After a child reaches six years of age, his body's skeletal development has gradually improved, his arm muscles and finger joints have been basically fully developed, and his wrists also have a certain amount of strength and hands-on ability. Therefore, this period is when the child officially The golden period to start practicing calligraphy.
Teacher Pang Zhonghua once said: "Hard-pen calligraphy is a child's skill. Children should practice hard-pen calligraphy first, and then practice other things." This is the experience summed up by hard-pen calligraphers. Good handwriting is like a person's face, which will benefit him for a lifetime. Therefore, calligraphy education should start from childhood, the earlier the better, the benefits will be endless. Since calligraphy practice is so important, why not start now?
No matter how hard it is, the children cannot suffer, and no matter how poor the education is, the education cannot be poor. Reading and writing are both important. Wang Xizhi, the great calligrapher we are most familiar with, taught his son Wang Xianzhi to practice calligraphy from an early age. It is said that Wang Xianzhi learned calligraphy from his father at the age of seven and studied very hard. He asked his father for tips on how to practice calligraphy well. Wang Xizhi pointed to the eighteen water tanks in the yard and said: "After you practice these eighteen water tanks, you will know how to practice calligraphy well."
Calligraphy is important to a certain extent. It also pays attention to children's skills. The earlier you learn it, the better. It can cultivate children's interest in learning calligraphy.
