Liu Ti's calligraphy works range from twenties to sixties. In the Song Dynasty, Zhao Mingcheng's "Jin Shi Lu" contained: In the seventeenth year of Zhenyuan (80 1), when Liu Gongquan was twenty-four, he had written the tablet "Hedong Sacrifice to Li Shuo"; This monument was written by Zheng Fei. The original stone was lost in Luoyang, but it is a young book of glory. In the fifteenth year of Yuanhe, at the age of 43, Liu Shu wrote "Zuo Changshi Xue Ping Monument"; In the fourth year of Changqing (824), at the age of 47, he wrote Da Jue Zen Master Taming and so on. Although these books have disappeared, it can be seen that his calligraphy skills in his twenties are still valued by the society, otherwise it will not be favored by these dignitaries. Before the age of 50, Liu's only works were Postscript to the Thirteen Lines of Luo Shenfu and Engraving the Diamond Sutra (Dunhuang edition) (see the introduction below). Thus, he learned the calligraphy styles of Hammer Cave and Wang Xizhi, and imitated the brushwork of Yu Shinan, Ou Yangxun, Chu Suiliang and Lu Jianzhi. According to Records of Jinshilu, Liu Gongquan's works after the age of 50 are: Nirvana and the Monk's Monument (5 1 year old), Li Sheng Monument (52 years old), Wang Bo Monument (53 years old), Epitaph of the Director-General (54 years old) and Bells in the Taiqing Palace (. After Liu was fifty years old, only the Li Sheng Monument, The Bell Tower in Hui Yuan of Datang and the Postscript of Moli were left, which showed the general situation of Liu Jieshu. Although he can see it and enter the country, it has not yet succeeded. Kang Youwei said: Liu Cheng hangs the tablet of the king of the day to learn the Yi Que Stone Temple without its thick spirit and physical fitness. When Gong Liu was in his forties, books were like this, so it was not easy for us to know ancient masters. Later generations called this monument, but those who don't understand its book also. ? If Liu Gongquan can't live to be a hundred years old, he won't become a giant in the book world before he is 60, although he has a good reputation.
Appreciating the beautiful picture of Liu's brush calligraphy In the ten years after the age of 60, Liu Shu has entered its heyday, just like a sunny day. There are nearly 20 monuments recorded in the literature of this period, such as Su Feng Monument, Jiao Jian Jinbulang Cui E Monument, Huainan Wei Jianjun Su Yuan Monument, Yiyang County Wangfu Phosphorus Monument, etc. Among them, the mysterious pagoda monument and the Shence military monument are typical of Liu style, and their reputation is the most prominent. Shence Army to Mystery Tower Monument and Shence Army Monument have been completed in Liu Ti. It changed the fat style in the middle Tang Dynasty, and it was deeply rooted, refreshing, fast and healthy, square and round, showing thin, hard and stiff lines between squats and exhibitions. so this is it？ Willow bone? (explained later). Between strokes, each has its own characteristics. The horizontal elders are thin and stretched, and the horizontal ones are short and strong. Vertical painting is thicker than horizontal painting, and it is the main pen, seeking its change; Its skimming, the elderly are light, while the short ones are heavy; Its stress must be heavy and show vigorous strength; Its hook, kick and pick must stop, and then quickly return to the front. Liu Ti's words are similar to those in Yan Zhenqing's book, balanced left and right, but long and powerful, with dense in the middle and sparse outside. In the overall book style, Liu Tiru? Yuanmen as a soldier, new sanitation? (Book Review by Cen Zongdan):? The calligrapher said that he was frightened, avoided Yi, and was hungry under the eagle (Wei Biao). It is not enough to say that he is anxious. (Wang Shizhen's "I Talk about Ikebukuro"). Liu's body is strict and his face is fat again. In order to be fresh, to be strong and straight, to be thin and hard, he learned the spirit. In the late Tang Dynasty, people appreciated Liu Ti with a new calligraphy style and its charming beauty.
