The beautiful steps of Yongzi's writing are as follows:
The point of the first pen is the side point, not too straight, and the pen tip should not face up.
The second stroke is short, not long.
Don't write too thick in the third vertical pen, it looks dull.
The fourth hook should not be too sharp. Not too big, not too far.
The fifth horizontal pen should be lightly picked, lifted and dropped, leaving a little curvature, starting slowly and putting pen to paper quickly.
Sixth, use a pen slightly heavier, use a pen slightly faster, do not hesitate.
Finally, hold the pen as close as possible to the vertical pen, and you can pass through the vertical pen. Start slowly, write slowly, write thicker and write faster. The tip of the last pen should be as flat as possible without hooking.
The eight strokes of the word "Yong" represent the most important strokes in the structure of Chinese characters: side, joy, anger, truth, side, grazing, pecking and licking. The eight strokes of this word can fully represent the essence of strokes in China's books.
Legend has it that it was created by Zhiyong in Sui Dynasty or Wang Xizhi in Eastern Jin Dynasty or Zhang Xu in Tang Dynasty. Eight strokes of ancient characters are the basic rules of regular script, and later generations extended eight strokes to eight strokes, which is called the basis of calligraphy.
Wang Xizhi, a great calligrapher in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, spent several years writing the word "Yong". He believes that this word has eight methods of regular script. If you write the word "forever" well, all words can be written well. Later, Wang Xizhi's grandson, Zhi Yong, passed this "eight-character method through the ages" to Yu Shinan, and later, it was handed down by many calligraphers.
