Then I think that learning calligraphy should first cultivate children's interest in calligraphy and cultivate children's aesthetic appreciation of fonts, rather than forcing children to practice calligraphy. I just found two good books in Yanjiyou Bookstore in Chengdu these days and recommend them to you. Suitable for children and adults.
The first book "Bai Yu Jie Zi"
This book was written by Mr. Liushahe. Who is Liushahe? Liushahe, poet, editor and scholar. Originally named Yu Xuntan, a native of Jintang, Sichuan.
This book was published by scanning and photocopying the old gentleman's manuscript. In fact, I thought it was hand-painted at first sight. The illustrations of ancient Chinese characters in the manuscript are embedded in relevant texts, which not only fully, accurately and clearly express the old gentleman's exploration of the world of words, but also make readers not have to take their eyes off the text. The words in the manuscript are all written in soft pen. I think this is an interesting book, which is a good learning material for Chinese characters and can cultivate children's interest in Chinese characters and calligraphy.
The second book "Chinese Character Tree"
I have heard many friends recommend this book before. The author of this book is Liao, who graduated from the Department of Mechanical and Electrical Engineering of Taiwan Province Provincial University and is a typical science and engineering person. It is hard to imagine that a science student would be so interested in "philology". By studying the logical relationship between characters and combining the ability of computer assembly and sorting, the author systematically sorts out the components of Chinese characters, and skillfully takes the radicals of Chinese characters as one of the components of Chinese characters, sorting them out and integrating them into a "Chinese character tree diagram", which can arouse children's curiosity and let them explore more fun in Chinese characters under the guidance of the author.
This book has six volumes.
Chinese Character Tree 1: China people who live in Chinese characters.
Chinese character tree 2: Chinese character map of human body
Chinese Character Tree 3: The Beauty of Chinese Characters in Plants
Chinese character tree 4: the beauty of animals in Chinese characters
Chinese Character Tree 5: Buildings and Containers in Chinese Character Tree
Chinese Character Tree 6: Five Thousand Years Sword Shadow
The above two books are available in physical bookstores and online stores, and parents can buy them according to their children's needs.
When you learn calligraphy, you learn to persist. Success is not achieved overnight, but accumulated over time.
