Relationship between Wang Mingyang's Biography and Qi Baishi's Art
The relationship between Wang Mingyang Biography and Qi Baishi's art lies in that for Qi Baishi, diligence is not a whim, but a lifelong habit. His insistence on painting and seal cutting is not for fame and fortune, but for his heartfelt love. Excellent people never stop because of their achievements. They always demand themselves with high standards and pursue more exquisite skills in diligence. It is because of this diligence and hard work that Qi Baishi became a famous master of art at home and abroad. As disciple Wang Yangming asked in the Manual: How can we be "excellent" and "unique"? Wang Yangming replied: "Wei" is the thought of "Jing", "Jing" is the only kung fu, and there is no "Wei" except "Jing". The radical of "essence" is "rice", so take rice as an example. To make rice pure and white, this means "only". If there is no time to screen these' only essence', rice can't be pure white. Spring winnowing is a "fine" job, and its purpose is only to make rice pure and white.
