In the market, Qi Gong's calligraphy reputation overshadowed painting, so many people think that Qi Gong can only write but can't draw. In fact, Qi Gong's painting skills are solid and his personality style is distinct. Recently, the market for his paintings is also bullish. Qi Gong's paintings and calligraphy are full of traditional cultural factors and profound pen and ink skills. In this respect, few contemporary painters and painters can match.

Books are expensive, thin and hard, but they can communicate with the spirit.
Among contemporary calligraphy works, Mr. Qi Gong's calligraphy has been loved by many collectors, and the market price has been rising in recent years. Because of this, Mr. Qi Gong's calligraphy works have become a hot spot for many counterfeiters to copy. Judging from the fakes appearing in the market at present, most of them can barely take shape, which often reveals clues in the spiritual essence and calligraphy techniques of the works.
The calligraphy works in the later period of Qi Lao embody the style of "the book is expensive, thin and hard, magical power", and the middle palace is compact, open and closed on all sides, which is very distinctive. The fake only imitates the shape of Qi Lao's calligraphy, but does not show Qi Lao's scholar style and everybody style. To identify Qi Lao's calligraphy works, we should improve our eyesight from three aspects: brushwork, structure and composition. In brushwork, lines should be used as regular script, and lines should be used to write regular script. Some pseudographs write these stipplings very stiffly, while Qi Lao writes very implicitly in this respect. The structure of each word combines Qi Lao with Yan, Liu, Ou, Zhao and Zhi Yong. It is easier to write from the old one, so it is still very smooth. Therefore, if you want to improve your eyesight, you must further grasp yourself from three aspects: brushwork, structure and composition to improve your eyesight.

Mr. Qi Gong often uses seals.
Distinguishing the authenticity of Qigong's calligraphy depends not only on his unique thin and hard brushwork, but also on his elegant and refined book spirit. We can often see the flaw of forgery from the seal of his works.
