They had played a critical role in the development of Kai Fa in the early Tang Dynasty and had great and outstanding contributions to its development in various aspects. Master Ou Yangxun has established the structural mode for the calligraphy in the early Tang Dynasty; Master Yu Shinan generally carried forward the concept of brush using style when performing the calligraphy of the early Tang dynasty; while Master Chu suiliang, who integrated the above two Masters’styles, fused the cursive styles of“Two masters of Mr Wangs”into the regular script, which consummated the Kai Fa.
