梁鹄是东汉末年著名的甘肃籍书法家，其一生经历了三个重要阶段：前期入选鸿都门学，以擅长书法而显贵；中期追随刘表，避乱荆州；后期归附曹魏，勤书自效。鸿都门学的设立，标志着汉末学术由重经学向重文艺的转变，梁鹄因此迎来了施展书法才艺的特殊机遇。汉末动乱虽然使梁鹄的人生跌宕起伏，但也使他不断地融入汉魏之际新的学术中心，书法技艺因此更加精湛成熟。其八分书如《孔羡碑》等，“笔尽其势”，代表了汉末魏初八分书的最高水平。“八分”体的单独命名，也与师宜官、梁鹄一派的成就和影响密切相关。

Liang Hu, a famous calligrapher of Gansu origin in the late Eastern Han dynasty, experienced three important stages in his life: In the early period, he was elected to Hongdumenxue and became eminence by his handwriting; In the middle period, he took refuge in Liu Biao to avoid chaos in Jingzhou; In the later period, he was attached to Cao Wei, writing diligently to show his loyalty. The establishment of Hongdumenxue marked the transition of academic focus from Confucian classics to Literature and Art in the late Han Dynasty，Liang Hu has thus ushered in a special opportunity to showcase his calligraphy skills. Although the turmoil in the late Han Dynasty caused unconstrained fluctuation in Liang Hu's life, it also made him continuously integrate into the new academic centers during the Han and Wei dynasties, making his calligraphy skills more exquisite and mature. His BaFen handwriting such as the Kongxian stele shows powerful momentum, representing the highest level of BaFen handwriting in the late Han Dynasty and the early Wei Dynasty. The separate naming of the BaFen genre is also closely related to the achievements and influence of Shi Yiguan and Liang Hu.
