Qi Baishi is one of the most imitated painters in China and one of the most well-preserved painters in China. China painters whose paintings and calligraphy were imitated the most were Shi Tao, Badashanren, Wu Changshuo, Xu Beihong, Zhang Daqian, Li Keran, Li Kuchan, Pan Tianshou, Huang Zejin, Fan Ceng, Huang Yongyu, Han Meilin, Ding Shaoguang, Liu Wenxi and Wang Chengxi. Many people imitate their calligraphy and painting, but most people imitate their calligraphy and painting, not because they draw well or because they like their calligraphy and painting. Some painters who imitate their paintings actually dislike their paintings from the bottom of their hearts. But because their calligraphy and painting are very valuable. No matter who imitates whose calligraphy and painting, the purpose of imitation is to like it, learn to use my support, and the purpose of imitation is to sell it as genuine and I hate it.

There are also some high-quality imitations of Qi Baishi's calligraphy and painting. It's not difficult to distinguish between true and false here. Even if you get it in front of you, it's difficult to distinguish it without comparing it with the real thing, because some imitations are too realistic. Even Huang Zejin and Fan Ceng themselves say that some of their imitations are difficult for them to tell whether they are true or not. They also said with a smile, why do some artists have high imitation skills and why don't they create their own works? It's really hard to understand!

Finally, let me talk about these calligraphy and painting with Qi Baishi as the theme. At first glance, it is imitation, not to mention that the painting does not imitate, and even the words are imitated badly. Qi Baishi's painting, even if it is only a stroke, can make people see its shade. Qi Baishi's calligraphy, even if it is only a stroke, can make people see that it is both rigid and flexible.
