I remember I was six years old that year. One day before the Spring Festival, my father and I went to the entrance of the academy to buy Spring Festival couplets. We saw a large group of people in front of a shop. I hurried over. Squeezing into the crowd, I saw that it turned out to be an old man with a long beard, a full face of ink, writing calligraphy works. He writes one article at a time, and the more he writes, the better he looks. Everyone around me was shocked. I'm fascinated, too. Later, I pestered my mother to sign me up for the calligraphy class in Beilin Children's Palace.
At first, I found it easy to learn calligraphy. But as soon as I took part in the research, I found myself thinking too simply. At the beginning of class, the teacher taught us how to hold the pen, lift the pen and some basic strokes. Do not dip in ink when practicing. If you dip less, you can't write it; If you dip too much, you will write a big ink knot. Wipe left and right, a good piece of white paper, let me wipe it in a mess. My hands, face and clothes are covered with ink. I haven't practiced a stroke all morning. I can't help asking my mother, "Why is it so difficult to practice calligraphy?" Mother said, "Nothing can be done in one day. You must have confidence, perseverance and patience to practice calligraphy well. " After listening to my mother's words, I realized the difficulty. I didn't give up. I picked up a pen and practiced at once.
After finishing my homework every day, I will practice two big characters, starting with the most basic strokes. Slowly, my big characters are much better than before. At home, my parents encouraged me; At the Children's Palace, the teacher praised me for my good writing. I also have confidence in myself and have more energy to practice calligraphy.
A semester passed in a blink of an eye. One day, the calligraphy teacher asked us to participate in the children's calligraphy competition organized by Beilin District. Don't mention the joy in your heart when you hear the news. On the day of the competition, I walked confidently to the venue. Only when the director of the Children's Palace gave the order, all the students in the competition waved their pens. At this time, I looked up at my mother, and I seemed to draw infinite strength from her encouraging and expecting eyes. I picked up a pen, dipped it in thick ink and began to write. I wrote "erudite and elegant". After writing it, I studied it for a long time and felt very satisfied.
After the game, prizes will be awarded later. When the director of the Children's Palace has announced the names of the students who won the bronze, silver and gold prizes respectively, I haven't heard my name yet. While I was wondering, the director of the Children's Palace said loudly, "In this competition, one of our youngest students, Li Bin, won the highest prize in this competition-the special gold medal!" Hearing the news, I jumped with joy and my heart was as sweet as honey.
Through this, I am more interested in practicing calligraphy. While learning brush calligraphy well, I also learned hard pen calligraphy. For more than two years, whether in hot summer or cold winter, my mother has been taking me to learn calligraphy. In recent two years, he participated in many calligraphy competitions and won the 19 special gold, gold, silver, bronze and excellent prize. My calligraphy works have also been printed in public picture books.
I feel very satisfied here. I prefer calligraphy. I intend to practice all the time and become a calligrapher in the future.
