First, quick results.
Hard pen is better than soft pen. Hard pen only needs to practice 10 class, and the writing progress will not be too obvious after one year of soft pen practice. It is equivalent to saying that when you really write with a pen, you rarely write with a brush when copying articles or signing.
Second, it is easy to get started.
The writing skills of brush calligraphy are too complicated, the content is boring and the progress is slow. Hard pen calligraphy comes from brush calligraphy, which has a complete system, is simpler, simplifies a lot of things and is easier to master. For younger children, if they want to practice brush calligraphy, they can first lay a good foundation for hard pen calligraphy, which is equivalent to laying a good foundation for learning brush calligraphy.
Third, it is convenient to practice.
As far as writing conditions are concerned, it takes a lot of space to learn Chinese calligraphy, and the space requirement for writing Chinese calligraphy is much simpler. To write in brush, there must be ink stone. Young children have poor self-control ability, and often get ink spots all over their hands after practicing calligraphy, while hard pen calligraphy does not have these troubles. Practicing calligraphy every day, children's spare time is getting less and less with the diversification of learning knowledge and skills, and the effect of practicing calligraphy without an hour or two at a time is not very great. In contrast, it is much more convenient to practice hard pen calligraphy.
Fourth, it is faster to learn soft pen again.
When learning hard-pen calligraphy, I have basically mastered the shelf structure of words, the layout between words and the method of copying. When I entered the soft pen study, my ability to observe and even appreciate words was initially satisfied. Pen writing is good, learning brush writing will obviously get started quickly and make rapid progress.
Of course, the most important thing is to learn hard pen calligraphy first. With the help of parents and calligraphy teachers, children's writing is becoming more and more standardized and neat. When the teacher praised him, he became happy, and then he became better and better, and his academic performance also improved.
