Liu Gongquan's Calligraphy Story

Liu Gongquan showed his love and talent for calligraphy from an early age. He once saw an old man without arms, with a big pen between his feet, writing freely.

The old man told him to write eight jars of water, and inkstone dipped in Mo Chi to woo hundreds of parents and let dragons and phoenixes fly. From then on, Liu Gongquan remembered the old man's teachings and worked hard to practice calligraphy, finally becoming a famous calligrapher.

Liu Gongquan's regular script The Diamond Sutra is one of his representative works. His calligraphy is famous for its rigorous structure, straight brushwork and full ink color. It is said that in order to practice calligraphy well, he ground thick cocoons on his hands and mended his elbows layer by layer. After hard training, Liu Gongquan finally became a famous calligrapher in China.
