Eye Dotted Script

During the Southern Liang Dynasty, a famous painter named Zhang Sengyao was known for his incredible dragon paintings. He painted four magnificent dragons on a temple wall, but left their eyes unpainted, claiming that adding eyes would make them fly away.

Skeptical onlookers urged him to complete the dragons, so Zhang Sengyao finally agreed to add the eyes to two of them. As soon as he painted the pupils, a thunderclap shook the temple, and the two dragons with eyes burst from the wall, soaring into the sky and disappearing. The other two, still eyeless, remained on the wall, proving Zhang's claim true.

This is the story behind the Chinese idiom "畫龍點睛", which is "paint the dragon, dot the eyes".

What we have here is 畫符點睛 "write the symbols, dot the eyes".
