First, the art of calligraphy and personality shaping
"Books are handed down by people", and the styles of calligraphers' works are high or low, which are ultimately the natural expression of calligraphers' personal feelings and personality. In Song Dynasty, Huang Tingjian said: "Learning books must have virtue in mind, and the knowledge of sages should be widely used. Books are valuable. " Known as "the second running script in the world", Yan Zhenqing's "Sacrifice to the Nephew" describes Yan Zhenqing's mourning for his nephew Yan Jiming who died in the Anshi Rebellion. From the ups and downs of lines and words, we can feel Yan Zhenqing's grief and indignation when he learned that his nephew was killed by the rebels. Similarly, the emperor asked Liu Gongquan, a famous calligrapher of the dynasty, how to learn calligraphy. Liu Gongquan replied: "The heart is right and the pen is right", which left us with the eternal reputation of "pen admonition". By studying calligraphy, constantly studying ancient inscriptions and appreciating the style of the ancients, it will inevitably play a subtle educational role in shaping personal personality.
Second, calligraphy art and ability training
Calligraphy learning is conducive to the cultivation of students' various abilities. First of all, students' careful observation is the first exercise to learn through calligraphy inscriptions. The ancients said: "Those who observe are still refined, but those who plan are expensive." By observing the stippling structure, writing method and characteristics of each word, let students imitate their hands and pursue them. After a long period of training, their ability to observe things will be helped and improved.
The second is the cultivation of imagination. The ancients said: "The charm originated from nature." Many strokes in calligraphy are described from our life and natural phenomena. For example, when we describe the high quality of lines, we often use the metaphor of "leakage marks (rain lines dripping from the eaves of farmers' houses when it rains)". Zhang Xu, a master of cursive script in Tang Dynasty, learned the theory of brushwork from Gong Sundaniang's sword dance, which is also a model of calligraphy art and imagination cultivation.
Third, cultivate students' dialectical thinking ability. Copying ancient calligraphy, there are many dialectical and unified ideas running through it, such as the back of the font, the pressure in the strokes, the shade of the pen and ink, the speed of the strokes, the advance and retreat of the strokes, and the Fiona Fang of the strokes, all of which constitute the phenomenon of contradictory unity in calligraphy learning. In a sense, the law of calligraphy art and even artistic creation is the process of seeking unity in contradiction by using dialectics.
In addition, learning calligraphy plays an irreplaceable role in cultivating a person's concentration and endurance. As the saying goes, "the fragrance of plum blossoms comes from bitter cold". Nowadays, our children are keen on watching Korean dramas, American blockbusters and listening to pop songs. I think that if we can guide our children to devote enough study and attention to China's traditional arts, I think all kinds of unhealthy phenomena that happen to teenagers, such as internet addiction and terrorist violence, may be contained to some extent.
Third, the relationship between calligraphy art and multi-discipline
China's calligraphy art is extensive and profound. In-depth study of calligraphy plays an irreplaceable role in our study of other disciplines.
