In today's society, competition is becoming more and more fierce. For children, writing a good hand, whether in study, work or life, will leave a good impression on children and enhance self-confidence. Mr. Yang, a calligraphy teacher, told us that practicing calligraphy from an early age has many advantages. A well-written, standardized and neat answer sheet can often win the favor and praise of teachers, and a beautiful hand will have a far-reaching impact on people's life. Learning calligraphy plays a very important role in children's intellectual growth and the cultivation of learning quality.
Many parents are eager for success when they enroll their children in calligraphy classes, hoping that their children will write beautiful handwriting as soon as possible. In this regard, in the process of teaching children's calligraphy, Teacher Yang also summed up some experiences:
I want to give some advice to the parents of some young beginners in calligraphy. In fact, being young is an advantage. As long as you can hold a pen, the younger the child, the better. However, parents should pay attention to the fact that when children write, they should not remind them as soon as there are mistakes, because children's mistakes are inevitable. If parents always remind them frequently, they will make their children rebellious, but it will be counterproductive. After asking similar questions several times, you can remind them appropriately.
In order to answer parents' questions, here are some benefits of learning calligraphy for children:
1. Meditation and nourishing qi are good for health.
In the process of learning calligraphy, children mainly practice, especially training the movements of fingers, wrists and arms to achieve coordination and flexibility. These movements are directed by the brain, and regular training is beneficial to the growth and development of the brain. Primary school students are in the golden age of brain development, and practicing calligraphy in this period is very necessary to promote children's brain development, develop intelligence and cultivate IQ.
Secondly, when practicing calligraphy, the fingers, wrists, elbows, shoulders and arms of the human body move rhythmically with the writing of strokes, and various organs are also exercised accordingly. Although you can't see how much exercise is from the outside, it's actually like gossip, Tai Chi and Xingyiquan, combining rigidity with softness. This is what people often call "slow qigong". When writing, you can regulate the meridians, breathe smoothly, and finally reach the correspondence between the heart and the hand, so that you can be healthy.
Thirdly, practicing calligraphy can eliminate children's impetuous emotions and calm them down. There is also a saying that practicing calligraphy is also a good way to treat ADHD in children.
2. Cultivate good moral sentiments.
Calligraphy is the quintessence of the Chinese nation. There is a long history of development from the initial formation of characters to the improvement of calligraphy art. In this long river of language and characters, there have been many great calligraphers of different dynasties and generations with different styles and excellent personalities and knowledge. Whether they are diligent and eager to learn, or their principles of being a man, they are all examples for us to learn.
For example, Wang Xizhi's calligraphy is full of ink, the academic courage of the Sui monk is like a grave, Tang Huaisu's book is paperless with banana leaves, and Yan Zhenqing's official integrity, preferring to die rather than surrender ... These stories, which have been passed down through the ages, are very attractive for cultivating children's morality and perseverance. Therefore, children learn to be human in the process of learning calligraphy.
3. Enrich knowledge and cultivate good study habits.
Learning calligraphy well must be based on rich knowledge. Yang Shoujing, a calligrapher in the Qing Dynasty, believed that in addition to high quality, "a person should learn to be rich, and the spirit of books is naturally beneficial to lines." Learning from reading is more important, which is the second gain of improving children's cultural quality-making children love learning.
Calligraphy has strict writing rules. Children can learn calligraphy while learning literacy, which can not only consolidate what they have learned, but also promote the improvement of writing level and make writing more beautiful and standardized. Imagine that when a teacher gets an assignment and a test paper, beautiful writing can make the teacher look very happy, but the messy homework can't even be seen clearly, so the poorly written test paper is bound to lose a lot of points, especially reading and composition.
4. Cultivate temperament and exercise will
Learning calligraphy can temper people's will quality. Some children just started to learn calligraphy, forgetful, impetuous and inattentive. After practicing calligraphy for a while, they couldn't sit still. After a period of calligraphy practice, they gradually calmed down. All these questions have disappeared, so you can write calmly.
5. Improve the aesthetic quality.
Calligraphy is an elegant art, which combines the principles of ancient and modern sages. Children learning calligraphy can purify their minds and improve their aesthetic quality. While people appreciate calligraphy, they are infected by the beauty of calligraphy, whether it is dignified, generous, elegant or elegant, it is the infiltration of feelings, the infection of personality, the change of mood, the improvement of hobbies and the gradual improvement of aesthetic level.
