Mr. Chen Geng Qiao, a research librarian of Shandong Museum and a judge of China Calligraphers Association, said: "Qi Lao is a famous scholar, educator, calligrapher and a recognized connoisseur in society. He has been strongly supporting China's appreciation and auction of cultural relics, and he is loved by the cultural relics circles in China. Since the early 1980s, I have had many contacts with Mr. Qi Gong. What impressed me the most and inspired me the most was seeking truth from facts in the identification of cultural relics: when you identify ancient paintings and calligraphy, you know what you know, but if you don't know, you say you don't know, which is very frank. I once brought the Qing Dynasty picture album collected by the provincial museum to Beijing for identification by Mr. Qi Gong, who gave me a lot of inspiration. In addition, I feel that some of his ideas are very open-minded and often expressed in simple language. He is a fan of Beijing opera. He often says,' In Beijing opera, you must stare at the chessboard first, and then you can show the charm. The same is true of writing. Pay attention to the structure first, in order to seek charm. "This sentence has greatly inspired my artistic creation for many years, and I have taken some detours less."
Xue Yongnian, a professor and doctoral supervisor at the School of Humanities of the Central Academy of Fine Arts, once wrote an article: Wang, a younger scholar than me in the Palace Museum, is good at learning, proficient in inscriptions, calligraphy and painting, and systematically studies Zhao Mengfu, although he has never been to college and is a worker. He was Xu Bangda's assistant in 1980s and 1990s, and Mr. Qi Gong attached great importance to him because he forgot to make friends and talked with everyone, constantly creating opportunities for his development and improvement. In the early 1990s, Mr Wang asked me to recommend Wang to do research in American metropolises, "to let Americans know that we have such young experts". Later, I asked Wang about it, and he said that Mr. Wang took the trouble to go to America for him. At a banquet, in a conversation with Wen Fong, Mr. Qi Gong deliberately brought up a topic, that is, Zhao Mengfu's "Double Pines and Flat Fields". This work is true or false in America, one in metropolis and the other in Cincinnati. I heard, sir, that there is hard evidence that Wang Neng tells you who is true and who is false. Listen to him. "So Wang keeps saying that the original not only has the seal of the dried dragon, but also has the inscription of the dried dragon, which was drawn from the Collection of Famous Paintings of China published by De in the first year. But the tablet of Ganlong was dug up later, and there was no tablet when TanJing organized people to cheat. Therefore. Two pieces, one true and one false, were sent to the United States. If there is no digging, it is false. If you look closely at the original with digging marks, there is no doubt. He carefully described the history of the original dissemination, as well as the appearance and sale of counterfeit products to the United States. Impressed, he immediately decided to invite Wang to the United States. My name is Qigong, and my personality is Bai, also known as Bai. I am Manchu, referred to as Manchu for short, and I belong to Zhenglan Banner.
Because my name is Gong Kai, my family name is Kay Gong Ming. Some people say your name is Essien Choro, right? People are willing to call him that as a compliment. This is actually boring. Facts have proved that if Aisinggioro can really be used as a surname, whether it is humiliation or glory, it is completely at the mercy of politics. What's there to boast about? Why do you want to say it with it? That's why I don't want to take Aisingiorro as my last name emotionally.
In the 1980s, some members of the Aisinggioro family wanted to hold a painting and calligraphy exhibition in the name of this family, and invited me to participate. I am not interested in such a name, so I wrote two poems. The first one means that even Xie, a noble family, will inevitably go through some vicissitudes. "In the old society, Wang thanked Tang and flew into the homes of ordinary people." Really capable people don't value family. Just Xi Zhi, when he signed his name, he never flaunted himself as a noble Wang family. The second song is that I am like a clown "Bao Lao" on the stage of ancient drama. I've been a good person for a long time because I'm in rags and plain. How can I deserve to play such an elegant play with you? Don't call me even if you want to join. These two poems of mine may offend people of the same clan, but they are my true thoughts.
But some people like this. Someone wrote to me and loved to write "Aisingiorro Kai Gong". At first, I just laughed it off. And then more and more. I simply marked "No such person found, please return". Indeed, if you don't believe me, check my ID card, household registration book and all the official files. There has never been such a person as Aisingiorro Qigong.
Although I don't want to call myself Essien Gioro, I am indeed a descendant of the Qing royal family. I briefly describe my family background here, not to show off my aristocratic background, but because many of them are closely related to the modern history of China. I am Yong Zhengdi's ninth grandson. The fourth son of Yongzheng was Li Hong, who succeeded to the throne. This is Emperor Qianlong. Hongzhou, the fifth son of Yongzheng, was born only one hour later than Li Hong. Of course, they are half-brothers. After Qianlong ascended the throne, he was named Prince of Peace. Our team is the offspring of the prince.
