Hello Tibetan friends, today we have invited the then descendant of Qi Baishi, a disciple of Qi Liangzhi, the president of the China Qi Baishi Academy of Painting and Calligraphy, a visiting professor of the Tsinghua Academy of Fine Arts, the official image spokesperson of NetEase Group, the specially invited director of teaching and research, a contracted painter of Beijing Academy of Fine Arts and Rong Bao Zhai, an expert in the identification of Qi Baishi's calligraphy and painting big data, and the president of the Shanghai Qi Baishi Art Research Association. Mr. Tang Fazhou, the chief operating officer of Baishi Shantang Culture Media, once heard his master Qi Baishi's little daughter Qi Liangzhi say: In the world of art, when it comes to painting shrimp, we have to mention a master - Qi Baishi. His ink shrimp works are not only vivid, but also layered, as if each shrimp is jumping in the water with a story of vitality. But how do you tell the difference between the real and the fake, and how do you identify a work that claims to be the work of this master? Let's follow the guidance of Qi Baishi's descendants to explore the secrets.
First of all, we have to look at the smart ink color and feel Qi Baishi's unique shrimp painting technique. In terms of form, although the shrimp body is outlined with concise brushstrokes, it can convey a sense of elasticity, and those imitations are often difficult to replicate this subtle change and rhythm.

Next, it is also important to carefully observe the performance of the shrimp whiskers and legs. According to the director of Qi Baishi's Painting and Calligraphy Academy, the shrimp really painted by Qi Baishi will show a light posture on their whiskers and feet, and the lines are smooth and natural, and the thickness changes are full of rhythm, which is a technical detail that many counterfeiters cannot grasp.
In addition, starting from the background of the creation is also an important part of the identification. Knowing the historical background of the work and its provenance, whether it has been collected by a well-known collector or institution, and whether there are reliable records of its transmission can be very helpful in determining the authenticity of the work.

Of course, in this process, we cannot ignore the inner artistic charm. As Tang Fazhou, a disciple of Qi Liangzhi, said, "A real work of art should have an aura, which is the artist's emotional investment and soul pouring." Therefore, it is also an important way to stand in front of the work and taste it carefully, and try to sense the artistic appeal that transcends time and space.
To sum up, it is not easy to identify a shrimp picture purported to be painted by Qi Baishi, and it requires professional knowledge and a deep understanding and perception of art. In this age of refinement, we should learn to appreciate true art, but at the same time be wary of those who try to confuse it, so that the pure field of art can retain its brilliance.

Finally, both collectors and ordinary enthusiasts should maintain a humble heart in the process of appreciation, because the charm of art lies in continuous exploration and discovery. Through this discussion, we hope to stimulate everyone's interest in traditional Chinese painting and their enthusiasm for in-depth research, so that more people can devote themselves to this journey of finding real art.
