Chapter 20 of the Year of Tranquility

When I was in the fourth grade of elementary school, there was a girl in the class, her family was from the county seat, her father was the leader of a hospital in the city, and she and her sister followed her father to school in the city. 

Her name is green, she has white skin, single eyelids, and her eyes are very bright, like the stars in the night, and she always has short ear-length hair, and her hair is thick and black. She always gives Ya a very clean and neat feeling, her books are always neatly placed on the desk, just like the clothes she wears, which are always neat and clean. Her homework is clean and tidy, and every stroke gives a sense of meticulousness. The braces she wrote were like the printed font in a book, and Ya was very envious, so she practiced them over and over again until she also wrote like a green one. 

Qing's brush writing is very good, and the horizontal and vertical skimming is very charming, Ya asked her how she could write such a good brush handwriting? She said that her father usually instructed her to write calligraphy. 

Ya was envious in her heart, and every day after school, she asked Qingjiao to write calligraphy by herself. Ya held the key on the classroom door, because her home was very close to the school, and she was the class leader and the captain of the school's Young Pioneers, and the teacher trusted her very much, so she took the key to open and close the door. Qing and Ya's home is in the same direction, and Qing always waits for Ya to come home together after school.

Sunrise over the sea rendition in the sky

The sea and the sky blend and the beauty of the vastness

The sun is rising

The king of the golden chariots

All things are peaceful

Over the mountains, across the land, across the rivers

In the evening

Finally loosened the skeleton

Lie comfortably in the sea of clouds

The golden light spreads the flowing clouds

The earth closed its heavy eyes

The silence darkened the splendour

A sea of clouds swells with molten gold flows

A lake where white clouds turn like mirrors

A dance trick that reflects the dark clouds

The golden light penetrated the veil of the dark clouds

Dark clouds swirled and waves widened the sea

A huge song and dance

Interpretation in the afterglow of the setting sun

……

The evening is gorgeously bustling, and it is like a lively bazaar opening its mouth and striking a gong. It is like a blooming colorful flower, splashing the beauty with love. Everything in the world can be reproduced in the dusk sky: the magnificent sea, the majestic and steep mountains, the sea of flames and molten fire, the fierce and dim scene of the game, the wonder of the mirage, the scene of the dragon and the tiger fighting, the elegance of Dunhuang flying in the sky, the warm lovers, and the spectacular ...... of flying birds in the sky Countless images, countless shots flashed in the sky. You quietly railing and looking into the sky, taking in the wonders of the world.

The afterglow of dusk stained the western sky red, and Qing and another female classmate close to home kicked shuttlecocks around the campus, laughing and kicking, beads of sweat on their foreheads glistening in the sun.

The students on duty went back after cleaning the classroom, but Ya had to wipe the table again and sweep the unclean places again. She leads the class cadres to check the health and discipline of each class every morning, and she hopes that her class can win the "Excellent Class" award.

Ya likes to be in school. Ya, who has excellent grades, hopes that she will excel in all subjects, and Qing's grades are also excellent, but her exam scores are always below Ya.

Ya memorized almost every class, but her calligraphy class was far behind. Ya hopes that she will learn the strengths of each of her classmates and become her own. She not only learns the excellence of people in reality, but also imitates the behavior of the heroes in the book. For example, "the three watches are lit and the five watches are the time when the boys are studying", "the chickens are dancing", "the head is cantilevered and the cone is piercing", she reads and studies until late, and when she is sleepy, she pinchs her thighs and pulls her ears. Throughout her student days, Ya didn't seem to remember if she got up after six o'clock, and in middle school, she got up at four or five o'clock to endorse the book. It's just that Ya seems to be born with a mind that is not suitable for studying science. Her liberal arts grades were always at the top of her grade, while the sciences, which poured a lot of her energy into a lot of time, were only average, which hit her hard. only said, "As long as the kung fu is deep, the iron pestle is sharpened into an embroidery needle", why did she put much more energy into science than liberal arts, but her grades could not always be the best. Especially when she was in middle school, she gave her evenings and Sundays to science. She made the science book so that she knew which page each question was, but she could change the question type, and she frowned.

Years later, Ya recalled that since she was in elementary school, she had been following the example of the ancients and had not achieved the results she should have achieved in her studies. Father, mother, and teachers all said that her brain was "dead, and she couldn't turn around", if she was born with a smart brain, with her learning spirit of "three more lights and five more chickens" and "smelling the chickens and dancing", she should be a student in the juvenile science class, it seems that a teacher said that she was like this. At that time, it was junior high school, and there was a boy in the class, who was usually so playful, but every time he took the exam, his science score was almost full score, and the homeroom teacher at that time sent such an emotion.

Ya and Qing are almost inseparable at school. But at the end of class, Qing and the other classmates kicked the shuttlecock and sandbags, and had a lot of fun, but Ya sat in the classroom and continued to study, she didn't want to waste ten minutes between classes. After school in the evening, Ya Rang Qingxian taught her to write calligraphy strokes, because she believed that Chinese characters are made up of strokes, and when the strokes are written, the characters will be written. Then Ya practiced calligraphy alone, and Qing kicked shuttlecock with another girl.

She has read many stories of calligraphers, and she hopes that she will become a calligrapher in the future. When she immersed herself in calligraphy, her heart was so still, her attention was so concentrated. In the years that followed, when she was upset, she would sit in front of the bookcase, pick up a brush, dip it in ink, and write ancient poems. The wonderful artistic conception of ancient poems and the full concentration when writing calligraphy made her quickly enter a clear and quiet environment.

As she grew up, she saw some systematic theories about calligraphy and felt that practicing calligraphy was extremely beneficial. Although computers have now entered people's lives overwhelmingly, the art of calligraphy will never be replaced, it will inevitably have a long history in China and the world, and it will develop robustly......

Calligraphy is a unique art form in the world and the quintessence of China. 

The charm of Chinese calligraphy is that it evolved from ancient hieroglyphs, which is the product of people's life practices, which are both vivid and emotional. With the development of the times, the society has entered the computer age, calligraphy has gradually evolved into the art of pure lines, becoming a higher art form, calligraphy lines are ever-changing, can summarize and abstract a variety of life aesthetic experience, in the world of calligraphy art you can see the flow of music, the aura of nature, as well as heroic and graceful, mind and spirit, you can see the tenderness of the small bridge and flowing water, but also can experience the majestic momentum of the sea swallowing the sky and the earth! "You see, how vividly the theorists of calligraphy summarize the beauty of the art of calligraphy!

Therefore, a high-quality calligraphy work will bring you different aesthetic experience and spiritual enjoyment, when you appreciate the beauty of calligraphy, taste the beauty of calligraphy, intoxicated, the soul will be naturally purified, the elements of calligraphy art beauty will imperceptibly soothe your body and mind, so as to play a different role in your physical and mental health. This is the beauty of the art of calligraphy. 

The effect of the beauty of calligraphy art is the physiotherapy and health care effect on the human body! - Historical facts have proved that the beauty of calligraphy art does play a certain role in people's health and longevity. Zhang Haowen once made statistics and found that most of the calligraphers from ancient times to the present day are long-lived. From the Han Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty, in this era when the average life expectancy of human beings was 25 years old ~ 40 years old, the average life expectancy of famous calligraphers was about 80 years old, for example, Liu Gongquan in the Tang Dynasty was 87 years old, Ouyang Xun was 84 years old, and Yu Shinan was 80 years old; Yang Weizhen was 74 years old, Wen Zhengming was 89 years old, Liang Tongshu was 92 years old, Weng Tonghe was 85 years old, and He Shaoji was 74 years old...... From the end of the Qing Dynasty to the founding of New China, the average age of human beings at that time was 40~62 years old, and the average life expectancy of famous calligraphers was 88 years old; In modern and contemporary times, the average life expectancy of famous calligraphers has exceeded 90 years.

Calligraphy has the effect of physiotherapy and health care, which is the consensus of many calligraphers. Writing calligraphy is an aerobic exercise. Guangzhou calligrapher Zhang Haowen recently summarized the principles of Chinese calligraphy for health preservation. He said that when practicing calligraphy, we must eliminate distracting thoughts, concentrate and calm down, forget everything and ourselves, and organically convey dot painting into the structure of characters through scientific fingering, arm method, wrist method, and body method. 

The state of writing will activate the nerve cells of the brain, so that the blood and qi of the whole body are smooth, and the muscles of the arms and waist are twisted and exercised to achieve the effect of strengthening the body.

Therefore, practicing words and writing every day, constantly changing movements and flexibly using fingers, wrists, elbows, shoulders, body, etc., is actually carrying out a gentle and powerful aerobic fitness exercise. The healing effects of calligraphy have been confirmed in the field of Chinese and Western medicine. Professor Gao Shangren of the University of Hong Kong once conducted experiments and found that when people write calligraphy, "the heart beats more slowly and regularly than when they are usually at rest". The writer's mind enters a state of continuous quiet, which has a positive regulating effect on blood pressure. 

When Ya was in elementary school and junior high school, she often wrote calligraphy in newspapers and homework books, and she enjoyed the calm and soothing state of writing.

From the perspective of psychological adjustment, when people are in a state of emotional excitement, if they can sit down and write hundreds of words in regular script, concentrate on dot painting one stroke at a time, and write slowly, they will soon feel emotionally stable, calm and peaceful; When you feel depressed and depressed, if you can practice Xingshu and cursive, and sway freely until you are hearty and your emotions are vented, your spirit will be doubled and your spirit will be high. Calligraphy has the effect of soothing the mood and making people feel calm and happy. Ya deeply understands this.

Calligraphy artists in modern society have condensed and summarized the various effects and aesthetics of calligraphy, are we deeply inspired?
