画龙点睛是中国古代成语典故，出自唐代张彦远《历代名画记》。传说南朝画家张僧繇在墙上画龙，未点眼睛，旁人疑惑，他解释点睛即飞去。众人不信，结果他一点睛，龙立刻破壁腾空。现比喻在关键处着笔，使整体生动传神。
Adding the Pupils to the Drawn Dragon is a Chinese idiom originating from Records of Famous Paintings Through the Ages (Tang Dynasty). Legend says painter Zhang Sengyao drew dragons without eyes on a temple wall. When questioned, he warned: If I paint the pupils, they'll fly away. After adding the eyes, the dragons immediately came alive and soared into the sky. The phrase now signifies perfecting a work with one crucial touch.
