  • This instructional video on Chinese brush calligraphy for middle school students was prepared by the KU Center for East Asian Studies and the KU East Asian Library. The character used in this demo is 永 (pinyin "yŏng" meaning "forever"). 永 incorporates the eight basic strokes found in common Chinese characters. These eight basic strokes are known as永字八法 (yŏng zì bā fă).

    if you dont want to watch the whole video at length, just turn the speed to 1.5, it helps out alot.

      The demonstrator is writing the strokes slowly for your benefit, so that you can see the subtle movements required to write them correctly. Slow down, relax, take the time to enjoy the video. You might learn something.

    Thanks for this lesson! My daughter and I are doing this lesson as part of her 6th grade Ancient China history class at home.
    Question--Do the different strokes have special meanings associated with each of them?

    我觉得这个老师还不错啊,评论太苛刻了吧。她字写得不算书法家水平,但还是挺工整的。而且英文也不错。你自己在家拿个毛笔试试边写边用英语讲解,恐怕你连英语时态都用不对。别说专业词汇了。

  • @juneshoe
    @juneshoe Před 10 lety +2

    I'm having an issue with my calligraphy brush, where, after I draw a long stroke, the hairs are very curved/bent out of shape, making the next stroke difficult to write unless I fix the hairs with my hand. Can you offer any tips to prevent this?

    • @Toxicrafa
      @Toxicrafa Před 10 lety +1

      Buy a good brush. That happens with the cheap ones... Try to get brushes with harder hair, like wolf hair or horse, avoid goat hair.

      @Chinese-Calligraphy Před 5 lety +1

      不要用小笔写大字。
      一般来说,写完钩都要舔一下笔,一些大型的笔画如浮鹅钩,写完后舔笔整理笔毫也是正常的。
      please use the work "write" instead of "draw".

    • @manileung3506
      @manileung3506 Před 7 lety +2

      no you can try to learn chinese calligraphy with right hand. actually it's beneficial for your left brain and right brain cos you have chance to practice them all. you have advantage than right handed person cos they dont have that chance!

    • @lexaaxel916
      @lexaaxel916 Před 11 měsíci +1

      Being left-handed, I tried to learn with my left hand and everything was ok until I was learning to write the 'nu' stroke. So I switched to learning with the right hand. Tricky but it's getting easier.

    Yesterday I saw a Chinese woman that was so beautiful I almost stumbled. I did my best not to stare but I wondered what the Chinese Characters are for "exquisite beauty." I am thinking of buying a go pro camera in case it happens again but Heaven has a sense of humor and I know this will not happen again. I have decided I must look up more and take note of the world around me and I am looking forward to Spring Flowers - the botanical kind or course but who knows?

  • @learningchinesewithmaobi2692

    not correct about the holding brush,you dont have to be 100% straight up and down to the table,further more,when you sit and write small characters,offcourse you can rest your elbow on the desk,which help holding brush more stable

  • @domrablah102
    @domrablah102 Před 7 lety +3

    At 3.05 the narrator says its not 'painting' or 'drawing'...........then at 9.10 she says '..the way that you're drawing the strokes..' Her knowledge doesn't sound very secure - if it were, the narration would be consistent. Check out professor 田英章 (copy and paste) for excellent examples of 'how to' Chinese calligraphy

    • @andrew39119
      @andrew39119 Před 7 lety +3

      Actually her exact quote "This isn't drawing an outline and filling it in, this is writing"

    • @andrew39119
      @andrew39119 Před 7 lety +1

      Check yourself before you critique

    • @domrablah102
      @domrablah102 Před 7 lety

      she does say 'this is not painting or drawing' just before that. and then she does say later 'draw' the stroke....I just checked myself.

    • @domrablah102
      @domrablah102 Před 7 lety

      I know she means, as I practise Chinese calligraphy and love it, but for those who dont but want to know, it should be correct and consistent as an instructional video.....thats all

    • @domrablah102
      @domrablah102 Před 7 lety

      fair enough - she said 'you're not drawing and filling it in'......but ironically that's what the calligrapher does at that point.; the 'dian' shouldn't be done like that..it should be a stroke, rather than a 'teardrop' 'pained in' like she actually does - just a bit misleading, confused and not very instructional.
      I feel for the lady doing the calligraphy as she is probably just a student drafted in to demonstrate..........no bad feeling intended, just think it should be correct and enjoyable, rather than incorrect and rather unnecessarily austere (until the end, where she says 'go for it' - it would be the last thing I would want to do after watching that)

      @usamanasher6852 Před 7 lety

      Well, I don't know... personally thought she wasn't that bad.... She isn't a MASTER calligrapher... good on the technical side but not on the artistic side.... she does have a few mistakes though... but i appreciate the time she took to do this

    • @ummapapa8931
      @ummapapa8931 Před 6 lety +1

      chinese calligraphy is not a collective term for anything written with a Chinese brush and Chinese ink.
      It has its specific ways and rules to follow.
      This video is good to teach chinese characters as a language to student. When it comes to chinese calligraphy this video lacks the skill, the ways and the results to qualified as “Chinese calligraphy”
      90%of the calligraphy videos do not strictly follow the requirements of CG. At least they help to stimulate interests in this ancient art.
