1, You Chuntu is not Ma Ji Chuan alone, but Liu * * *.
You Chuntu's buying and selling among antique dealers is a special topic in the book Talking about Old Antiques (published by Beijing Press19961October) written by Mr. Chen Chongyuan, a famous antique expert in Beijing Liulichang, which accurately describes You Chuntu's acquisition process and ownership of property rights.
At that time, Mu Panchen of Liulichang Village invited Ma Jichuan and Feng Zhanru and Wen (Feng sent his apprentice Qiu Zhicheng there) to receive the goods. This time, * * * bought more than ten paintings, including You Chuntu. Back in Beijing, they stopped in Shenyang and were received by Li, manager of Chonggu Zhai. Because Li had helped Mu sell a volume of Fu Taozan by Fan Zhongyan, and no agency fee was charged, Mu returned the favor and invited Li to cooperate in the management of You Chuntu. In this way, a You Chuntu is mainly composed of Mu Panchen, and the goods are Chonggu Zhai, Wenzhen Zhai and Fish Pond Mountain House. Four * * * the same sales. Li and his gang actually split into three shares. He has an appointment with Wei and Hao Baochu. In the northeast, no matter who buys the goods, three people have to cooperate, so there are actually six groups of goods, that is, the Youchun map purchased at that time belongs to six * * *.
2. Majichuan has no right to dispose of You Chuntu alone.
As one of the shareholders, Mr. Yoshikawa did not decide to sell Youchuntu without authorization, which is not only the regulation of the antique industry in that year, but also the concrete embodiment of the professional ethics of "peer participation and interests * * *" advocated by Mr. Yoshikawa when he was elected as the president of the antique chamber of commerce.
Mr. Li, one of the shareholders of You Chuntu, was also the direct agent of the sale at that time. On February 26th, 20 101,he provided written confirmation materials about You Chuntu (hereinafter referred to as documentary evidence), in which Article 3 clearly stated that "any shareholder has no right to dispose of You Chuntu alone". It can be seen that the sale of You Chuntu can only be carried out after the six shareholders reach an agreement.
This transaction is conducted through intermediary, not direct transaction. In the whole process, Ma Ji Chuan never talked directly with Zhang Boju.
The actual transaction process of this ticket business is conducted through the middleman Mr. Ma Baoshan, rather than the direct transaction between Zhang (Boju) and Ma (Ji Chuan) as mentioned in many inaccurate articles. Throughout the process, Zhang Ma never spoke directly. The descendants of Mr. Yoshikawa made a special trip to Mr. Ma Baoshan to verify this matter, and Ma Lao was outspoken about it.
In the second issue of China Heritage in 2004, Ma Guoqing, the son of Mr. Ma Baoshan, wrote the article "Saving the Treasure in Changchun". It is clearly pointed out in the article that Zhang Boju wants to buy You Chuntu after learning that it is backward. He is a famous collector of antique paintings and calligraphy at home and abroad. He bought Lu Ji's Ping Fu Tie, Li Bai's Tiantai Tie, Du Mu's Zhang Shi, Fan Zhongyan's Fu Tao Zan, Xue Shui Gui Ji Tu and so on. Zhang Boju and my father are close friends, so he can't take a message with Ma Ji, but Qiu Zhensheng asks my father to fulfill it.
Mr. Chen Chongyuan also described this conversation with Mr. Qiu Zhensheng, one of the parties, in the book Old News and Antiques: "1987, on the occasion of Qiu Zhensheng's 80th birthday, he talked with the author (Chen Chongyuan) about this past event more than 40 years ago. He said,' I have never smoked or drunk all my life, and I am a serious antique pedestrian. Zhang Boju knows me. I introduced it to Ma Baoshan when he bought your spring pictures. Later, I learned that Ma Baoshan was the intermediary of You Chuntu's transaction because he had no goods. " "。
It was not Ma Ji Chuan who represented the seller at that time, but Mr. Li. Li Lao clearly pointed out in Article 4 of the Proof Materials: "When selling to Zhang Boju, Ma Baoshan was the middleman and I was the seller's representative".
Mr. Chen Chongyuan's book also confirms this point. Mr. Qiu Zhensheng once said to Chen: At that time, no one would say who bought the good goods, and it was very secret to do this business. There are two national treasures in Changchun's calligraphy and painting, one is You Chuntu by Zhan Ziqian, and the other is Fu Taozan by Fan Zhongyan, both of which were acquired by the Panchen Lama and later sold to Zhang Boju. Fu Taozan was first sold by the Panchen Lama to Jin Bosheng, and then by Jin Bosheng to Zhang Boju. You Chuntu was sold by Li himself.
In the book, Mr. Chen Chongyuan also described in detail a conversation with Mr. Li, one of the parties: 1992 paid a New Year call to Mr. Li, then 82, and talked about You Chuntu during the Spring Festival. The author (Chen Chongyuan) asked: "Uncle Li! The You Chuntu you sold to Zhang Boju has become a hot topic now, and many articles have been published in the newspaper. An article said it was sold in Ji Chuan, Ma. What is this? " Li said to him, "The matter itself is not that complicated. What a simple thing, when a scholar writes and describes it, it becomes lively. This transaction is smooth and simple. After six * * * negotiations with the goods, Mu Panchen made the final decision and sold it to Zhang Boju for two hundred and twenty gold. Everyone recommended that I take You Chuntu to Ma Baoshan's house to meet Zhang Boju. We have a middleman, a buyer, a seller, and three people face to face and trade with one hand. "
In addition, it should be noted that You Chuntu was never stored in the Fish Pond Mountain House, but in the home of Mr. Mu Panchen. Mr. Li affirmed this in the second point of Documentary Evidence.
4. The theory that works are sold to foreigners
Ma Jichuan and others said in some inaccurate articles that they would sell You Chuntu to foreigners, which is pure slander. The first article of Mr. Li's documentary evidence clearly pointed out that all the shareholders of You Chuntu at that time had no intention of selling the painting to foreigners. All the parties and witnesses who respect history, facts and conscience have also confirmed this.
Although antique dealers are "mercenary" businessmen, they also have professional ethics and patriotism. More importantly, they have contributed to the protection and inheritance of cultural relics.
Mr. Ma Guoqing mentioned in the article "Saving the Treasure in Changchun":1After the Japanese army was defeated and surrendered in 945, Puyi and others fled hastily. Except for 120 precious calligraphy and painting, the rest of the 1000 precious calligraphy and painting ancient books left in Xiaobailou of Puppet Manchu Palace fell into the hands of the puppet troops on duty. These priceless national treasures were destroyed by the puppet troops. At that time, the situation was turbulent and the Palace Museum was unable to save these national treasures. At this time, the antique dealer of Liulichang stepped forward and went to Changchun to rescue the treasure with private strength. The antique dealer, represented by Mr. Ma Baoshan, even took a huge risk of closing the auction house and borrowed usury from the bank for three months to save the treasure. Mr. Ma Baoshan once said: "I can't watch everything left by my ancestors be destroyed!" We all know that these things are only safe in the hands of experts. "For cultural relics, the most distressing thing is that they are damaged first and flow out second. Liulichang people are a very special group. As businessmen and intellectuals, they are quite familiar with the past. The treasure handed down from generation to generation often determines its own destination in its hands. Antique dealers, represented by Mr. Ma, take practical actions to preserve these precious cultural relics, spend money to buy them to avoid damage, and even adhere to the principle of "selling only foreigners, not foreigners" under the pressure of huge capital turnover to avoid the outflow of national treasures. In his memoirs, Ma Lao once commented on antique dealers who came to treasure: "These people who came here are heroes who protect cultural heritage for the benefit or collection. "
Although Mr. Ji Chuan has no higher education, he has always had a patriotic heart, educating his children and future generations to love his country and family. 1947, Fish Pond Mountain House sent five national treasures, including hand scrolls and an album, to the Palace Museum for collection, all of which were recorded in the official website of the Palace Museum. (Note: It was recorded in official website's "1947 Memorabilia" in the Palace Museum, but the Fish Pond Mountain House was mistakenly written.
5. Zhang Qun wants to buy works.
An article mentioned that Zhang Qun wanted to buy Youchuntu, which was a rumor at that time and had no definite basis. Zhang Qun did go to Yuchi Mountain House during the period of 1946, but whether it is related to You Chuntu remains to be verified. In his book, Mr. Chen Chongyuan also devoted a paragraph entitled "Two Letters from Zhang Qun to the Fish Pond House" to illustrate this matter. The article said: Zhang Qun has a large collection of calligraphy and painting. Before the Anti-Japanese War, Ma Ji Chuan, the shopkeeper of Yuchi Mountain House in Beijing Liulichang, mounted calligraphy and painting for him. This time, he came to Liulichang and went to the Fish Pond Mountain House. Whether to frame or buy a painting, Ma Jichuan kept it a secret.
Some people in the same trade know that Ma Jichuan once bought a new and oldest famous painting in China in partnership with others-Zhan Ziqian's You Chuntu. They guessed that the painting was for Zhang Qun, and they wanted to buy it. Then, they spread some news far from the truth, which has been circulating for decades. Rumors about "You Chuntu" appeared in Beijing newspapers in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The author (decorated by Chen Chongyuan) is fortunate to know Li who bought and sold You Chuntu with Ma Jichuan, and Ma Baoshan, the middleman when You Chuntu was sold. They all said, "You Chuntu was mainly bought and sold by Mu Panchen, the former manager of Mushroom Village in Changchun. This painting was taken to Beiping and has been at the home of Mubanchen. What does Qun think of this matter? ! "
