Second Chance Chapter 27

Before Old Xiu Cai Sun began his new lesson, there was a checking of homework, and Zhu Pingan could see clearly from outside that Old Xiu Cai Sun sampled a few students and had them come forward. Then, a piece of paper was used to cover the textbook, revealing one of the characters and allowing them to recognize it one by one.

Because yesterday, Zhu Pingjun and his classmate had slept in the classroom, so they were emphasized by the husband to check their homework, and as a result, Zhu Pingjun, just like him at home yesterday, only remembered four words, and was beaten four times on the palm of his hand by Old Xiu Cai Sun. His tablemate was no better, remembering one more word than Zhu Pingjun, and was beaten three times on the palm of his hand.

After beating the palm of his hand, Old Xiu Cai Sun let them return to the table and began to lecture.

“Yesterday, we taught the eight characters of the Thousand Character Essay, today we will teach writing these eight characters.” Elder Xiu Cai Sun let the children lay out their brushes, ink, paper and inkstones and began to lecture, “Whenever you learn how to write characters, you first learn how to hold the pen.”

Sun old Xiu Cai lecture, while demonstrating, “Today granted you and other five-finger brush method, five fingers and use, pay attention to press, pressure, hook,, against …….”

Brushstrokes were exactly Zhu Pingan’s weak point, so Zhu Pingan listened extra carefully outside.

The so-called five-finger brush method, “press” refers to the first book of the thumb inside the pen against the body of the side of the thumb in a slightly horizontal lateral state; “pressure” refers to the first section of the index finger or the second section of the joints from the outside to the inside of the pen; Hook” refers to the middle finger next to the index finger, hooking the pen; “” refers to the ring finger next to the middle finger, with the first section of the root of the nails close to the pen to live in the index finger, the middle finger inward pressure; “against the” refers to the finger against the pen; “against the” refers to the finger against the pen. “refers to the finger against the ring finger inside the lower side, help on a force. This forms five fingers power evenly around the three sides of the pen, so that the pen is fixed, the palm of the hand is empty. The same is the five-finger pen method, and because of the hand frame of the open and close, the pen in the fingertip or the second joint of the fingers and the formation of a variety of forms, also known as “phoenix eyes”, “tiger’s mouth”, “goose head” and other five-finger pen method. “and other five fingers of the pen in different postures.

Sun old showman after explaining, will go down one by one will be the children of the wrong place to correct, hand in hand to teach them the correct posture of holding the pen.

See the children have mastered the pen grip, the old Sun Xiu Cai and spoke under the wrist method, pillow wrist, hanging wrist, hanging elbow, because the children are beginners, the old Sun Xiu Cai just give them focus on explaining the hanging wrist method.

“Learning to write is valuable to have perseverance in practicing the book must be with the heart. When the heart is right, the pen is right, and the pen decision is memorized in the heart. The pen does not leave, turn and turn your round dew. There is a droop and a desire to close, the outline is not mediocre. The left side of the pen should be vertical, and the right side is straight. The downward stroke is like a golden knife, and the downward stroke is like a rhinoceros horn. Horizontal front service convergence, the structure of the gas wants to be clear ……..” Sun old showman is an experienced and absolutely competent husband, will be their own experience one by one to the students, and take great pains to correct every child’s mistakes.

This is the difference between self-study and having a teacher, if the self-study brush character, they do not know some of the places in the writing need to pay attention to, may be in a wrong road farther and farther; but with a teacher will not take a detour, in the beginning to lead others.

Zhu Pingan was glad that he had come over to dabble in the lessons, and glad that old Xiu Cai Sun was a good husband.

The children were dipping their ink and running their brushes inside the private school, and Zhu Pingan was dipping his water and pro-board outside the private school.

Zhu Pingan in practicing the brush character found that writing brush characters is definitely not a simple thing, how to write in their own hands how to write how to feel awkward, the brush does not listen to their own words, it is very raw.

Ancient cloud “force in the tip of the pen”, honestly, want to write a good brush character, you have to put the force in the tip of the pen. But want to transport the force in the tip of the pen is not a simple thing, in addition to holding the pen and wrist method, Zhu Pingan found that his hand holding the brush height is also very affect the writing, hold the pen high, the hand of the force transfer to the tip of the distance far, the strokes are easy to float slippery. On the contrary, the pen is low, the pen force is easy to reach the tip, the pen round more stable. Holding the pen high, big changes, write the regular script is not easy to master. There is also the question of the tightness of the brush. Hold too tight, hand too hard will tremble and finger pain. If you hold the pen too loosely, the pen will fall if you don’t use any force. Writing is a matter of skillful force, not dead force. The skillful force comes from practicing for a long time, it is like riding a bicycle, you can ride it, the habit becomes natural, and you don’t feel that you are exerting yourself. If you don’t feel that you are exerting force when you write with a brush, and if you can move the brush freely, you will have passed the brush-carrying barrier.

Zhu Pingan was much older than the private school children, so it was easier for him to understand Sun’s explanation. While the private school children were still fighting with the brush with their teeth bared, Zhu Pingan had already gone from being awkward at the beginning to slowly becoming more comfortable, and was not far from getting used to it.

Yesterday’s urchins came to play again today, Sun old Xiucai inadvertently saw Zhu Pingan outside the private school when he was teaching.
Zhu Pingan outside the private school.

Looking at the chubby kid is using a bamboo tube to pour water on the stone, Sun old showman naturally thought that Zhu Pingan is playing, did not take it seriously at all.

Playing is fine, as long as you don’t disturb the students by making noise. After just a glance, Mr. Sun turned his attention to his own students, correcting their mistakes one by one and even teaching them to write with his hands.

In reality, Zhu Pingan poured the water from the bamboo tube into a natural groove in the stone, using it as an ink stone, and then used the brush made by Zhu’s father to dip it in the water and then write on the black wooden board. You can’t use a brush to dip the water directly into the bamboo tube, this bamboo tube is the cup you drink from.

Old Xiu Cai Sun only saw the scene of Zhu Ping An pouring water onto the stone, and did not see the scene behind it.

Mr. Sun lectured inside the private school, while Zhu Pingan dabbled in the lessons outside. After teaching writing for half a day, Mr. Sun began to teach the children to read and write again. This time, the lesson was not about the Thousand Character Classic, but about the Three Character Classic.

“In the beginning of man, nature is inherently good, nature is similar, and learning is distant.” Old Xiucai Sun led the children to read it nearly ten times before he began to explain the meaning.

After explaining the meaning, Old Xiu Cai Sun began to lead the students to recognize one word at a time. Zhu Pingan was outside the private school, writing down the traditional characters of the Three Character Classic over and over again, making a deep impression and trying to convert the simplified characters in his mind into traditional characters one by one.

A short while later, seeing that Old Xiu Cai Sun had the intention to take a break from the class, Zhu Ping An also packed up his things and headed out of the bamboo forest.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, in case the teacher doesn’t like others to dabble in the class, or the other children see themselves having other right and wrong is also a trouble. Thirty-six plans, walking is the best strategy.

Outside the old yellow cow ate grass for half a day, also need to go to drink some river water.

Zhu Pingan hid the brush and the wooden board in a hidden place in the bamboo forest, and led the old ox toward the river down the slope.

Uh, Nima, why did that dark belly loli appear at the bottom of the slope again, who can tell me what’s going on.

“Ya, poor sour, thought you wouldn’t dare to come.”

The bored ventriloquist loli at the bottom of the slope, seeing Zhu Pingan appearing on the hillside, a pair of big eyes lit up, just like a c*ckfight, full of provocation.
