Who are the four great calligraphers?

1, Wang Xizhi, calligrapher of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. His calligraphy is known as "Yue Long Sky, Tiger Lying in the Phoenix Pavilion", which gives people a quiet aesthetic feeling. His calligraphy is round and dignified, easy to turn into music and tired of writing, which completely breaks through the brushwork of official script and creates a modern style of calligraphy. Wang Xizhi's writing style is beautiful and fluent, and he is respected as a "book saint".

2. Yan Zhenqing, the calligrapher with the highest achievement after Wang Xizhi was Yan Zhenqing in the middle Tang Dynasty, who was good at writing. On the basis of his predecessors, he created a solemn, clumsy and magnificent "face", and his representative works "Tower Monument" and "Sacrifice to a Nephew" were praised as "the second running script in the world".

3. Ou Yangxun was a calligrapher in the early Tang Dynasty. Books of all styles can be written, especially ICBC and Kay. The brushwork is dangerous, energetic, thin and hard, and the posture is fine and elegant, forming its own "European style".

Ou Yangxun's greatest contribution is the arrangement of regular script structure. Ou Yangxun summarized the construction methods of 36 regular script fonts and named them "Ou Yangxun 36 Methods". His research completely got rid of the irregular changes of unstable fonts and entered the level of modeling analysis and the mature concept of calligraphy structure. Only in this way can it really be established.

4. Liu Gongquan was a calligrapher in the late Tang Dynasty. Known for regular script. There is a folk saying that the word "Liu" is a thousand dollars. His calligraphy is bony, rigorous and powerful, and is known as "Liu Ti". Liu Gongquan and Yan Zhenqing are also called "Yan Liu" and "Yan Gu".
