A What are the steps to write a character
B Why does the grandpa like calligraphy
When I was a kid, I watched my grandpa write Chinese characters. I learned about the "Four Treasures of Study—paper, brush, ink stick and ink slab". He always began by laying a piece of paper on the desk and using the ink stick to grind ink in the ink slab. He directed me to take a brush and immerse it with enough ink. Then he grabbed my hands to teach me how to do it properly.
"Why do you like calligraphy " I once asked my grandpa.
"I like the beauty of calligraphy. It lies in its balance, harmony, and rhythm. Chinese characters are considered to be a source of great beauty. Each character has a distinct shape and form, which calligraphers can use to create amazing works of art," said my grandpa.
"The art of calligraphy mixes writing the characters beautifully with
emotions and feelings into each stroke. When we write Chinese characters, we need to carefully control the pressure, speed, and angle of the brush," my grandpa added.
Now I am really into Chinese calligraphy. I have read many stories about famous calligraphers, like Wang Xizhi, Huai Su and Yan Zhenqing. I am learning to appreciate their beautiful, impressive, and artistic works.
As a traditional art, calligraphy has the same position as painting in the history of Chinese art. My grandpa always says, "Every Chinese person should learn calligraphy. Through it, we can better understand our traditional culture."
