Many people write very slowly when practicing calligraphy. They practice according to the copybook one stroke at a time. However, after leaving the copybook, they will find that they can't help but return to the font used before. This is true for adults, let alone children. What is the reason for this? Is there any solution? Parents must understand that practicing calligraphy requires slow effort, that is, not speed, but children need speed when writing homework. When the speed is fast, it is easy for the words to lose their shape, or even directly return to the previous writing state.

Writing well is not easy in itself, because not everyone can write well. Maybe parents are wondering, why do their children write so well when practicing calligraphy? In fact, this is the result of copying a cat and drawing a tiger, which is called copying in professional writing terms. Lin means practicing calligraphy against the copybook, while copying means using a piece of transparent paper to trace characters on the copybook, which is also called tracing red. When children are copying characters, they have the original character shapes to refer to, and the words they write will naturally look more like the characters on the copybook. However, when children are doing homework, there is no copybook to refer to. Moreover, what they need when writing homework is speed, and they will quickly return to their original writing habits. After practicing calligraphy for a long time, the brain will store the words in the copybook and present a three-dimensional spatial impression, and the hand holding the pen will also build up muscle memory through thousands of repetitions. If the child returns to the original state after writing homework, it means that the time for practicing writing is too short.

I have practiced hard-pen and brush calligraphy for many years. In the process of practicing calligraphy, I will memorize the calligraphy for a long time, that is, carefully observe the structure of each word in the copybook and the position of the strokes until I close it. The three-dimensional image of the word can clearly appear in the brain. Even when writing, the stored memory impression can be recalled at any time without looking at the copybook. At the same time, in the process of practicing calligraphy, the hand will generate a kind of muscle memory based on the movements of starting, moving and stopping the pen. Without a long period of practice, these basic skills will not be solid. Naturally, there will be no words in the mind, and the writing will be very casual, and it will be easy to return to the original state when writing homework. There is no need for parents to ask their children to write like the words in the copybook when doing homework. Instead, they should ask their children to strive to be horizontal and vertical, as long as the words are neat and neat. If you can bring the consciousness of practicing calligraphy during the writing process and find the feeling of using the pen, it will be easier to make the handwriting look better.

Since the process of practicing calligraphy is to train children’s eyes to observe the structure of words, the position of strokes and their matching, and in the process of writing, the hand holding the pen will accurately control the length and position of the strokes. , retraction and retraction, therefore, children need to be specially trained to have words in their mind, to read and write with their eyes, and to control their attention when using the pen. As long as the child writes the words neatly, there is no need to emphasize too much that the words must be written exactly like the words in the copybook. If children are no longer under pressure and do not have to complete homework writing tasks to high standards, they will focus on how to write well. If you want your children to apply the feeling of daily calligraphy practice to their writing homework, you need to guide your children to establish the aesthetics of writing. Only if your children can compare their own calligraphy can they find out where the problem lies, so that they can correct themselves during the writing process.

I have observed the writing performance of many primary and secondary school students during their homework. I found that after many children finish their homework, you ask them, they have obviously practiced calligraphy, why don’t they use the basic function of practicing calligraphy in writing? What about homework? The children basically couldn't answer. I asked the child to write the good words he wrote in writing on the whiteboard, and then asked him to write again at the same speed as when he was practicing calligraphy. Then let the children compare to see which word looks better and which one do you like better? As a result, the children all chose to mention the latter. Ask your child again why you like the latter? Children can't tell it. In fact, this reflects a problem, that is, if children are not taught the aesthetics of writing, they will not be able to discover which word is written well, or which painting is written well, or which one is better in the process of comparing words. A well-written assignment. As long as children are allowed to discover the beauty and given more encouragement, they will be happy to write seriously and write in the same way as they practice calligraphy. Parents and children (or children and children) evaluate each other's handwriting, and by finding faults and discovering problems, children can enhance their awareness of standardized writing.

In the past, when children practiced calligraphy, they often only pursued one word and did not focus on comparison. If parents and children are allowed to evaluate each other's handwriting and find faults, the children will be able to discover problems in other people's handwriting, and at the same time, it will also emphasize the standardization of children's writing. Because you can appreciate other people's handwriting and identify problems, you naturally have to follow a standard. When this standard is very familiar in the child's brain, it will naturally be applied in homework. Of course, this method can also allow children to make interactive comments. Children do not want to write poorly, so they are naturally willing to write seriously.

Conclusion: Children’s writing problems include their interest in writing, their compliance with writing rules, their mood when doing homework, etc. It's actually a very complex issue. If parents don’t know some common sense about calligraphy, and your handwriting doesn’t look good, or you don’t appreciate calligraphy, it will be difficult for you to train your children in writing. You can only rely on what I said above. You have a general idea, and then communicate with your child to see if he can listen and whether he is willing to write the homework in a very standardized or beautiful way to gain the approval of his parents or teachers. Praise.

My daughter learned hard-pen calligraphy in the second semester of her first grade. Like the person in the question, she practiced calligraphy for a year at a regular calligraphy practice institution. We went together as a group with classmates in the class. 10 students, after studying for a year, the collective feedback was that the handwriting in the training class was very good, but when it came to the homework book, the handwriting was simply a mess. After discussion, we decided not to study there.

After being introduced by a friend, his uncle taught calligraphy, and we were originally transferred to him to learn it. Later, his uncle directly told us that learning from him would be the same, and the children have already mastered the basic strokes. , 70 minutes of the 90 minutes in the training class are actually written by myself, which is the same as practicing at home.

The reason why children cannot write well at home is because:

1. There is a lot of homework, and it is impossible to write stroke by stroke like in the training class;

2. As the saying goes, practice makes perfect. Children only practice for a few dozen minutes in a training class a week, which is not perfect;

It is recommended that parents:

1. Let them practice every day Children practice calligraphy;

2. When doing homework at home, write slowly, don’t rush for speed, and erase and rewrite if you don’t write well.

Our children came here the same way, I hope it can help you.

I would like to share some experience in practicing calligraphy. This is my personal experience in practicing calligraphy. Now it is equally effective when applied to my children. I would like to share it with everyone.

First of all, let me tell you that the child writes very well when practicing calligraphy and returns to the previous font when writing homework. In fact, the reason is that when writing homework, he must be drawing fast, so he does not write according to the method when practicing calligraphy. This happens to me as well as our children. Let me talk about the specific solution.

First, when your child has achieved certain results in his calligraphy practice, prepare a notebook for him. Take some time every day, such as 10 minutes after school at noon, and let him excerpt ancient poems, famous sentences, or things the child is willing to write, such as movie lines, etc. Don’t seek quantity, only quality. This time should not be too long. I arrange 10 minutes for my children every day. The words written in these 10 minutes must be written strictly according to the method when practicing calligraphy. The advantages of doing this are, first, you can practice calligraphy, and second, you can accumulate more knowledge, which is helpful for learning.

Second, after practicing for a period of time and your calligraphy has a certain style, find some newspapers or magazines and write directly on them while practicing calligraphy. The advantage of this is that the words are randomized. When a child practices calligraphy, he or she may not necessarily see which word. If he can write, he will write it. If he cannot write, he will look through the copybook to find out the correct way to write the word, and then practice more.

Third, hang up the words you practiced. Let children see their progress every day. If you want, you can buy some awards. Let the children write a certificate of award, and write the certificate to their father, mother or themselves. Enhance the sense of honor and ceremony. Let your children fall in love with writing in disguise.

Fourth, go through these stages of practice. When children write homework, they will have a certain style of writing, and parents will give them some encouragement and affirmation. Slowly your writing will get better and better.

In the end, it depends on what level you want your child to reach. If it looks good, it will be fine. A year of practice is about the same. If you want to practice very well. More than three years. My classmate won the first prize in the National Youth Calligraphy Competition when he was in school. At that time, he had been practicing calligraphy for 6 years. I just practiced three types of calligraphy: regular script, official script, and Wei stele.

Whether children learning calligraphy can apply what they have learned in homework and exams will help improve their academic performance. I have encountered two situations with opposite outcomes, success and failure, and I really feel deeply about it. Let’s talk about the failure first.

When I led a cram school last year, the student pool was extremely poor. In the first proficiency test, half of the students with a total score of 150 in Chinese failed, and the scores of the passing students also hovered between 90 and 100. I took back the students' answer sheets and analyzed them carefully. In addition to the lack of knowledge and poor thinking in answering the questions, a serious problem is the writing of the composition. The handwriting is scrawled, marked and scrawled; some characters are too small to be seen clearly. , some characters are too big, so big that they stick out of the edges, and the characters are right next to each other. The compositions of these failed students were not biased in purpose and the number of words was enough to be 800 words, but their scores were very low, with most of them scoring in the 38s or 90s. So I decided to conduct targeted training on students' writing. I asked them to read a copybook with a fountain pen every day and provide guidance and corrections. At first, because it was during the summer vacation, time was not too tight and students were more interested, so the results were good. However, after the school started, many students could not persist. Later, fewer and fewer students persisted, and eventually it stopped. Let’s talk about a successful example – my daughter practices calligraphy.

When I was a child, the interest classes my daughter enrolled in were not calligraphy classes, but painting and dance. After studying painting for a semester, I stopped learning because my daughter was "unskilled". Then I consulted my daughter's opinion and signed up for a dance class, which she continued until the first grade of junior high school. Learning to write was brought up by my daughter one summer vacation. We felt that no matter how much we learned, it would be beneficial to our studies, so we readily agreed. Unexpectedly, my daughter studied for one period during the holiday, and then she insisted on studying again. After school starts, continue studying on weekends.

At first, I had the same problem mentioned by the person in the question. I could write very well in temporary posts, and even write beautifully after taking off the posts. I often participated in various calligraphy competitions organized by the school, but it was still difficult to use it when writing homework. When excerpting things, I can still look decent at a slower pace, and I can quickly return to my original form when writing assignments assigned by the teacher or taking exams. It’s really helpless!

Fortunately, I have personal experience. I know deeply that practicing calligraphy and writing in daily life are two different things. When I first started teaching, I was criticized by the principal - the Chinese teacher wrote two "dog characters", so I started to work hard to practice calligraphy. It was the same situation. I could write well when I practiced specifically, but I showed my ugly face when I came to the podium. There were times when I had the idea of ??giving up, but when I thought about being embarrassed in front of the students, I gritted my teeth and kept practicing. After a few years, I could finally use my hands to write random words on the blackboard without realizing it. So when faced with my daughter's problem of "not being able to apply what she has learned," I know that one is not enough time, and the other is that there is too much homework, and there is no time at all to consciously apply what I have learned while slowing down the pace of writing. Fortunately, this did not affect my daughter's interest in writing, and she continued to practice calligraphy. Around the fourth grade, my daughter's homework has improved significantly. Now, no matter how fast she writes, the frame structure and strokes of her words are basically in place. The feelings and experiences of two things.

1. There is no need to rush into the "integration" of calligraphy practice and writing. You must follow the rule of "work will come naturally". The reason why my students fail is that they don’t have enough time to practice for a month or two, and they are busy practicing questions every day. They are short of time, don’t put in enough effort, and their minds are not used to practice calligraphy. It is easier said than done to achieve quick success in a short period of time based solely on utilitarianism.

2. Interest is the motivation to persist in practicing calligraphy. The reason why my daughter is successful is that she is very interested in writing and practicing calligraphy is not utilitarian. As long as you work hard, success will come naturally. It doesn’t matter if you have no interest but have perseverance. For example, in my own experience, it was mainly through perseverance that I was able to achieve the integration of calligraphy and writing.

3. Learn to write as early as possible. It is best to start enrolling in calligraphy classes when your children first learn to write. Faced with the cases where my students failed to practice calligraphy, and the difficulty in applying what they learned when practicing calligraphy, I have thought deeply about it. In addition to time constraints, lack of effort, lack of interest, and lack of perseverance, there are more critical factors. One factor cannot be ignored, and that is - people who have become monks and started to practice calligraphy have already fixed their calligraphy. The older they are and the longer they have been writing, the greater their "concentration" on the calligraphy, and naturally the more difficult it is to "correct" it. ". The "pen style" that has been formed over many years depends on one copybook a day and the number of copying a word three times. And I don't know how much I will "consolidate" the hand style that I have already practiced for that word in my homework today. This time, if you say something unpleasant, your positive skills in calligraphy practice have been offset by your negative skills and disappeared without a trace. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that parents, if they want their children to have beautiful handwriting and good calligraphy, start training when their children first learn to write.

In a nutshell, rely on interest and perseverance, believe in the truth that success will come naturally, and remember the lesson of doing it sooner rather than later.

When children practice calligraphy, they are facing each other and have someone to imitate. When writing homework, they are facing away from their backs. If they do not understand the structural rules of words and feel confused when they have not practiced calligraphy, it will be difficult to write well. If you don’t do back-facing training when practicing calligraphy, it will not be easy to write well. So what methods should be adopted to apply what has been learned, and work steadily, dignified, and elegantly when writing homework.

First, use the poetry memory method. When students practice writing poems, they don't find it boring and monotonous. Only when they can practice a poem and write it well can they pass the test.

(The author practices pen and regular script.)

Second, analyzing the structural characteristics of characters will be of great help in being able to easily memorize characters.

(The author's pen calligraphy practice.)

For example, the character "Min" in the picture above has a square shape, the same width on the left and right, and the left is higher and the right is lower. The left part is oblique and the right part is upright. The four horizontal lines on the left part are equidistant, the middle horizontal line is long and stretches to the left, and the horizontal line is long and stretches to the right. It complies with the principle of appropriate proportion of Chinese character structure.

For example, in the character "ER" in the picture above, the vertical hook on the left and the vertical hook on the right are inclined inward. The four vertical strokes are different in length and slope, which is consistent with the three changes in the structure of Chinese characters. A principle of law.

For example, the word "春" in the picture above has a long stroke and a long stroke. It complies with the structural principle of highlighting the main strokes.

For example, the middle vertical part of the character "华" in the picture above is strong and straight, which not only supports the entire character, but also has a stable center of gravity, which is in line with the structural rules and principles of a stable center of gravity in the structure of Chinese characters.

When students can grasp the main structural regularity and characteristics, even if they have not practiced the characters, they can memorize them to meet the requirements of beauty.

(The author’s pen calligraphy exercises)

Third, the amount of temporary posts is small, so students are not impressed. When a certain amount is reached, the quality can be guaranteed and the fonts will be finalized. In my mind, writing is like a conditioned reflex at the bottom of the pen.

. Fourth, when writing homework, due to limited time and large workload, it is necessary to write regular script to ensure quality and speed, and to meet the requirements of hard-pen regular script calligraphy. If each stroke is precise according to the requirements of calligraphy, If it is more difficult, in order to increase the writing speed, the changes in the strokes, strokes, and thickness of the lines should be appropriately weakened. Emphasis is placed on structural aesthetics to increase writing speed.

(Personal opinion, for reference only. Please forgive me for any inappropriateness. )

That's normal.

When I was in my third year of high school, I started practicing calligraphy. At that time, they were all Pang Zhonghua’s copybooks. After practicing for a while, I felt that my handwriting was pretty good, but as soon as I started writing homework, or even just writing a paragraph, I returned to my old ugly state. Why? 01 The words you write when practicing calligraphy are other people’s consciousness, and the words you write when doing homework are your own consciousness

Practicing calligraphy is to imitate others, follow the footsteps of others, and your own thinking is shallow. Therefore, it may happen that you can write well against the copybook, but you will not be able to write without the copybook. This is the most common phenomenon that occurs when you first start practicing calligraphy, and it is also an inevitable experience in the initial stage of calligraphy practice.

When I first started practicing calligraphy, I followed the writing on the copybook one stroke at a time, so it looked pretty good, at least somewhat similar in shape. But at this time, I often rarely think about the relationship between strokes, and there is no clear structure of words in my mind. Therefore, when I put aside the copybook and write independently, the structure of the characters I established before is still occupied in my mind, and I unconsciously write according to the old way. Sometimes I occasionally think of the writing method of individual strokes of the calligraphy practice, and I mix it into it. It turned out that the characters were even uglier than before.

This situation will gradually improve with continuous practice and continuous proficiency in the structure of the words on the copybook.

However, this phenomenon will last a lifetime. However, when your calligraphy practice reaches a high level, your calligraphy will stay at that high level. If you want to make a breakthrough, you will encounter the same problem again. This is the process of rising over and over again. Depending on the understanding of different people, breaking through this bottleneck may be faster or slower. 02 When you practice calligraphy, you think about the words, and when you write homework, you think about the learning tasks

When you practice calligraphy, you concentrate on writing the words well, and you constantly observe and analyze the structural relationship and strokes of the words. Severity. Therefore, the font shape keeps getting closer to the copybook, and the more you write, the better.

When doing homework, I just think about completing the homework, not how to write well. In fact, sometimes although the mind will have the idea of ??writing well, because at this time the full energy cannot be used in writing, it often happens that the hand is not careful. What you think in your mind is one thing, but writing it out is another thing. Of course, this is also the reason why the calligraphy I have practiced is not yet proficient enough to be used casually.

When knowledge or skills have not reached the point where practice makes perfect, it is very common for hands and hearts to become separated. This situation often occurs in learning. For example, the teacher just explained the solution to a certain question type during class, and the students themselves understood it. But when I solved a similar problem myself, I still didn’t know how to write. 03 The level of psychological requirements for calligraphy practice and writing homework are different.

When practicing calligraphy, the level of psychological requirements for writing good calligraphy is high. When practicing calligraphy, you have to compare and write stroke by stroke, which is very time-consuming. Generally, you can only write a few dozen words in one or two hours.

When doing homework, I don’t have high expectations for writing good words. If I don’t write a word well, I will often not write it again, but just make the words look ugly (of course, homework is not allowed to write repeatedly. ). Therefore, the handwriting written during homework is definitely not as good-looking as the handwriting written during calligraphy practice. At the same time, efficiency is also important when writing homework. If you write your homework according to the writing method of calligraphy practice, you may not be able to finish one homework from night to dawn. 04 Homework writing and calligraphy practice books are different ways of thinking. There is no need to insist on writing homework as well as practicing calligraphy.

The purpose of practicing calligraphy is to write well. Then homework also falls into the category of writing. Practicing calligraphy well is definitely helpful for writing homework, but you can't do it too hastily. When students become very proficient in handwriting, their handwriting will naturally become better when writing homework. This is not the time to practice calligraphy.

However, when doing homework, you cannot let it go back to the original state, as that will have a counterproductive effect on calligraphy practice. Therefore, although writing homework cannot achieve the effect of practicing calligraphy, you should try to write carefully. At this time, the speed of writing homework may be slower than usual. Students themselves have to find a balance between speed and good handwriting. 05 In addition to making the words look beautiful, practicing calligraphy also has a great effect in improving students' concentration and patience.

Practicing calligraphy is also a process of training thinking and learning quality. Children who write well when practicing calligraphy show that they use their brains to think when practicing calligraphy. Those who only practice calligraphy based on templates without thinking actually find it difficult to write well.

Practicing calligraphy can gradually develop the habit of meditation. Meditation is the prerequisite for deep thinking, so practicing calligraphy is very helpful in cultivating children's concentration. And as the child's learning level rises, the benefits of this help will become more and more obvious.

In addition, practicing calligraphy can also cultivate children's willpower and endurance. At the beginning, practicing calligraphy was a continuous mechanized training process. It's actually quite boring. If the child can persevere, it will greatly improve the child's willpower and endurance.

Therefore, we should look at the benefits of calligraphy practice from multiple aspects, and don’t dwell on the fact that calligraphy practice is not helpful for writing homework. That's just a matter of time.

Many people have encountered this situation when they first learned calligraphy. They felt that they wrote well when they were writing the calligraphy, but once they put down the copybook, they couldn't do anything. 1. Reasons

This situation not only exists when learning calligraphy, but is more common when studying in school. I feel like I understand everything when I listen to the teacher's lectures, and I know how to do the exercises after class, but when it comes to the exam, I feel confused.

The reason lies in the lack of organic connection between learning and using the two skins. In calligraphy, the content to be created has nothing to do with the inscription. For example, the content to be written is "Zhi Hu Zhe Ye", while the content to be written is "beautiful and handsome guy".

This is the reason why your child can write well when practicing calligraphy, but returns to the original shape when doing homework. 2. Solution

1. Time-reduced copying

First determine a period of words that usually takes 30 minutes to practice, keep the amount of words unchanged, and continuously shorten the practice time, such as 28 minutes, 25 minutes minutes, 20 minutes.

By shortening the time, you can become more proficient in writing, thus forming what we often call "muscle memory" and producing natural reactions when writing.

2. Calligraphy training

In calligraphy learning, calligraphy training is a commonly used method to transition from copying to creation. First, find some words from the words you often practice, and compose some words in twos and threes for creation. Continue to increase the number of words until the words form lines, paragraphs, and articles.

Another benefit of collecting characters is that this kind of training will unconsciously form a habit, and you will practice it as a game whenever you have time.

Through these trainings, the problem of the disconnect between training and practice can be better corrected. But at the same time, we must also understand a problem: after all, homework and homework are two different things. Don't expect your homework to be written like a copybook. This is indeed a very common problem. It is actually not difficult to solve this problem. Based on the author's many years of experience in calligraphy creation and being a calligraphy tutor, I would like to share my views and experiences.

First of all, you must have a good (real) calligraphy teacher to guide you. This is the same as the reason why a school-age child cannot do without a teacher from elementary school to graduation from college.

Secondly, children cannot learn calligraphy by themselves, because children are in the enlightenment stage and have difficulty distinguishing between beauty and ugliness, good and bad.

When I teach my calligraphy students, I first require them to master the basic strokes and radicals of regular script, whether it is hard-pen regular script or brush regular script.

Third, I require my students to put the words I teach him or her into daily writing and application. They must not practice before practicing, learn after learning, or listen before listening. Just do it (do your homework).

Fourth, tell my students about the dangers of not applying what they have learned. If "practice comes back to practicing, learning comes back to learning, listening comes back to listening, and doing comes back to doing" (doing homework), even if you study for a lifetime, it will be in vain (all your previous efforts have been wasted).

Fifth, tell my students the benefits of learning calligraphy well, especially in the college entrance examination, the critical moment that determines the destiny of life, beautiful calligraphy will play an important role that cannot be ignored! …

Sixth, when learning calligraphy, you must choose copybooks from ancient and modern famous writers. Never imitate the calligraphy written by the teacher. You must understand that "the best way to get the best is to get the middle; the best to get the best is the middle." down" principle. Otherwise, it will be misleading. Seventh, practice has proven that my teaching method is effective. In just over a month, the parent of one of my students saw significant progress in his son! I specially recommended another student to learn calligraphy from me... The author has summarized some experience and understanding in tutoring, I hope it can provide some help to the children of netizens! I have studied this problem carefully and found a solution.

First look at the composition fragments of the two students’ monthly examination papers, and then compare and explain the papers: Supplementary notes: Comparison conclusion: Training suggestions:

When practicing calligraphy, pay attention!

Song Lian, the first civil servant who founded the Ming Dynasty, once said: If the nature is not inferior, then the intention is not as good as my dedicated ear. Although it talks about the reasons why one's career is not successful and one's virtue is not perfect, the same principle applies to calligraphy practice. When I draw red on the post, I strive to have a neat and beautiful attitude, so I can write well when I practice calligraphy. When it comes to writing homework, my inner goal changes, that is, the mentality of completing the homework and everything will be fine, so it is not surprising that it is not good.

How to solve it?

Attitude determines height!

Good calligraphy is half of writing. Those who are good at composition will win Chinese, and those who are good at Chinese will win the world. Keep in mind the starting point and importance of practicing calligraphy. I would rather slow down to write beautiful and correct words than just chase speed and focus on quantity. Ignore the quality and start slowly. Once you grasp the structural beauty of the characters and become familiar with the length and short arc of the characters when writing, you will be able to have both speed and quality.

Good habits pay off!

When practicing calligraphy, choose a copybook and practice the words commonly used in daily vocabulary learning first, such as: I, of, good, plus, spring, can, etc. Pick out the words that appear frequently in homework. , practice repeatedly, and reach the state where practice makes perfect. In this way, you can start simple and achieve initial results.

In addition, when practicing calligraphy, you should choose a copybook with both textual quality and beauty. It can not only practice calligraphy but also add literary connotation. It can show the text when writing and achieve multiple benefits.

Everything is precious and perseverant. I wish your children can write beautiful handwriting and win the most beautiful life!
