What are the benefits of practicing calligraphy in your spare time?
1. Relieve stress and regulate emotions
In contemporary society, work pressure is high and it is easy to produce depressive emotions in our hearts. We look for ways to relieve stress. Calligraphy is the most healthy of all methods. When the mood is at a low point, a big stroke of the pen is used, and when the mind is impetuous, the paper is written in small regular script. Stroke by stroke, it allows the mind to settle and the soul to calm down. The worries and negative emotions at work gradually dissipate in the pen tip that combines strength and softness.
2. Cultivate one’s moral character, regulate one’s mind and calm one’s energy
From ancient times to the present, why do most calligraphers live long lives? Because practicing calligraphy cultivates the soul and is very helpful for optimizing the body and mind. By practicing calligraphy, we can make our body comfortable and make us happy. Over time, your temperament in front of colleagues and your work appearance will be improved.
3. Improve self-confidence and affirm yourself
We think back to our friends or colleagues. Those who can write well are mostly talented and are often praised as "talented men" and "talented women". Such talents can be easily realized through calligraphy. You can also write good handwriting, gain an additional skill and talent, and gain more confidence. In this way, you will be more comfortable getting along with your boss, hold your head high in front of your colleagues, and even become an idol to those around you!
4. Improve literacy and nourish feelings
Practicing calligraphy is a practice of noble classical culture. In the process, you also widely absorb cultural nutrients such as classical poetry, literature, history, aesthetics, etc., improve your cultural literacy, and nourish your heart with the essence of thousands of years of Chinese culture.
5. Affordable, convenient and beautiful
Costs should also be considered in spare time life. No wonder Liang Qichao said long ago: "Calligraphy is the most beautiful and convenient entertainment tool." For contemporary people, the main costs are money and time, and practicing calligraphy can be completed in fragmented time. You can write as soon as you pick up the pen and stop whenever you want. As for the cost, it is even lower. It only takes one trip to the bar. The cost is enough to cover the cost of your calligraphy equipment for half a year. Even around us, there are many cases of people with good understanding who can get "extra money" by practicing calligraphy to a certain level.
Therefore, 15CiLian.com sincerely recommends that you practice calligraphy in your spare time.
