I am reborn and just want to concentrate on my studies

Chapter 10 Tips for practicing calligraphy

Many years later, Yi Yang struggled at the bottom of the big city and met all kinds of people from 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, he can be regarded as a different kind of return.

If his father hadn't worked hard to make a career, his family would have been farmers for generations.

Yi Yang has also gained a deeper understanding of the real countryside these days.

In the early morning, the chickens crow on time, and the dewdrops always naturally stay on the leaves of the small apple tree in the courtyard. The air you breathe is filled with the fragrance of earth. It's so beautiful that you want to live here forever.

That's... weird!

In addition to the things mentioned above, real rural areas are more tiring, dirty and messy, with low income. Yi San and Zhao Jinhua came back every day with black mud under their fingernails. Once they washed their feet, the water in the basin became Yellow River water. Every night the dog barks most 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 real.

There is no game arcade or computer. If you don't work in the fields during the day, it is really suitable for studying.

No worldly things to disturb.

Yiyang soon lived here for a week.

He picked up the primary school textbook again, read the text above word by word, and understood the knowledge of primary school mathematics over and over again. Even if someone occasionally came to Yi San's house and noticed his behavior and showed strange expressions, it would not affect him at all.

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

He just consolidated the knowledge from elementary school. However, primary school grades are deceptive. Many parents attach great importance to primary school grades, but in fact it is completely unnecessary.

People's learning ability continues to increase with age.

If primary school students are always unable to respond to a certain question, maybe they are just a little older.

It only took Yiyang a few days to completely re-master all the knowledge points in elementary school. For adults, relearning the cultural knowledge of primary school is really a very simple matter.

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

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

Article after article.

Even Yi Chuan memorized many texts that he had not yet learned.

Yi Yang said: "When you go back to school and the teacher assigns homework for you to memorize, you can proudly tell him that you have memorized it a long time ago."

Suddenly, Yi Chuan's eyes brightened, and he could already imagine the scene that attracted everyone's attention.

It will definitely be praised.

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

Yi Yang touched Yi Chuan's head.

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

Fortunately, Yi San's peppercorns have all been picked, dried and bagged. Now they are just waiting for the purchaser to pick up the goods.

It's rare to have any free time these days.

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

Yiyang's second grandfather is an old-fashioned 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, every time before the Spring Festival, he would go to the county town to set up a stall and help people write Spring Festival couplets. He charged five yuan for each copy, and he could earn several hundred in a day.

After arriving at Yi San's house, Grandpa Er would spend the entire afternoon in the main room, studying ink, laying out rice paper, and writing patiently.

Yi Yangli sat aside and watched quietly.

Because of the rain, Yichuan couldn't go out to play, so he ran around and played in the main room.

Yichuan ran around and got beaten up.

It was like this for several days.

Yi Yang just watched quietly, while the second grandfather said little and just glanced at Yi Yang casually without communicating.

Keep writing.

Finally, after watching Second Grandpa’s writing for several days, the heavy rain stopped and the sky turned blue. Then Second Grandpa said, “Want to learn? I’ll teach you.”

Yi Yang couldn't help but think of lines from Stephen Chow's movies and smiled.

"good."

When holding the brush, Yi Yang suddenly felt extremely awkward. He observed his second grandfather's writing and always felt that the pen tip was very easy to use.

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

The tip of the brush in the second grandfather's hand is like an extension of his body. If he wants it to be soft, the hairspring will be flexible, and if he wants it to be hard, it will be vigorous.

Yi Yang held the brush himself, but it was completely different.

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

Yi Yang looked at the second grandfather helplessly.

The second grandfather smiled slightly, "I have practiced calligraphy for decades, and my calligraphy age is older than your second uncle's! You have such a small achievement. If you can write well as soon as you hold the pen, how shameless would I be?" "

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

Grandpa Er said: "Practicing calligraphy is not something that happens overnight. If you are determined to practice, you must calm down and practice hard from now on. I will tell you the most important experience I have learned. Remember it."

Yi Yang nodded seriously.

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

Copying is the most common way for ordinary people to practice calligraphy, but it was actually said to be worthless by the second grandfather. Yi Yang was slightly startled: "What should we do?"

Grandpa Er said: "The best way to practice calligraphy is not to look at ready-made characters and write according to that character, but to watch a person who writes well and watch the process of how he writes the character. He writes it once and you follow it. Just write it down again, this is the best way.”

Yi Yang blinked.

The second grandfather laughed again: "To put it simply, you can make the fastest progress by watching other people write more."

After that, the second grandfather continued to write.

Yi Yang was silent for a long time, thinking about what the second grandfather said.

Whether you use a copybook or write from a textbook yourself, what you see is a finished word. But how to write this character like this? If there is no one to guide you, you may not be able to write it like that even if you write it ten thousand times.

In fact, it is easy to understand.

When a chef learns a dish, just by looking at and tasting the finished dish, no matter how talented he is, it will be 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, if you don't look at how a dot on a copybook is written, you will never be able to figure out how it feels shallow at the top and thick at the bottom.

How to pause a pen, how to return a pen, and where are the key points of the frame structure... These issues can never be understood by looking at copybooks.

Therefore, reading the instructions and ready-made characters a hundred times is not as good as watching someone write it once with good handwriting.

Yi Yang felt like he had been opened to a new world.

Yi Yang knew that his calligraphy would not improve by leaps and bounds just because he had read Second Grandpa's calligraphy for a few days, but Second Grandpa's words made him determined on how to practice calligraphy.

Yi Yang decided that when school starts, he must find a classmate with good handwriting and watch him write every day to improve himself.
