Liu Gongquan is a summarizer and innovator of regular script. On the basis of learning and inheriting the regular script styles of Zhong You, Wang Xizhi and others, he read modern calligraphy, learned from Yan Zhenqing, absorbed his new ideas, and created his own unique "six-style" regular script, which was imitated by later generations and became one of the outstanding representatives of "Tang Shu Shang Fa".
His handwriting is even, thin and hard, and he pursues Wei Bei firmly. His stippling is crisp and beautiful, with thick bones and tight body. "Books are expensive, thin and hard, and the spirit is clear." Compared with his face, his regular script is slightly flat and thin, so it is called "Yan Gu".
Since the end of Tang Chaoyuan, Liu Gongquan's reputation has become higher and higher. Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty especially cherished Mo Bao of Liu Gongquan. Liu Gongquan was called to the front of the temple, and the military commander ordered Simon Xuan Ji to hold the inkstone, and the Tang Dynasty envoy Cui Juyuan wrote it. Liu Gongquan wrote the cross of "Mrs. Wei's brushwork" on a piece of paper with a real book. On a piece of paper, he wrote eleven words in the running script: "Yongchun Temple has a thousand words of calligraphy". On a piece of paper, I wrote "How can predicates help others?" Xuanzong gave him brocade, bottles and jars and other silverware. And let him write a thank-you letter, whether it is a real book or a cursive script. At that time, the minister's family set up a monument to his ancestors. If there is no inscription by Liu Gongquan, people will think it is unfilial. Moreover, Liu Gongquan's reputation spread far and wide overseas. When he went abroad to pay tribute, he specially prepared money to buy Liu Gongquan's calligraphy. Tang Wenzong once praised his calligraphy, even the rebirth of Zhong You and Wang Xizhi.
Today, the first choice for people to learn calligraphy is still Yan, Liu, Ou, Chu, Yu and other calligraphers in the Tang Dynasty, especially a set of regular script norms founded by Liu Gongquan, which is still an example for people to learn. Liu Gongquan made outstanding contributions to the reform and development of calligraphy art, summed up the development of calligraphy in the Tang Dynasty, and laid the foundation for the overall development of regular script.
