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)

Calligraphy or philosophy ?

According to ChatGPT, we have :

Name	The Eight Principles of Yong	The Eight Strokes of Yong
TLDR	8 core moral values which are the backbone of Chinese society	8 chinese strokes creating Chinese characters.
Chat GPT3	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: Ren (仁): benevolence, compassion, kindness Yi (义): righteousness, justice Li (礼): propriety, etiquette, ritual Zhi (智): wisdom, knowledge Xin (信): honesty, trustworthiness Shi (勤): diligence, hard work Xin (心): honesty, integrity 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: Duan (断): a straight stroke that is not quite vertical Heng (横): a horizontal stroke Pie (撇): a downward diagonal stroke that begins on the left Na (捺): a downward diagonal stroke that begins on the right Dian (点): a dot or small circle Ti (提): a lifting stroke that begins on the left Wen (汶): a lifting stroke that begins on the right 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.
