North American parents are focusing on their children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When mothers in the Upper East Side of New York were still caught in the battle for Birkin bags, elite mothers in North America had already bought pens, ink, paper and inkstones and sent their children to Chinese calligraphy classes. In addition to equestrian, fencing, and baseball, the children competed with mysterious oriental characters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udc49Why do you choose Chinese calligraphy?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>North American parents believe that in terms of language learning, the difficulty of Chinese is very challenging and can exercise children\u2019s learning ability. Learning one of the most difficult languages in the world, this learning ability is really nothing to say. It was okay when learning characters, but when it came to forming words, the children were a little confused. Why did the meaning of words change when the words were formed? I can only sigh that the Chinese culture is extensive and profound!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udc49Why practice calligraphy?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s because the art radar has sounded. The beauty of Chinese calligraphy is recognized. Once these square characters are written with a brush, the oriental charm will be created. While learning Chinese characters, it can also cultivate children\u2019s artistic sentiments, killing two birds with one stone! Interestingly, the children learn a variety of fonts in the Chinese calligraphy class. The common cursive script, running script, and regular script are only entry-level, while Xiaozhuan and Lishu are the most popular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seven styles of Chinese characters: Jiajin Zhuanli Caokaixing, only the first two are not involved, it is indeed the latest trick of chicken baby! The fonts are all written, and these little stories need to be known!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Interesting facts in the evolution of Chinese characters<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Attractive not only book style<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chinese characters have undergone thousands of years of evolution, and the fonts have undergone considerable changes. If children feel that practicing calligraphy dryly is too boring, let\u2019s neutralize it with a few interesting short stories of Chinese characters!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left\" id=\"h-01-oracle\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"01-oracle\"><\/span><strong>01 Oracle<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Oracle bone inscriptions appeared in the late Yin and Shang Dynasties around the 14th century BC, and you can tell from the name that they are characters carved on tortoise shells or animal bones. Some time ago, a \u201ccar accident\u201d in the Shang Dynasty became popular. It was originally a tragic record of a car accident in which a courtier knocked over the king, but because of the combination of oracle bone inscriptions and pictures, it abruptly made this incident quite joyful.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"611\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-more.wukongedu.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Oracle-bone-inscriptions-1-611x1024.png\" alt=\"Oracle bone inscriptions\" class=\"wp-image-14340\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp-more.wukongedu.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Oracle-bone-inscriptions-1-611x1024.png 611w, https:\/\/wp-more.wukongedu.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Oracle-bone-inscriptions-1-179x300.png 179w, https:\/\/wp-more.wukongedu.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/Oracle-bone-inscriptions-1.png 700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 611px) 100vw, 611px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The middle part is the description of the car accident, which roughly means: King Wuding of Shang was hunting in a carriage, and the axle of the minister\u2019s car suddenly broke, and the horse was frightened, bumped into the king\u2019s car, and knocked over the car.

Cheng Miao initially worked as a small official in a county, responsible for transcribing relevant documents. Later, he went to prison for a crime. In prison, with nothing to do all day long, he remembered the torment he suffered from Xiaozhuan script when he was copying documents before, and he had the idea of changing the font. Not only did he think in prison, but after he was released from prison, he also collected and studied for several years, and finally created a simpler and more straight-forward official script. If the research is successful, there must be Bole! Cheng Miao wrote a memorial book of 3,000 official script characters that he had collected and researched successfully in 10 years, and presented it to Qin Shihuang. After Qin Shihuang read it, he admired Cheng Miao very much and promoted him to be a censor. The officials saw that this official script was really convenient, and they used this font one after another when writing memorials, and thus the official script became popular in the Qin Dynasty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-text-align-left\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"04-cursive-script-not-only-the-words-but-also-the-hair-are-crazy\"><\/span><strong>04 Cursive script: not only the words but also the hair are crazy<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After talking about the Qin Dynasty, let\u2019s also talk about the prosperous Tang Dynasty!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Tang Dynasty developed well in all aspects. Kuangcao was created by people to express their feelings. Unlike Zhangcao, Kuangcao pays attention to the word \u201ckuang\u201d. Calligraphers who write wild cursive are also quite wild and unruly, the most famous one is \u201cCao Sheng\u201d Zhang Xu.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is said that he drank alcohol every time before writing, and when he drank to his heart\u2019s content, he picked up his hair as a brush, and wrote with ink while walking. If there was a personality test in ancient times, Zhang Xu must be an ESTP! Others use essential oils for hairdressing, but he created the \u201cink hairdressing\u201d method, using hair dipped in ink to write. The wild way of writing made people at that time give him a stage name \u2013 \u201cZhang Dian\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"983\" height=\"908\" src=\"https:\/\/wp-more.wukongedu.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/0414-6-1.png\" alt=\"Cursive script\" class=\"wp-image-14408\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wp-more.wukongedu.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/0414-6-1.png 983w, https:\/\/wp-more.wukongedu.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/0414-6-1-300x277.png 300w, https:\/\/wp-more.wukongedu.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/0414-6-1-768x709.png 768w, https:\/\/wp-more.wukongedu.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/0414-6-1-920x850.png 920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 983px) 100vw, 983px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Look at the wild grass written under this unrestrained temperament, it\u2019s really unrecognizable!
