书法是中华文化的一部分,具有悠久的历史,一直以来备受华人的青睐。在印尼有很多的华人爱好书法,上至耋耄老人,下至小学生,经常可以看到他们发表在各种报刊杂志上的书法作品。书法不仅仅只是一种文字记录的工具,它具有很强的形式美感,人们可以通过书法表达自己的思想感情,可以陶冶性情,提高修养。海外华文教育的目的就是希望广大的海外华人能够保留自己本民族的优秀文化,不尽能够通晓华文语言,还能够传承中华艺术。因此,笔者特别在小学阶段加入了书法艺术的课程内容。 Calligraphy is a part of Chinese culture and has a long history. It has always been popular among Chinese people. There are many Chinese in Indonesia who love calligraphy, ranging from elderly people to elementary school children, and often can see calligraphy they publish in various newspapers and magazines. Calligraphy is more than just a tool for writing records. It has a strong sense of formal beauty. People can express their thoughts and feelings through calligraphy, cultivate their temperament and improve their cultivation. The purpose of overseas Chinese education is to hope that the vast number of overseas Chinese will be able to retain their own excellent culture, not be able to fully understand the Chinese language, but also be able to pass on the Chinese art. Therefore, I especially joined the curriculum of calligraphy art in primary school.
