China's calligraphy is extensive and profound. Judging from its types, there are many kinds of calligraphy, such as seal script, official script, regular script and running script.
But what is closest to our life and most easily accepted by the public is pushing regular script.
Ou Yangxun lived from Sui Dynasty to Zhenguan period in Tang Dynasty, at the age of 85, and he was a long-lived old man.
He, Yan Zhenqing and Liu Gongquan are also known as the four masters of regular script.
In addition, he is also known as the four masters of the early Tang Dynasty with Yu Shinan, Chu Suiliang and Xue Ji.
There are many stories about Ou Yangxun's hard writing.
Once, he rode out and happened to see a stone tablet on the side of the road.
The inscription on this stone tablet is not unknown to passers-by, but Suo Jing, a calligrapher of the Jin Dynasty.
At the moment, Ou Yangxun was shocked by the power of traveling through time and space, just like being electrified all over.
First, he lingered on horseback for a long time, and finally he could hardly resist dismounting and studying it carefully.
After reading it for a long time, he still didn't want to leave. He just spread a blanket and sat in front of the stone tablet and meditated.
This sitting is three days and three nights.
There is no doubt that Ou Yangxun, who grasped the essence of Suo Jing's calligraphy in three days, is a child prodigy.
This point is also directly praised in the history books, saying that he is "sensitive to others."
Although very talented, Ou Yangxun's concentration and efforts in practicing calligraphy are unmatched by others.
