How to write the pen horizontally and vertically?

The teacher asked that the writing should be "horizontal and vertical", which meant "horizontal and vertical". Many parents and teachers will tell their children this when writing. However, looking at the works of calligraphers in past dynasties, they are not really "horizontal and vertical", but full of changes in the horizontal direction, with low left and high right, and slightly inclined. Even if there are many horizontal paintings of the same word, the inclination and thickness of each horizontal will change.

Long horizontal stroke: when you start to stroke, stroke gently to the right, and then stroke down when you close the pen. The whole stroke is in the form of low left and high right. Look down.

Short horizontal stroke: write lightly, start without stopping, stroke to the right from light to heavy, stop in the middle of long horizontal stroke, and slightly lift the stroke to the right.

In fact, for beginners, it is very important to write neatly, especially in the first and second grades. The teacher requires "horizontal and vertical", which actually requires children to write neatly and develop good writing habits. Writing words neatly can encourage children to practice basic strokes and help them master the overall structure of words. Then over time, the fonts can be carefully carved, which can avoid scribbling and illegibility.

Let's look at this word in the picture. We can still recognize the first few words, but when we write, it changes its appearance at will. This word should have everything, let alone practice it well. Pupils learn Chinese characters mostly from regular script, which is fluent with a pen, so as to be "horizontal and vertical", that is, the characters are written neatly and the center of gravity is stable. It's not that the teacher hasn't taught you to click, press, skim and lift, but there are too many horizontal and vertical strokes, and the summary is extremely concise and easy to remember.

Another important reason is the exam. Because writing is very important in the Chinese exam, especially composition writing, which requires fonts, neatly written compositions can enter the first category, while scribbled compositions can easily enter the fourth category. It can be seen that writing will still have an indirect impact on exam results.

However, due to the tight time and heavy examination tasks, many students have no time to improve their fonts by practicing calligraphy. What else can they do? The simplest seven-word motto is-"horizontal and vertical, leaning towards the middle"! It was put forward by a teacher who corrected at least 10 thousand compositions in the examination room. It is said that the average Chinese score in her class is above 1.20, and the average composition score is above 50. She also set a record of improving students' grades from 80 to 65,438+0.65,438+0.5 in three months. Let's briefly explain these seven words:

The basic requirement of the font in the examination room is neatness (legibility and neatness). Cleanliness here and the requirements of calligraphy are two different things. Calligraphy can be written at will, even if it is a weed in Huai Su, Zhang Xu, it is also a treasure in art. In the exam, handing in such a composition is either "exceptional admission" like Oracle Bone Inscriptions candidates, or the teacher in the examination room doesn't know what you wrote, so it is classified as "zero composition". The probability of exceptional admission is very small, and the possibility of writing in lower grades is even greater.

Therefore, for students who are not good at calligraphy and can't "block letters", it is best to use "block letters". Although block letters are not as smooth as running scripts, the overall feeling is not too bad. Of course, if you are proficient in calligraphy, it will be better if you make a breakthrough and pursue the beauty of calligraphy on the basis of ensuring neatness and readability! We often say that "horizontal and vertical" and "even spacing" are actually the minimum requirements for neat writing. Students who have a certain research on calligraphy can pursue changes in font structure, spacing and density.

Another example is Ou Yangxun, the "four masters of regular script". In his masterpiece Jiucheng Palace, the word "nine" is deliberately written obliquely, which looks like a falling stone. However, this can only be done after you have a certain knowledge of calligraphy. People who can't "walk" can't "run" and "fly"
