Origin of the collection: Modern painter Dong Liangda, the only grandson of Dong Shouping. Born in Shanxi, now lives in Beijing. Dong Liangda himself is also good at calligraphy and painting, and his works resemble those of his grandfather Dong Shouping. Following his grandfather since childhood, he has been deeply involved in the calligraphy and painting industry, and he also has certain attainments in the appraisal and collection of calligraphy and painting. The tutor who values ??literature over business makes him not particularly concerned about the price of family calligraphy and paintings. Unless the paintings and calligraphy works left to him by his grandfather were auctioned by the public, he didn't know the price. For him, his grandfather's works were the inheritance of family culture, not capital for future generations to enjoy. ?
