The mouth draws a circle, and the sun is also a circle.

These two circles, which one is the mouth and which one is the sun, cannot be separated.

After a while, a smart child said, "It's different. The sun is full in the middle, not a circle."

Children have a keen observation ability and can always discover subtle places.

Li Mengxi looked up at the sun and thought it was true.

Li Mengxi nodded, "Then, let's write the sun, circles, the middle is full, write it."

Li Mengxi asked the children to draw the sun according to their own understanding and think about how they painted the sun.

The children kept looking back and looked at the sunset in the west.

Compared to the mouth that is not very good at shaped, the sun is a particularly round circle.

Most children draw a circle that is not very regular on the ground, and then poke it in the circle with a small stick, trying to cut off all the soil in the circle to achieve the purpose of filling the entire circle.

The sun is red in the circle, and there are things in the circle.

Li Mengxi looked down. He saw most of the children snatching and playing happily on the ground. There were also a few people, very salty fish. After snatching and pulling, he didn't want to move anymore and watched others work.

After walking around, seeing that the children had almost finished paintings, Li Mengxi walked to the podium again.

"Students, have you all painted it?" Li Mengxi asked.

"Okay." The child replied.

"But, how slow is it to write with the sun? Do you think?"

"Or, let's draw a bar in the middle of the circle and just pretend that it's full. Is it OK?"

As he said that, Li Mengxi drew a large circle with a horizontal line in the middle.

"Then you see, the word Yue is also a circle, add one horizontal line, and the sun is also a circle and one horizontal line, right? Is it the same again?"

The children were confused.

"What should I do now?" Li Mengxi pretended to be out of his mind and asked on purpose.

Silent.

The children stared at Li Mengxi with countless eyes.

After a while, Li Mengxi and others were almost done.

"Do you want to know how the teacher draws a word "大" and a sun, and do you want to know?"

The children below were all looking at each other, waiting for the answer to Li Mengxi's mystery.

"Look at it with wide eyes." Li Mengxi slowly lifted his pen.

"Let's draw the circle into square."

"What is a circle? What is it? It is--" Li Mengxi pointed at his mouth.

"It's a mouth!" the children answered.

"Yes, yes, mouth~" Li Mengxi wrote a square word.

Then, Li Mengxi drew a relatively wide word, and while writing, he said, "In the mouth, add a horizontal line, what is this horizontal line? When you speak, you can see it..."

"Tait!" the child answered in unison.

"Yes! This horizontal line is the teeth, so, you can see teeth in the mouth. What does this word mean..."

"Speak!" the child replied.

"Yes, speaking. What do you pronounce this word?" Li Mengxi pointed at the word "王" and asked the children below.

"It's [just]". The children answered.

"Okay, can we write the sun out? Look, [Say] is so wide. Let's write longer. This is longer, the sun out. Do you think it's good?" Li Mengxi picked up his pen and wrote another thin word "Say" on the door panel.

Children can see clearly that this word is different from the word "媺" in which they speak. This one is long and sun.

"So, what does this thin word mean?" Li Mengxi asked inspiration.

"It's the sun!" The children raised their heads and widened their eyes, chattering like little sparrows.

"Yes!" Li Mengxi smiled brightly, "Remember, this thin person is the sun."

"Read it with me twice, ri~"

Children have learned the third word, the sun is the sun.

Moreover, the children clearly remember why this long and thin character "Da" is written like this.

The character "Sun" also becomes a circle, and the horizontal one in the middle is because the mouth is also a square box, so it should be distinguished from the character "Sheng".

Also, because the word "日" in the word "日" is also a horizontal line in the middle of a square box, so the word "日" is written as thinner.

Li Mengxi taught children to write and was very dedicated, so he didn't notice when Liu Bei came.

After Liu Bei came over, he stood among the adults. Liu Bei witnessed the process of Li Mengxi teaching children to write 90% of the time.

Li Mengxi taught his calligraphy in a unique way and found a different approach. It turns out that this is how the origin of the characters came from.

Liu Bei was extremely surprised when he heard Li Mengxi teach him a few words.

Li Mengxi was extremely talented, and Liu Bei was amazed.

Liu Bei came to find Li Mengxi, but something was coming.

"Students, look, what is this?"

Li Mengxi held a tree branch with broken branches on both sides of the branch and two forks, which were completely standard [wood]-shaped branches.

"This is a branch!" The children recognized the branch at a glance.

"How should I draw this branch?" Li Mengxi asked the children with a smile.

Children who have learned several words, even though they have not learned words before, now they know how to draw according to the brush.

The tree branch that Li Mengxi looked for was very classic. Perhaps because the twig with the shape of [wood] is the most common, and this shape is very representative. Therefore, in ancient times, the character [wood], which represents trees, was like this.

The children painted on the ground according to the branches of the tree, and Li Mengxi walked down to see it.

Li Mengxi walked downstairs to observe the words written by the child. When he looked, he found a problem.

There is no big problem with the font. Although the children do not know the concept of strokes and write them with uneven horizontal and vertical lines, the shape of the character [wood] was successfully written.

The problem lies in the ground and writing tools.

The children sat on the ground, and the open space where they wrote was just a little in front of them. They drew their mouths on the ground, saying, "Sun," after a few words, there was no open space.

When writing [wood] again, you can only write it on the edges and corners, or directly cover it on the original handwriting.

Some children stop writing when they see there is no place to write.

The second is the problem of the pen. The child’s pen is a firewood stick, which is not strong. If you don’t draw it a few times on the ground, it will break and there will be no pen available.

Teaching children to write is something that Li Mengxi thinks is very meaningful and is ready to implement it for a long time. Children do not have writing tools, so they have to find a way to solve it.

According to the current conditions of the Rebel Army, there is no way to get the pen, ink, paper and inkstone.

Even if you have a stable territory in the future, it is unlikely that you can afford children's use if you have a stable territory in the future.

Papermaking technology in the Han Dynasty was just mature, and papermaking technology had not developed to the peak of technology. Paper output was limited and paper prices were relatively expensive.

Even if you only send a piece of paper for practicing calligraphy to children a day, you won’t have a small amount.

So, with the current conditions in the army, is there any way to get some writing tools for the children?

There is no way to use soft pens such as brushes, so you can only use hard pens.

Hard pens are very simple. There are so many carpenters in the carpenter. They can make chopsticks, and it is even better to make small wooden sticks with half the length of chopsticks. A hard pointed wooden stick can be used as a hard pen.

Moreover, if you use the art of attacking the heart in military tactics, that is, psychological tactics.

The carpenters can make small wooden sticks a little more beautiful, so that even if the children don’t like writing, they want to take them and draw them twice when they see the beautiful wooden stick pen.

It should be noted that children don’t know the dangers when holding things. Although they are hard pens, they cannot be made too sharp like pencils, which can easily hurt people.

You can make the pen a little bit bald and it will be safe.

With the pen and the paper for writing, Li Mengxi also remembered how to do it.

Thinking of the movie "Hero", the Qin army sieges the city, and the people of Zhao in the city wrote in the rain of arrows.

The shot is that the Zhao people in red dress hold reed poles in their hands and write on the paved sand.

Can be copied.

Let the carpenter camp make some small square wooden trays that hold sand. The wooden trays do not need to be too big. For children, it is not easy to use when they are big, and it is not easy to use when they are small.

Generally, it should be a wooden plate about forty centimeters long.

If the depth of the wooden plate that holds sand should be one knuckle, two or three centimeters deep is enough.

Then, each child should be given a "eraser", that is, a small wooden board used to smooth the handwriting on the sand after writing.

In this way, there are pens, sand trays, tools to smooth sand, and tools to write.
