Epitaph of Emperor Gaozong's Concubine Geng, 15 July 514, Yanchang 3rd year, Zhigao: 43.5 cm, width: 38.5 cm, 18 lines, line 2 crosses, main book. In 1914, Luoyang Bei'an Driving Gou South was excavated, and it was once attributed to Dong Kang, Wujin Tao Lanquan, and Shangyu Luo Zhenyu. There is a re-engraving, and the word "description" in the twelve lines of "describing the scenery and making an inscription" is missing a little on the right. The rigorous calligraphy of this zhi is eye-catching, and it is a work with a sense of rhythm. The whole passage reveals the Jinjian style of the Northern Wei statues. The words in the work are strong, the sharpness of the pen, the truncation of the lines, and the strength of the triangular dots, picks, and waves make the whole full of tension. Each horizontal stroke to the upper right shows a sense of movement, similar to the "Zhang Raptor Monument" in the roughly contemporaneous period. The expression of the square posture increases the sense of power of the word, and the cleverness of the cloth white also makes the work more loose. The wave of the "big" characters in most of them is larger and more vigorous than the Tang Kai calligraphy. In addition, there are also strokes that stretch to the right long and long in the iconography, which can be called its characteristics. In the third year of Yanchang (514), there was also a "Yuanzhen Epitaph", which can be better understood as a work of the same year.
