As we all know, regular script is mainly divided into European style, Yan style, Liu style and Zhao Ti style, as well as Chu style of Chu Suiliang and Yu style of Yu Shinan. Among these schools, there are a lot of Ou Kai studies.
Ou Yangxun's words are based on "Two Kings" and combined with the aftertaste of Han Li and Wei Bei's calligraphy, which can be described as learning from hundreds of schools of thought. At the same time, his stippling and pen use are mainly Fang Bi, occasionally mixed with round pens. His writing style is relaxed and natural, clean and neat, and his pen collection is slow and subtle. At the same time, it pays more attention to the coherent echo between stippling.
Therefore, the brushwork is flexible and vivid, and the structure is mainly slender, which is mainly manifested in the layout of the left and right. The font is tightened in the middle and most of it is expanded to the right. Therefore, the European style gives people the feeling that it is dangerous, calm, rigorous and almost impeccable. The more you look at it, the more you feel.

This book is vigorous and powerful. Although stippling is thin and hard, it is full of vitality, and it is implicit to pick up the pen and has the meaning of official script. The font structure is elegant and generous, and the French style is rigorous. It seems fair, but it is actually dangerous. The glyph is rectangular, with large characters and large spacing, and the composition is loose and clear.
The inscription of Jiucheng Palace often makes many beginners misunderstand. At first glance, it seems simple and easy to use. However, after writing for several years, I know that it is not easy to write the level of Ou Yangxun.
