Understanding these eight words will also let many newcomers know what they should do to succeed. Qi Baishi is a relatively independent painter in modern painting. Zhang Daqian is famous in modern flower beds. Although he is not as famous as Qi Baishi, he is at least known by everyone? Oriental pen? Master figure. Zhang Daqian was visiting Qi Baishi at that time, but he was refused. Many people know this. This incident is also quite sensational in the entire painter circle. Some people think that Qi Baishi is too arrogant to give Zhang Daqian face. In fact, Qi Baishi decided to see Zhang Daqian because he thought he was making fake paintings.
Qi Baishi said at that time that it was excusable for an ordinary person to make fake paintings for a living, but Zhang Daqian was already a famous painter at that time, so Qi Baishi looked down on Zhang Daqian. In fact, imitation was very common in Chinese paintings at that time, but because Qi Baishi refused to meet Zhang Daqian, this story also alerted future generations. Imitation was actually plagiarism, and no matter how exquisite it was, it could not be his own work.
These eight words still have a far-reaching influence in today's painting world, and they are also the best interpretation of blindly imitating other people's painting styles. Qi Baishi educated his disciples as well as future generations. The painting world should have its own unique painting style and opinions, and should not blindly follow, let alone make fake paintings to mislead the audience.
