The calligraphy class of the Faculty of Humanities of the University of Latvia
2018年10月31日当地时间下午6：00，拉脱维亚大学人文学院书法课程圆满结课。不同专业的共7名学生在拉脱维亚大学汉学专业Agita Baltgalve教授的带领下学习了近两个月的书法。邹亚平、梁娟、尹艳三名汉语教师志愿者也受邀参与此次课程。
书法课程从基本笔画开始，在打好“地基”后，Agita教授请每位同学挑选了一个自己喜爱的汉字及其字体进行练习。其中，有人挑选了自己中文名的姓氏，如“安”；有人挑选了具有美好寓意的汉字，如“好”“秀”；有人挑选了在中国文化中具有特殊内涵的字，如“气”“念”；有人则选择了自己认为结构优美的字，如“蜂”“隹”；Agita教授则依专业兴趣选择了玄妙的“周易”二字。
“师傅领进门，修行在个人。”在悠扬梵乐的涤荡中，师生心无旁骛，一遍又一遍进行摹写练习。期间，受邀的汉语志愿者教师跟同学们进行了结构、力道、运笔等方面的交流，适时给予帮助，示范讲解。经过不断地揣摩和尝试，学生们完成了从稚嫩到纯熟的蜕变，取得了令人欣喜的进步。
最后一节课，大家都拿出了令自己满意的作品。其后，师生共同鉴赏，评选出“最受喜爱的作品”，协力张贴布置成“书法墙”，打造出人文学院又一道别致的风景线。看着赏心悦目的“书法墙”，Agita教授称赞“他们的书法很有艺术性，是近年来最好的一届”，并就此向三位志愿者教师的帮助表示感谢。
此次书法课程，学生不仅学习了基础汉字知识，更体会了汉字书法的审美趣味，无疑是汉字——这朵中国文化之花的又一次盛放。
At 6:00 pm local time on October 31, 2018, the calligraphy course of the Faculty of Humanities of the University of Latvia was successfully completed. A total of 7 students from different majors studied calligraphy for nearly two months under the leadership of Professor Agita Baltgalve, a sinologist at the University of Latvia. Three Chinese language teacher volunteers, Zou Yaping, Liang Juan and Yin Yan, were also invited to participate in the course.
The calligraphy course begins with basic strokes. And then Professor Agita asks each student to choose a favorite Chinese character to practice.
In the cleansing of the melodious music, the teachers and students practiced writing over and over again. During the period, the invited Chinese volunteer teachers provided assistance appropriately. After continually practicing, the studentshave made a greating progress.
In the last lesson, everyone came up with a work that satisfied them. And the teachers and students jointly appraised and selected the “most loved works” and arranged them together to form a “calligraphy wall”. Professor Agita praised “their calligraphy is very artistic .”
In this calligraphy class, students not only learned the basic Chinese characters, but also realized the aesthetic taste of Chinese calligraphy. It is undoubtedly that it’s a bloom of the Chinese culture flower–Chinese Character.
