Qi Baishi, a stingy man: I'll exchange my painted cabbage for a car full of cabbage. Vendor: Do you really want to be beautiful?
Forever childlike innocence, goodbye as always.
people from all walks of life are working hard in their own jobs, which can be described as 36 lines, and each line is the best, but the interlacing is like a mountain, and many times we can't understand the inside of other industries well. For the professional field, we are all amateurs watching the excitement and experts watching the doorway, which will inevitably lead to many jokes, and some people will even sneer at professionals. In the field of calligraphy and painting, a person who knows is worth a fortune, while a person who doesn't know is a piece of waste paper, just like a painting that Mr. Qi Baishi wants to give to a vegetable vendor.
The angular facial beard is long, behind the round eye frame are a pair of bright eyes, and the big earlobe is quite Buddhist. This is Mr. Qi Baishi. In September, 1957, Qi Baishi finished his 93-year-old life, leaving precious spiritual wealth for China's art palace.
at the end of the Qing dynasty, specifically, in January 1864, Qi Baishi was born in Xingdoutang, Changsha, Hunan Province. His original name was Chunzhi, and later he was named Baishi and Baishishan Weng. Qi Baishi began to learn calligraphy and painting with his grandfather at the age of 6. At the age of 14, he studied the art of carving wood, during which he learned how to draw flowers, birds and figures. Ten years later, I learned portrait painting from folk artists. After that, I stopped being a carpenter and relied on my friends to help me draw portraits to support my family.
36-year-old Qi Baishi recited poems and painted in "Baimei Bookstore" under the Lotus Peak. Later, at the invitation of his friends, he traveled abroad to teach painting. His friends had hoped to recommend him to Empress Dowager Cixi and donate officials to him, but he resolutely refused, and continued to go to Wan Li Road to find painting inspiration.
going around all the way, Qi Baishi went from south to north, and finally settled in Beijing. After liberation, he attended state banquets many times and had dinner with President * * *. He painted many times with the theme of liberation and peace, and the last painting in his life was called Peony.
Qi Baishi is good at landscape painting and local painting. Everything in the south is vivid in his paintings. Flowers, birds and insects are fine and vivid, and the spirit is all there. Painting shrimps is a wonderful part of Qi Baishi's painting world, which stems from the fact that he often played by the pond when he was a teenager, and observed and painted after fishing for shrimps. In the middle age, Qi Baishi put long-arm shrimps on a painting case, which shows that painting can't be separated from life.
Qi Baishi's personality is chic and elegant, and he always keeps an innocent mind. He is immersed in his own artistic world, and he is unwilling to socialize and be an official at ordinary times, thus achieving his position in the painting world. Qi Baishi received many apprentices, and even Mei Lanfang and Xin Fengxia had studied painting from teachers. Qi Baishi's former residence is in his hometown Xingtang Old House, and his former residence is in Bicai Hutong, Beijing. His tomb was once placed in Weigong Village, because Weigong Village was once the cemetery of Hunan people in Beijing, and there was a place named Baishi Bridge on the south side.
Mr. Qi Baishi has a very high international evaluation. Picasso once praised him very much. Yu Qiuyu's evaluation of Qi Baishi's paintings is a blend of Hunan and Beijing cultures. From practice to practice is Qi Baishi's life principle, which also pushes him to go further and draw deeper.
The intersection of Qi Baishi and a vegetable vendor
Qi Baishi was born in a poor family when he was young. Later, he was paid by painting and teaching, and his life gradually improved. Now the value of Qi Baishi's paintings is even higher. Twelve Screens of Mountains and Rivers was auctioned successfully for more than 9 million yuan. In the face of such a huge painting, we must think that Qi Baishi is a local tyrant, and it is a big mistake to spend a lot of money as he pleases in life. Qi Baishi lived in exile for the first half of his life, and his fame was completely absent. He became famous in the second half of his life, so he always lived cautiously, and meanness was also one of Qi Baishi's characters.
We know that Qi Baishi is good at painting the details of life, and radish and cabbage are also his brush nodes. A few strokes in a hurry is a Chinese cabbage. To this end, he also made a joke. One day, while Qi Baishi was painting at ease, there was a cry of selling cabbage outside the window. Qi Baishi was so clever that he missed the cabbage and came to his side. Qi Baishi, who loves cabbage, wanted to buy some cabbage, but on second thought, it would cost money. It is better to use a cabbage painting for some cabbage.
It's better said than done. Qi Baishi quickly picked up a paintbrush and painted. When he was done, Qi Baishi rushed to the door and asked the cabbage vendor, "What do you think of my painting for a car full of cabbages?" Originally, the vegetable vendor thought that Qi Baishi had come to buy cabbage, but he was a "street bastard". The vegetable vendor who didn't know the painting immediately turned against him: "You want to be beautiful and miss. If you don't look at your age, I will be impolite."
Qi Baishi didn't come to Taiwan in embarrassment for a while. It was really a scholar who met a soldier and couldn't tell whether he was right or not. Qi Baishi had to roll up his paintings and go home dejectedly, sighing as he walked: "What is this? It's insulting."
