Qi Baishi's inspirational story: Qi Baishi became famous in his later years. Qi Baishi was born in poverty, did farm work, worked as a carpenter, and then made a living as a folk painter. At the age of 57, Qi Baishi came to Beijing, lived in Fayuan Temple and made a living by selling paintings. One of his fans is priced at two silver coins, which is half cheaper than the usual price of ordinary painters, and few people care about it. It can be seen that Qi Baishi's career at that time was very lonely, and his life was so bleak!
One day, in a neglected occasion, Mei Lanfang exchanged a few pleasantries with him, which saved him a little face. Grateful for this, he went back to draw a picture of giving charcoal to Mei Lanfang in the snow and wrote an inscription: Now I am reduced to Chang 'an, thanks to the name Mei Lang. ?

He can stand on his own feet in the history of art, however, he still has few intimate friends in Beijing. As he himself said:? Chen Shiceng is the only one who knows my painting. ?
Chen Shiceng died young in 1923. Qi Baishi lost his only confidant and was criticized by his peers. What do conservatives in Beijing call Qi Baishi's paintings? Zen of wild fox? 、? Vulgar? ,? Not elegant? Wait, attack with all your might.
But there is hope in despair. Qi Baishi is here? For ten years? Xu Beihong, who hasn't been in Beijing for a long time in the last year (1929), has a good eye for pearls and found them at a glance? Declining year reform? After qi Baishi. Qi Baishi was 66 years old at this time. In Xu Beihong's view, Qi Baishi is definitely a master of painting.

In addition, Xu Beihong also invited Qi Baishi to be a professor at the Beijing Institute of Art, where he is the dean, and personally drove Qi Baishi to school. Xu Beihong said to the students:? Qi Baishi can be compared with any painter in history. He can be your teacher or mine. ?
Qi Baishi once said in a letter to Xu Beihong, who is 32 years younger than himself. My parents know me very well! ?
Why on earth is this? There is a simple reason. Qi Baishi's fame is mainly due to Xu Beihong's wisdom and support.

Qi Baishi's inspirational story: Qi Baishi painted hard. Qi Baishi is one of the most famous painters in China. He is good at drawing small animals, such as shrimp and worms. In addition, he has also made great achievements in seal cutting.
Qi Baishi liked seal cutting very much when he was young. One day, he went to visit an old seal engraver, and he said, You pick a CHA Ki-seok and go home. When this pile of stones becomes dirt, your seal will be engraved. ? Others thought it was the old seal engraver who teased Qi Baishi and advised him to ignore the old guy, but Qi Baishi really picked a cornerstone and carved it day and night, comparing it with ancient seal cutting. After carving and polishing, blood bubbles appeared on his hands. He didn't care, so he devoted himself to carving. Day after day, year after year, there are fewer and fewer cornerstones, but the soil on the ground is getting thicker and thicker. In the end, all the cornerstones turned into mud, and Qi Baishi also got a good seal cutting. His seal cutting is vigorous, refined and unique, reaching the point of perfection.
Once, it was his birthday. As Qi is always a great master, many students and friends came. From morning till night, there was an endless stream of guests, and the old man greeted him cheerfully and sent him away. When the last guests arrived at night, the old man couldn't support it anymore. He lay down and fell asleep soon.
The next day, Qi Baishi got up early in the morning. He forgot to eat and went to the studio to draw first. His family advised him to eat, but he refused to rest. Finally, five paintings were finished, and the whole family breathed a sigh of relief, waiting for him to eat. Who knows, he spread out the paper and continued to draw. The family was afraid that he was exhausted and said, Haven't you drawn enough five? Why are you still drawing?
The old man gently raised his head and said, yesterday's birthday, there were many guests, so I won't draw it. How many pictures should I draw today to make up for yesterday's? Idle? . After that, he lowered his head and continued to draw.
It is with this diligent spirit that Qi Baishi's paintings become more and more refined and are loved by people all over the world.
