'''Gai Qi''' ([[Chinese character|Chinese:]] 改琦; 1774-1829) was a poet and painter born in the west of China under the [[Qing dynasty]]. As an artist he was active in [[Shanghai]]. In painting his works mainly concerned plants, beauty, and figures. However he also did numerous landscapes. In poetry he preferred the rhyming [[ci]] form and added such poems to his paintings. Though he was from the [[Hui people]], who are Muslim, much of his art involved [[Buddhism]] subjects.
