LIU HAI-HSIANG: “Woodblock Prints of Jung Pao-Chai Art Studio” :   The Jung Pao-chai Studio likes to recount the following anecdote:  A woodblock print replica and the original were displayed before QI BAISHI. After prolonged examination, the nonagenarian shook his head, saying, he could not identify which had been produced by his own hand.  (page 74 ff)
