Grandpa's description of Chinese calligraphy

This winter vacation, I had a more interesting time! Every time I go to grandpa's house, grandpa will teach me to practice calligraphy. Grandpa's brushwork is so smooth that I can't get enough of it.

Grandpa said it is very important to practice calligraphy and patience, so you should be serious. If you can't practice well, it's no use practicing it many times. I will always remember what my grandfather taught me.

I practice stroke by stroke, and I write whatever my grandfather writes. When I was practicing calligraphy, I became my grandfather's "imitation machine". Grandpa writes neatly and beautifully. I don't know anything because I just practiced calligraphy, but grandpa has always encouraged me and taught me patiently.

Sometimes I lose my temper when I practice calligraphy. Once, I practiced with my grandfather. Grandpa practiced for two hours, and I practiced for two hours. Because of the long time, I was impatient. I think, after practicing for so many days, I still can't write grandpa's good handwriting ... thinking about it, I got angry, threw the brush away and said, "Hum, I don't practice, and it doesn't work after practicing for so long!" I sat down on the sofa.

Hearing this, Grandpa came up to me with a smile and said, "How can you write a good hand if you don't practice your handwriting quietly?" Practicing calligraphy requires meditation. Only when you calm down can you make progress, understand? "After hearing this, I nodded thoughtfully ... In the days when my grandfather taught me to practice calligraphy, I learned a lot and realized some truth: to do one thing, we should not only be calm, but also have patience and perseverance.
