Ouyang Xiu was good at writing letters. Su Dongpo once commented pertinently on the characteristics of his calligraphy: "Using a sharp pen and dry ink to make square broad characters, the spirit of hair, the cream is endless, and future generations will look at it, such as seeing his clear eyes and plump cheeks, and entering the yeruye." This passage not only clearly points out Ouyang Xiu's calligraphy, but also praises his appearance, which is really the so-called "book like his person".
This piece, also known as the "Shang'en Ti", was a letter written by Ouyang Xiu to Sima Guang in his later years. In this work, in addition to Mr. Dongpo's point out: "the glyph knot is wide and flat, the pen is sharp, and the pen is thirsty", you can also see the characteristics of stroke lines such as horizontal thinness and thickness, as well as the long and long skimmer pen. The meticulous use of the pen in the whole work, between the dot paintings, is meticulous, which fully reflects his character of attaching importance to the Fadu, which is the biggest feature of his calligraphy.

Li Dongyang inscription: Drunkards often hate to write books, and the road is to hold up the boat and rush the beach.

Prologue to the Spectrum (and inscription), on paper
Length 30.5 cm, width 66.2 cm. Collection of Liaoning Provincial Museum
Ouyang Xiu's "Preface to the Spectrum Diagram" actually includes the "Ouyang Clan Genealogy Sequence" and the "Overnight Stay in zhongshu Dongquan" seven laws and one song. It is known from the text that the former was written in the second year of Zhihe (1055), when the author was forty-nine years old, and the latter in the eighth year of Jiayou (1063), when he was fifty-seven years old.
In the volume, there are nine stacks of Zhuwen seals of the Song "Zhongshu Provincial Seal" and many seals of the Qingnei Province. At the end of the volume, there are inscriptions by Song Zhou Bida, Yuan Zhangyu, Ouyang Xuan, Ming Song Lian and others. The 8 characters of the "Right Ouyang Clan Genealogy Preface" on the left side of the calligraphy of the "Spectral Diagram Preface" are inscribed by Zhou Bida. The southern Song Dynasty minister Zhou Bi wrote three inscriptions in Chunxi Yiwei, and the right side of each inscription was stamped with the "Zhongshu Provincial Seal", which covered three pieces, and there was also the Ming Song Lian inscription In the volume: "Ouyang Gong's "Genealogical Chart Sequence", written in the second year of Zhihe Yiwei, one hundred and thirty-one years later, Pingyuan Zhou Yi Gongde Gong had a section of inspection and Jiayou Eight Sentences of the Zhongshu Dongge Poems, which were combined into one volume, and the poem Yin had the Yuling Out of the Cabinet recorded in the Zhongshu and did not abandon it, but attached to it, and each inscription was left, and the three who knew the Zhongshu Provincial Seal were recognized. The beginning of the volume is also known as the chapter of benefiting the country, and its prudence is the most important. "This volume was collected by Zhou Bida during the Southern Song Dynasty, and in the Yuan Dynasty, Ouyang Xiu's sixth grandson Ouyang Naixuan was obtained in Qiantang (present-day Hangzhou, Zhejiang), and it was passed on to his eighth grandson Ouyang Yanzhen, who entered the collection of the Inner House during the Qing Jiaqing period.
【Interpretation】 Since the chaos at the end of the Tang Dynasty, the scholar clan has lost its genealogy, and although many of the famous families of the Xianzu clan have lost their ancestry, the genealogy is abolished. The remnants of the Tang Dynasty often have those who hide their old genealogies, and the genealogies are not plotted. Will it be dead? Or was the past life simple and not prepared? Zheng Xuan's poetry spectrum is recorded in the history of Tai Shi Gong. Slightly up and down, the side line as a spectrum. The upper white high ancestor, the lower stop the grandchildren, and do not think of themselves. Let those who are not in the world inherit their ancestors, and their grandchildren be subordinate to their □. Farewell to the High Ancestors, and the Relatives of the Nine Tribes. Pushing up and down, we know where the source and flow come from; and if we list them from the sidelines, we see the number of descendants. Only many and long, it is bound to be divided, and the common sense of this thing is also. Therefore, whoever is a grandson who is different from the world, and whose name is his descendant, is the same as his ancestors, and the next is not related to his relatives. In this way, although there are many descendants, there is no chaos, and although the inheritance is far away, it is infinite. The method of this spectrum also.

Ouyang Xiu poetry appreciation

Butterfly love flower garden a little deep
The courtyard is a little deeper, the willows are piled with smoke, and the curtains are heavy.
Yule carved saddle you smelting place, the height of the building does not see Zhangtai Road.
Rain and winds frantically in the twilight of March, the door covers the dusk, and there is no way to stay in the spring.
Tearful eyes asked Hua Hua without saying a word, and the red flew over the swing.
Wave Taosha and toast the east wind with wine
Toast the wine to the east wind. And together.
Weeping Yang Zi Mo Luo City East.
It was always hand in hand at that time, swimming all over the fangs.
Gathering and scattering bitterness. This hatred is endless.
This year's flowers are better than last year's red.
Unfortunately, next year will be better spent, and I know who to share with.
