First, stippling is mainly based on Fang Bi, and iron painting is a silver hook, so it is indomitable and has the reputation of "like a halberd in an armory", but the world only knows its side, but it doesn't know its pen circle, which is angular and extremely sharp, which is a misunderstanding. Guo Zongchang's "Stone" said; "People all know that stationery has changed the Jin method, but they don't know how to tie a knot with a pen from Gu Li." The middle part of his calligraphy is extremely vigorous, but the hook angle is just right and rhymes;
Second, its structure is steep and tight, with the horizontal position leaning upwards and the vertical position leaning backwards, which belongs to the oblique drawing tight knot. Wang Wenzhi's "The Monument to the Fast Rain Hall" says: "Ouyang takes danger as the level and is extremely positive." It is precisely because of its inevitable risks that improper study can easily hurt elegance. Ou Yangxun's regular script seems strange, but it is actually positive, seemingly square, but actually round. Among the inscriptions on Ou Kai, especially the inscription on Liquan in Jiucheng Palace is particularly rigorous, because it is difficult to learn because it is a book. Mi Fei once said, "Ouyang is like a new patient, with a haggard face and hard work". Yu Gong Bei, also known as Wen Yanbo Bei, was written by Cen Wen. The whole monument has 36 lines, each with 77 words. The seal number is "Tang Dynasty dedicated to the right servant of Shangshu shooting the public and the public monument", which was written in the eleventh year of Zhenguan, when Ou was eighty-one. This tablet is easy to write in regular script, easy for beginners to use, and there are many copies, so I choose Jiaqing Neifu Collection. This volume is rich in pen and ink, tough and exquisite in paper. Later, Wang Shu, Weng Fanggang and Wang Wenzhi wrote this book. It was perfected in the Northern Song Dynasty, and now it is photocopied and published in Fu Zi for the benefit of calligraphy lovers.
Calligraphy theory, the "Eight Laws of Ou Yangxun", has unique opinions. Mason Lee's 84 laws in Ming Dynasty and Huang Zi's 92 laws in Qing Dynasty are instructive. Its "eight decisions" are: (points) such as the peak falling rocks; (Yoko) is like the new moon in the sky; (horizontal) like a thousand miles of clouds; (Vertical) Long live the withered vine; (Jiange) If Jinsong falls, it will fall on a cliff; (folded) like a crossbow of hosts; (left) If a sword breaks a rhinoceros horn; A wave of strokes is often repeated three times. Ou Yangxun studied Wang Xizhi's calligraphy style in his early years. It is said that he once spent a large sum of money to buy the Map of Gui Zhi for Wang Xizhi's godson and studied hard day and night. Later, he extensively studied the inscriptions in the Northern Dynasties, absorbed the strengths of some calligraphers at that time, and integrated them to form a vigorous and rigorous style.
