First of all, we need to understand the artistic characteristics of Mr. Qi Baishi. As a self-taught master, Qi Baishi's early works were influenced by the Bada Shanren, but he continued to innovate on the basis of inheriting the tradition and formed his own unique artistic language. His paintings can often outline the essence of things with just a few brushstrokes, simple but not simple, and the artistic conception is far-reaching.

Next, let's analyze the uniqueness of flower albums from a technical level. According to Tang Fazhou, a disciple of Qi Liangzhi, a descendant of Qi Baishi and the director of the Academy of Painting and Calligraphy, the identification of Qi Baishi's flower albums is mainly based on observing the way his flowers are painted. Specifically, you can focus on the following aspects:

1. Brush and ink: Qi Baishi's brush and ink have a strong personal character, with rough and powerful lines without losing delicate changes. Through his mastery of water and the shades of ink, we can feel the artist's emotional ups and downs and deep understanding of the natural world.
2. Composition: Masters often seek balance in simple compositions and find beauty in ordinary things. In Qi Baishi's flower album, the position of the flowers and the distribution of branches and leaves are all ingenious, which not only follows the traditional layout of the rules, but also has a unique sense of innovation.

3. Both form and spirit: Whether it is a delicate lotus flower or a plum blossom in Aoxue, it has an extraordinary vitality through the hands of Qi Baishi. The perfect combination of "form" and "god" is a major feature of his works.
4. Seals and inscriptions: Artists often put a stamp on their work and attach an inscription with inspiration. By studying these details, we can not only understand the historical background of the work, but also deepen our understanding of its connotation.

In addition to the above points, truly understanding and appreciating Qi Baishi's flower albums requires us to have a calm and sensitive heart – to feel the story behind each flower, the feelings carried by each leaf. As Tang Fazhou said, "The value of a work of art lies not only in the exquisite technique, but also in whether it can touch the softest part of the human heart." ”

Finally, I would like to emphasize that while technical identification is crucial, we should not lose sight of the charm of art itself. Qi Baishi's works are highly regarded because they are not just traces of ink on paper, but vivid cultural symbols, historical memories, and an embodiment of the spirit of traditional Chinese culture. Therefore, in the process of appreciation, please slow down your pace and listen attentively to the whispers hidden among the flowers and plants, so that the dialogue between the heart and beauty becomes an unforgettable spiritual journey.
