Well, this doesn't take much to investigate. It's just an animation of the calligraphy. No, it isn't spam. --Menchi 00:45, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)

The "Eight Principles of Yong" (aka "Eight Virtues of Yong", "Yongdao", 永道) are a set of ethical values that have been traditionally held in high regard in Chinese culture. These values are:

  1. Ren (仁): benevolence, compassion, kindness
  2. Yi (义): righteousness, justice
  3. Li (礼): propriety, etiquette, ritual
  4. Zhi (智): wisdom, knowledge
  5. Xin (信): honesty, trustworthiness
  6. Shi (勤): diligence, hard work
  7. Xin (心): honesty, integrity
  8. Shou (寿): longevity, a long life

These principles are often associated with Confucianism, a philosophical tradition that emphasizes the importance of moral values and virtues in creating a harmonious society.

The "Eight Strokes of Yong" (aka Yongba, 永八) are a set of eight basic brushstrokes that form the foundation of Chinese calligraphy. These brushstrokes are:

  1. Duan (断): a straight stroke that is not quite vertical
  2. Heng (横): a horizontal stroke
  3. Pie (撇): a downward diagonal stroke that begins on the left
  4. Na (捺): a downward diagonal stroke that begins on the right
  5. Dian (点): a dot or small circle
  6. Ti (提): a lifting stroke that begins on the left
  7. Wen (汶): a lifting stroke that begins on the right
  8. Rou (揉): a curving stroke

These brushstrokes are used to form the basic structure of Chinese characters and are essential for anyone learning Chinese calligraphy.

Maybe we should investigate this avenue. Yug (talk) 16:14, 4 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
