(Editor of Chengdu Business Daily) People are very sad now. Once they reach middle age, they are automatically considered "greasy", "sloppy" and "fierce" ... which makes many young people "stay at a respectful distance" and avoid it.
? But as middle-aged, everyone feels very wronged: why should we be "greasy", "sloppy" and "fierce"! We are young, poetic and humorous. Although we are old and young, and the burden of life is more than a thousand pounds, there are countless poems and distant places in our hearts.
? Indeed, in fact, many middle-aged people disdain to associate with mahjong, and disdain to make ends meet. They don't forget your active attitude, insist on their persistence through various means, resist the anxiety of life at the same time, cultivate one's morality and cultivate one's character, and live a non-greasy self.
? Stickers have become a panacea for my daily anxiety.
? Born in 1977, I used to pay great attention to "the dividing standard of middle age". However, after the age of 40, I also feel at ease to embrace everyone of my peers and sigh.
? Calligraphy, with a way of life that can be complex and simple, deep and shallow, long and short, and interesting in art, allows us to meditate and cultivate our hearts, and to be quiet and far-reaching in the year of no doubt.
? "punch in",
? I have persisted for a year and a half, rain or shine.
? As a generation of "old people in the top and young people in the bottom", whether it is a migrant worker in the workplace or a Jianghu entrepreneur, nine times out of ten they are not satisfied. In recent years, peers with increased anxiety abound.
? Last March, I obviously felt that I was dragging my tired body home, and my brain was too troubled to write a manuscript calmly. What is even more frightening is that the next day I resisted inexplicably, which made people sleepless at night.
? I began to try to regain my writing brush and meditate every day. After dinner, it took me half an hour to fill a four-foot-four-inch rice paper, which became a customized punching life. I obviously feel that before writing, the disturbance during the day makes people unable to concentrate on thinking about any problems. But when I mention the pen, I will be calm with every breath and stroke. Half an hour of meditation writing is like crossing, like a checkpoint. This barrier ensures that I can write without any interference and sleep all night.
? It has become a panacea for relieving anxiety that I take on time every day! From the earliest Yi Ying Monument, Yi Shan Monument, Yuan An Monument, Li Monument, and Zhang Qianbei to the later Preface to Saint Education and Shu Su Tie, I have experienced 20 kinds of inscriptions.
? What I admire most is my courage. I actually insist on sending photos of "punching in" to my circle of friends every day. I never stop on holidays or business trips, and occasionally make up for the lost time the next day. It's been a year and a half today, and it's absolutely "effective"!
? Put the ink in a test tube or shampoo bottle and travel without interruption.
? Practicing calligraphy, like many things that can give people a sense of pleasure, is very addictive. This takes into account the behavior of doping during the day and taking sleeping pills at night, even if you are on a business trip or traveling, you don't want to quit!
? So, I began to try to put the most simplified pen, ink, paper and inkstone suit into my business trip and travel bag. The inkstone is the heaviest, so it is replaced by a saucer like a spoon. As for the ink, you can put it in a plastic test tube of 10 ml, or you can put it in a shampoo bottle of 50 ml, seal it and put it in a bag of toiletries. There's no problem flying. In this way, every night on the narrow desk of the hotel, I can cross the quiet and pleasant world like at home.
? Every day I finish posting the day's post and write down the date and place in the next paragraph: "the top of Taihang Mountain" and "on the West Lake" ... there is always a different sense of satisfaction.
? Join a group and share the traditional meditation of middle-aged people.
? Looking around, there are many middle-aged calligraphers. The "Anren Old Brick" of Jianchuan Museum has written a post for three years. There are also friends in the circle of friends who punch in their homework every day. Have they found a panacea for middle-aged syndrome like me?
? I decisively pulled a group called "Write a few strokes a day". In this group, there are no technical tutors, only book friends who urge each other.
? The senior model worker in the group is a middle-aged "Mo Ding", a civil servant with more than ten years' attachment experience. The homework uploaded every day is related to the official seal. I asked him how much time he spent writing every day. He said, "After dinner, sit at the console table and start writing until your sister-in-law comes to grab the pen late at night."
? There is also a book friend who sends beautiful regular script in the group every morning, telling everyone to "punch in before going to bed". It turns out that this friend named "Ark" works in Africa, and he is an automation instrument engineer who is aided by PetroChina to build a Chad refinery. He said that Chad is a landlocked country and the oil refinery is surrounded by Gobi. Every day his camp and factory are 2: 00 and 1: 00, and his life is very monotonous. So he devoted a lot of his spare time to calligraphy and lived the most China life in the land far from his hometown.
? Gradually, we found that friends in the group are usually not only hobbies of calligraphy, but also common hobbies. Ji Feng is the editor of Digest Weekly. His hobbies are calligraphy and guqin. In addition to uploading a Wei Bei work full of charm every day, he often uploads an guqin performance to add a little "sound interest" to the silent calligraphy group. "Park Hanfei" is also a fan of Chinese painting, and his gentle "normal heart" is a master of Shaolin Wushu. He was invited to Europe to show China Wushu.
? Our group, in this group, silently share the traditional meditation of middle-aged people.

Friendly recommendation of excellent works in the same edition
? Although the years are cruel, fortunately I can still write.
? □ Ji Feng, male, 43 years old.
? When a person reaches a certain age, he is like a white fried ladle, which is not refreshing at all. But at this age, there are always some ways to have fun. Writing is these two years.
? In fact, I don't know if calligraphy can get me out of boredom, but I just like it. I have written it before. For a while, I had nothing to do, so I wrote a preface to the peach and plum garden and sent it to my friends, but it was boring to write it. It was not until I studied with my teacher two years ago that I found it difficult to write a good word. The teacher asked to write every day, but time was limited. In the first six months of actually going to school to write, posts were intermittent. Fortunately, I bought a lot of pens, ink, paper and inkstones from the beginning. A good horse should have a saddle. If you invest, you have to operate, otherwise you are sorry for the real money. Last Dragon Boat Festival, I didn't go anywhere, just at my home near the third floor in Zhao Mengfu. Suddenly, with the help of God, the beauty of calligraphy suddenly came out. Since then, temporary stickers have become daily homework.
? Slowly, I found that calligraphy is not only to write beautiful words, but also to find "fun" by writing. The beauty of calligraphy lies in creating interest and vividness through the expression of points, lines and faces in simple tones. Different people have different expressions. However, if you want to improve the character of Chinese characters at will, you must insist on training, and a lot of effort is still outside the words. Now, it is necessary to learn the skills inside words. I don't think the post is boring, but I feel "unique". Even if it is a little horizontal and a little thick, you can try to understand the intentions and spiritual satisfaction of the ancients.
? Later, my good friend Zhiwei set up a group and asked a group of book lovers who wrote a few strokes a day to hand in their homework and punch in to share their post-it notes. Over time, everyone's progress is obvious to all.
? On May 1 day this year, I made a plan early-writing. In those days, when the teacher only asked to stand and post, Wu Rangzhi's "Wu Jun Post" appeared. I still can't feel it. On the second day of the small holiday, "God help" came unexpectedly, holding the pen stably and freely, and writing for four hours in a row was extremely enjoyable. As a result, I got up the next morning and suddenly found a sharp pain in my shoulder and neck. For a whole month, holding the pen and lifting the wrist also involved shoulder pain. At that time, I sighed infinitely: it is really middle age!
? Middle age is coming, which is actually a bit scary. Shirts become tights, combs don't fit at all ... Fortunately, you can write and play guqin. Although the years are cruel, I still want to shout every day: get out of the way, let me write the epitaph of two black women!
? Practicing calligraphy for an hour or two every day has become my most anticipated moment.
