I think the story of calligrapher Liu Gongquan impressed me deeply. I want to talk about this story from the following points.

Tang Wuzong was angry with a female official in the palace for a long time. Later, he called her in and said to Liu Gongquan, "I am very dissatisfied with this person. I won't blame her if I can get one of your works. "

So he handed him dozens of pieces of paper made in Shu County and put them on the imperial case. Without thinking, Liu Gongquan immediately wrote a quatrain: "Regardless of the past, I have always been willing to stand alone in Nagato. But now the king has taken care of him and went back to the pepper room to wipe his tears. " The emperor was very happy, and gave him 200 pieces of brocade, and asked the female official to come forward to thank him.

2. Take the pen as a warning

Tang Muzong is dissolute and eccentric in management. He once asked Liu Gongquan how to use a pen perfectly. Liu Gongquan replied: "The method of using a pen lies in the heart, and the regular brushwork is naturally perfect." Mu Zong changed his face and realized that he was admonishing him with brushwork. In the Song Dynasty, Su Shi once said in a poem, "Why do you want to see sincerity when you preach family law in a hurry?"

3, three steps.

Liu Gongquan visited Weiyang Palace Garden with Tang Wenzong. Wenzong stopped the car and said to Liu Gongquan, "There is one thing that makes me happy. Clothes used to be sent to border guards were often not timely, and now spring clothes are sent in February. " Liu Gongquan came forward to congratulate. The literati said: "I just congratulate you, but I can't express my thoughts clearly." You should write a poem to congratulate me. "

Imperial secretary urged him to read it to literate Sect himself. Liu Gongquan replied: "Although there was no war last year, I did not return this year. How can I repay the kindness of the emperor? I get spring clothes in spring. " Wenzong said happily, "Cao Zijian has seven steps in reciting poems, and you only need three."

Personality influence

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, while the Tang Dynasty envoy Cui Juyuan took the pen. Liu Gongquan wrote the cross of "Mrs. Wei's brushwork" on a piece of paper with a real book.
