Qi Baishi's landscape flower-and-bird works give people the impression that the pen and ink are simple and natural, with a strong local flavor, and the pictures are full of interest and appeal to both refined and popular tastes. Such as those naive tumblers, tadpoles croaking thousands of miles away, chickens "waiting", mice stealing oil to eat, and so on.

The reason why Qi Baishi can reach such a high level is inseparable from his love for life and his persistent pursuit of art.
