Chinese calligraphy in my family
My father is interested in writing Chinese calligraphy since he was young. He thinks "reading and writing are happiness of life". From modeling to creating, he never stops.
This is my older sister's painting of peony, she enjoys drawing peony and she's really good at it too. This is one of the art works she has of peony.
I feel quite ashamed to show my piece. This is one kinds of Chinese calligraphy style. This kind of style is very strict. You must do it straight and make it nicely. I always practice it before I came to the United States of America. Now, my study take off a lot of my times, I don't have enough times to practice Chinese Calligraphy any more. But I think doing calligraphy made me feel better. I enjoy doing calligraphy.
Our family made this bamboo slips. We spent ten days working on it together. This helped us to understand what the meaning of the poem is. It encouraged us to work and study harder.
As I know writing Chinese calligraphy is not just a skill, it also teaches us many reason of life and trains your cultivations and minds. Chinese calligraphy helps us develop the ability to appreciate the beauty of the art works.
