Ou Yangxun's Original Works _ Translation and Appreciation

Ou Yangxun (557-64 1), Han nationality, was born in Linxiang, Tanzhou (now Changsha, Hunan) in the Tang Dynasty, and was one of the four masters of regular script. Liang Taiping was born in Hengzhou (now Hengyang, Hunan) in the second year of the Southern Dynasty (AD 557), and his ancestral home was Linxiang, 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. 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". Ou Yangxun's anecdotes and allusions made him a teenager.

Ou Yangxun's grandfather Ouyang Li successively served as ambassador, commander-in-chief of Hengzhou Military Region, general Annan and general Cheung Nam. Ou Yangxun's father, Ouyang Yang, joined the army with his father at the age of 20, and was brave and good at fighting. Later, following in his father's footsteps, he served as commander-in-chief, commander-in-chief, commander-in-chief, commander-in-chief, commander-in-chief and so on. In the first year of Chen Kaiguo's reign (569), the emperor named him General Zuo because of his paranoia.

Ouyang Yu then rebelled against Guangzhou and was defeated and captured in the spring of the following year. Ou Yangxun was the only one in the whole family who escaped punishment, and everyone else was killed. At this time, Ou Yangxun was only 13 years old. In the following two months, the empress dowager died and granted amnesty to the world. Ou Yangxun escaped and was adopted by his father's good friend, General Jiang. Ou Yangxun lived with his adoptive father for more than 20 years and lived in Jiankang (now Nanjing, Jiangsu).

Officialdom career

In the first year of Yang Di Daye (605), Ou Yangxun was appointed as Doctor Taichang.

In the second year of Tang Gaozu Wude (6 19), Yu Wenhuaji claimed to be the son of heaven, and Ou Yangxun was also captured by him as a courtier.

In the third year of Tang Gaozu Wude (620), Dou Jiande captured Liaocheng, and Ou Yangxun was retained by Xia Guo, and was appointed as Taichangqing.

In the fifth year of Wude in Tang Gaozu (622), Li Shimin, King of Qin defeated Yuhu Prison in Dou Jiande and pacified Hebei. Ou Yangxun once again narrowly escaped death. Later, he was awarded the post of assistant middle school because of his close friendship with Li Yuan, the great ancestor of the Sui Dynasty. At that time, he was 65 years old.

During the prosperous Tang Dynasty, he moved to Guanglu, Yin Qing, where doctors, ministers, princes and bachelors were in Hong Wen Pavilion and in Bohai County, so he was also called "Ouyang Lingduo".

Ou Yangxun is not only a great calligrapher, but also a calligraphy theorist. He summed up eight methods of practicing and learning Chinese characters in his long-term calligraphy practice. Ou Yangxun's "Teaching brushwork", "On the use of brushwork", "Eight Methods" and "Thirty-six Methods" are all his own experiences in learning calligraphy, which specifically summarize the formal skills and aesthetic requirements of calligraphy, and are valuable heritages of calligraphy theory, China.

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; The mind is accurate and the density is accurate. 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.

Ou Yangxun's poems are warm, even warm. Just because my heart is in a daze, my face is completely round. -Don's "Laughing (Inquiring and Laughing)" and "Laughing (Inquiring and Laughing)"

Tang Dynasty: Ou Yangxun

Even the back of the rope is warm, and the crotch is afraid of cold. Just because my heart is in a daze, my face is completely round. Strong winds slow down arrows, but weak hands control strong bows. If you want to go up and down, you should go west and east. Ten times, I landed with my hands side by side. May I ask who did it? It should be the Duke of Song. -Tang Ou Yangxun's "Mocking Xiao Yu Shooting" mocks Xiao Yu Shooting.

Ou Yangxun in Tang Dynasty

Strong winds slow down arrows, but weak hands control strong bows. If you want to go up and down, you should go west and east.

Ten times, I landed with my hands side by side. May I ask who did it? It should be the Duke of Song. I have been confused by Kong and insulted by others. What is the glory of a stationery? Who promised seven words? If you don't get married, you will get lost in Jiangling language. Brother Diao killed Chen Houzhu by mistake. -Don Ou Yangxun's Tao Shi Tao Shi
