Chapter 10: Tips for Practicing Chinese Characters
Many years later, Yi Yang struggled at the bottom of the big city, and met all kinds of people at the bottom.Those urbanites who are also at the bottom look down on rural people.

Probably, they have no idea what the real countryside is like.

In fact, Yi Yang didn't understand it before.

Today's him can be regarded as a different kind of comeback.

If it weren't for his father who wanted to work hard to get out of the world, their family would have been farmers for generations until he was here.

Yi Yang has also gained a deeper understanding of the real countryside in the past few days.

In the early morning, the rooster crows on time, and the dew drops naturally stay on the leaves of the small apple tree in the courtyard dam. The air we breathe is full of the fragrance of soil.It's so beautiful that people want to live here forever.

Only... Strange!
The real countryside, in addition to those mentioned above, is more tired, dirty and poor, and the income is low.Yi San and Zhao Jinhua came back every day with black mud under their nails, and once they washed their feet, the water in the basin turned into Yellow River water.Every night the dog would bark in the middle of the night, making people panic.

Yi Chuan understood why his father tried his best to escape from this land, and why his second uncle and Zhao Jinhua also tried their best to let Yi Chuan escape from here.

But life here is pure and true.

There is no game hall, no computer, and it is really suitable for studying if you don't go to work in the fields during the day.

Nothing worldly bothers you.

Yi Yang lived here for a week soon.

He picked up the elementary school textbook again, read the above text word by word, and understood the knowledge of elementary school mathematics over and over again.Even if someone occasionally came to Yi San's house to notice his behavior and show a weird expression, it didn't affect him at all.

However, Yi Yang also knew that this was not enough.

He just consolidated his elementary school knowledge.But primary school grades are deceptive. Many parents take primary school grades very seriously, but it is completely unnecessary.

A person's ability to learn increases with age.

If elementary school students are always unable to respond to the train of thought of a certain question, it may be that they are just a little behind in age.

It only took Yi Yang a few days to completely re-master all the knowledge points of elementary school.For adults, it is really a very simple thing to relearn the cultural knowledge of elementary school.

After all, there is no English test in elementary school in small counties.

As for those texts, Yi Yang completely positioned himself as a beginner and recited them seriously.

One after another.

Even with Yi Chuan, he also recited a lot of texts that he hadn't learned yet.

Yi Yang said: "When you go back to school and the teacher assigns you memorized homework, you can proudly tell him that you have already memorized it."

Immediately, Yi Chuan's eyes brightened, and he had already imagined the scene that everyone was looking forward to.

Definitely will be commended.

Yi Chuan thought for a while and said, "Brother, thank you!"

Yi Yang touched Yi Chuan's head.

……

On this day, it began to rain outside the window, and it lasted for several days.

Fortunately, Yi San and his family have already picked all the prickly ash peppers, dried them in the sun and put them in bags. Now they just wait for the buyers to pick them up.

These days, it's rare to be free.

Yi Yang's second grandfather came to stay at Yi San's house.

Yi Yang's second grandfather is a rigid old man, a native farmer, but he can write well.Every year during the Chinese New Year, there is an endless stream of people asking him to help write Spring Festival couplets.

Later, he simply went to the county town to set up a stall every time before the Spring Festival, and helped people write Spring Festival couplets. He charged five yuan for a copy, and he could earn hundreds of dollars a day.

After coming to Yisan's house, the second grandpa spent every afternoon in the main room, grinding ink, laying out rice paper, and writing patiently all afternoon.

Yi Yangli sat by the side and watched quietly.

Because of the rain, Yi Chuan couldn't go out to play, so he ran wildly in the hall.

Yi Chuan ran around, running around, and was beaten up.

It was like this for several days.

Yi Yang just watched quietly, while Second Grandpa didn't talk much, and just casually glanced at Yi Yang without communicating.

keep writing.

Finally, after watching the second grandfather write for several days, the heavy rain stopped and the sky was as blue as a wash, and the second grandfather said, "Want to learn? I'll teach you."

Yi Yang couldn't help thinking of the lines in Zhou Xingchi's movie, and smiled.

"it is good."

When holding the brush, Yi Yang suddenly felt extremely awkward.He observed the second grandfather's writing, and always felt that the nib was more than capable.

Yi Yang feels that the word "handle with ease" is used to describe the state of writing calligraphy.

In the second grandfather's hand, the tip of the brush was like an extension of his body. If he wanted it to be soft, it would be flexible, and if he wanted it to be hard, he would be vigorous.

Yi Yang held the brush by himself, but it was not the same thing at all.

"This brush is like a brush in my hand."

Yi Yang looked at Second Grandpa helplessly.

The second grandpa smiled slightly, "I have practiced calligraphy for decades, and the age of my characters is older than your second uncle's! Only such a small achievement, if you can write very well as soon as you hold the pen, how shameful I am? "

As he said that, the second grandfather took the pen and wrote a few strokes on the rice paper: horizontal strokes, vertical strokes.

The second grandpa said: "Practicing calligraphy is not something that happens overnight. If you want to practice, you must calm down and practice hard from now on. Let me tell you about the most important experience I realized, and you remember it."

Yi Yang nodded seriously.

"If you want to practice calligraphy well, copying is the least efficient way. Lining and copying have to be discussed separately. Lin means copying, copying means writing through. Copying is even less efficient than copying."

Copying is the most common way for ordinary people to practice calligraphy, but it was actually worthless by the second grandpa.Yi Yang was slightly taken aback: "Then what should I do?"

The second grandpa said: "The best way to practice calligraphy is not to look at the ready-made characters and write according to that character, but to watch a person who writes a character well and watch the process of writing the character. He writes it once, and you follow it." It’s the best way to write it down.”

Yi Yang blinked.

The second grandfather laughed again: "Simply put, it is to watch other people write more, and this kind of progress is the fastest."

After finishing speaking, the second grandfather continued to write.

Yi Yang was silent beside him for a long time, trying to understand what Second Grandpa said.

Whether you use a copybook or write according to the textbook, what you see is a finished character.But how did this character get written like this? If there is no guidance from someone, it may not be possible to write it like that after writing it [-] times.

It's actually quite understandable.

When a chef is learning a dish, he only needs to watch and taste a finished dish, no matter how talented he is, it is difficult for him to learn how to make that dish.Although writing is more intuitive than cooking, this principle can also be applied.

For example, a dot on a copybook, if you don’t look at how it is written, you will never be able to figure out how the top is shallow and the bottom is thick.

How to stop the pen, how to return the pen, where are the key points of the frame structure... These problems will never be understood by reading the copybook.

Therefore, reading the explanation of the text or reading the ready-made characters a hundred times is not as good as watching a good-looking person write it once.

Yi Yang felt that a door to a new world had been opened to him.

Yi Yang knew that it was impossible for him to improve his calligraphy by leaps and bounds just because he had read Second Grandpa's calligraphy for a few days, but what Second Grandpa said made him determine the way to practice calligraphy.

Yi Yang decided that when school starts, he must find a deskmate who can write well, and watch him write every day to improve himself.
