Tips on Chinese Calligraphy Strokes

A pre-recently we have covered some Chinese character strokes. So namely they are "dian", "heng"; "shu", "pie"; "na". So that horizontal, vertical; left slant and right slant strokes. So example for "dian" and since we covered some letters; some numbers here we have number 6 that use 3 dots, 3 "dian". And horizontal and vertical together makes the number 10 and then we have 7 that starts with a horizontal and then a vertical with a bend. And 8 is a good example for both "pie" and "na"; left slant and right slant strokes. So that's left and right strokes; right slant strokes, that's 8; "ba", "liu"; "shi", "qi"; "ba" and here next we are going to talk about more strokes that's; we have 1 2 3 4 5 here and the basic strokes in Chinese characters we use 8 of them, so 3 more strokes. But these 3 more strokes in different angles could be a little bit more introduction than these basic strokes that we covered then; "dian", "heng"; "shu"; "pie", "na".
