Ou Yangxun's running script and regular script are close to Wei Bei's in pen and structure. This is also the creative feature of some calligraphers, which is a close development, that is, regular script contains some obvious features and is deeply related.
In his later years, Ou Yangxun still used a clear pen, but because of his bald pen, his sharpness was not particularly exposed, which did not give people a sharp and sharp feeling. ?
Ou Yangxun's life experience.
According to historical records, Ou Yangxun was born in a very prominent bureaucratic family, and his grandfather held many important military posts, such as General Annan and General Cheung Nam. Ou Yangxun's father joined the army with his grandfather when he was an adult. He was brave and good at fighting. Later, he followed in his father's footsteps and also served in Guangzhou Secretariat.
However, during the reign of Chen Dynasty, the emperor began to doubt the power of their father and son, worshipped them as general Zuo Wei, and deprived them of military power. Unwilling to do so, Ou Yangxun's father directly occupied Guangzhou and began to lead the army against the rule of the Chen Dynasty. Unfortunately, he was defeated and captured in the second year, and Ou Yangxun was the only one in the whole family who escaped death.
At this time, Ou Yangxun was only thirteen years old. Fortunately, he met his father's good friend, was adopted by him, and lived with him in Jiankang.
Although he is a sponsor, Ou Yangxun's adoptive father is very kind to him. Besides, he is smart and studious, which is particularly outstanding compared with his peers.
Since he was a teenager, he has read many books and studied Historical Records and Hanshu. But he likes calligraphy very much, almost to the point of obsession.
There is a folklore that Ou Yangxun once rode out on business and happened to see a stone tablet written by a famous calligrapher in Jin Dynasty. He rode on a horse and watched it carefully for a long time before leaving, but just after stepping on it, he couldn't help getting off the horse and continuing to watch and appreciate it instead of leaving.
Finally, Ou Yangxun simply spread a blanket, sat down and pondered over it, and didn't leave until three days later. At that time, people admired his earnest study and praised him for his calligraphy.
