How to inherit the excellent traditional culture calligraphy

I. The current situation of calligraphy teaching

1. The awareness of the significance of the opening of the calligraphy course has not yet reached its due height. Calligraphy course should be used as an effective means and means of education for students' humanistic literacy, and at the same time, it is an important initiative to carry out traditional Chinese culture education in primary and secondary schools. "Literacy and writing" is one of the objectives of the new curriculum, which points out that writing is required to be done "according to the rules of stroke order", "paying attention to the inter-frame structure", "paying attention to the inter-frame structure", and "writing the characters of the alphabet". The new standard points out that writing requires "following the rules of stroke order", "paying attention to the inter-frame structure", "trying to develop good writing habits, correct writing posture, standardized, proper and neat writing". If these objectives are complemented by a calligraphy program, good teaching results will be achieved. The new standard also requires students to be able to "initially feel the beauty of the shape of Chinese characters". This goal can be realized by taking advantage of the calligraphy course. In other words, the calligraphy course should inculcate students with aesthetic culture in the process of Chinese character writing training.

2. The shortage of calligraphy teachers is the main obstacle to the opening of the course. In order to offer a course, the first thing that must be ensured is the availability of teachers. From the present point of view, the nation's general lack of calligraphy teachers, the actual situation seriously restricts the effective opening of the calligraphy course is an indisputable fact. These shortcomings will undoubtedly affect the teaching effect of the calligraphy course, in the long run, will inevitably lead to the decline in the status of the calligraphy course, and ultimately be marginalized, and even exist in name only. From the current calligraphy teacher training situation, to be equipped with enough qualified teachers for primary and secondary schools in a short period of time is obviously unrealistic.

3. The school's attitude towards calligraphy (writing) teaching. At present, primary and secondary schools generally do not pay enough attention to writing lessons. Although according to the requirements of the education sector, the school opened a weekly writing class, but often occupied by other courses, or simply the writing course into the language class, on the dispensable and extremely minor position. In addition, by the influence of exam-oriented education, many elementary school in the assessment of teachers' performance, only the students' test scores as the main basis, the teacher is forced by the pressure of scores, often occupied writing classes, only emphasize the scores, regardless of writing. As a result, the teaching of writing in some schools has become dispensable. In addition, the pressure to advance to higher education, parents are willing to send their children to English schools, bilingual schools, willing to spend money on computers and other interest classes for their children, but only to their own motherland's native culture does not care about. This is an important reason for the current situation of calligraphy (writing) teaching is worrying.

4. Social needs affect the traditional teaching of calligraphy (writing). The social demand for calligraphy talents is getting smaller and smaller, resulting in calligraphy metamorphosis into elite culture. Although there are several universities recruiting calligraphy talents, from specialist to doctoral, but most of them are related to calligraphy teacher training, antiquity, archaeology and other aspects of the study, the emergence of real calligraphy talents are few and far between. It is graduated, calligraphy talents do not have much room for survival, which is a cause of the current situation of writing.

Second, strengthen the calligraphy (writing) teaching, heritage of traditional Chinese culture

1. To promote and cultivate the national spirit as an entry point to strengthen the calligraphy (writing) teaching. Inherit the traditional culture of the motherland, the national spirit is the spiritual pillar of a nation's survival and development, is the most essential and profound embodiment of national culture.

2. Closely linked to quality education, the "book" to "culture". Calligraphy education is an important part of quality education, quality education is an organic combination of moral, intellectual, physical and aesthetic education. The carrier of calligraphy education is writing, writing (calligraphy) is an art, is the basic skills of people, so that calligraphy (writing) teaching is also part of art education. And "art education" is the center of aesthetic education, but also an important part of moral education.　　

3. Advocating the "pen is the time to practice", in the subtle influence of traditional cultural cultivation. The whole process of calligraphy education is the education process of patriotism and humanistic spirit inheritance for students, and the art of calligraphy is the main carrier of our national traditional culture. To understand, learn and know traditional culture and art, calligraphy learning is a non-surmountable mountain.

Third, to solve the current problem of countermeasures

1. Increase calligraphy teacher training.

(1) to clarify the calligraphy teacher positions, in primary and secondary school teachers series to give calligraphy educators to independent status. (2) Give play to the advantages of calligraphy professional training in colleges and universities. (3) To give full play to the important role of calligraphy curriculum experts in the development of teachers' abilities, training in the use of teaching materials, and guidance in classroom teaching.

2. As soon as possible, we should prepare teaching materials that conform to the characteristics of the calligraphy curriculum and the laws of teaching. To prepare the content of the teaching materials according to the physical and mental characteristics of students in various school segments, and requires exemplary information and methodological guidance for calligraphy teachers in terms of teaching content, teaching methods, calligraphy culture, and calligraphy appreciation. This requires a qualified team of calligraphy textbook writers to prepare as soon as possible a quality textbook with appropriate capacity, moderate difficulty, reasonable system, and in line with the characteristics of the primary and secondary calligraphy curriculum and the laws of teaching.

3. The study of calligraphy curriculum and pedagogy should be initiated, and the standards of calligraphy curriculum should be introduced as soon as possible. The study of calligraphy curriculum and pedagogy is based on the normal opening of calligraphy courses and the normal development of related teaching and research work. According to the "Opinions" requirements, teaching and research departments at all levels should include calligraphy education in the scope of teaching and research work, study the teaching rules and evaluation methods of primary and secondary calligraphy education, and arrange for teaching and research personnel to guide schools and teachers to carry out calligraphy teaching work.

Conclusion

Calligraphy has always been an important part of education in ancient China, and official education required students to master the six arts, which included the knowledge and writing of Chinese characters. It is true that calligraphy education in the traditional environment has become history, but there is no need to be pessimistic, as the culture of Chinese characters has maintained a history of 5,000 years, and the art of calligraphy has unique cultural connotations. The enhancement of national quality requires the immersion of calligraphy culture; the inheritance of traditional culture requires the support of calligraphy education. In the new period, the inheritance and promotion of calligraphy culture as a symbol of national culture deserves great attention from the state and society.
