Features: Teachers should clearly define teaching objectives and tasks, emphasizing the tool-oriented nature of penmanship teaching. The tool-oriented nature is demonstrated by:
1. Speed. Fast writing is a key feature of tool-oriented writing. In penmanship training, speed must be practiced, and students should develop the habit of writing quickly from a young age. Speed is the lifeblood of penmanship; without speed, there is no quality.
2. Aesthetics. Speed does not exclude beauty. Under the premise of speed, penmanship also pursues aesthetics. The pursuit of penmanship is practical beauty.
3. Standardization. Both speed and aesthetics must subordinate to standardization. If you write wrong characters, misspelled words, or characters that people cannot understand, speed and beauty become meaningless. Penmanship must be standardized—it must comply with national regulations on characters and use simplified characters to ensure that written information is accurate and does not mislead readers. The content of this book is mostly related to primary and secondary school Chinese textbooks, facilitating the combination of writing and reading. It also includes some cursive scripts, which can enhance speed training.
