Yan Zhenqing has a very high position in the history of calligraphy in China. He can be said to be the second calligraphy peak after Wang Xizhi. The main reason is that he perfectly inherited the calligraphy characteristics of the early Tang Dynasty and the prosperous Tang Dynasty, and also absorbed the essence of the Qin and Han Dynasties tablet school to a certain extent, and integrated the models of famous artists in previous dynasties to form his own family.
It is precisely because of the appearance of Yan Zhenqing that he broke the calligraphy atmosphere for 400 years since the "two kings" in the Jin Dynasty and developed a special and atmospheric calligraphy style, which has continued to this day. Yan Zhenqing, Ou Yangxun, Liu Gongquan and Zhao Mengfu are also called "four masters of regular script", but later generations have studied Yan calligraphy the most profoundly.
