Front: 1. Huayue and Gaoqiu. Imitation of Yan Youxiang's Xiling Chunyun brush. It's like teaching an old friend in a dormitory. Love.

The game of chiseling immortals with axes, the ape's cave is dark. Chasing after Li Bai with a long chant, catching flying stars from high places.

This is an extremely rare, one-handled fan with historical value. The "Ding Chou June 21st" mentioned in Zhang Daqian's inscription is July 28, 1937 in Yangju. This is the day after the Marco Polo Bridge Incident that the Japanese army launched an all-out attack on North China and occupied Beijing; on the same day, At that time, Tong Linge, deputy commander of the 29th Army of the Chinese Army, and Zhao Dengyu, commander of the 132nd Division, died in the battle to defend Beijing, becoming the first senior generals to sacrifice their lives for the country in the eight-year Sino-Japanese War.

Zhang Daqian vividly preserved the records of those who experienced the changes in his postscript: "In the morning of June 21st, Ding Chou, the iron bird Jiuai, swept past the roof tiles and laid twenty eggs. "It's strange that it fell to the west of the lake, and the crowd was astonished!" This is consistent with what is recorded in "Zhang Da Qian Pu"... It was evening (Note: 27th), and most of the residents of the Summer Palace fled. In the end, only the husband (Note: Zhang Daqian) and his family were left. It is completely consistent with another family named Yang... after nightfall, they suddenly heard gunfire. The two families, four adults and six children, hurriedly went into the basement under the big stage in the Tingli Pavilion to take shelter. The Japanese army began to test the attack in the early morning of the 28th. By the day of the 28th, Tong Linge's troops were bombed by more than 40 Japanese aircraft and ground attacks by more than 3,000 mechanized troops. Zhang Daqian's records provide some insights into this battle. historical data.

The inscription and postscript record the most tragic day in China’s modern history, but Zhang Daqian’s “Huayue Gaoqiu” is a completely different world of splendor. In September 1934, Zhang Daqian visited Huashan for the first time, and later published his photography "Huashan Painting". In October of the following year, he visited Huashan again. Since then, he has repeatedly used this as his subject. The northern stone mountain gave him the best object to express the complex structure of the mountain. "Hua Yue Gao Qiu" is decorated with golden and green colors, densely packed mountains and rocks, with white clouds as its breath, waterfalls as its blood veins, and cold-colored green mountains highlighting the warm-colored mountain pavilion in the middle. In addition to the colors of cyan, stone green, ocher and white powder, gold powder is used to outline the mountain bones and lined with gold ground. It is gorgeous and brilliant, with a bright and strange beauty. On the other hand, although the lady Feng Chaoran lamented that she was "stupid in writing and ink", she actually showed her graceful charm.

Inscriptions and paintings, reality and ideals, are so contradictory that they exist in a small pair of pliers. The past has gone, but history and art have always survived, leaving them to the world. Various flavors.
