Ouyang Xun's regular script is unparalleled in the world for his rigorous writing style and powerful writing skills. He is known as the best regular script among the Tang Dynasty people. Although the small regular script of this Heart Sutra may have been forged by others (it has always been regarded as an authentic work, and is tentatively regarded as a work by Ouyang Xun), it is also unique and interesting. There is simplicity in elegance, solemnity in simplicity, joy in solemnity, and meticulous craftsmanship in writing. Even if you are clumsy, you can feel at ease if you concentrate on it.
The solemnity and loftiness of the Wei stele are the basis of many calligraphers of later generations, such as Ouyang Xun, who restrained the Wei stele just right, but the bones are extremely tall, but the inside is actually extremely gorgeous!
Reading this post carefully is like a scholar lying down and listening to the clear spring. Seeing it every day can calm the mind and calm the mind, like sandalwood.
Ouyang Xun (557～641)'s calligraphy inherited from the Wei and Jin Dynasties, and created his own style based on the simple, maojun and neat styles of the Six Dynasties. He uses the pen from the ancient official script, so it can be dignified and composed, and the turning points are clean and neat; the structure is tight, square and vigorous, with an extremely serious demeanor, and in the grace and magnanimity, there is a sense of danger. The characteristics of European books can be summarized by the word "dangerous strength". The title of Ouyang Xun's books had spread far abroad at that time. He, together with Yu Shinan, Chu Suiliang, and Xue Ji, were known as the "Four Masters of the Early Tang Dynasty", and his calligraphy style was called "European style"; Zhao Mengfu is also known as the four masters of regular script. Calligraphy was at its peak in the Tang Dynasty, and anyone writing in regular script would be called Yu, Ou, Chu, or Yan.
Ouyang Xun's greatest contribution was his arrangement of the structure of regular script. It is said that Ouyang Xun summarized a total of thirty-six structural methods for regular script fonts, called "Ouyang Xun's Thirty-six Methods".
