Regarding the meaning of good pen writing, As early as 1962, Mr. Guo Moruo said in his inscription to "People's Education": "To train primary and secondary school students to write well, it is not necessary for everyone to become a calligrapher. The calligraphy must be in compliance with the specifications, relatively straight, clean, and easy to read. It is good to develop a habit like this. It can make people attentive, easy to concentrate their will, and good at caring for others. It is easy to make mistakes if you act hastily, carelessly, and act arbitrarily. " Mr. Shen Yinmo also said: "Practicing calligraphy is not only good for the body, but also develops a sharp and calm mind that is good at observing, considering, and handling affairs.

So, what exactly is the point of writing good pen calligraphy? the author thinks:

We do homework and take notes in class, meetings, and work. If the handwriting is well written, it will not only facilitate our own reading and review, but also facilitate communication among colleagues and the teacher's review.

Over time, the writer's body and mind will be tempered, and his emotions will become peaceful and far-reaching, which will naturally extend his life. This is the fundamental reason why most great calligraphers in the past dynasties lived long lives. Furthermore, writing is the same as practicing Qigong. When practicing Qigong, you should eliminate distracting thoughts and focus on guarding the Dantian; but what about writing? I can't help but eliminate distracting thoughts and focus on the tip of my pen.
