Resources.

It's not called a day of idleness.

Mo Xian peony is rich and noble, but he loses pears and oranges.

The similar ones are kitsch, the unsimilar ones deceive the world, and the magic lies between the similar and the unlike.

Those who learn from me live, and those who resemble me die.

Shou Gao is not ashamed to be a thief, and he does not quit Chang'an to do evil.

Ren Jun is tired of peeling back and forth, and he feels that the wind is light all over his body.

Those who are good at freehand speak about their gods, and those who work on sketches only pay attention to their shapes. To sketch and then freehand, freehand and then re-sketch, self-energy and god-like, non-accidental can also be obtained.

In the painting, there should always be the subtlety of the ancients in the chest, and not the fur of the ancients at the end of the brush. Those who want to make it can only trace its skin, but cannot know its subtlety. Based on this, even if the incompetence is unprecedented, it is also unprecedented. To learn from the ancients, we must learn to hate the ancients for not seeing me, and don't hate for not knowing my ears when people do not know me.

I am learning to enter the family, not imitating others, but learning the spirit of pen and ink, whether it looks like or not.

I don't paint anything I haven't seen.

If you want to scold, don't listen to it, and if you want to be famous, don't like it.

When painting, first read too many authentic works of the ancients, and then get rid of the habits of the predecessors and don't make paintings. It is what the predecessors did not do, although no one knows it, and it is worthy of asking oneself. Clean, not interested in fame and fortune, can be engaged in painting.

Seeing the length of the ancient and modern, copying and Xiao can not boast, the teacher is short, giving up it without slandering, and then reproduces the creation of heaven and earth. In this way, there are ghosts and gods at the bottom of the wrist.

【Biography】

Qi Baishi, a native of Xiangtan, Hunan, was born on January 1, 1864 in Baishipu, Xiangtan County, and died in Beijing on September 16, 1957, at the age of 94. It is a famous painter and calligrapher in China in the 20th century. He used to be the chairman of the Chinese Artists Association.

He was awarded the title of "Chinese People's Artist". There are "White Stone Poetry Grass", "White Stone Seal Grass" and so on. Qi Baishi is a carpenter-born artist who is outstanding in poetry, calligraphy, painting and printing, and his artistic experience is very legendary.

For these four uniques, he thinks that seal carving is the first, poetry is the second, calligraphy is the third, and painting is the fourth.

Celebrity Stories] According to records, the old man Shiraishi never worried about personal gains and losses throughout his life, and was a very funny and humorous person. The two short stories of the legend below can better see the humor and humor, open-mindedness and peace of the old man Shiraishi.

Qi Baishi painted chickens. It is said that one day, a little girl from an art college brought 16 yuan and wanted to ask the old man to draw a few chickens. The old man Baishi pointed to the price list on the wall and said that each chicken can be painted for 2 yuan, and only 8 chickens can be painted for 16 yuan.

After the little girl agreed, Qi Baishi drew eight lifelike chickens of different shapes competing for food next to a Chinese cabbage. This group of chickens is lively and cute, full of fun. The old man Baishi himself was satisfied, so he asked the little girl if she was painting well, and the little girl was happy and praised her repeatedly

Good! Good! But she wanted to take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see more about how the old man used brush and ink, so she asked the old man to continue painting.

Old man Shiraishi looked at the school emblem on the little girl's chest, happily agreed, and said, "Okay, I'll give you half a chicken again!" After speaking, he lightly nodded a few strokes above the cabbage, and saw the head and wings of a chick sticking out of the cabbage, as if trying to jump out of the cabbage and join the ranks of the chicks foraging.

These strokes are vividly drawn and become the finishing touch.

Qi Baishi painted shrimp. The old man Shiraishi is famous for painting shrimp, so there are countless people who seek to paint shrimp. Although this is a good thing, but it is also annoying, for this reason, the old man issued a special notice, saying:

White stone painting shrimp, ten taels of one. "Most of the seekers don't bargain, they pay for the painting, and they get it for themselves. Who knew that there was a person who was clever and took 35 taels of silver a day to ask Qi Baishi to paint shrimp, thinking that the old man would draw 4, wouldn't he earn half of it?

The next day, this man came to pick up the painting, opened the scroll and saw that there were only 3 small shrimp on the picture. "Didn't I give my five taels of silver for nothing? The man looked up at Qi Baishi and was about to ask a question, but the old man smiled and pointed to the painting, asking him to take a closer look.

This person looked closely, and finally found half a shrimp with only its tail exposed between the two aquatic plants! The man had nothing to say, so he smiled wryly and walked away with the painting. Old man Shiraishi looked at his back and laughed wittily.

In 1919, Qi Baishi moved his family to Beijing, where he made a living selling paintings and seals. At this time, he met perhaps the most important friend in his life - Chen Shizeng. The relationship between these two was later summarized as "Without Chen Shizeng, there would be no Qi Baishi, and without Qi Baishi, there would be no Chen Shizeng."

Chen Shi was a staunch supporter of tradition at a time when new ideas were surging in the painting world, and he wrote a book entitled "The Value of Literati Painting", which is extremely meaningful. However, it was this seemingly old-fashioned Chen Fuzi who encouraged and guided Baishi Weng many times, and with this spiritual support, Qi Baishi resolutely worked for ten years to carry out the decay and transformation method, and since then his freehand flowers and birds have been full of vitality and presented a well-known appearance to the world.

Xu Beihong invited Qi Baishi.

In September 1929, the master Xu Beihong was hired as the president of the Beiping Art Academy. Soon after he took office, he personally visited Qi Baishi and hired him to come to the university as a professor.

One morning in December, Xu Beihong walked into the humble studio of Qi Baishi, a cross-dong hutong in Beijing. The two hit it off at first sight, and they had a feeling of hating each other. When Xu Beihong proposed to hire Qi Baishi as a professor at the Beiping Academy of Arts, Qi Baishi looked at Xu Beihong silently for a while and politely declined.

A few days later, Xu Beihong knocked on Qi Baishi's door again, but was rejected again. In this regard, Xu Beihong is not discouraged or discouraged. He is well aware of the truth ...... that "sincerity goes, gold and stone are open".In the end, Qi Baishi was finally persuaded to serve as a professor at the Beiping Academy of Arts, and at the same time spoke his heart:

Not only did I never go to school, but I didn't even teach elementary school students, so how could I teach college students? ”

Xu Beihong said: "You just give students a demonstration of painting in class. ”

Galloping Horse" and "Shrimp Fun".

Although Qi Baishi's portrait Xu Beihong appreciated: "Wonderful nature, natural." However, in the art world at that time, some people tried their best to discriminate and belittle Qi Baishi, who was born as a carpenter.

In an art exhibition, Qi Baishi's works were neglected and squeezed into an unnoticed corner. When Xu Beihong saw Qi Baishi's work "Shrimp Fun" in the exhibition hall, he secretly rejoiced: "What a wonderful masterpiece!"

He immediately found the person in charge of the exhibition hall, put "Shrimp Fun" in the exhibition hall**, juxtaposed with his works, and changed the price of "Shrimp Fun" from 8 yuan to 80 yuan, while his "Running Horse" was priced at 70 yuan; He also noted the words "Xu Beihong's price" under "Shrimp Fun". This.

The incident caused a sensation, and Qi Baishi also.

This is famous in the capital.
