Features: Teachers must clearly define teaching objectives and tasks, emphasizing the tool-oriented nature of hard-tip writing instruction. The tool-oriented nature is manifested in the following aspects:
1. Speed. Writing quickly is a key characteristic of a tool. In hard-tip writing training, speed must be practiced to cultivate the habit of fast writing from an early age. Speed is the lifeblood of hard-tip writing; without speed, there is no quality. Some schools and teachers, in pursuit of competition awards, apply brush calligraphy teaching methods to hard-tip writing, making students grind away in concepts like "reverse, conceal, wrap, and turn," ignoring the characteristics of hard-tip writing and introducing unnecessary "extra movements." This inevitably fosters students' slow writing habits, making it difficult for them to keep up with the fast pace of future study and work.
2. Aesthetics. Speed does not exclude beauty. Hard-tip writing seeks beauty even while prioritizing speed. Of course, its standard of beauty differs from that of brush calligraphy. Brush calligraphy pursues artistic beauty, while hard-tip writing pursues practical beauty—namely, neatness, clarity, and visual appeal. This ensures that readers can instantly recognize written language information and experience pleasure.
3. Standardization. Both "speed" and "aesthetics" must obey "standardization." If words are written incorrectly, as misspellings or in ways that others cannot understand, then speed and beauty lose all value. Hard-tip writing has no "freedom" and must be standardized, conforming to national regulations on writing systems. Simplified characters must be used to ensure the accuracy of written information and prevent misguiding readers.
The content of this book is primarily derived from primary and secondary school Chinese language textbooks, facilitating the combination of writing and reading. It also includes some running script styles, which can further enhance speed training.
