In Wang Zhengchun's collection, there is a famous calligraphy and painting that is particularly mysterious. The calligraphy and painting reads "not heaven, not life, not luck, not money" and is signed by Kang Youwei. This calligraphy and painting is collected by Wang Zhengchun. There was a lot of furniture put together at that time. This calligraphy and painting is like a gift, and it was given to him with furniture. However, when Wang Zhengchun brought these things home, he found that it turned out to be a painting by Kang Youwei. "To tell the truth, I don't know whether it is true or not until now, but when I collected it, the calligraphy and painting were framed by Japanese craftsmanship. Some people wanted to buy it at a high price, but I didn't sell it." □ Reporter Fang Haizheng Photojournalist Park Feng

Kangyouwei calligraphy and painting
I don't know if it's true or not, but I still cherish it.
Wang Zhengchun collects and likes to "buy goods" in batches. "Find a familiar and reliable person, buy a lot of things, and then work out a total price to pay together. Kang Youwei's calligraphy and painting are collected in this way. " At that time, Wang Zhengchun went to Shandong mainly to collect furniture. "I have a beautiful screen of the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, which was collected together that time. Because I received a lot of things at once, the other party asked me if I wanted some calligraphy and painting. I have studied calligraphy and am very interested in calligraphy and painting, so I accepted it. " After these collections were transported from Shandong to Dalian, Wang Zhengchun began to appreciate them slowly and carefully. "Looking at these things, I am so satisfied." At that time, Wang Zhengchun found a calligraphy and painting signed by Kang Youwei. "This is a surprise and there is a feeling of finding treasure."
Many people know that Kang Youwei is because of the Reform Movement of 1898. "In fact, Kang Youwei is also a very famous calligrapher," said Wang Zhengchun. Kang Youwei was a scholar in Guangxu period of Qing Dynasty. He comes from an official's family and is a prominent family in Guangdong. In today's words, Kang Youwei's family is definitely an intellectual family. His family has been Confucianism for generations, and his family has been handed down from Neo-Confucianism. Because of his connection with the emperor, even if the Reform Movement of 1898 failed, Kang Youwei couldn't keep a low profile if he wanted to. Although Kang Youwei's political influence is great and recorded in history, in fact, his contribution to calligraphy art is by no means inferior to his achievements on the political stage. He is not only an outstanding politician, but also a great book critic after Ruan Yuan and Bao.
In the 15th year of Guangxu (1889), Kang Youwei wrote the book Two Boats of Guangyi, which made a comprehensive and systematic summary of the study of steles in theory. The book puts forward the theory of "respecting steles", vigorously promotes the stele study in Han, Wei and Six Dynasties, and has a far-reaching impact on the prosperity of stele calligraphy. In today's words, Kang Youwei's book can definitely be used. People who can write calligraphy textbooks are absolutely awesome. Just like Pang Zhonghua's copybooks are all the rage, it takes strength and good handwriting to convince people. Kang Youwei's calligraphy should also be copied at that time. Now, when he is free, Wang Zhengchun also likes to copy Kang Youwei's calligraphy and painting, but until now, he is not sure whether it is true or not. "I didn't ask the relevant person to identify it, because when I received it, this calligraphy and painting was my unexpected income, but a big boss came from Beijing and must buy it as a gift, but I didn't sell it."

Besides writing, Kang Youwei also invests in real estate.
When talking about this calligraphy and painting, Wang Zhengchun told reporters, "When I first received it, this calligraphy and painting was mounted with Japanese craftsmanship. As we all know, after the failure of the political reform, Kang Youwei went to Japan and stayed in Japan for a while. The content of this calligraphy and painting is very negative, which is also in line with Kang Youwei's mentality at that time. " Speaking of the story of Kang Youwei's exile in Japan, Wang Zhengchun said that because cultural relics carry culture, he often looks for stories behind some cultural relics to read. "Looking at this calligraphy and painting, I will think that Kang Youwei was exiled and depressed, but what did he do later?" Needless to say, with this in mind, Wang Zhengchun really found a related story:1In the spring of 899, Kang Youwei left Japan for Vancouver. After that, he lived in Canada, Mexico and the United States for two years. Feng, an overseas Chinese, helped him buy a house in Canada. After renovation, he gave the house an antique name: "Liao". There are many islands here, surrounded by snow-capped mountains. Kang Youwei swims an island every day, sings boating and enjoys the wonderful scenery of North America. However, he still misses his hometown. During this period, Sun Yat-sen and others contacted Kang Youwei many times and discussed cooperation matters many times, but because Kang Youwei insisted on protecting the emperor, the negotiations failed.
In order to raise the cost of traveling around the world, Kang Youwei engaged in commercial activities and real estate business while traveling and inspecting. 1906 Spring Festival, Kang Youwei visited Mexico. At that time, Mexico City was raising funds to build trams. Kang Youwei used donations from overseas Chinese to buy real estate where the tram tracks passed. Soon after, the prices of these properties rose several times, which made him earn a net profit of 654.38 million silver dollars, about 7 million yuan today. Kang Youwei also obtained funds by writing articles, giving speeches and carrying out some public welfare activities. These activities were very effective, which not only solved his financial difficulties, but also gave him a lot of money to support his relatives and friends. For example, he pays Liang Qichao and his family 5000 silver dollars every year.

Ancient folding chairs-location
Not a cultural relic, but there are many stories.
In Wang Zhengchun's collection, beds and cabinets bearing a heavy sense of history can certainly make people feel the vicissitudes of history, but various chairs also have various stories. The most advanced chair in Wang Zhengchun is placed in front of the round table. The reporter inadvertently picked up the seat cushion on the chair and found that its structure was somewhat similar to Mazar. "If you say this is an improved Mazar, I think so." Wang Zhengchun cheerfully told reporters, "First of all, the top spot is relatively light. Song Dynasty poet wrote in Qing Louis: "When you shrink for a while, you won't weigh a few pounds." In our current words, it is very light. This is not a cultural relic, but because there are many special stories, I have a collection. "
1996, Christie's auction house in New York, USA, once auctioned a top famous product of Huang Huali, and many people went to bid. Finally, it was photographed by a rich man in the United States for more than half a million dollars, and later donated to a museum in the United States. "You see, 1996, the number one is so expensive that I couldn't afford it at that time." Wang Zhengchun said jokingly. At that time, the American museum felt very fresh when it received such a donation, so it was put in the museum for tourists to sit on. This move is similar to what Wang Zhengchun is doing now. As long as he collects things, everyone can sit and lie down, as he said, "things lose their meaning when they are not used." However, the top spot in the American museum was finally collapsed by a fat man. After being repaired by experts, it was no longer allowed to sit.

Su Dongpo fell a fart at the top of the list.
Wang Zhengchun also told reporters that a famous person was among the best in the history of China. "He is Su Dongpo. On one occasion, Su Dongpo went to Runzhou, now Zhenjiang, Jiangsu Province, where local officials hosted a banquet. At the end of the dinner, everyone sang Huang Tingjian's word "tea". "Only a cup of spring grass can drive away a good guest." Spring grass here refers to tea. Su Dongpo, who is still unfinished, joked:' Do you want me to eat grass because you keep me?' After that, everyone laughed their heads off. Su Dongpo sat in a top position, and the top position collapsed. He fell off a fart pier. Speaking of which, the reporter quickly asked Wang Zhengchun if he was not the top spot in cultural relics. Wang Zhengchun smiled. "That's not true." He didn't forget to joke, "I'm waiting for a big fat man to sit down. "
