The representative works of the four masters of regular script and their characteristics
The representative works and characteristics of the four masters of regular script are as follows:

First of all, Ou Yangxun:

Fiona Fang is practical and square, with a strong sense of stippling and cohesive brushwork. It is steep and rigorous. Keep the side stable, compact and sparse.

Ou Yangxun's representative regular script works include The Ritual Spring of Jiucheng Palace, Huadu Temple Monument, etc. His running script works also have many original works, such as Zhong Ni Mengdian Post, Running Script Thousand Characters, Shang Bo Post, etc.

Second, what are the characteristics of Liu Gongquan's calligraphy?

It is characterized by steep knot in the middle of the plane and symmetrical stippling. Some words will be slightly tilted to the left in the knot, and the composition will be arranged by the size and thickness of the font, which looks patchy. Above the brushwork, there are more pens and vigorous fonts, giving people a sense of clank. Liu Gongquan himself is an upright man, and his regular script well explains what "books are like people".

Liu Gongquan's representative works include Mysterious Pagoda Monument, Shence Army Monument, and Small Case Diamond Sutra. Among them, the most famous one is the mysterious pagoda stone tablet, and his running script "Letters to the Imperial History of Mongolia" is also a famous post that has been passed down through the ages.

Third, Yan Zhenqing.

Yan Zhenqing was a great calligrapher in the middle and late Tang Dynasty. His running script "Manuscript for the Sacrifice of Nephew" is called "the second running script in the world", and regular script is listed among the "Four Great Calligraphers".

The main representative works are multi-pagoda stele, Yan stele, temple stele and the story of Magu Xiantan in big characters.

Fourth, Zhao Meng _

Zhao Meng is the only calligrapher who is not in the Tang Dynasty among the four major regular script writers. He is also the most outstanding calligrapher in style. Zhao Meng was from the Yuan Dynasty. In his time, the "magnificent" style of regular script has reached its peak, leaving little room for future generations to explore. Therefore, Zhao Meng jumped out of the writing norms of the Tang Dynasty and explored the beauty of regular script, and made great achievements.

His representative works in regular script include Sanmen Collection and Miao Yan Temple Collection.
