Before Mr. Sun started a new class, he had a homework check. Zhu Pingan could see clearly from outside. Mr. Sun randomly checked a few students and asked them to come forward. Then, he covered the textbook with a piece of paper, revealing one of the words, and asked them to identify them one by one.
Because Zhu Pingjun and his deskmate slept in class yesterday, the teacher checked their homework. As a result, Zhu Pingjun only remembered four words, just as he said at home yesterday, and did not complete the homework. He was spanked four times by Mr. Sun. His deskmate was not much better, remembering one more word than Zhu Pingjun, and was spanked three times.
After spanking their palms, Mr. Sun asked them to return to their tables and began his lecture.
"Yesterday I taught you eight characters from the Thousand Character Classic. Today I will teach you how to write these eight characters." Mr. Sun asked the children to prepare their pens, inkstones, and paper, and began to teach, "To learn calligraphy, you must first learn how to hold a pen."
As Mr. Sun was explaining, he demonstrated, "Today I will teach you the five-finger pen-holding method. The so-called five-finger pen-holding method is to use five fingers together, through pressing, pressing, hooking, pushing, and resisting..."
Calligraphy was Zhu Ping'an's weak point, so he listened very carefully outside.
Mr. Sun carefully explained the concepts of press, pressure, hook, push and resist and demonstrated them twice. After the explanation, Mr. Sun went down to correct the children's mistakes one by one and taught them the correct pen-holding gestures step by step.
After seeing that the children had mastered the technique of holding the pen, Mr. Sun went on to talk about wrist techniques, including pillow wrist, suspended wrist, and suspended elbow. Because the children were beginners, Mr. Sun only focused on the suspended wrist method to them.
"The most important thing in practicing calligraphy is perseverance. You have to practice with your heart. If you practice with your heart, you will naturally be able to write well. Only when your heart is right can your writing be right. The power of brush calligraphy lies in the tip of the pen. When you write, you must have a mixture of hardness and softness, and softness and hardness must be combined to show strength..." Mr. Sun is an experienced and absolutely competent teacher. He combines the calligraphy formulas with his own experience to explain them to his students one by one, and never tires of correcting every mistake made by the children.
This is the difference between self-study and having a teacher. If you learn calligraphy by yourself, you don’t know some of the things you need to pay attention to in writing, and you may go further and further on the wrong path; but if you have a teacher, you won’t take a detour and will be ahead of others from the beginning.
Zhu Ping'an was glad that he came to attend the class and that Mr. Sun was a good teacher.
The children dipped their pens in ink and wrote on the board inside the private school, while Zhu Ping'an dipped his pens in water and wrote on the board outside the private school.
When Zhu Ping'an was practicing calligraphy, he found that writing calligraphy was definitely not an easy task. No matter how he wrote with the brush, it felt awkward in his hand. The brush did not listen to him and was very awkward.
Master Sun just said that the power of writing with a brush is at the tip of the brush. This sentence had a great impact on Zhu Pingan. To practice writing with a brush, you need to transfer the power through the pen holder to the tip of the brush. Understanding is one thing, but practicing is another. Zhu Pingan tried to hold the brush according to Master Sun's five-finger pen holding method, trying to use the power through the pen holder to the tip of the brush, but found it difficult. Zhu Pingan didn't get the point for a while. When he leaned against the door and listened to Master Sun correcting the children one by one, he discovered the secret, that is, to pay attention to the posture of holding the brush, the use of wrist strength, and the height of holding the brush. These factors will affect the writing of brush calligraphy. If the hand holds the pen high, the distance from the power to the tip of the brush is farther, so the words written in this way have a sense of emptiness; if the hand holds the pen low, the distance from the power to the tip of the brush is closer, so the words written in this way are steady and powerful. In addition, Zhu Pingan himself also found that the tightness of holding the brush will also affect the writing of brush calligraphy. In this way, Zhu Ping'an practiced while listening to Master Sun's teachings to the children, and at the same time he explored and summarized on his own, and gradually Zhu Ping'an got into the state.
Zhu Ping'an was much older than the children in the private school, so it was easier for him to understand what Mr. Sun said. While the children in the private school were still struggling with the brush, Zhu Ping'an had already gone from being awkward at first to being awkward and not far from adapting.
Yesterday's naughty boy came to play again today. While giving a lecture, Mr. Sun accidentally saw Zhu Ping'an outside the private school again.
Looking at the chubby little kid pouring water on the stones with a bamboo tube, Old Scholar Sun naturally thought that Zhu Ping'an was just playing and didn't take it seriously at all.
Play if you want, as long as you don't make noise and disturb the students. Mr. Sun took a look and then turned his attention to his students, correcting their mistakes one by one and even teaching them how to write.
The actual situation is that Zhu Pingan poured the water in the bamboo tube into a naturally formed groove in the stone, used it as an inkstone, and then used the brush made by Zhu's father to dip into the water and write on the black wood board. You can't just dip the brush into the bamboo tube directly, because the bamboo tube is the cup for drinking water.
Scholar Sun only saw the scene of Zhu Ping'an pouring water on the stone, and did not see the scene afterwards.
Mr. Sun was teaching in the private school, while Zhu Pingan was attending the class outside. Mr. Sun taught writing for a long time, and then he started teaching the children to read. This time he was not teaching the Thousand Character Classic, but the Three Character Classic.
“When man is born, he is inherently good. Natures are similar, but habits make them different.” Old Scholar Sun led the children to read it nearly ten times before he began to explain its meaning.
After explaining the meaning, Mr. Sun began to lead the students to recognize the characters one by one. Zhu Pingan repeatedly wrote down the traditional Chinese characters of the Three Character Classic outside the private school, trying to convert the simplified characters in his mind into traditional Chinese characters one by one.
After a while, seeing that Mr. Sun wanted to end the get out of class and take a break, Zhu Ping'an packed up his things and walked out of the bamboo forest.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, what if the teacher doesn't like others to take his class for free, or other children see him and cause trouble. Of the thirty-six strategies, running away is the best.
The old ox outside has been eating grass for a long time and now needs to drink some river water.
Zhu Ping'an hid the brush and wooden board in a secluded place in the bamboo forest, and led the old ox to the riverside down the slope.
Uh, damn, why did that sinister little loli appear at the bottom of the slope again? Can anyone tell me what’s going on
"Ah, poor little thing, I thought you didn't dare to come."
The bored and scheming little loli at the foot of the hill saw Zhu Ping'an appear on the hillside. Her big eyes lit up, like a fighting cock, full of provocation.
