He is honest, clean and honest, has a sense of justice, never condescends to the powerful, condescends to flatter, and is famous for his benevolence and righteousness. His loyal and glorious deeds throughout his life improved his position in calligraphy.
When Yan Zhenqing was young, his family was poor and lacked paper and pens, so he used a pen to brush loess water to practice calligraphy on the wall. Chu Suiliang, a beginner, studied under Zhang Xu and four masters in the early Tang Dynasty. He not only accepted the seal script, but also accepted the writing style of the Northern Wei Dynasty, which made him unique. Contrary to the writing style of the early Tang Dynasty, he changed from thin and hard to full and vigorous, with great momentum. He is called "Yan Ti". Yan Ti has established his immortal status of regular script for thousands of years, and Yan Zhenqing is one of the influential calligraphy masters in the history of China calligraphy. His "Yan Ti", together with Liu Gongquan, is also called "Yan Liu" and has the reputation of "Yan Liu Jin Gu".
His "Yan Ti" regular script, together with Zhao Mengfu, Liu Gongquan and Ou Yangxun, is also called "the four masters of regular script". Also known as "strict care" with Liu Gongquan. [Edit this paragraph] During the Kaiyuan period (7 13-74 1), he was promoted to imperial academy, and was appointed to supervise the national history for four times and moved to the temple to serve the national history. Rejected by Yang, the powerful minister at that time, he was demoted to the plain (now Shandong) as a satrap. Known as Yan Pingyuan. During Su Zong's reign, Fengxiang granted the minister of constitutional affairs and moved to the imperial history. During the reign of Emperor Zong, the official department was the minister and the prince was the teacher. He was named Duke Lu, and people called him Duke.
In the 14th year of Tianbao (755), Pinglu, Fanyang and Hedong led an Anshi Rebellion. He contacted his brother Yan Gaoqing to arise and resist, and seventeen counties nearby were promoted to champions accordingly, with 200,000 troops, which made An Lushan afraid to rush to attack Tongguan. In the first year of Dezong Xingyuan (784), Li Xilie rebelled in Huaixi, and the traitor Qilu took the opportunity to borrow Li Xilie's hand to kill him, and sent someone to persuade him to be hanged by Li Xilie. Hearing that Yan Zhenqing was killed, the soldiers of the three armed forces burst into tears.
Six months later, the rebel general Li Xilie was killed by one of his own, and the rebellion was put down. Yan Zhenqing's coffin was escorted back to Beijing and buried in the Yanshi Ancestral Hall in Jingzhao for ten thousand years. Dezong painfully wrote a letter, abolishing the eighth day of North Korea, and the whole country mourned. De Zongqin issued an imperial edict, remembering Yan Zhenqing's life as "superior to Kuang Guo, loyal to the body, endowed with organic talents, outstanding public loyalty, loyal to the four dynasties, tired of being held hostage, tireless in death, observing its heyday and remaining in reality".

[Edit this paragraph] Yan Zhenqing is a descendant of a Langya family with profound family background. Yan Zhitui, the sixth ancestor, was a famous scholar in the Northern Qi Dynasty. He once wrote family instructions for Yan. When Yan Zhenqing was young, his family was poor and lacked paper and pens, so he used a pen to brush loess water to practice calligraphy on the wall. Chu Suiliang was a beginner, and later learned Zhang Xu's brushwork. He also absorbed the characteristics of the four schools in the early Tang Dynasty and accepted the brushwork of Zhuanli and the Northern Wei Dynasty. He completed the vigorous and broad creation of colorful regular script, which set a model for regular script in Tang Dynasty.
His regular script is contrary to the calligraphy style of the early Tang Dynasty, featuring brushwork. It is a typical example of perfect combination of calligraphy beauty and personality beauty. His calligraphy style is called "Yan Ti", which is also called "Yan Liu" with Liu Gongquan, and has the reputation of "Yan Liu Jin Gu".
Ouyang Xiu once said: "Yan Gongshu is like a loyal martyr and a moral gentleman. His aim is strictness and respect. People are scared at first sight, but the longer he is, the cuter he is. " There are many people who see treasure in the world, but they are not tired. "Zhu praised his book:" Point like a falling stone, painting like a cloud, hook like a bow, bow like a crossbow, depressed and ambitious. It has never been made public since it was dedicated. Yan Ti Shu has a far-reaching influence on the development of calligraphy art in later generations. After the Tang Dynasty, many famous artists learned from the success of Yan Zhenqing's political reform. Especially cursive script, after the Tang Dynasty, some famous artists learned from Yan Zhenqing and established their own style on the basis of learning from the two kings. Su Shi Ceng Yun: "As for poetry, as for writing, as for Han's retreat, as for painting, as for Wu Daozi, as for books, as for Yan, the changes of ancient and modern times can do everything in the world."
