When appraising Qi Baishi's work "Male and Female", paying special attention to the painting method of the chick is an important part of evaluating the authenticity of the work. Tang Fazhou, the successor of Qi Baishi, has an in-depth understanding and experience sharing of chicken painting methods, which provides us with a valuable basis for identification. The following are the key points of identification based on this idea:
1. Characteristics of chick painting
Morphology and dynamics:
Qi Baishi painted chickens, focusing on the natural and vivid form, and the posture and dynamics of the chickens are different, full of life. He is able to skillfully show the liveliness and cuteness of the chicks through their postures such as standing, walking, and foraging.
Pen & Ink:
In the use of the pen, Qi Baishi pays attention to the conciseness and precision of the penmanship, and strives to have both form and spirit in each stroke. Through different ink colors and brushstrokes, he expresses the texture of the chick's feathers, sense of volume and dynamics. In particular, the chick's fluff is able to express its soft, fluffy characteristics with delicate brushstrokes and light ink.
Arrangement of chicken feet:
The arrangement of chicken feet is a highlight of Qi Baishi's chicken painting. He is able to skillfully express the various movements and postures of the chicks through the different positions and shapes of the chicken feet. For example, through changes such as the expansion and bending of chicken feet, different dynamics such as walking, running, and foraging can be expressed.

Second, the coordination of the overall picture
Composition:
Qi Baishi pays attention to the rationality of the layout and the balance of the picture in the composition. He is good at using blank space and the contrast between virtual and real, so that the picture is neither too crowded nor too empty, to achieve a harmonious and unified effect. In "Male and Female", you can observe the position relationship between the chick and other elements (such as hens, grass, stones, etc.) to see if it is natural and harmonious.
Color & Ink:
Qi Baishi is unique in the use of color, and he is good at using the shade of ink to express the layering and sense of space in the picture. In "Male and Female", you can observe the color matching and ink color changes between the chick and other elements to see if it is harmonious and unified, and whether it conforms to Qi Baishi's color habits.

3. Identification and seals
Style:
Style recognition is one of the important bases for identifying the authenticity of Qi Baishi's works. In "Male and Female", it is necessary to carefully check whether the writing style, font characteristics and content of the style are consistent with Qi Baishi's authentic handwriting. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to whether the location and layout of the style are reasonable.
Seal:
The seal is also an important reference for identifying the authenticity of Qi Baishi's works. In "Dividing Male and Female", it is necessary to carefully observe the details such as the seal carving style, the characteristics of the font, and the color of the seal clay to see if it is consistent with the authentic work of Qi Baishi. In particular, it is necessary to pay attention to the clarity and integrity of the seal and avoid being confused by a forged seal.
4. Refer to market information and expert opinions
Market:
Understanding the trading situation, price range and common counterfeiting methods of Qi Baishi's works in the current market will help to more accurately judge the authenticity and value of the works in the identification process.
Expert opinion:
If conditions permit, you can ask a professional art appraisal agency or expert to conduct an appraisal. They have a wealth of experience and professional knowledge, and are able to judge the authenticity and value of the work more accurately.
To sum up, when appraising Qi Baishi's work "Male and Female", it is necessary to pay special attention to the characteristics of the chick's painting method, the coordination of the overall picture, the identification of the style and seal, and the reference market information and expert opinions. Only in this way can we more accurately distinguish the authenticity and value of the work.
