- In Chinese calligraphy, the harmony between the hand and eye is not called 协调 (coordination) but is often described as 心手相相应, meaning the 'heart and hand respond to each other'.
- In the context of martial arts, the concept of hand eye coordination is often expressed as 眼手合一, which literally means the 'eye and hand become one'.
