I. Introduction to Jiuchenggong Liquan Ming:
This work is slender, the middle palace is tightened, it is open on all sides, and it is left and right, which saves the day. The glyph is shaped with the trend, and the left and right structures are opposite. The upper and lower structures are narrow and wide, the shelves are stable and the weather is solemn.
Its white cloth is uniform, spacing and row spacing are sparse, which is the most accurate among the nine palaces. The whole tablet is smooth in blood and bleak in charm, which best represents the characteristics and style of "European style" regular script. Later people called it "the best regular script in the world".
