What is Qi Baishi's life like?

Qi Baishi (1836—1957) was a modern painter and seal engraver in China. Formerly known as Chunzhi, later named Huang, the word Qing, also known as Lanting, has the name of near life. Also known as Baishishan, Jiyuan, Jiping, Jiping, Jiping Tangzhu, Laoping, Pingweng, Gigi Fairy, A Zhi, Mujushi, 310 Silver Rich Man, Xingziwu Old Man, and Shan Weng and Xingtang Old Man. 1863 (two years of Tongzhi in Qing dynasty)165438+1was born in xingdoutang, xingziwu, Xiangtan county, Hunan province on October 22nd. My father and mother Zhou are both farmers. Qi Baishi studied with his grandfather Zhou Yuruo when he was 8 years old. After one year, he dropped out of school because of family poverty and worked as a herdsman and firewood cutter at home. He likes painting, and often paints people, flowers and animals with red paper. /kloc-After the age of 0/5, he successively worshipped fellow villagers Qi Xianyu and Zhou Zhimei as carpenters, first as carpenters, and then as joiners. He was good at carving flowers and became famous in rural areas. When I was 2 1 year-old, I got a picture of the mustard garden, painted by a pine oil lamp, and I experienced painting for the first time. In addition to carving flowers, I also painted statues of the jade emperor, the old gentleman, the god of wealth, Vulcan, the turtle king and the dragon king for my master. 1888, Xiao Chuan, a painter from Xiangtan, studied portrait studies. Later, he met another portrait painter, Wen Shaoke, through Xiao's introduction and got his guidance. The following year, I worshipped Xiangtan celebrities Hu Zikai and Chen Zuokui as teachers, studied meticulous flowers, birds, insects and fish from Hu Zikai and studied poetry from Chen Zuokui. From then on, he made a living by painting portraits, canopies, sleeves and shoes used by nave and women. He stopped being a carpenter and became a professional painter. 1890-190 1 During the period, Qi Baishi made a living by selling paintings, and assiduously studied novels of the Ming and Qing Dynasties such as Tang poetry, Mencius and Strange Tales from a Lonely Studio. During this period, in addition to painting portraits, he also painted landscape figures, flowers, birds, insects and fish, especially ladies, which was called Qi. 1894, Qi Baishi organized the Longshan Poetry Society with seven people including fellow villagers, Luo Zhenwu, Luo, Chen Fugen, Tan Ziquan and Hu. Because he is the oldest, he often meets and writes poems, which is called "the seven sons of Longshan". His poems are not good at using allusions and rhythms, and naturally he wins by expressing temperament and singing skills. At the same time, he also studied calligraphy with Hu and others, focusing on the integration of He, and wrote Zhong Ding Zhuanli. /kloc-began to learn seal cutting in 0/896, and studied under Ding Longhong and Huang. He and Li are the earliest printing friends. They often live in Li's guest room grinding stones, grasping knives and learning printing. 1899, Zhang Zhongyang introduced the famous Xiangtan poet Wang Xiangqi as his teacher. /kloc-in 0/900, he used the money from selling paintings to live in Meigong Temple near Xingdoutang, and built a new study called Borrowing Mountain Pavilion. This year alone, he wrote hundreds of poems in the pavilion. It was at the turn of the two centuries that Qi Baishi's poetry and painting seal cutting gradually became famous, from a woodcarving carpenter and a folk painter to an artist with literati cultivation. 1902, Qi Baishi ended the days when he only wanted to "support his wife" and "didn't want to travel far" and began to travel far. On June+10 in 5438, I went to Xi 'an in the summer afternoon at the invitation of my fellow villagers to paint landscapes all the way. Among them, Looking at the Sun in Dongting and Melissa Zhou at Baqiao were included in Singing Pavilion through the Mountain. After staying in Xi 'an for three months, Xia Wuyi and I went to Beijing and visited Huayin and Hongnongjian on the way. Fan Fanshan, a famous poet in Xi 'an, Shaanxi Province, was willing to recommend Qi Baishi as an imperial sacrifice to Empress Dowager Cixi, and Xia Wuyi was willing to donate a county magistrate for him, but he declined. 1903 returned to China at the turn of spring and summer via Tianjin, Shanghai and Hankou. From spring to autumn the following year, I traveled to Nanchang, Jiujiang and Lushan with Wang Xiangqi and Zhang Zhongyang. 1In July, 905, Wang Songnian, a scholar from Guangxi, invited him to visit Guilin. In the following spring, he went to stay with Guo Baosheng, a fellow countryman in Qinzhou, Guangdong Province, and copied the original works of Xu Wei, Zhu Da and Jin Nong collected by Guo Baosheng, and returned to China in the autumn of. 1907, at the invitation of Guo Baosheng, he went to Qinzhou, Guangdong Province again to teach Mrs. Guo to paint and write for Guo. He visited Zhaoqing, Duan Xi and Dongxing successively, wrote A Passer-by in the Blue Sky (earning a mountain map), and returned to Xiangtan at the end of the year. 1908, the poet friend Luo invited him to Guangzhou, and he still made a living by selling paintings and engraving books. Luo is a revolutionary of the League, and Qi Baishi once sent him secret documents. I returned to China that autumn, went to Guangzhou and Qinzhou at the end of winter, and returned to China the following summer via Hong Kong, Shanghai, Suzhou and Nanjing. The seven-year trip greatly broadened Qi Baishi's horizons, enriched his visual world and inner world, saw many famous traditional paintings and met many celebrities and artists. He gradually turned from meticulous brushwork to freehand brushwork, and his calligraphy turned from writing He Ji Shao to "Chicken Cage and Wild Goose North"; Seal cutting has also changed from learning from Ding Longhong and Huang to imitating Zhao. As he summed up in his self-report, traveling abroad has become "a major hub for changing one's style". 19 10, Qi Baishi repainted the landscape paintings he had traveled and compiled them into Borrowing Mountains, with a total of 52 paintings (22 existing ones), and then painted them into Twenty-four Scenes of Shimen. Until 19 16, I lived at home and wanted to live and work in peace and contentment and sell paintings. However, after years of chaos, Qi Baishi came to Beijing at the invitation of Fan Fanshan to sell paintings for a living. Since then, he has made acquaintance with Beijing painters such as Ling, Wang, Li Shu, Lin Fengmian, He Lu Zhi and Hu, especially with them. At that time, Qi Baishi's paintings were close to Zhu Da's seclusion and were unpopular with Beijingers. Chen Shiceng advised him to come up with new ideas, so Qi Baishi began the "twilight reform". 1922, Chen Shiceng went to Japan to exhibit Qi Baishi's works for sale, which was the first time that Qi Baishi was introduced to a foreign country. 1927, Xu Beihong, president of Beiping Art College, invited Qi Baishi as a professor of Chinese painting. The following year, he published "Poetry and Grass Borrowed from Mountain Pavilion". 1933 printed version of poem grass of Baishi, and poem grass of borrowing mountain pavilion did not select all the poems selected in the book. It has been printed three times so far this year, and it was not until 1934 that he claimed to be "the millionaire of 300 lithographs". During 1936, he visited Chongqing, Neijiang, Chengdu, Qingcheng and Emei in Sichuan, and met Huang and Jin Songcen, whom he had not seen for many years. Qi Baishi, who lives in Beijing, is famous for painting flowers, birds, insects and fish, and rarely makes landscapes. No matter what you do, you will take measures repeatedly and will not fall into the previous model. 1937 After the "July 7th Incident", Qi Baishi resigned from all teaching posts and stayed at home behind closed doors. The next year, he painted "Super Scenery of Architecture". 1939, in order to refuse the Japanese puppet leaders' pestering for paintings, a note was posted on the gate: "The old man Baishi had a heart attack and stopped seeing visitors", "It's ominous to steal paintings if you don't sell them to the government", "Never lower the painting price, never eat in a restaurant, never take pictures" and "No reward will be given to translators from outsiders". 1944 Stop selling paintings, and express that you would rather starve than flatter the wicked and ugly with the poem "Long life is a shame to be a thief, and you are worthy of Chang 'an hunger".
