For family members, when I was in middle school and high school, parents and teachers repeatedly asked me to write good handwriting, because this would get higher marks on the test paper, so I would spend time practicing calligraphy.
But after working, I have very few opportunities to write. Occasionally I need to sign my name and fill out a form. It doesn't seem to matter if my handwriting is ugly. At most, I feel a little embarrassed.
Practicing calligraphy seems a bit understated compared to things that are more useful and easier to demonstrate, such as learning English, learning musical instruments, and learning professional skills.
However, one user’s answer to this question moved me very much——
Without being afraid of being hypocritical, it is really easy to get pleasure from writing compared to the hardships of life.
Feel the touch of the pen crossing the paper, and watch the ink slowly spread out on the paper. Gradually, you will feel that the complicated and complicated things in the world are getting away from you, everything is silent, and time flows quietly.
This is the joy that comes naturally from being immersed in one thing and concentrating on a skill.
In this era of information overload and anxiety everywhere, it is so rare to be able to immerse yourself in one thing quietly for a while.
Practicing calligraphy can be said to be the most cost-effective way to combat impetuosity and anxiety. Just a piece of paper and a pen are enough.
This is the case with the goddess Brigitte Lin.
She once went through a trough period, plagued by insomnia and anxiety, which made her physically and mentally exhausted. By chance, she became obsessed with writing. She would write and draw half an hour before going to bed every day to help herself relax and relieve the anxiety of the day.
Later, she kept the habit of writing. Not only did she develop beautiful calligraphy, but she also published books.
Brigitte Lin once said in a media interview: "Writing has the power to make people feel at ease."
Brigitte Lin's calligraphy works
In the old days, when people wrote letters, they used to start with "Seeing his words is like meeting him", which means that seeing his words is like seeing him in person.
A person's temperament, mood and cultivation are all revealed in his handwriting.
If you persist for a long time, you will be able to write well and gradually improve your temperament and mood.
Practicing calligraphy also cultivates one’s character
While practicing calligraphy and reciting poems, you can not only hone your writing skills, but also cultivate your temperament in ancient rhymes.
Those who can calm down and write seriously will do well in anything they do.
I have always envied people who write well.
It’s not because of the immediate benefits and rewards that can be gained from beautiful handwriting.
It's because people who write well always have a calm, focused, and cultivated quality about them.
In this impetuous, anxious and noisy era, this quality is too precious.
In the new year, all family members can try to insist on writing every day. I believe that by the end of the year, there will be different changes.
