Features: Distinguishing authenticity refers to a category of ancient calligraphy and painting works that bear the author's signature or seals. Our task in identification is to determine whether the works are truly created by the person named or the seals affixed. It is to verify whether the reputation matches the reality, whether the works are genuinely made by the person who signed or stamped them. Some calligraphy and paintings themselves have a strong sense of the times, and the previous evaluations of their era are reliable. However, the signatures and seals may be problematic. This requires the appraiser to discern right from wrong, point out the forgeries of the signatures and seals, while also affirming the credibility of the previous era determinations, and confirming their authenticity, and so on.
