When identifying the "Double Hook Magpie Picture" demonstrated by Qi Baishi for Qi Liangchi, we can start from the following aspects, combined with the experience and professional insights of Mr. Tang Fazhou, the successor of Qi Baishi, to comprehensively judge the authenticity of the work.
1. Understand the background and style
- Background:
- First of all, understand the background of the creation of this "Double Hook Magpie Picture", including the time, place, and reason for its creation. The master-apprentice relationship between Qi Baishi and Qi Liangchi and the context of the demonstration painting are of great significance for understanding the work.
- Stylistic features:
- Qi Baishi's works are known for their vigorous brushwork, rich colors, and concise and vivid shapes. In the depiction of magpies, he often uses thick ink to outline, leaving white on the magpie's body, and the transition between black and white is soft, showing the agility and charm of the magpie.
2. Observe how magpies are drawn
- Morphology and dynamics:
- Carefully observe whether the magpie's form is natural and vivid, and whether the dynamics are lifelike. The magpies in the original works are often of different shapes and are full of fun, and can capture the moments of the magpies.
- Double Hook Technique:
- The double hook technique in "Double Hook Magpie Diagram" is the key. A double hook is a way to outline an object with lines and then fill in the color. Observe whether the magpie's contour line is smooth and natural, whether the ink color is appropriate, and whether the color is uniform and full.
- Details:
- Pay attention to the details of the magpie's feathers, such as the layering, texture, and direction of the feathers, whether they are handled properly. The feathers in the original work are often able to express the three-dimensional and fluffy sense of the magpie.

3. Analyze brushwork, ink and color
- Use of pen and ink:
- Qi Baishi's use of brush and ink is extremely concise and varied. Observe whether the brush and ink in the work are natural and smooth, whether the ink color changes in shade and dryness, and whether the pen has a strong sense of style and rhythm.
- Color Matching:
- In terms of color, Qi Baishi's works are bright and bright, but they are harmonious and unified. Observe whether the color matching in the work is coordinated and whether it conforms to Qi Baishi's artistic style.
Fourth, the examination of the title and seal
- Title content:
- Carefully identify the content of the inscription, including the author's signature, the time of creation, the inscription poem or inscription, etc. The inscription is one of the important bases for identifying authenticity, and it needs to be compared and analyzed with Qi Baishi's artistic style and calligraphy characteristics.
- Seal Authenticity:
- Seals are an important auxiliary means to identify the authenticity of calligraphy and painting works. Observe whether the seals in the work are clear and recognizable, and whether they match the seals commonly used by Qi Baishi. At the same time, you can also consult relevant information or consult experts to verify the authenticity of the seal.

5. Comprehensive judgment and auxiliary basis
- Overall Feeling:
- Through the comprehensive observation and analysis of the work, the overall feeling of the work is formed. Authentic works can often give people a strong artistic appeal and visual impact.
- Auxiliary basis:
- If conditions permit, you can consult relevant literature or consult expert opinions as an auxiliary basis. At the same time, you can also pay attention to the source and circulation of the work to further verify the authenticity of the work.
To sum up, the identification of Qi Baishi's "Double Hook Magpie Diagram" demonstrated by Qi Liangchi requires comprehensive consideration of many factors. In the observation of magpie painting, the analysis of the color of the brush and ink, the investigation of the inscription seal, etc., it is necessary to analyze and compare in detail to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the identification.
