A happy principal with both civil and military skills? ——A record of Principal Li Kang and his impressions of calligraphy Text/Zhan Yu I remember that on June 11 this year, which happened to be the weekend, I met Principal Li Kang when I attended the founding meeting of the Shandong Committee of the Chinese Youth Literature and Art Association.

When we first met, he gave the impression that he was relatively humble and elegant, with gold-rimmed eyes and the image of a scholar.

Later, we chatted quite well until late at night.

Later, I learned that Li Kang especially loved calligraphy after work and was good at handwriting.

In the future, we also communicated frequently because of the art of calligraphy.

As the saying goes, when you meet a close friend, a thousand cups are too few. We often communicate by email or on the phone late at night, and naturally we become familiar old friends.

Principal Li Kang's school has always been a first-class institution among rural middle schools in Liangshan County, and its teaching quality has always been among the best.

He once said with great ambition that in the future, on this basis, we should improve the school's philosophy, continuously strengthen infrastructure construction, increase the greening and beautification of the campus environment, and create a strong scholarly cultural atmosphere and a good educational environment.

Always regard teaching quality as the lifeline of the school, increase the excellence rate, further improve the quality education management system, and make the school a palace for students to learn knowledge and a paradise for growth and development.

In education and teaching, the educational concepts he cares about include the following: 1. Always pay attention to the progress and development of students, and establish the concept of "everything is for the development of students".

2. Teachers are required to have the concept of "whole person" rather than the development of a certain aspect or a certain subject.

3. Pay attention to the quality of teaching and require teachers to have the concept of time and efficiency.

4. Pay attention to the implementation of details in education and teaching, guide students to gradually establish positive ideas, develop healthy and uplifting good habits, and create a strong learning atmosphere.

His unique management and educational concepts have made the quality of school education stable and constantly improving.

Superior leaders, students, parents, and all sectors of society are relatively satisfied with the school's education and teaching work.

There is no doubt that Li Kang is an excellent principal and an excellent educator.

Speaking of Principal Li Kang’s calligraphy experience, it started when he was in junior high school at the age of 12. It was the neat and beautiful writing on the blackboard and the enthusiastic and strict writing guidance of the Chinese teacher during class that made great progress in his writing.

It was also from that time that he had his first understanding and wonderful impression of calligraphy.

Although I have loved calligraphy since childhood, strictly speaking, I actually love writing.

During his schooling, he was often favored and praised by his teachers for his good handwriting, which made him have great interest and enthusiasm for writing. But at that time, he was only writing, not calligraphy.

The real connection with calligraphy came when he was studying in normal school. He systematically read a large number of calligraphy books and inscriptions, which broadened his horizons.

There are many famous calligraphers he admires, but the one who has a greater influence on him is Mr. Ouyang Zhongshi: his calligraphy is just like his person, fresh and elegant in style, calm and dignified, handsome and elegant, simple and gorgeous.

Looking at his works is like admiring mountains and flowing water, or seeing thousands of horses galloping.

In addition, he is erudite and has profound attainments; the second is Professor Teng Xiqi, especially his official script, which is based on Han stele and integrates the style of simple script. The writing is vigorous and agile, with unique structure and rich connotation. He mostly uses Han brushwork.

It is grand and bold, giving new meaning to the traditional official script.

In addition, Mr. Zhang Youdong's simple, thick, elegant and popular official scripts made him admire and deeply feel.

As far as calligraphy is concerned, every era will produce representative figures of calligraphers, such as Yu Youren, Qi Gong, Ouyang Zhongshi, Wei Qihou and others. They learn from the past without following the past, adapt the past to the present, and have established their own calligraphy style.

face.

Li Kang regarded these people as his teachers.

He said that every time he posts, the masters appear in his mind, and they seem to be standing beside him, guiding him in his studies.

He believes that the more people and friends a person comes into contact with, the more nutrients he absorbs, and the more skillful and comfortable he becomes in learning dharma calligraphy and creating calligraphy.

Li Kang agrees with this view. Copying a large number of classic copybooks of famous ancient and modern masters is the only way to create calligraphy.

It has to go through three stages: confrontation that does not interfere with one's own intentions, exposure that deepens memory, and integration of ideas. It is a process from entering a post to posting it.

The more you experience it, the more you experience it, and the enlightenment and inspiration will follow.

When you are familiar with the writing technique, know the strokes by heart, and understand the meaning of the writing deeply, you will be able to write with ease and ease.

Based on this, he integrated his own aesthetic pursuit of calmness, dignity, simplicity, beauty, elegance and elegance into the art of calligraphy during the creative process, and gradually developed his own style.

Among all calligraphy styles, he is particularly good at running script and official script. He pursues the smoothness and beauty of running script without losing the brow bone of regular script, forming his own unique style.

In Li Kang's educational philosophy, he always believed that traditional culture should be universally applicable in education.

For example, with his understanding and appreciation of the art of calligraphy, he often wrote articles such as: "Six Difficulties in Learning Calligraphy" to allow students to better learn and understand calligraphy.

?The art of calligraphy is the treasure of our Chinese nation. In the creation of calligraphy, we deeply realize that the artistic essence of the Chinese nation is extremely profound and broad, infinitely magnificent, and it never stops showing its charm.
