让书法艺术回归书写——汉语初学者书法教育的探索
English Abstract
Abstract: Chinese calligraphy, often recognized as an iconic representation of Asian culture, is widely regarded as a traditional art form with over thousands of years history. However, it is often overlooked that, at its core, calligraphy is a method of writing. In the process of learning about Asian art, culture, and character history through Chinese calligraphy, we can also introduce Chinese beginners to the art of writing Chinese characters. This integration of traditional Chinese calligraphy as a means of writing Chinese characters with language learning offers numerous advantages for novice learners. It engages their senses of sight, hearing, speech, and touch simultaneously, preventing the tedium associated with mechanical character copying. Furthermore, it significantly enhances their understanding of stroke order and character structure, while also alleviating anxiety related to Chinese character acquisition.
Chinese Abstract
中国书法通常被认为是亚洲文化的标志性代表，被广泛认为是具有数千年历史的传统艺术形式。然而，人们常常忽视的是，书法的核心是一种书写方法。在通过中国书法了解亚洲艺术、文化和文字历史的过程中，我们还可以向中国初学者介绍汉字的书写艺术。这种将中国传统书法作为书写汉字的手段与语言学习相结合的方式，为初学者提供了许多优势。它同时调动了他们的视觉、听觉、言语和触觉，避免了机械字符复制带来的单调乏味。此外，它还显着增强了他们对笔顺和汉字结构的理解，同时也减轻了与汉字习得相关的焦虑。
