Yong (Chinese: 勇; pinyin: yǒng; Wade-Giles: yung) is the Chinese word for "courage" or "brave" as an adjective; "soldier" as a noun.
Yong (Chinese: 永; pinyin: yǒng; Wade-Giles: yung) can also mean "permanence". It is also unique in that the single character contains eight strokes common to Chinese characters. An explanation for how to write the eight strokes is found in the Eight Principles of Yong.
