On the importance of Chinese characters: 1000 words

Chinese characters are the masterpieces of China people. Their writing style has certain standards, and the most basic ones are correct strokes and reasonable bookshelf structure. It is natural for China people to write Chinese characters well, but today many Chinese characters are not well written. Open the students' homework, the handwriting is scrawled and crooked, just like "flying on the grass", even missing arms and legs, and there are a lot of typos. Reading some students' homework is like reading a gobbledygook, which is difficult to identify, and the requirements for students' neat handwriting have become illusory. At present, the basic education in China is changing from "exam-oriented education" to "quality education", and the study of China's long cultural tradition is an indispensable part of quality education. Modern students live in a technologically advanced society,

Modern science and technology provide convenience for people, but it also makes people ignore some traditional cultures. Students generally believe that the quality of writing is irrelevant. "Words are like people", and the quality of words can reflect the writer's mental outlook. "The heart is right, the pen is right", and the book focuses on morality. By letting students learn to write, we can have a concrete concept of the excellent traditional culture of the Chinese nation, cultivate students' good moral character, love the motherland's thoughts and national pride. Therefore, strengthening writing training is also one of the means to promote quality education.

Compared with the school curriculum, writing teaching is mainly to develop people's right brain, which is beneficial to the coordinated development of people's left and right brains. By copying tablets and observing the structure and composition of words, students' thinking ability of grasping things as a whole can be cultivated. Writing is closely related to Chinese. Writing can consolidate literacy, recognize glyphs and understand the meaning of words. Writing is the foundation and introduction of calligraphy. China's calligraphy is based on Chinese characters, involving language, literature, history, aesthetics and other aspects. It is the same as music and art. Guiding students from the perspective of interest and knowledge can make them increase a lot of knowledge and achieve the effect of paying equal attention to knowledge and skills. The process of exploring beauty with practice, understanding beauty with heart and creating beauty with both hands. The strokes of Chinese characters are themselves beautiful shapes. Lu Xun said: "China's calligraphy art is the pearl of the East. This is not a poem, but it has poetic charm. It is not a painting, but it is beautiful. It's not a dance, but it has a rhythm. It is not a song, but it has a singing melody. " He also said: "Chinese characters have three beauties, that is, the beauty of meaning is the beauty of feeling, the beauty of sound is the beauty of feeling ears, and the beauty of form is the beauty of feeling eyes." Therefore, writing teaching is an effective means of aesthetic education. As the saying goes, "everyone loves beauty." Beauty and ugliness are innate, but the beauty of calligraphy can be obtained through hard work. Words are another tool for people. With the development of society and the improvement of people's living standards, people are pursuing a high-quality life.

Nowadays, people like to hang a painting and calligraphy at home to add a little book fragrance, which is not only a decoration, but also a personal taste and a beautiful enjoyment. During the Spring Festival, I was not satisfied with buying printed matter, but hoped to get Mo Bao's calligraphy. This is precisely because calligraphy is not only the pursuit of aesthetic enjoyment, but also an aesthetic orientation. At present, most families in China are only children, and some families have poor self-care ability and are relatively withdrawn. One of the good ways to adjust psychological quality and standardize behavior is to practice calligraphy, which can make students enter a relatively static state. Today's students are not timid, but too careless, not serious and not attentive. Practicing calligraphy requires all your heart and soul, and over time, you can develop a good habit of being rigorous and serious. Facts have proved that if you want to write well, you must be calm, have a correct posture and persevere. What students lack most is tenacity and endurance, which can be obtained through writing practice one stroke at a time, thus correcting the shortcomings of carelessness and carelessness, thus forming a good habit of perseverance, dedication, patience and meticulousness, and not being afraid of difficulties.

Calligraphy is a unique art in China with a long history and is the pride of the Chinese nation. Let students feel the artistic charm of ancient culture, thus stimulating students' determination and confidence to inherit and carry forward national traditions. Writing can not only inspire intelligence, but also has a close relationship with the study of various subjects. Writing is one of the foundations of quality education. In strengthening the construction of spiritual civilization, writing is to write about self-cultivation, temperament, style and realm. Students who write Chinese characters well benefit others and themselves, so they should strengthen writing education and improve their own quality.

Two: how to write well.

Practicing calligraphy is the exercise of thinking activities and sensory organs, and it is a special skill formed with eyes, brain and hands. It never attends meetings, relying on others to lead the way or explore by itself. From meeting to getting familiar, you must go through repeated writing training. Under the guidance of scientific practice methods, gradual improvement in repeated writing training is the road to success in learning writing, which is particularly important for those who practice writing. People realize the importance of writing, and after they have the desire to practice calligraphy, they should make plans, choose practice methods and practice step by step according to the requirements of practicing calligraphy. This kind of psychological activity, which consciously determines the purpose, dominates and regulates one's actions, and overcomes difficulties to achieve the expected purpose, is the process of tempering the will. It is not easy to practice good handwriting. As the saying goes, "write a word for a hundred days." Practicing calligraphy should go through a process of repeated training, gradual improvement and formation of writing skills. In this process, you will feel bored, the practice time is difficult to guarantee, and the effect is not obvious. At this time, if there is no good will to practice calligraphy, there will be a phenomenon of abandoning the pen and not practicing. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the exercise of the will quality of practicing Chinese characters, overcome the difficulties encountered in the practice process with patience, perseverance and confidence, and take time out of your busy schedule to persevere. It is necessary to make long plans and short arrangements, seek quality instead of quantity, and write and practice every day. If you can write two or three words every day, you can practice more than two most commonly used words in two years. In a word, we should make progress slowly and don't be discouraged, and our achievements are obviously not worthy of pride. As long as we don't stop and practice hard, we will eventually reach our ideal destination.

Step by step is a universal principle for people to learn scientific and cultural knowledge. This principle requires learning according to the logical system of disciplines and the development order of human cognitive ability, and gradually and systematically mastering basic knowledge and skills. This principle is determined by the strict logical system of subject knowledge itself, and it is also the objective requirement of people's understanding and ability development from shallow to deep, from easy to difficult, and there is an "order" to follow. The structure of Chinese characters is a logical system from simple to complex, with strokes as the smallest unit. Practice writing should follow this systematic order and practice step by step. However, emphasizing step by step is not the only order. Because the relationship between strokes, radicals and structures of Chinese characters is interrelated and influential. For example, the strokes of Chinese characters and the structure of Chinese characters, in order, should practice the strokes first, and then practice the structure, because the strokes are the basis of the structure. However, when practicing strokes, it is not enough to practice strokes alone, but also with the structure of words, because the same stroke has different forms of expression in different word structures. Only by combining strokes with the structure of specific words can we gradually write qualified strokes. At the same time, in the process of practice, we should also determine the focus and difficulty of practice according to the content of practice. Don't divide the time evenly, don't be greedy for more, be down-to-earth, step by step, and work hard on difficult words and contents, so as to master the essentials of writing, write well, and achieve the law of practicing calligraphy, that is to say, practicing calligraphy should conform to the law, enter from the law, and get out from the law. In addition to the above-mentioned step by step, we should pay special attention to the word "serious" when practicing calligraphy. To practice calligraphy, we must first be calm and enter a quiet world. Do it: calm down and write slowly, read posts and patterns, write first, one by one, and write better than the other. Beginners should master the structure and size of Chinese characters, practice on paper with grids, and make full use of grids to understand and master the structural characteristics and types of square Chinese characters. The way to practice Chinese characters should be copying and copying, and gradually master the writing of Chinese characters in the process of copying.

The experience of learning books and practicing calligraphy in ancient and modern times proves that copying copybooks is the only way and an effective method. Copying is to put the copybook under transparent calligraphy paper and draw it with strokes according to the words appearing on the copybook. The handwriting required to be described cannot exceed the stroke trajectory of the words on the copybook. If copying a brush copybook, the strokes described should follow the center line of the strokes on the copybook; If you copy a pen copybook, the strokes described should be exactly the same as those of the words on the copybook. In this way, over time, you can learn the line trace and font structure of the words on the copybook. Sticking is to put the copybook next to the calligraphy paper. According to the calligraphy and painting "gourd" on the copybook, the strokes are required to be similar, and attention should be paid to the changes of thickness, rhythm and thickness. In this way, over time, you can learn the meaning of the words in the copybook. Because it is difficult to copy a book, you should copy it first. Because affinity and imitation are two complementary things.

In the process of copying copybooks, we should also pay attention to the following issues:

First, you are single-minded first, and then knowledgeable. Those who have just started practicing calligraphy should concentrate on practicing after choosing the copybook. They shouldn't change copybooks at will. This is because each copybook has its own characteristics and system. Write this today, write that tomorrow, and you can't write the last one. Only when one copybook is done and written can other copybooks learn from others.

Second, reading copybooks carefully is the premise of copying copybooks. Reading posts is like reading a book, in order to know the truth, not just reading or copying books. Only by reading and reading carefully can you be impressed, write like it, and remember it well. For the words on the copybook, how to write strokes, how to arrange structures, and how to arrange rules. Everyone should carefully ponder and find out the rules, so as to write interesting and vivid.

Third, we should pay attention to the effect of practicing calligraphy. In the process of copying copybooks, don't blindly pursue copying more and faster, but pay attention to the actual effect of copying, so that once you write, you will make progress and once you copy, you will gain. Only by concentrating on the war of annihilation and copying difficult words repeatedly can we achieve tangible gains and make continuous progress.

Fourth, we should pay attention to mastering the law. In the process of copying, don't stop at understanding and practicing each specific word, but pay attention to summing up the differences and connections between words, so as to understand and master the similarities in writing a class of words, so as to get twice the result with half the effort. The progress of practicing Chinese characters can be greatly improved in this way. This law can be summed up through our own copying practice, and we can also learn from the experience summed up by others. Novice writers should learn from others' experience, so as to avoid detours and save time. In fact, this requires people to practice calligraphy. They should read some books or listen to some lectures on calligraphy techniques, first understand the truth, practice under the guidance of the law, experience the law in practice, and then use the law to better guide practice and consolidate and improve writing skills.
