Zhang Boju is aloof, even at the wedding, everyone is talking and laughing. When he saw his lover, he sat alone touching his chin and pulling out his beard. Although he is as rich as an enemy, he doesn't smoke or drink, and he doesn't care about clothes. Zhang Boju attaches great importance to honesty and is determined to become a celebrity. He and Pudong, Xia and Huang, right? Ye Gongchuo, Liu Haisu, Zhang Daqian, Mei Lanfang, Yu Shuyan and many other poets, painters and actresses are good friends. He hit it off with his cousin Yuan. He admired Han Yun's anti-imperialist character of "not pitying the wind and rain, not climbing the Qionglou". The two sang plum blossoms and * * * took the stage, which was called "two talented people in Xiangcheng". Leng Yun died young, and the pony was afraid.
One day, he walked into an antique calligraphy and painting shop, and the clerk greeted him warmly. He nodded with a smile and walked slowly. As he was walking, he suddenly stopped in front of a glass cabinet and stared at the banner that read "Cong Bi Fang Shan". Please take out this ink and have a look. Boju said to the clerk. The clerk quickly took it out and put it on the glass cabinet. "oh! These four words are so elegant and vigorous! This is a stroke of genius. " Bo Ju said to himself in surprise. By who? The word "Cong Bi" was first seen in Fan Chengda's Poems of Thousand Stone Ridges in Song Dynasty, among which "Floating mountains are much heavier and stumble into Cong Bi". He thought and looked at the signature and seal. Ah! Isn't this the imperial pen of Emperor Kangxi? This is a national treasure! His eyes suddenly lit up, and he looked at it carefully to make sure it was genuine. Without saying anything, he asked the price, paid the money and carefully put it away.
Although Zhang Boju's collection is not as much as Pang Yuanji's, its quality is by no means lower than Ponzi's. The vast majority of Zhang Boju's collections are famous works of Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties, and most of them are well-known masterpieces. Some of them are recorded in Song Dynasty's Xuanhe Painting Spectrum and Secret Pavilion Painting Record, while others are recorded in Qingganlong's Shiqu Baodi. Take Zhang's poems by Du Mu in Tang Dynasty as an example, which is one of the most important calligraphy in Tang Dynasty. In the Northern Song Dynasty, he entered Xuanhe Neifu, Xuanhe Park Shu-lu, Song Huizong Evonne signed, Xuanhe Yuan. It was stolen by treacherous court official Jia in the Southern Song Dynasty. Yuan Dynasty was collected by collector Zhang Yan. In the Ming Dynasty, it flowed into Dong Qichang's hands and was engraved in Xihongtang's post. Liang Qingbiao, a great expert collector, entered the Qing Dynasty. Puyi, the last emperor, took him to Changchun, where the Xiaobailou incident happened, which flowed into the people and was taken by Zhang Boju. He also spent 40,000 yuan to eat the earliest extant calligraphy masterpiece Ping Fu Tie by Lu Ji in the Western Jin Dynasty, sold a villa (the villa of former eunuch Li) and his wife's jewelry, and bought the earliest extant landscape painting You Chuntu by Sui Zhanzi Qian and Post on the Stage by Tang Libai for 5,000 yuan.
Zhang Boju is well-read and versatile. Besides studying poetry and loving painters, he also studied seal cutting. He used to learn from Chen Banding and Mei Lanfang. The seal of "Double-pupil Villager" was made by Chen Banding at his invitation. Zhang Boju once made a seal for his wife, "Painting after the event", and published The Analects of Confucius. Zhang Boju skillfully borrowed this seal and gave it a new meaning: laughing at his own painting after "Su". Sue, an ordinary woman who accompanied him for nearly half a century.
