  • The Radicals—what are they, and how to unlock their secrets
  • The Four Treasures of Calligraphy—the four essential tools to get started
  • Movements and Position—how to master your mind's focus, your breathing and even how to move
  • The Five Styles of Calligraphy—Zhuan Shu (seal), Li Shu (clerical), Kai Shu (regular), Cao Shu (cursive), and Xing Shu (running)
  • The Eight Strokes—how to draw the eight strokes; with them, you can write anything
