Painted Egg

Leonardo da Vinci was an outstanding Vietnamese painter in Italy during the European Renaissance. He was fond of painting since he was a child, and his father sent him to Florence to learn from the famous painter Frochio. In the first class, the teacher taught him how to draw eggs. He drew one after another for more than ten days, but the teacher still asked him to continue drawing eggs. At this time, Daqi couldn't figure it out, so he asked the teacher: "Why do you always ask me to draw eggs?" The teacher told him: Eggs Although it is paralyzed, nothing is absolutely the same in the world. Even if it is the same egg, the angle is different and the light cast is different. For example, if you raise your head to look higher, or lower your eyes to look lower, the oval outline of the egg will be different. There are differences. Therefore, egg painting is a basic skill. Basic skills must be practiced until you are comfortable with them.

From then on, Leonardo da Vinci worked hard on his basic skills and painted eggs every day. One year, two years, three years... The sketches he used to draw eggs were piled high. After a long period of diligent artistic practice, he finally created many immortal paintings and became a master of his generation.

Dong Lao's cane

The old revolutionary Dong Biwu liked calligraphy and practiced calligraphy diligently after his busy work. In his later years he always carried a cane when out in the open air. When you are tired from walking and sit down to rest, you can use your cane as a pen and practice writing on the ground. If you sit high up, you can simply hold your cane like a pen and write in the air. When walking, use a cane to exercise your wrist strength in holding and handling pens. Due to Mr. Dong's diligent study, his calligraphy is beautiful and straight, and he is known as "Dong style".
