It is the time of year again when universities send out admission letters. This is actually a great opportunity for them to promote their campus culture and "represent" themselves. If they can grasp it well, it will not only improve the reputation of the school, but also benefit the enrollment work. However, some schools still make a fool of themselves at such a critical moment.


A few days ago, a netizen posted his admission letter, pointing out that the school printed the word "record" as "search", and the "admission letter" became "search for notice". Another school typed the registration date "September 6" as "September 6". These low-level mistakes not only chilled the students' hearts, but also triggered heated discussions among netizens: "What kind of talents can such a careless school cultivate?"


Compared with them, there is a university that has won a lot. It has not only been on the hot search due to its good intentions, but also won everyone's praise and admiration. It is Shaanxi Normal University. When most universities choose to print admission letters, this university still insists on asking old professors to handwrite the letters, and has persisted for 18 years.


Some netizens were deeply moved and said frankly, "For this admission letter, I must work hard to apply for Shaanxi Normal University." From the pictures of the admission letters displayed online, we can see that the professors wrote meticulously, with exquisite and beautiful handwriting, which is pleasing to the eye. According to news reports, these old professors are retired teachers from Shaanxi Normal University, and the oldest is 91 years old.


They come from various majors and colleges, but without exception, none of them are professional calligraphers. Some of them have learned calligraphy since childhood, but they always use it as a "tool" to cultivate their character. Since each professor's calligraphy is different, the changes in the pen are also noticed when writing different letters. Therefore, each freshman receives a "out-of-print" admission letter that is unique to him or her.


Some of these professors use "Yan Kai" as the basis, with full and powerful strokes, the center of the brush, and the sharpness of the brush. The brush is both square and round, thick and vigorous, and the structure is stretched and solemn. Some are written in "Liu Kai", with strong muscles and bones, and each word has a thousand-pound force. A kind of "virtue carries all things" is full of the majestic and magnificent words.


Some professors wrote in regular script, adopting the brushwork of Wang Xianzhi, Zhong Shaojing, Jiang Kui and others, with graceful and light strokes, beautiful but not empty, and each word is delicate and graceful. Some admission letters were written in regular script, combining "Zhao style" with Yan style, with the mature and charming structure of Zhao characters and the thin and hard strokes of Yan and Liu.


In short, each of these notices embodies decades of hard work, each stroke is delicate and precise, and each word is meticulous, pious and sincere. Compared with some calligraphy masters who blindly pursue individuality, the calligraphy of these old professors is more admirable.
