Eight methods are "eight methods of eternal characters", which refers to regular script. The eight-character method is the rule of China's calligraphy. Taking the eight strokes of the word "Yong" as an example, this paper expounds the method of block letters. According to legend, 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.
