Liu Gongquan is a summarizer and innovator of regular script. On the basis of learning and inheriting the regular script styles of Zhong You, Wang Xizhi and others, he read modern calligraphy, learned from Yan Zhenqing, absorbed his new ideas, and created his own unique "six-style" regular script, which was imitated by later generations and became one of the outstanding representatives of "Tang Shu Shang Fa".
His handwriting is even, thin and hard, and he pursues Wei Bei firmly. His stippling is crisp and beautiful, with thick bones and tight body. "Books are expensive, thin and hard, and the spirit is clear." Compared with his face, his regular script is slightly flat and thin, so it is called "Yan Gu".
