"Inquiring about the eight-body style, the brushwork is dangerous, the printing body is very thin, and the flying white is the best, steeper than the ancients. Like a dragon and snake fighting, the clouds are light and the wind is light. The wind whirls and thunders like a god. The decay of the true line comes from the big order, so don't become one. As dense as an armory spear and halberd, Shen Feng is stricter than wise water and less polished than Shinan. Its cursive script is circulated, which can be regarded as two kings. It can be used as a dynamic color, but it scares him to jump, does not avoid danger, and hurts elegance. "
Yu Shinan said that he "can get what he wants without choosing a pen and paper". Besides, he can write a good official script. In the fifth year of Zhenguan, the tablet of Xuzhou Cishifang was his official script. His calligraphy, with official script as the most. Examining its pen, it is both round and powerful. "Surprised in the grass, sending between clouds. Another example is King Kong glaring and Lux punching. " Among them, strokes such as vertical hook are still official strokes. The inscription he wrote on the Buddhist stupa of Huadu Temple, the inscription on the grandfather Wen Yanbo and the inscription on Huangfu's birthday are called "the first regular script in the Tang Dynasty". His regular script has a very serious procedure, both in pen and structure, which is most convenient for beginners. The Thirty-six Methods of Ouyang's Structure, which was circulated by later generations, is a structure writing method summarized from his regular script. His regular script "Zhang Hansi Sticking Bass" is long and vigorous. Ink handed down from generation to generation is especially precious. Ou Yangxun's son Ouyang Tong has a family of calligraphers. Both father and son are very famous in the book world and are called "Ouyang". Xiao Ouyang's "Taoist Monument" has a stronger sense of propriety, but it is too revealing and implicit.
Ou Yangxun's calligraphy was famous in the world as early as the Sui Dynasty, and spread abroad. When I entered the Tang Dynasty, people and books were old and perfect. However, Ou Yangxun himself was not satisfied with his achievements, and he continued to learn and improve.
On one occasion, Ou Yangxun went out for sightseeing and saw an inscription on Cao Zhang written by Suo Jing, a calligrapher in the Western Jin Dynasty. After reading it several times, he thought it was average. But on second thought, since Suo Jing is a generation of calligraphers, his books will also have their own characteristics. Why not let me get to the bottom of it? So I stood in front of the monument and looked at it several times, only to find the profound and wonderful place. Ou Yangxun sat down beside the stone tablet and groped for three days and nights. Ou Yangxun finally realized the spirit of Suo Jing's calligraphy pen, so calligraphy became more perfect.
There are Mo Bao's posts, Zhang Hansi's posts, Meng Diantie's and Qian Hangshu's. Among them, Meng Diantie has a variety of structures, which can best show the strength, danger, sharpness, spear and halberd of European books. The inscriptions written by Ou Yangxun are handed down from generation to generation as follows: ① Inscription on Liquan in Jiuchenggong. The tablet was erected in the sixth year of Zhenguan (632) to write for his later years. The inscription is solemn and solemn, and the statutes are strict. Because of its strong brushwork, strong fiber and rigor, it has become a model for learning calligraphy. (2) Huangfushengchen Monument, built in the early years of Zhenguan, has thin and hard strokes and rectangular characters, which fully displays the preciseness of European books in the process of creating momentum. (3) Taming, a Zen Master with Four Uses in Hua Du, founded in the fifth year of Zhenguan, was Ou Yangxun's masterpiece in his later years. The handwriting is smaller than other inscriptions in European books, and the calligraphy is quiet and vigorous, rigorous and elegant, and has a unique style in finishing. The original stone has long been lost, and there were many pirates in the Song Dynasty. Some people think that the remnants found in the Buddhist scriptures in Dunhuang Mogao Grottoes are early pirated copies. (4) "Yu Gong Wen Yan Bo Monument" was established in the eleventh year of Zhenguan. At this time, Ou Yangxun was 80 years old, but his calligraphy was still excellent. Although the tablet is full of words, we can still see the characteristics of caution and vitality from the intact words. Inscriptions in Ou Yangxun Lishu include Zongshengguan Inscriptions and Square Inscriptions. The calligraphy of the square tablet is between Kai Lee and Kai Lee, which is compact and vigorous, has the style of worshipping the tablet, and shows its origin. According to legend, Ou Yangxun has Preface to Lanting Collection, and Dingwu's Preface to Lanting Collection was written according to the inscription in the European edition. There are heart sutra, nine songs, thousands of words, etc. Ou Yangxun handed down in small letters, but it is difficult for later generations to determine the authenticity of rubbings.
1, Inscription of Liquan in Jiuchenggong: Regular script is Ou Yangxun's representative work and is often used as a model for learning European books. Wei Zhi wrote an article in which Emperor Taizong lived in Zhenguan for six years. A monument was erected. Calligraphy is rigorous and vigorous, and does not take a posture.
2. The full name of Yugong Gongbei is the official document of Yugong Gongbei, also known as Wenyanbo Gongbei, which was written in regular script at the age of 80. In the 11th year of Zhenguan in Tang Dynasty (AD 637), a monument was erected.
3. The full name of Huangfu Birthday Monument is Huangfu Prince Monument, which was written by Dr. Zuo Guanglu of Sui Dynasty. Also known as Huangfujun tablet.

4. The full name of the pagoda Ming of Huadu Temple is the pagoda Ming of the monk of Huadu Temple:
Regular script is Ou Yangxun's masterpiece, which was written in the fifth year of Zhenguan in Tang Dynasty (AD 63 1).
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.
