Eight methods of eternal discourse
The eight strokes of the word "Yong" is a way to explain the use of pens in block letters, so it is called because it takes the eight strokes of the word "Yong" as an example. Its source is the old three theories: Zhang Xu said, see Mo Chi; Monk Zhiyong said, see "Jinghua in Bookstore"; Cai Yong and Wang Xizhi said that Li See has a case study of eight methods of popularizing light. Its legal name is "side", and the side front must be steep and brushed, which is enough to close the front; If the horizontal painting is "music", you must drop the paper to the front, slowly and quickly to the back, not even with the front.
A straight pen is "anger", not too straight. If it is too straight, it will be stiff and weak, so you should see the curve in the straight; The tick is "T √", so you should stay in front and raise your pen. Suddenly lifting the hook, the force is concentrated on the nib; Yang Heng is a "strategy", with strength in the pen and strength in the painting; Long left as "lüè ne", with a straight pen. Fat in front, push. If you don't accept it, you will easily make the mistake of drift instability.
Skimming is "pecking" and writing on the left is fast and sharp; Holding the pen as "zhé", you should write lightly against the front, fold the front and spread it slowly until the end, focusing on subtlety. Later generations also extended the word "eight methods" as a synonym for "calligraphy".

They are "side (point), music (horizontal), anger (vertical), hook (hook), strategy (lift), skimming (skimming), pecking (right short skimming) and licking (pressing), which are clearly explained in Zhu Zongyuan's Introduction to China Calligraphy.
