was born in a small village named "Stars Pond", from Xingtan County in Hunan Province. He studied very little at school where he learnt some poetry. His family was poor and he was therefore forced to abandon his studies at an early eage. At fifteen years old, he began his apprenticeship in a carpenter's shop. When he was twenty, he became famous for his fine techniques on decorative wood carving and religious portrait paintings. At twenty-seven, he learnt classical literature and traditional Grass and Insects paintings from Hu Qinyuan e Chen Shaofan. At thirty-two, he organized jointly with seven friends a poets society called "Longshan" and was in turn elected the director. Since 1902, he travelled frequently and became acquainted with a lot of people. Since then, his love and vision for literature and art became blossomed. In order to escape from the social chaos, he chose to live in Beijing in 1917 and became acquinted with Chen Siceng. Two years later, Qi changed his painting style from a realistic to a more spiritual expression. In 1922, Chen Siceng took some of his works to participate in an exhibition in Japan. His paintings were greatly appreciated and were sold at a good price. In 1927 and 1928, he was invited by Lin Fengmian and Xu Beihong to teach in the Baijing Art School and the Faculty of Art, University of Beijing. In 1946, when the Chinese Artist Association was founded, he was elected honorary Director. In 1950, he was invited to be the Honorary Professor of the Central Academy of Arts and in 1955, he was awarded the International Peace Prize.
The Exhibition of Paintings, Caligraphies and Seals of the grand Master Qi Baishi is finally presented in Macau by the Macau Chinese Culture and Arts Association. The purpose of this exhibition is to introduce to the Macau residents and people from different parts of the world the graceful Chinese culture and create an opportunity for appreciation and learning of the Chinese art. The exhibit includes sixty paintings and caligraphies and forty seals by Master Qi which are from the collection of the Hunan Provincial Museum. During the middle of December last year, leading members from the Association visited Hunan Province to select items for exhibition. The birthplace of the Master was completely covered with snow and there was nothing more than a few huts. How hard it must have been for the Master to learn and to become a great painter! With the cordial support from the Hunan Provincial Museum and the Museum of Macau, one hundred pieces of Qi's works are being exhibited over a period of one month. The University of Macau has gratefully given the sponsorship for the edition of an exhibition catalogue.

Qi Baishi (Ch'i Pai Shih) is one of the greatest Chinese painters. Chinese tradition places essences, character, and spirit above the simple faithfulness to appearances. Qi Baishi's paintings well represent the Chinese tradition, but in an innovative form and style. Though the art of Qi Baishi was originated from nature, which one can learn from his paintings of animals, insects, and flowers, he painted them in a way nobody else had achieved before. He once said, "The excellence of a painting lies in its being alike, yet unlike. Too much likeness flatters the vulgar taste; too much unlikeness deceives the world." Qi Baishi had developed his style over his life-long learning, studying, and innovation. His paintings were not matured until his late life.
He was born in Xiangtan, Hunan Province, on Jan. 1, 1864. His birthday was in 1863 based on the Chinese lunar calendar. His family was poor like most Chinese families and they lived on the cultivation of rice on a small piece of land. At seven, he learned about 300 Chinese characters his grandfather was able to teach. He only had one year formal education when he was eight years old. The tuition for the one year was paid using his mother's saving.
Qi Baishi's major activities are summarized below:
• 1877: When he was sixteen, he started to learn carpentering with Zhou Zhimei, a woodcarver.
• 1881: At 19, Qi Baishi married with Chen Chunjun (1863-1940).
• 1888: Qi Baishi started to learn painting with Xiao Xianghai, who was the finest portraitist in Xiangtan. Studied calligraphy and literature under Hu Qinyuan and Chen Shaofan, respectively.
• 1899: Qi Baishi became a student of Wang Xiangyi, who was one of the most influential scholars of the time.
• 1892-1901: Joined the Dragon Hill Poetry Society and the Longshan Poetry Society.
• 1902-1909: Five trips. He was invited by Xia Wuyi to Xi'an. He toured Beilin there, where there were over 1,400 stone tablets engraved with writings by China's finest masters of calligraphy. Later, he went to Beijing, the capital, with Xia Wuyi. He was then introduced to some big names of arts, such as the jinshi-degree scholars Zeng Xi and Li Ruiquan.
