Is the appraisal method of calligraphy and painting helpful to everyone?

The appraisal method of calligraphy and painting is very helpful to people who like to collect or buy calligraphy and painting. It is very difficult for beginners to identify the authenticity of calligraphy and painting. But by understanding the characteristics of calligraphy and painting and other related knowledge, we can better identify the authenticity of calligraphy and painting.

When identifying calligraphy and painting, we mainly pay attention to several aspects:

1. Material: The material of calligraphy and painting is very important. High-quality rice paper, ink, pens and pigments will all affect the quality of calligraphy and painting. For example, high-quality rice paper is strong and not easy to fade, while some inferior rice paper is easy to deform and age.

2. Font: The font in calligraphy and painting is also an important part of identifying the true and false. Because every calligrapher or painter's font has a unique style and characteristics. If the font of a calligraphy and painting does not match the author's other works, it may be a fake.

3. Seal: The seal on calligraphy and painting is also one of the keys to judge authenticity. Many calligraphers or painters will stamp their works, which has become a common means for forgers. When identifying calligraphy and painting, it is necessary to carefully observe the position, shape, font and other characteristics of the seal to determine its authenticity.

4. Author: Finally, of course, we must confirm the true identity of the author. This requires some offline channels to understand the author's real situation, such as reading literature and communicating with experts.

To sum up, it is very important for people who buy works of art to understand the identification methods of calligraphy and painting. Although these methods require professional knowledge and experience, as long as they are carefully studied and practiced, they can gradually become experts who know how to identify works of art.
