Liu Gongquan (778-865), the last great calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty, was one of the four masters of regular script (Ou Yangxun, Yan Zhenqing, Liu Gongquan and Zhao Mengfu). Wang Xizhi, a beginner in calligraphy, later studied modern calligraphy, studied under Yan Zhenqing, absorbed his new ideas, and then got married and created his own unique Liu style, which is a model for later generations. 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". Liu Gongquan has many works handed down from generation to generation. The inscriptions handed down from ancient times include the Diamond Sutra, the Mysterious Tower Monument and the Su Feng Monument. Among them, the engraved version of Diamond Sutra, the mysterious pagoda monument and the Shence Army monument can best represent its regular script style.
