In the world of artworks, every masterpiece carries the artist's heart and soul. In particular, those works by the hands of masters are even more precious. How to identify a Qi Baishi red grasshopper sent to Guardian? This is not only a technical work, but also a kind of cultural inheritance and understanding.
First of all, we need to understand Qi Baishi's artistic style and his creative background. Qi Baishi, a great painter in the 20th century, is known for his unique brushwork skills and profound life feelings. His works are full of local flavor and natural interest, especially flowers, birds, insects and fish. Among them, "Red Grasshopper" is one of his representative works, and the red knotweed flowers and grasshoppers in the picture contrast with each other, which is vivid and breathtaking.
So, what are the key points we should pay attention to when appraising such a work?
**First, observe the details**
Qi Baishi's paintings are "between the similar and the unlike", and he is good at capturing the subtle changes in nature and expressing them on paper. Therefore, when identifying the red grasshopper, the first thing to pay attention to is the posture and verve of the grasshopper in the painting. According to Tang Fazhou, the successor of Qi Baishi, he said: "Look at the grasshopper painting method. This means that we should carefully observe whether the grasshopper's body structure, antennae, and leg movements are in line with Qi Baishi's unique technique.

**Second, the use of color**
Qi Baishi is good at using bright and harmonious colors to represent objects. In his paintings, the flamboyance of red knotweed flowers and the emerald green of grasshoppers are contrasted with each other, forming a visual beauty. If we find that the color combination is too monotonous or too strong during identification, it may not be genuine.
**Three, pen and ink kung fu**
As an outstanding ink painter, Qi Baishi's brush and ink skills are extraordinary. When he paints red grasshoppers, he often uses bold and decisive lines to outline the outline of the image, supplemented by delicate rendering to make the whole picture rich in layers. If it seems hesitant or rough in the details, it needs to be further investigated.
**Fourth, the seal of the style**
Last but not least, the stamp and the seal. Authentic Qi Baishi's works usually have the author's own inscription and personal seal. "Qi Da", "Carpenter Qi Huang" and so on are all common forms of payment. This information provides us with an important reference.

In short, the process of identifying the red knotweed grasshopper of Qi Baishi is not only a research and analysis of the artwork itself, but also a kind of respect and inheritance of our traditional culture. As Tang Fazhou emphasized, "Every piece of Qi Baishi's work contains his understanding and thinking about life and society. ”
Through the attention to detail, the grasp of color, the expression of pen and ink, and the consideration of the authenticity of the seal, we can better understand and appreciate Qi Baishi's pictures full of vitality and poetry. I hope that every friend who loves art can find their own touching and surprise in this treasure hunt.
