Start your daily calligraphy habit. Practice the timeless "Yong" character with just your finger, get an instant score, and share your masterpiece with friends! 8Strokes — Learn Chinese calligraphy and then turn your handwriting into a blessing card and send it to the people you care about. You'll practice one legendary character: Yong (永) — "eternity." This single character is the heart of the Eight Principles of Yong (永字八法), a method refined over more than a thousand years. What makes it remarkable: 永 contains all eight fundamental strokes found across the entire Chinese writing system — dot, horizontal, vertical, hook, rising, long left-fall, short left-fall, and right-fall. Master these eight, and you hold the building blocks to write virtually any Chinese character. Every time you finish, our smart engine grades your handwriting instantly — stroke, structure, balance, and flow — and shows you exactly where your writing shines and how to improve. Score high enough and you unlock the best part: turn your handwritten 永 into a beautiful blessing card. Pick a theme — classic rice paper, vermilion red, ink wash, or gold leaf — add a personal message, and send a handwritten blessing to your parents, family, or friends. Perfect for the New Year, birthdays, and any moment you want to say "I'm thinking of you." A real piece of your own handwriting means far more than a forwarded sticker. 【Features】 - Fingertip Calligraphy — Write naturally with a finger or Apple Pencil. The ink flows on your screen like a real brush on rice paper. - Instant Smart Scoring — Four-dimension feedback on every attempt: stroke accuracy, character shape, structural balance, and writing flow. - Send a Handwritten Blessing — Turn your 永 into a themed blessing card with a personal message. Share it via Messages, WhatsApp, WeChat, Instagram, and more — in one tap. - Replay Your Brushwork — Share a mesmerizing stroke-by-stroke animation of your character coming to life. - Trace Mode — Follow the reference strokes to build muscle memory before writing freehand. 【Contact & Support】 Website & Support: https://zywkloo.github.io/yong Privacy Policy: https://zywkloo.github.io/yong#privacy Practice one character.
