In the "Eight Methods of Yongzi", it is said that "the point is the side, just like a bird turning over and turning down on its side." Side means tilting, so "point" should be written in a tilted position, like a boulder standing on its side, dangerous and majestic. Mrs. Wei's "Brush Formation Diagram" said that "(points) are like falling rocks from the peak, and the bumps are really like collapse." This shows that the brushwork of the points is steep and the strokes are dangerous. The shapes of dots are ever-changing. Let's briefly classify them to analyze the writing rules and specific writing methods of dots: 1. Side dots: Side dots can be called the standard type of dots, whether it is "Yongzi Bafa" or Mrs. Wei's "Bi Zhen" The points discussed in "Picture" or Ouyang Xun's "Eight Secrets" are all side points.
2. Vertical points: Vertical points are similar to short vertical points, but they are one point at a time. 3. Apostrophe dot: Apostrophe dot is similar to short apostrophe. It is written in the dot of the word with apostrophe strokes.
4. Tips: Tips are also called points.
5. Long point: Long point replaces the pen, also known as counter-point.
