"Those who learn from me live as if they were dead" means that those who learn from me may succeed, but those who only know how to imitate blindly and don't know how to innovate will certainly fail.

3. Achievement evaluation:

Qi Baishi moved everything he was interested in and familiar with in his life into his picture. His selection of materials broke through the strict boundary between pure folk painting and academic painting. No painter in history has ever had his rare enthusiasm for expressing the real world. He used ordinary things as painting materials, thus making his paintings unprecedented rich. ?

Qi Baishi is different from Wu Changshuo, Huang Binhong and Pan Tianshou. Qi Baishi is not a literati painter in the traditional sense. His success lies in that he has ruled the field of Chinese painting for hundreds of years from a literati painter, and created an unprecedented realm in the field of literati painting with the simple feelings of a farmer, a sincere childlike heart and an old and bitter literati pen. This realm has been praised by the traditional literati class and the general public, thus establishing Qi Baishi's historic position in the painting world. His paintings are full of earthy fragrance and flavor of life. His works are both natural and ancient, achieving the unity of folk art and traditional art, the unity of sketching and freehand brushwork, and the unity of meticulous brushwork and intentional brushwork, with infinite vitality. ?
