The brush as a writing instrument for Chinese has continued for thousands of years, and it is said that since the invention of the brush by General MengTian in the Qin Dynasty, it has brought convenience to many readers. They are liberated from the ancient oracle bones, gold text and other bulky writing methods, people write books, record every bit of events and spiritual experiences in production and life, and people record China's history and culture, which is itself a reproduction and reflection of art.
I have been studying the art of calligraphy for several years, and my experience is that it would be a pity to discard what my ancestors left behind because I had a computer. Now many foreigners are practicing Chinese brush characters, and understanding China's profound ancient culture through words is the charm of calligraphy as a national classic. As a Chinese, there is no reason for us to give up the study and inheritance of the art of calligraphy. Carrying forward the art of calligraphy, inheriting the past and opening up the future, and writing Chinese characters well is our unshirkable historical responsibility, which is one of them.
Second, calligraphy can cultivate self-cultivation and cultivate sentiments. Because the art of calligraphy itself is an inexhaustible treasure trove of artistic nutrition. The process of writing can make people quickly calm down in the complicated environment of the world, the qi and blood are transported, the spirit is refreshing, and the nature is integrated, like the flowing water of the mountains, not bothered by chores, drawing cultural nutrition from the art of calligraphy, and understanding the philosophy of life.
Third, China's square Chinese characters were obtained by successive generations of working people from production practice. Each simplified and traditional Chinese character has its profound cultural connotation, and like a living individual, it all reflects their unique inner soul and external characteristics. The process of thinking about and understanding each Chinese character is the process of inheriting Chinese culture. At the same time, it is also a process of improving one's own cultural standards.
Fourth, there is no shortcut to learning calligraphy. Like climbing a mountain and climbing a cliff, if you want to reach the top, it is completely impossible without the spirit of hard work. Among the many calligraphy artists that emerged in ancient China, the most valuable of them was Yan Liu Ou Zhao. Since it is calligraphy, there must be a dharma. Therefore, we must follow the law of calligraphy, calm down and carefully copy the model of each person, only by going on for a long time and absorbing the strengths of all, can we appreciate the mysteries and improve our calligraphy level to a certain extent. The bones and muscles of the word are deeply embedded in the memory, so that they can be confident and form their own style.
