(Liu Gongquan) Writing regular script makes you charming 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: "With a pen in your heart, your heart is always there." Mu Gong changed his face for this, just as his pen warned him. 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 mainly based on beauty, but it is rich and famous. "He began to learn Wang Xizhi's brushwork, and later he read the calligraphy in the modern style, 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 trend of horizontal and vertical, adopted a balanced and thin and hard technique, and steadily chased Wei Bei, making his brushwork simply beautiful, vigorous and tight. Many scholars in later generations took Liu Zi as a model.
