Confucius said, "Sixty is pleasant to the ear, seventy is satisfactory, and it doesn't go beyond the limit." Yan Zhenqing also reached this level in his later years. He has a thorough understanding of life and calligraphy in reflection, and has a thorough understanding of the philosophy of life and calligraphy, so his paintings are mottled with blood and tears of life, and are full of life carols in the movement of pen and ink; It not only fills a cavity of pride in the ups and downs of the lines, but also inspires personality brilliance in the dense white! At this point, his book is like an ancient forest, but it has dense flowers and buds. A book full of anger, a thousand schools of thought contend.
Ouyang Xun
Ou Yangxun (557-64 1), a native of Linxiang (now Changsha, Hunan) in Tanzhou in the Tang Dynasty, was a famous calligrapher and official in the Tang Dynasty, one of the four masters of regular script, the grandson of Ouyang Li, the general of South Liang Zhengnan, and son of the general, the southern Chen. 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".

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 Buddhist monk Huadu Temple Pagoda Inscription, Gonggong Wenyanbo Monument and Huangfushengchen Monument are called "the first regular script in the Tang Dynasty".
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.
