In particular, the calligraphy work full of auspicious meanings, "May everyone in the world live a long life", is a treasure coveted by countless collectors. So, how to determine the authenticity of this work? Mr. Tang Fazhou, a descendant of Qi Baishi, a disciple of Qi Liangzhi, the president of Qi Baishi Painting and Calligraphy Academy, and a special calligraphy and painting appraiser of Qi Baishi family, gave a concise and profound answer: look at the brushwork first.

## Brushwork – the soul of a work of art
Brushwork is the window of the calligrapher's soul and an important embodiment of his artistic attainments. When identifying Qi Baishi's calligraphy, the first thing to pay attention to is whether the strokes are natural and smooth. Qi Baishi's brushwork pays attention to the perfect combination of strength and speed, and each stroke is full of the tension of life and the breath of agility. As Tang Fazhou said: "The real Qi calligraphy is like flowing water in the same industry, which has both strength and softness." ”
## Details – Where the devil hides
The devil is in the details, and this is especially true when it comes to art appraisals. Qi Baishi's work is often subtle. Every turning point and every change in the lines of the words "may everyone in the world live a long life" is the key to distinguishing the authenticity. A true master's work will not have a single flaw, even the smallest part, will be handled just right. Therefore, observing these details becomes a top priority in the identification process.

## Shen Yun – an artistic temperament that cannot be imitated
If techniques can be learned and copied, then Shen Yun is the artist's unique temperament, which is difficult to imitate. Qi Baishi's calligraphy has a unique charm, which is not only the inheritance of traditional culture, but also his unique personal understanding. That simple yet elegant, simple and meaningful style is his unique skill in the field of art. Tang Fazhou pointed out: "If you want to distinguish the real from the fake, the key is to feel the breath and emotion behind the work. "This kind of verve is often beyond the reach of those who counterfeit it.
## Summary - from the sublimation of skills to mood
The identification of Qi Baishi's calligraphy "May everyone in the world live a long life" is not only an investigation of the technique, but also an understanding and perception of its spiritual connotation. By observing the brushwork in detail, figuring out the details and experiencing the charm, we can not only judge the authenticity of the work, but also appreciate the master's artistic style and life wisdom. As Qi Liangzhi inherited, true art is not only a visual enjoyment, but also a spiritual resonance.
In this impetuous era, calming down and savoring a work of art may be a way for us to return to our inner peace. Through the appreciation of Qibaishi calligraphy, we can not only feel the artistic shock from a hundred years ago, but also find our own tranquility in this precipitation. I hope that everyone who loves art can reap joy and emotion in this kind of exploration.
