Ouyang Qing (557-641 AD) was born in 557 AD in Hengyang, Hunan Province, and his ancestral home was Changsha, Hunan. The official position was more ordered for the prince rate. Ouyang Qingkai's calligraphy is rigorous, his pen strength is precipitous, and he is unparalleled in the world, and is known as the first Tang Dynasty calligraphy. He and Yu Shinan were known for their calligraphy in the early Tang Dynasty. Later generations called it "European Body" for its book "Seeing Danger in the Middle of Peace".
Ouyang inquired about Xiaokai's "Li Yu's Epitaph" anti-white amplification appreciation:
The first sentence of the epitaph is "public honor, the word Anyuan", so the name of the epitaph is "Li Yu's Epitaph", which can also be called "Li Anyuan's Epitaph". The owner of the epitaph is Li Yu, and Qiu Shi are both famous ministers of the Founding Of the Tang Dynasty, so it is not surprising that the epitaphs of the two were written by Ouyang Qinggong.
Compared with Mr. Ouyang's most famous "Jiucheng Palace", this Zhi calligraphy, as the pinnacle of Ouyang's later years, is more open, flexible, vivid and more old-fashioned. If "JiuchengGong" is full of low-key rational colors, then "Li Yu's Epitaph" has more perceptual factors for Ouyang Que to interpret his personal style, and the small characters of wanton and Juanxiu are full of danger, quaintness and vigor.
At the time of writing this epitaph, Ouyang Was already an elderly man. At this moment, writing an epitaph to others should have a lot of feelings in my heart.
In this way, he held the brush with his shoulders and shrunk his back, and wrote this wonderful calligraphy with great strength. Shortly after writing, this famous calligrapher, who was later called "the first calligrapher", also passed away at the age of 84.
