After reading Qi Baishi's Lotus Dragonfly, I feel 100 words.

Qi Baishi (1864- 1957), a native of Xiangtan, Hunan Province, was a master of Chinese painting in the 20th century, one of the top ten painters in the 20th century and a world cultural celebrity.

At the age of seventy-four, he went to Shu and met Huang and Jin Songcen.

Artistic style and ideas

Qi Baishi advocates that art is "between similarity and dissimilarity"; Painters in his later years include Fa, Shi Tao and Wu Changshuo. Formed a unique freehand brushwork style of Chinese painting, they started a school of red flowers and ink leaves, especially fruits, vegetables, flowers, birds, insects and fish, with famous figures and landscapes, and enjoyed the reputation of "Southern Wu and Northern Qi" with Wu Changshuo. With its simple folk art style and traditional literati painting style, it has reached the peak of modern flower-and-bird painting in China. Ding Jing and Huang studied seal cutting at first, and then Zhao? Uncle, and take French, Chinese and Indian; See "Sangong Mountain Monument" and "Tiantan Monument". The seal cutting method is changing again and again, and the printing style is magnificent and unrestrained, which is a representative figure in the evolution period of modern printing style. His calligraphy is widely spread in inscriptions, and he once lived in He, Jin Dongxin and other places, especially in seal script and running script. Poetry does not ask for work, has no meaning of Tang and Song Dynasties, learns from nature, has a clever brushwork and has a unique style. His painting and printing poets call it the four musts. I have worked hard all my life, worked tirelessly, earned my own living, and have high moral character, especially national integrity. He left more than 30,000 paintings, more than 3,000 poems, self-reports and other manuscripts, and wrote many volumes. His works have been printed repeatedly in various forms.

Artistic Features of Qi Baishi's Works

Qi Baishi was greatly influenced by Chen Shiceng in painting art, and he also learned from Wu Changshuo. He specializes in flowers and birds, and his pen is full of ink. But drawing insects is meticulous and extremely fine. He also praised Xu Wei, Zhu Da, Shi Tao and Jin Nong. Shrimp, crab, cicada, butterfly, fish, bird and ink are especially vivid, full of the vitality of nature. Landscape composition is unique and unconventional, full of creative spirit, unique seal cutting and outstanding calligraphy, which is well known to everyone. Qi Baishi's paintings are against unrealistic dreams. He often pays attention to the characteristics of flowers, birds, insects and fish and tries to figure out their spirit. He once said: To draw a picture of all kinds of insects, to draw a picture of all kinds of birds, you must draw your own face. His sentences are very witty and clever. He drew two chickens fighting for a bug, and the title said, "I'll call you tomorrow." A picture of cotton reads: "Flowers warm the world, but flowers cool the world". The title of "Tumbler Map" is "Autumn fans shake white on both sides, and official robes are black."

The market situation of Qi Baishi's works

Qi Baishi worked hard all his life and painted a lot. He gets flustered if he doesn't draw for one day, and itches if he doesn't carve his fingers for five days. His works are amazing and surprisingly good. As short as 1953, there are more than 600 large and small works. 1922, Chen Shiceng introduced Qi Baishi's paintings to Tokyo for the Sino-Japanese Friendship Exhibition, which was very popular. They were all sold at high prices, but at that time his paintings were priced very low in China. In the 1920s, under the impetus of Xu Beihong, Qi Baishi's works were gradually recognized by collectors, and the price rose steadily. At present, it is difficult to see Qi Baishi's works for public sale in the domestic primary market. Calligraphy and painting shops will buy his original works at a high price, but rarely see them sold at a marked price. In Hongkong and new york markets, Qi Baishi's works are auctioned regularly every year. He is the most auctioned modern painter. In the Hong Kong market, his latest price is about 3 million-110,000 Hong Kong dollars, and the higher price was created in 1989, reaching10.2 million Hong Kong dollars. In the domestic auction market, Qi Baishi's price is the highest, and the highest record is an album of Landscape auctioned by Guardian Auction Company, with a price of 5 1.7 million yuan. Later, Guardian held a special auction of Qi Baishi's works. Although the effect is good, the price of Qi Baishi's works has been in a downturn since then.

Two or three things in life

During the period of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the commander of Beiping puppet police and the head of the big spy announced his birthday and invited Qi Baishi (1863- 1957), a master of Chinese painting, to a banquet to paint. Qi Baishi came to the banquet, looked around the room full of guests, thought for a while, and spread out the paper. In the blink of an eye, an ink crab jumped onto the paper. Everyone was full of praise and beaming with joy. Unexpectedly, Qi Baishi, with a stroke of his pen, wrote a line on the painting-"How long will it be rampant", wrote "General Wu Tie" and then looked up and left.

A traitor wants a painting. Qi Baishi painted a tumbler with a white nose and a black hat, and wrote a poem: black gauze and a white fan are like officials, but the original mud is not poured, and the makeup suddenly breaks. Where is the heart?

1937, the Japanese invaders occupied Beiping. In order not to be used by the enemy, Qi Baishi insisted on staying at home and posted a notice at the door, saying, "Chinese and foreign officials can use representatives to buy Baishi's paintings without having to drive to the door in person. They have never been in the house, and the official has entered the house, which is unfavorable to the owner. I hereby inform you that you will not accept it. " Qi Baishi was not satisfied, so he drew another picture to show his intention. The picture is very special. When people draw a sad green, they let it stand on the stone or lotus road and look at the fish on the water. Qi Baishi was uncharacteristically. Instead of drawing sturgeon on the surface of the water, he painted shrimp in the deep water, and wrote an inscription on the painting: "If you have never painted sadness, you must draw fish. I draw shrimp alone, and the shrimp does not float." What about the sad green? " Qi Baishi closed the door and called himself shrimp. He compared the traitor who was an official with the Japanese and China to Pei Cui, which was hidden and thought-provoking.

When Qi Baishi was in his 70 s, he said to people: I just know that I can't draw. People unanimously praised the modesty of the old man. The old painter said, I really can't draw. People praised him more and more, but of course no one believed what he said.

Qi Baishi's view on education for the aged.

Lu yiyuan

The old man Baishi has an important painting theory: "The beauty of painting is between similarity and dissimilarity, too kitsch, not deceives the world." However, the old man Baishi has different styles towards his children, disciples and students. Yan Kuan also has other teaching methods, but we lack certain understanding and knowledge. September 16 this year is the 50th anniversary of the death of the old man Baishi. This article talks about the old people's superficial understanding of different teaching methods for their children, disciples and students, and encourages everyone.

Old man Baishi has taught many students all his life. There are children of celebrities and ordinary people. I'm afraid no one can tell how many disciples and students he brought in his life. In the history of modern calligraphy and painting in China, most of the famous painters and painters with achievements have direct or indirect relations with the old man Baishi.

Learning fine arts attaches great importance to the relationship between teachers and students. No matter which subject, you are lucky to meet a good teacher. Painting is the same, which needs the support, guidance and guidance of famous teachers. Of course, scholars should give full play to their creativity on the basis of mastering basic skills. Everything can't be separated from personal efforts, and it is the truth to reward diligence in heaven.

Old man Baishi knows psychology, ethics and sociology very well. He can arouse the enthusiasm of scholars. Everyone has curiosity and vanity. Without curiosity and vanity, there will be no ambition. Old Baishi's comments on the teaching and works of his disciples and students are mostly words of relief and encouragement. Painting, living, being a man ...

Old people often compare their disciples and students with themselves, all of which reveal their noble sentiments of kindness, generosity, tolerance and equality. This kind of affection between teachers and students, this kind of brotherhood, is a kind of responsibility and expectation of the old man to his disciples and students like father's love.

However, the old man Baishi took a completely different way from his disciples and students in his study of children's painting. In the comments on some works by the old man Baishi to his children, we can hardly see the language of praise and approval. A "want" and "have the ability to learn" is the highest score. Even the seal cutting seals given by the old people to their children are mostly famous seals or seals such as "descendants of Baishi", "sons of Baishi" and "Gate of the Master". On this issue, I have specifically consulted Mr. Qi Liangchi. He said: "My father thinks that disciples and students are guests at home after all, so it is not easy to come. Therefore, it is very important to stimulate their curiosity and enhance their interest in painting. With the motivation to learn, they can benefit for life. After all, children are family members, and they live with their parents day and night, and their learning conditions are much better. The same thing, because of the difference in time, place and object, should adopt different methods to achieve good results. "

I remembered the name Qi Liangchi asked his father Baishi to give him. At that time, Mr. Qi Liangchi had graduated from Fu Jen Catholic University and made great achievements in poetry, calligraphy, painting and printing. One day, he begged the old man Baishi to give him a fast name and said, "Dad, your name is Jipingtang. What's my name? " The old man Baishi looked at Liang Chi's four sons and said with a smile, "Well, I'll give you one, too. What is the title of the book? " The old man Baishi thought for a moment and then said, "You, just call it' catch-up reading'. You read too little, you have to make up for it! " Teacher Liang Chi was disappointed after hearing this. Why do you think of such a hall number? I have read a lot of books, how can I "catch up on reading"? I didn't say anything when I saw the banner of "catch up on reading" written by the old man Baishi. I took it and put it back in my room, but it never hung up. I feel so embarrassed. When Mr. Liang Chi was seventy years old, he told this story as a joke. He said: "When people reach this age, they feel more and more that they need to catch up on their studies, and they also feel more and more that my father, the old man Baishi, has good intentions ..."

Although the old man Baishi treats his children differently from his disciples and students, his purpose is the same. I only hope that the younger generation will grow up soon and fly high. ...
