Let’s Practice

书法与太极相通,同根同源,形质契合。都以阴阳之理,融汇在拳、书之中。在技法上,通阴阳之变,结构、章法、气韵,意境,贯通一体,实现养气,养心,涵养道德、生命。  

练习书法是脑力劳动,它可以锻炼人的思维能力,同时也是体力劳动,它几乎需要周身活动。

练习书法不仅要展纸挥毫泼墨,还要用心用神用气。每日临池握笔,开卷书写,必然端坐凝视,专心致志。写字时头正、肩松、身直、臂开、足安;执笔则指实、掌虚、掌竖、腕平、肘起。一身之力由腰部而渐次过渡到肩——肘——腕——掌,最后贯注到五指,运行于毫端。本课程通过书法,以练气,养气,为主,享受安静,舒适的书写体验。”

Calligraphy and Tai Chi are interconnected, sharing the same roots and resonating in their forms. Both embody the principles of Yin and Yang, integrating these concepts into the practice of martial arts and calligraphy. In terms of Calligraphy technique,  the transformations of Yin and Yang, integrating structure, composition, rhythm, and artistic conception into a unified whole, achieving the cultivation of energy, mind, and moral integrity, as well as life itself.

Practicing calligraphy is a mental exercise that enhances one’s thinking abilities, and it is also a physical activity that requires almost full-body involvement. It demands not only the physical act of spreading paper and wielding the brush but also the engagement of mind, spirit, and breath. Daily practice of holding the brush and writing involves sitting upright with focused attention. While writing, the head should be straight, shoulders relaxed, body upright, arms open, and feet stable. The grip of the brush involves firm fingers, relaxed palm, vertical hand, flat wrist, and raised elbow. The power of the whole body transitions gradually from the waist to the shoulder, elbow, wrist, palm, and finally to the five fingers, flowing to the tip of the brush. This course focuses on practicing and cultivating Qi (vital energy) through calligraphy, providing a peaceful and comfortable writing experience.
