Do you chase every rise and panic at every drop?
Don’t rush—you may be mistaking “a step back” for “a full reversal.”

Hua Jie guides you through Chan Theory in 100 days | DAY 05: Segments

Put simply:
A stroke is like taking one step; a segment is like walking a stretch of road.
When you walk, you move forward and back. To see which way you’re going, don’t focus only on the step right in front of you.

Remember these three points today:

Three strokes are the starting point—not a rule that says you’re done once you count to three.
The starting strokes must overlap—not just any three strokes can be connected.
Moving in the opposite direction doesn’t necessarily mean a reversal; one stroke back doesn’t mean the segment has changed.

The beginner’s diagram shows:
Upward: up—down—up.
Downward: down—up—down.

But a segment can continue to extend.
Its endpoint must be confirmed according to the rules for segment termination—not drawn wherever it feels right.

Studying strokes helps you see each step clearly.
Studying segments helps you connect several steps into a stretch of road.

Save this image. Before drawing a segment next time, ask yourself:
Do I understand the structure, or have I just counted to three?

Next time: Segment extension and termination.

Follow “Hua Jie Cycle.” One diagram a day to understand one structure.
