Which calligrapher's handwriting is Jun Li Guli Jinjian?
Liu Gongquan's calligraphy is famous for regular script. He learned from Wang Xizhi at first, and later visited the famous calligraphers in the Tang Dynasty. He absorbed Yan Zhenqing's strengths and new ideas, and created his own unique "Liu Ti", which was famous for its infinite strength and was later known as "Yan Gu". It is also called "Yan Liu" with Yan Zhenqing, and "four masters of regular script" with Ou Yangxun, Yan Zhenqing and Zhao Mengfu.
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.
