The inscription on Liquan in Jiucheng Palace was engraved in April of the sixth year of Zhenguan (632), with 24 lines and 50 words (because the original tablet was damaged in Song Dynasty, the last line of words was completely illegible, so 49 words were wrongly engraved), and the inscription on Liquan in Jiucheng Palace was in block letters. Full text 1200 words.
Ou Yangxun (557-64 1 year), the author of The Inscription of Liquan in Jiucheng Palace of Tang Dynasty, was born in Linxiang, Tanzhou (now Changsha), Han nationality, and one of the four masters of regular script (Ou Yangxun, Yan Zhenqing, Liu Gongquan and Zhao Mengfu). Born in Hengzhou (now Hengyang) in 557 AD, his ancestral home is Linxiang (now Changsha, Hunan) in Tanzhou. Ou Yangxun's grandfather Ouyang Fa (498 ~ 563) was the general of Song of the Southern Liang Dynasty, and his father Ouyang Yao was the general of Chen Nan and Guangzhou. He was killed because he failed to send troops to attack Chen and implicated his family. Ou Yangxun survived at an early age and was adopted by his father's best friend. Ou Yangxun is smart and diligent, dabbling in classics and history, and having extensive knowledge and memorizing. During the Sui Dynasty, Ou Yangxun held the position of Doctor Tai Chang. Because of his friendship with Li Yuan, he moved to Yin Lu, a doctor in Tang Dynasty, a prince, a bachelor in pavilion, and a duke of Bohai, also known as Ouyang Lvgeng. Together with the other three contemporaries (Yu Shinan, Chu Suiliang, Xue Qi), they are called the four masters of the early Tang Dynasty. Because his son Ouyang Tong is also good at calligraphy, he is also called "Big Europe". Ou Yangxun is known as the first regular script in Tang Dynasty for his rigorous brushwork and precipitous brushwork. He and Yu Shinan were both famous for their calligraphy in the early Tang Dynasty, also known as "Ou Yu". Later generations saw danger in peace with their books, and Xi Zhi, the first one, was named "Ou Ti".
