The class has set up an honorary column of "writing expert" and "writing star". The writing contestants organized by the class were awarded the title of "writing expert" or "writing star" and issued certificates. Students will tell their parents the good news at the first time, which also gives them motivation. I will display the best homework in the "Calligraphy World" on the wall every afternoon for everyone to try to learn, and the excellent homework will be posted in the corridor culture first. These are all incentives for students.
Learn a hundred, start a family. The only way to learn books is diligence and enlightenment.
