Calligraphy attainments
Xue Jixing and Uncle Kai first saw Shu Duan written by Zhang Huaiguan in the mid-Kaiyuan period and compiled it into Nengpin. They immediately said, "Shu Xue is a good scholar, especially beautiful and charming, and his flesh is half as good as his teacher's. It can be said that Henan is high and full, which was very precious at that time. " Du Fu once saw the inscription of Puzan Temple in three big characters, with vigorous brushwork. There was a poem "Watching Xue Shaobao's Painting and Calligraphy Wall", which praised the cloud: "Look up, it won't collapse. The three words are depressed and the dragons are entangled. " Dong Zeng's "Guang Chuan Shu Ba" inherited from the Tang Dynasty and regarded it as immediate successor of Chu family. In its seventh volume, there is a comment: "Learning is written in books, and Europe, Henan, Chu and Lu () are left behind, so they can follow the law. But he inherited the blood and was close to Chu. As for the fineness of the pen, I don't want to be a family. " "Slim with a pen" is a deliberate style of the times, especially for Xue Ji, whose cousin Xue Yao is even less plump. Ji calligraphy comes from Truman. Although it is novel, it can't be Shen Feng. However, because "the stone rat is super effective, it is too shameful to hide from the Sui and Zhu Dynasties", it has not been able to get rid of the scale of the Chu family and is unique. Ranked among the "four schools in the early Tang Dynasty", it is actually inferior. Therefore, those who are attached to Ji Ou, Yu and Chu and those who write books are all for even numbers! The existing Xinyi Zen Master Monument is Yue's masterpiece. In the second year of Shenlong (706), a monument was erected in Chang 'an.
Chu suiliang

The official reaches the official department of Shangshu, and the right servant of Shangshu shoots it. Later, he was banished to Ganzhou (now Viet Nam's Qinghua Province) as a secretariat for opposing Li Zhili's establishment of Empress Wu Zetian, and died a year later. Calligraphers Ou Yangxun, Zhiyong and Erwang, plus Han Li, know the most about the ritual tablet. This tablet is exquisite and elegant in calligraphy, and is famous for its fine thickness. Chu changed the official script into regular script, which made the calligraphy complete, beautiful and gorgeous, and was known as "green and graceful, invincible in Luo Qi". He was also good at identifying the original works of the two kings and was the authority at that time. The calligraphy works in circulation include Yi Que Buddhist Shrine Monument, Master Meng Monument, Preface to Wild Goose Pagoda, Classic of Big Characters, Square Monument, Ode to Dead Trees, Mourning for Emperor Taizong, Ni Kuanzan, and Qing Entertainment Epitaph.

He was born in the second year of Liang Taiping in the Southern Dynasties (AD 557).
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".

calligraphy theory
Professor formula
Every stroke should be in the right direction, with vertical and horizontal strength, with quiet and thoughtful embellishment. When judging the word situation, stop on all sides and prepare on all sides; Long and short fit, compromise thickness; Keep an eye on the process, not leaking.
I am honest. The least busy is the loss; Time can't be delayed, and if it is slow, it will be silly; Not thin, thin when dry, not fat, fat is turbid. The most important thing is to walk slowly and prepare yourself naturally. On July 12, the sixth year of Zhenguan, he asked for a book to pay Liang Nu for a plan.
Eight suggestions
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.
Yu Shinan
Yu Shinan (AD 558-638), a poet in the Tang Dynasty, was born in Yuyao, Zhejiang. Father Li Yu, brother Yu Shiqi and uncle Yu Ji all have the same fame. Yu Ji had no children and Shinan adopted him, so the word "Bo Shi" was used. Yang Di was an official in the Tang Dynasty. He was the secretary supervisor and bachelor of Hong Wen Pavilion. Shi Sui was appointed as the secret supervisor and was given Yongxing County, known as "Yu Yongxing" or "Yu Secret Supervisor" in the world. Awarded to Dr. Qingguang Road and Dr. Shi. Quiet and dull, concentrate on reading, and wash the comb when you are tired. The article is graceful and graceful, and it is famous because it is called servant shooting Xu Ling. In the sui dynasty, the official secretary lang did not move for ten years. After entering the Tang Dynasty, he joined the army as the archives of the Qin government and moved to Taizi Middle School. Emperor Taizong Jianyou, bachelor of Hong Wen Pavilion, secretary supervisor. Wen Yi's death. Emperor Taizong called it the five wonders of virtue, loyalty, erudition, literature and books. Wang Wei wrote in calligraphy: "A minister in the south of the Yangtze River was highly respected. Now his cloud is dead and there is no one in Shiqu Dongguan." His calligraphy pays equal attention to rigidity and softness, vigorous and powerful, and he is called "the four great masters in the early Tang Dynasty" with Ou Yangxun, Chu Suiliang and Xue Qi. His poetic style and calligraphy have the same effect, and the beauty is full of vitality. As a recent minister, there are many works at the banquet. His representative works include The Embankment, Jack's Youth's Field Journey, Mourning Songs, Bamboo Weaving for Linchi, Cicada, Wind and Surging Horn, etc. Among them, the last three poems about objects (namely, Give Bamboo to Linchi, Cicada, and Wang Wei Shi Ge Feng Ying Zhi) were written about bamboo, cicada and wind respectively, which firmly grasped the characteristics of poems about objects and portrayed them vividly. For example, the poem "Cicada" writes that cicadas drink clear dew, perch on the height of phoenix trees, and the sound is far away because of the height, not relying on the autumn wind, which means that a gentleman should be like a cicada. Thirty volumes are collected, and one volume of poetry is compiled today (Volume 36 of Complete Tang Poetry).
calligraphy
Yu Shinan's calligraphy has inherited the tradition of the two kings (Wang Xizhi and Wang Xianzhi), and his brushwork is full of harmony and elegance. Together with Ou Yangxun, Chu Suiliang and Xue Ji, they are called the four great calligraphers in the early Tang Dynasty. The Book of Books lists the advantages and disadvantages of his books, and comments on the cloud: "Xiao is scattered and scattered, and the grass is really obedient. For example, Luo Ji is in love with spring, and Eric is playing marsh, so he is above (Xiao) Ziyun." Duane listed his official and running scripts as wonderful works, saying that his book "has the macro rules of Daling (Wang Xianzhi) and contains five positive colors, showing its elegance, wisdom and courage." Spiritual practice is dangerous, everywhere; When I walk the grass, I am particularly biased. And its teeth to escape. "Shu Fu" says: "Yongxing transcends, writes like a god, never slacks off, and is not ashamed of the world." Volume 8 of Xuan He Shu thinks that Shinan's official book in his later years is after Wang Xizhi, and then he talks about Europe and Yu: "Yu is rigid and soft, showing his bones and muscles, and a gentleman hides things, and Yu is the best." In the Song Dynasty, Huang Tingjian praised his masterpiece "The Monument to the Confucius Temple" with a poem: "The Zhenguan engraving of Yu Shu Temple was bought with twenty-two thousand gold." Li Sizhen evaluated his books as "superior and inferior" in the book "Back".
Yu Shinan doesn't choose pen and paper to write a book, but pays great attention to sitting posture and wrist movements. He believes that as long as the posture is correct and the wrist is weak, even thick paper and bald pen can be handy and creative.
His works were rare in the Yuan Dynasty. In addition to posts, there are books handed down from ancient times, such as the tablet of Confucius Temple, the theory of breaking evil spirits, and running scripts, such as the epitaph of Princess Runan and the preface to Lanting. One of the Three Prefaces to Imitate the Tang Lanting was handed down as Yu Shinan's ink.
