Liu Gongquan's calligraphy was famous in the Tang Dynasty, and there was a saying among the people that "one character of Liu is worth a thousand pieces of gold". His calligraphy is strong, rigorous and meticulous.


In terms of the characteristics of calligraphy, Wang Xizhi first studied and Yan Zhenqing later studied. He is famous for his thinness and strength. His regular scripts are vigorous and charming, with strong bones and roads. Running script and regular script are the most exquisite. Because of the unique characteristics of his works, Liu Gongquan's calligraphy is known as "Liu style".


"Lu Shiheng plays lianzhu" lianzhu is a kind of ancient Chinese literary style. It is a kind of parallel prose with small metaphors and reasoning. The fifty poems "Yan Lian Zhu" written by Lu Ji, a writer in the Western Jin Dynasty, are full of ingenious thinking, rigorous reasoning, and exquisite metaphors. They can be called the masterpieces of Lian Zhu style.
