Judging from his poems and records of later generations, Dong Qichang, Liu Gongquan, Prince Cheng and He Liang had a great influence on Qigong calligraphy.
The calligraphy of these people has a common feature: the emperor likes it.
Zhao Meng and Dong Qichang were two of the most respected calligraphers in Kanggan period. They are the starting point of the formation of the pavilion style in the Qing Dynasty and the necessary calligraphy style for the national candidates.
Ou Yangxun and Liu Gongquan belong to the four masters of regular script, which is actually the standard course of pavilion. They first learn Yan body to practice brushwork, then practice Liu body's strength, then practice the structure of European body, and finally practice Zhao Ti's fluency. After four steps, it's almost time for the imperial examination.
Liang was a flower explorer in the eighth year of Yongzheng, and the last flower explorer in the history of China. Both of them studied under Dong Qichang, including Prince Cheng. In other words, both of them epitomized the cabinet style.
It can be seen that pavilion style has the greatest influence on Qigong calligraphy. In fact, there has been no breakthrough in his life, but fortunately, he has been posting all over the country in his later period, which has profound cultural support.
