Ou Yangxun, a famous ancient writer.

Ou Yangxun (557 -64 1 year), a native of Linxiang (now Changsha, Hunan) in Tanzhou in the Tang Dynasty, was a famous calligrapher and official in the Tang Dynasty and one of the four famous regular script writers. Sun of General Liang Zhengnan in the Southern Dynasties, son of General Ouyang Kun in the Southern Dynasties, was born in Hengzhou (now Hengyang, Hunan) in the second year of Liang Taiping in the Southern Dynasties (AD 557), and his ancestral home was Linxiang in Tanzhou (now Changsha, Hunan).

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".

He and Yu Shinan were both famous for their calligraphy in the early Tang Dynasty, also known as "Ou Yu". Later generations see danger in Chinese books, which is the most convenient for beginners and named "European style".

Representative regular script includes Jiuchenggong Li Quanming, Huangfu Birthday Monument, Huadu Temple Monument, and running script includes Zhong Nimeng's stippling and running script with thousands of characters. He has his own unique views on calligraphy, including eight methods of calligraphy works, teaching strategies, pen theory and thirty-six methods. Written by the inscription on the Buddhist pagoda of Huadu Temple, the tablet of Yu Gong Wen Yan Bo and the tablet of Huangfushengchen are called "the first regular script in Tang Dynasty".
