1 Yan Zhenqing
The Tang Dynasty was the heyday of calligraphy. When it comes to regular script, words must be called Yu, Ou, Chu and Yan. Yan Zhenqing is one of the great calligraphers with the most innovative spirit.
Yan Zhenqing (709-785) was born in Jingzhao Wannian (now Xi, Shaanxi). He comes from a noble family and is the fifth grandson of Yan Shigu, a famous scholar. Yan Zhenqing is honest and clean, and is famous for his loyalty and loyalty in officialdom. He used to be a veteran of the four dynasties, and his career was ups and downs, and he didn't care. Later, I was ordered to recruit me from Huaixi to make Li Xilie and Li Xilie rebel and was killed by Li.
Yan Zhenqing, the four great calligraphers in ancient China, learned his calligraphy from his own school, and Zhang Xu, a native of Wujun, was the enlightener of his transformation. Because he can choose one hundred schools at the same time, he can choose freely, leaving a lot of books and posts to show his skills. When Fan Wenlan, a historian, mentioned books in the Tang Dynasty in his works, he said that "Yan Zhenqing in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty was the creator of the new book style in the Tang Dynasty". Yan kaishu embodies a prosperous style and momentum; And his cursive script made Mi Fei in the Song Dynasty like the Four Books, because those book posts were often written in a state of extreme grief and indignation, and readers can appreciate the flavor from this article. Emotion is dissolved in art, and artistic talent breeds soul. Most excellent arts in history have not violated this standard.

Yan Zhenqing Duobaota Monument:
Yan Zhenqing, a genius in the book world. For thousands of years, only Yan can be compared with Wang Xizhi, the sage of books, and stride forward in the world of books. Of course, Yan Zhenqing was crowned as the crown in the Tang Dynasty, and Yan Shu was also regarded as the grand marshal in the Song Dynasty. Since then, Yan Zhenqing's book soul has formed a huge force and accumulated into an important part of China's book soul. "The Biography of Yan Zhenqing in the New Tang Dynasty" praised: "Although it has been 1,500 years, its heroic words are awesome and admirable!" The heroic life of the sun and the moon is an inexhaustible source of watering his wonderful calligraphy.
2 Liu Gongquan
Liu Gongquan, one of the four great calligraphers in ancient China, was born in the 13th year of Dali in Tang Daizong (AD 778) and in the 6th year of Xian Tong in Tang Yizong (AD 865) at the age of 88. Jingzhao Huayuan (now Yaoxian County, Shaanxi Province) was born. Official to the prince, deceased people call it "Liu". He began to learn from Wang Xizhi, the brushwork of Ou Yangxun and Yan Zhenqing, and then set up his own family. The regular script written is beautiful and strong. Compared with Yan Ti, Liuzi is slightly thinner, so it is called "Yan Liu Jin Gu". Mu Zong asked Liu Gongquan how to use a pen, and Gong Quan replied: "Use a pen in your heart, and your mind is right." "Mu Gong changed his face and remonstrated with his pen. In the Song Dynasty, Zhu Zai said: "The public power official book has the best operation mode, but the grass can't. "Its method is based on beauty, but it is rich and famous in the world." He began to learn Wang Xizhi's brushwork, and later read the modern calligraphy, so he tried his best to change the right army method, learn from Yan Zhenqing, and assimilate his new ideas, so that his calligraphy avoided the tendency of horizontal and vertical, adopted a balanced and thin and hard approach, and steadily chased Wei Bei, making his brushwork simply beautiful, vigorous and tight. Many scholars in later generations took Liu Zi as a model.
He was a 29-year-old scholar and served as a junior official in the local area. Later, Tang Muzong came across his handwriting. Once called to Chang 'an by the imperial court. Liu Gongquan was in his forties at that time. His character is both backbone and meticulous. Similarly, his handwriting also reveals this part of his characteristics. Because of this, his reputation and position in Chang 'an have been improved, and the general princes and nobles are scrambling to invite him with huge sums of money.
Calligraphy in the late Tang Dynasty experienced prosperity in the middle of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, but it also reached its peak and declined. Although Liu Gongquan's fame was popular for a while, he was still slightly better than Yan Shu. Calligraphy flourished in the Tang Dynasty, but now it has declined. Liu Gongquan's regular script involves Ou Yangxun's brushwork, and some strokes are often closely interspersed, which is particularly broad, fine and angular. Although the pen was written by Yan Zhenqing, it is different from Yan Zhenqing's vigorous and broad style, which is particularly heroic.
Liu Gongquan died at the age of eighty. He served seven emperors and finally died as the Prince of Shao Shi.

Liu Gongquan is another master of regular script after Yan Zhenqing in the Tang Dynasty, and is known as "Liu". Together with Yan Zhenqing's regular script, his regular script was called "Yan Liu Jin Gu" by later generations. He began to study Yan Zhenqing, then studied the calligraphy of Wang Xizhi's father and son and Ou Yangxun, and then set up his own family. Therefore, Liu Gongquan's regular script is mixed with Ou Yangxun's brushwork, and some strokes are often closely interspersed, which is particularly broad, fine and angular. Although his pen was written by Yan Zhenqing, it is different from Yan Zhenqing's vigorous and broad style and is particularly heroic. Liu Zixiu is vigorous, and this unique calligraphy style is called "Liu Style" by later generations. In the form of Mi Zige, this book explains the radical methods of Liu Gongquan's regular script. The book is divided into six parts: introduction of strokes, introduction of radicals, single words, compound structure, works receiving characters and representative works. This book is suitable for beginners of calligraphy of different ages.
