欧阳询与唐代初年楷书典范形态的确立

Ouyang Xun and Regular Script Paragon in Early Tang Dynasty

南北朝后期、隋及唐代初年,重视法度、融合南北创立新体楷书的典范形态成为书法发展主导趋势,欧阳询是其杰出代表.欧阳询诸体兼善而以楷书成就最高,他以南朝二王书法为基础,吸收北朝书法在点画书写、单字结构上的成就,创作出以《九成宫醴泉铭》等为代表的楷书典范作品,使新体楷书达到完全成熟的形态.与欧阳询大致同时还有虞世南、褚遂良等楷书名家,共同确立了唐代初年楷书的典范形态,在中国书法史上产生了巨大而深远的影响.

From late Southern and Northern Dynasties to Sui and early Tang Dynasty, the dominant trend of Chinese calligraphy was to create a new type of regular script by laying emphasis on standards and combining southern and northern styles. Ouyang Xun, the outstanding representative, was skillful in all kinds of script styles especially in regular script. Based on southern style represented by Wang Xizhi ＆ Wang Xianzhi, Ouyang Xun＇s calligraphy assimilated many achievements including technique of writing and character structure from northern calligraphy. Then he completely matured the new type of regular script by creating a series of model works such as the Stele in the Jiucheng Palace. With contemporary calligraphers like Yu Shinan and Chu Suiliang, he established the regular script paragon in the early Tang Dynasty, which has had a profound effect on the history of Chinese calligraphy.
