It is said that Ou Yangxun once rode out and happened to see a stone tablet written by Suo Jing, a famous calligrapher in Jin Dynasty. He rode on a horse and watched it carefully for a while before leaving, but just a few steps later, he couldn't help but return to dismount and watch. He boasted many times that he didn't want to leave, so he simply laid a blanket and sat down to ponder over it. Finally, he sat by the monument for three days before leaving.

Ou Yangxun, together with his contemporaries Yu Shinan, Chu Suiliang and Xue Qi, were called the four masters in the early Tang Dynasty. Because his son Ouyang Tong is also good at calligraphy, he is also called "Big Europe". In the early Tang Dynasty, both Ou Yangxun and Yu Shinan were famous for their calligraphy, and they were called "random encounters". Later generations see the danger of Chinese books, which is the most convenient for beginners, and it is called "European style".
