Calligraphy characteristics of the four masters of regular script
Ou Yangxun's calligraphy is widely used by various schools, because it combines the characteristics of regular script in Han Li and Jin Dynasties, and also participates in the inscriptions in the Six Dynasties. The main features of Ou Yangxun's calligraphy style are rigor, neatness, honest and frank and vigor.
Yan Zhenqing's calligraphy is called Yan Style, which has its unique style and brushwork. There are many inscriptions left by him, and later calligraphers think that traces of "round pen" can be found in some of his inscriptions, which is different from other calligraphers' "Fang Bi".
Liu Gongquan's regular script involves Ou Yangxun's brushwork, and some strokes are often closely interspersed, which is particularly broad, fine and angular. Although the pen was written by Yan Zhenqing, it is different from Yan Zhenqing's vigorous and broad style, which is particularly heroic.
