娄师白

Lou Shibai is an author closely associated with the painting art of Qi Baishi. His personal information is limited in publicly available sources, with no clear record of his birth and death years, nationality, or educational background. The library holds five of his works, all centered on Qi Baishi's painting art, including the four-volume Qi Baishi's Painting Art and separate volumes devoted to aquatic animals, flowers and vegetables, birds, insects and animals, and landscapes and figures. These works organize Qi Baishi's artistic achievements by subject, combining appreciation of individual works with biographical overview, and belong to the category of art books. Judging from the topics and arrangement, Lou Shibai's writing emphasizes a systematic classification of Qi Baishi's painting subjects, helping readers understand his brushwork and creative range by genre. The available materials are insufficient to reconstruct his personal experience, and only the above works can confirm his editorial contribution in this field.
