The following nonsense may not fully express yourself.
In the fourth grade of primary school, Mr. Chen, who taught us Chinese, asked three or four students to practice calligraphy at the door of his dormitory after school. Bring your own bucket-sized brush and practice squatting on the concrete floor. There were no copybooks at that time. The teacher dipped in water and wrote a few words on the ground, so we watched and imitated them.
The water soon dried up, perhaps so, and we focused more on memorizing glyphs. Generally speaking, the training effect is definitely not efficient, but it will always improve whether it is one semester or two. In this process, Mr. Chen is very patient, teaching and practicing repeatedly. He never said "your writing is not good", at least I don't remember.
He writes badly. He just said, watch him write it again. My family won't tell me what to do. This is my choice. I went to practice calligraphy, not to write well, but to enjoy it there.
I didn't hear bad reviews, and I wasn't forced to be "right" and "beautiful". I write in the purest way, and I write beautifully.
"Diligence lies in industry, success lies in thinking" was often written that year. I don't remember how Mr. Chen taught me, but I remember the stench of Su Mo. When writing a work at that time, there was no good ink, so Mr. Chen poured out the ink and left it overnight. He said it was thicker. However, the ink really stinks when it is left for a long time. Smell the smelly ink, and later the ink with better quality feels very fragrant. Hey, just laugh at the thought.
Later in the fifth grade, Mr. Chen left our school, and Mr. Zhong Minghai and Mr. Luo took over the calligraphy training. We began to do routine training with ink, but we still practiced according to the teacher's model. I can't remember when there was a copybook. It seems that I didn't really have a copybook until I graduated from college and went to the training camp of the internship base of China Academy of Fine Arts in Hangzhou to study calligraphy.
In the fourth, fifth and sixth grades of primary school, I persisted, so my handwriting became better and better, and I got more and more favorable comments. I also had the opportunity to participate in the calligraphy competition.
Our rural children rarely have the opportunity to compete, and sometimes they go to the city to compete, which is novel and eye-opening. These are the compound interests of practicing calligraphy, which let me experience a wider world. The beauty of words was a sense of accomplishment at that time, and it has benefited me a lot ever since.
At the age of ten, we really didn't want to write well, let alone inherit the culture. We are keen on practicing calligraphy, but actually we like to get together. One or two hours after school, pen in hand, talking and laughing. The teacher didn't ask for anything, and boring repetitive exercises are not boring now, but they are very human. At most, the teacher will be a little anxious when it comes to the game. If it doesn't suit him, I can't remember anything. Only the company of partners is the most profound.
I think learning to write requires many beautiful, pure beginnings and happy processes. Even if you can't write well, you must never live up to your life. Seeing a lot of anxious parents, they let their children learn calligraphy at will, and the training methods of carrots and sticks make their children feel uncomfortable with each other and get twice the result with half the effort.
No matter what you learn, first of all, you have a pleasant experience in the learning process, which can at least make people endure monotony and repetition.
It takes at least hundreds of hours to learn a skill, and tens of thousands of hours if you want to be superb, so when you have no foundation, don't think about reaching the sky in one step. I am also glad that I had the most abundant time to continue practicing calligraphy when I was young, which laid a solid foundation. I also think that words can't be used for a hundred days. If you want to learn calligraphy or let your children learn calligraphy, you must correctly understand this matter.
First of all, we should accept our position, step by step, and let everything start from a beautiful place.
Many parents will ask the best time for calligraphy enlightenment and when to learn hard pen. When did you learn to write Chinese calligraphy? I think parents are actually ready to accompany their children and find the right teacher to start. Even if he is three or five years old, he can train according to his age and level.
When I was practicing calligraphy, Lele, who was three or four years old, was interested in drawing with him. Non-utilitarian attitude, guiding children to be interested and patiently accompanying them is the best enlightenment.
Writing is a delicate movement with eyes, hands and heart. Both big and fine sports are matured through exercise.
Learning to wear beads, draw, do manual work and play the piano in early childhood will all contribute to the development of hand muscles and let the hand control the pen faster. If you think your child's grip on the pen is not strong enough, don't just practice writing, but exercise hand muscles in all aspects.
Shoulders, arms, wrists, palms and fingers are a series of movements. Only when your hands are flexible can you write easily. If you only stare at practicing calligraphy, you will get twice the result with half the effort. The child will be really tired and will form bad posture habits.
Blind practice is a kind of injury.
Sharp tools can do a good job.
Children began to draw, using a thick brush, which is very excellent, easy and effortless, so that children can get used to holding the pen gently. At first, I wrote with a hard pen. It is suggested to use a triangular pencil, which can fix the position and write with three fingers together.
Keep your head straight and your feet flat, mainly to relax your shoulders and feet.
Open your fingers and understand the four-point positioning. Thumb, forefinger and middle finger, each person's finger length is different, and the pen is not exactly the same, which generally means that the palm is empty and flexible.
Practicing circle and figure 8 means practicing stretching freely, so drawing is very important for writing, because the full practice of lines makes fingers flexible.
I often meet parents who say that if they think their children's writing is not serious or good, let them erase it and rewrite it. If they write it, they will be angry.
Ask parents to describe what is "not serious", what is "not well written", or what is "serious" and what is "well written". Parents often can't tell clearly. If parents don't know how to look good, children naturally don't understand.
Do sophomores write as carefully as paintings? Does it look nice?
Seriously doesn't mean beautiful, clean doesn't mean beautiful. Writing is far more than "earnest".
There are essential differences between Chinese characters and letters. Chinese characters have beautiful images, and well-written characters conform to certain aesthetic laws.
The same is the second grade. By contrast, what's the difference? Roughly classified, one is Song Like style and the other is regular script style. I said, this word looks popular and comfortable. This character is very smooth when it is rewritten.
Many times, children can't catch up with their homework when they reach the senior grade, and they don't have the patience to learn Chinese characters at first, but they don't know the tricks of writing quickly and well, because they learned Song Ti in the middle and lower grades, which doesn't conform to the writing rules, and because they always think that the words in Song Ti are beautiful, which is purely a misunderstanding.
Nowadays, many printed materials can be displayed in Song style, but in fact, they are not words that people can write, which does not conform to our writing rules. Sometimes teachers don't pay attention to this point in teaching, thinking that it is correct for children to write like this, but it is not. If children are allowed to copy Song style or print regular script in teaching, their calligraphy will become dull and lifeless.
How to read good words?
The small password of Chinese teaching summary: look at the size, look at the position, look at the structure, look at the strokes. Hard pen writing, mainly aimed at the characters in Tian Zi Gerry, is full in size, centered, in line with word formation and beautiful in shape. (If the n word is omitted here, it will not be expanded. )
If the child's handwriting is not good, there must be a specific statement, and the child will know how to correct it. Say "not serious" and "not good" in general, the child really doesn't know what you are talking about.
Where is the target? Get as close as possible. Take the road of law and you will get it. Let children practice with good words and goals, regardless of quantity and quality. When they haven't mastered the rules, it's not good to practice too much, and they have formed a habit, which is difficult to change. Therefore, in children's calligraphy training classes, teachers often only teach a few words and practice only a few words.
How to teach the law? In the past, people didn't have much practice in writing, just watching copybooks copy over and over again to achieve accuracy, even like a copier.
It's not the same now. We don't have to practice by ourselves. Many people have summarized the rules, such as the rules of single words and combined characters. There are countless copybooks on the market. This kind of copybook is processed by teaching rules. It simplifies the teaching process of teachers into written expression. Adults can practice by themselves, and children certainly need the help of adults to understand.
Tell children that the rules of writing must be as simple and vivid as possible. For example, if you don't teach this, children will know that writing is so beautiful, but if you don't teach it so vividly, it is difficult for children to understand. Knowing doesn't mean doing it, so we need to teach our children writing skills. Sometimes it is verbally stipulated to "gently lift the pen when leaving", and sometimes it is necessary to make children feel that writing is natural.
Teaching writing is a technical job.
Some people are very talented and have no specific teachers. They practice by watching their own words. However, people who think independently often have no system. If they are asked to teach others to write, he can't tell how to write well. Some calligraphy tutors also find it difficult for children to write.
On the contrary, some people's own handwriting is not good, but deliberately remembering some writing rules can generally guide children.
However, if you don't understand it, just saying "not serious" and "not good" means not saying it, and even confusing children.
The written description of word formation is concrete and considerable, and once mastered, it will become a standard or ruler. For example, horizontal and vertical stroke stretching. In fact, what I usually teach my children is "horizontal and vertical", which is also different from Songti. It is the characteristic of handwritten regular script, so I won't discuss it here. For example, most words with left and right structures are small on the left and large on the right, and a small part of them are small on the right and large on the left. There are many rules.
Tian Zige Line is also a measuring ruler. It is necessary to compare the standardized words, strive for accuracy, and even use a real ruler to measure them.
Never. The first stage of learning is to learn to imitate, that is, to copy accurately, and then to talk about creation and pursue individuality. Writing is a realistic copy, not a blind practice.
Literacy is much more important than writing. On the surface, the handwriting difference between the two junior two students is that they have learned the rules and have not learned the rules, but their literacy is also different. A student only studies Chinese books and seldom reads extracurricular books. Another student has read at least hundreds of picture books and dozens of story books during my teaching year.
There is a qualitative difference between reading and writing ability. If the words are not unfamiliar, there will be no memory difficulties when writing, and the words are unfamiliar. First of all, it is difficult to recall the structure and strokes, and it is also difficult to consider whether the writing is good or not.
Feeling the charm of words and falling in love with them is the best harvest when I was a child. I also hope that children will have such gains when teaching, so I will vigorously promote children's extracurricular reading. I think only by loving literacy can we love writing.
This is what a famous Chinese teacher Chen Qin said. When I reread it recently, I suddenly felt suddenly enlightened. In these two years of Chinese teaching, I almost only taught beautiful writing, but I didn't teach any rules for memorizing words. After a semester of copying practice, most children rarely make typos, and correcting homework has become a pleasure.
Letting children pursue beautiful writing and teaching them methods is a shortcut to reduce typos.
Writing is reading, drawing, sports, aesthetic feeling, the guidance of a good teacher, the company of friends and so on.
Take your time, do the right thing, don't practice blindly, don't repeat mistakes blindly, start from a beautiful place and practice calligraphy efficiently and correctly.
