The character "Yong" has eight strokes, and the strokes represent the most important structures of Chinese characters: side, le, nu, 误, ce, plunder, peck, and 甔." The eight strokes of this character, It can completely represent the essence of strokes in Chinese books.
According to legend, it was created by Zhiyong of the Sui Dynasty, Wang Xizhi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, or Zhang Xu of the Tang Dynasty. The Eight Methods of Yongzi are the basic rules of regular script. Later generations extended the eight strokes into the Eight Methods, which are referred to as the basis of calligraphy.
Wang Xizhi, the great calligrapher of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, spent several years writing the word "Yong". He believes that this character has the eight methods of regular script. If the character "Yong" is written well, all characters can be written well. Later, Wang Xizhi's grandson Zhiyong passed on the "Eight Methods of Yongzi" to Yu Shinan. Later, it was passed down through many calligraphers.
Point method Point, also known as "side". When writing, you need to turn the tip of the brush sideways, hence the name. Dot is the root of Chinese characters, and strokes such as horizontal, vertical, left and right all start from one point. Points include upper point, lower point, left point, right point, upper left point, upper right point, lower left point, lower right point, etc.;

Horizontal method is horizontal, which is "Stretch". The so-called "Le" originally means that the end of the horse's rein is held in the horse's mouth, whichever is uneven or straight, but similar in shape. When writing horizontal paintings, you need to tighten the tip of the pen when starting and ending the pen, hence the name. There are flat horizontal, concave horizontal, convex horizontal, thick waist horizontal, thin waist horizontal, left pointed horizontal, right pointed horizontal, etc.;
The vertical method is vertical, which is "nu". When writing, the stroke of the pen is like drawing a bow and shooting an arrow, hence the name.

Juefa Jue, the shape of the strokes is like a person bending down, hence the name. The ancients also called it the "hooking method". There are straight strokes, arc strokes, high strokes, short strokes, oblique strokes, etc.;
Hook method Hook, the shape of the strokes is "like the crescent moon in the sky". Similar to the " " end. The ancients also called it "Gofa". Hooks include straight hooks, curved hooks, high hooks, short hooks, oblique hooks, etc.
Ouyang Xun, a calligrapher from the Tang Dynasty in my country, also had a similar discussion on the Eight Methods:
The point is the side: the side edge falls steeply, and the strokes are spread out, and the momentum is sufficient to close the front;
p>
Horizontally means "Le": the paper falls against the front, go slowly and rush back, do not pass along the front;
The vertical pen means "Strength": it should not be too straight, as if it is too straight, it will become stiff and weak. It must be straight in the middle to see the curve;
The hook is tì: the pen is lifted at the front, so that the force is concentrated on the tip of the pen;
The pen is lifted horizontally as a strategy: the pen is lifted up and stroked straight, which is effective At the end of the stroke;
A long stroke is a sweep: the stroke is the same as a straight stroke, the front is slightly fatter, and the force must be delivered;
A short stroke is a peck: the stroke is left, fast and sharp Profit;
Stop the pen as a pen: Put down the pen lightly, fold the edge and spread the hair slowly, and the key to closing the edge is to be subtle.
In short, the word "Yong" has been hailed as the most mysterious and unpredictable word for thousands of years.
