Brief introduction to the contents of Ou Yangxun's regular script 36 methods
Introduction to the contents of Ou Yangxun's regular script 36 methods: According to legend, it was written by Ou Yangxun, a calligrapher in the Tang Dynasty. But in fact, this article on the basic elements of regular script structure was not written by Ou Yangxun, and some words were obviously written by people after the Song Dynasty. For example, Article 29 talks about "Mr. Dongpo's Day" and quotes Su Shi's famous saying that "big characters are hard to bind, and small characters are hard to be generous." Secondly, Article 33 also says that "those who study European style tend to write long and narrow words, so the method wants to be neat and closely connected", which is the conclusion drawn by later generations from studying the structure of Ou Yangxun's regular script, and it is also the biggest common fault for later generations to learn Ou Yangxun's regular script. Ou Yangxun's thousand-character calligraphy handed down from generation to generation conforms to the characteristics of Ou Yangxun's calligraphy in terms of stippling, brushwork and structure, and it is a slender font, but Ou Yangxun's running script "Montitie in Zhong Ni" is not so. Zhong Ni Montitie not only maintains the vigor of Ou Yangxun's regular script, but also has the elegant feeling of "two kings' calligraphy", which is far from the pseudo-Ou Yangxun's "thousand-character writing".
