First, Hibaki Jinji's "Ping Fu Tie"
Zhang Boju was afraid that "Ping Fu Tie" would be stolen, so he entrusted Han Jun, who was studying in Guzhai, to tell Xinyu Pu not to let it go abroad again. Zhang Boju can accept it if it wants. If Xinyu Pu is in urgent need of money, he can also mortgage this position. 1937, Shanghai Literature Exhibition was held in Xia Ye 'an, and Zhang Daqian was entrusted to pay tribute to Xinyu Pu, demanding 60,000 yuan. Xinyu Pu still demanded 200,000 yuan, but failed. When the Lugouqiao Incident happened, Zhang Boju wanted to lend Xinyu Pu 6,543,800 yuan as collateral. The next day, Fu Zengxiang told Zhang Boju that Xinyu Pu might as well spend 40,000 yuan to buy it. So, Zhang Boju paid 20,000 yuan in advance years ago, and the balance was paid off two months later. "Reply Post" was given to Zhang Boju by Fu Zengxiang, with an inscription on it. At that time, Bai planned to buy "Pingping Iron" and resell it to the Japanese. The price of 200,000 yuan is also easy, but "Pingtie" has already arrived in Zhang Boju.
Second, the Sui Zhanzi modest' You Chuntu' volume
You Chuntu by Zhan Ziqian in Sui Dynasty was sold to Ma Ji Chuan for 800 taels of gold. This volume is recorded in Xuanhe Painting Spectrum, which is the oldest painting trace in the world. Zhang Boju and Yu Sibo went to Ma Heng and told him that this book should be returned to the Palace Museum. The hospital should write to the antique chamber of commerce first, and then negotiate. If the hospital is short of funds, Zhang Boju is willing to turn losses into profits. But Ma Heng didn't agree. Zhang Boju had to personally buy Tibet, warning manufacturers that this volume was related to history and could not leave the country, which led to its outflow abroad. Later, Mo Bao Zhaimabaoshan came forward to negotiate and set the price at 220 taels of gold. At that time, Zhang Boju made great contributions in the Song and Yuan Dynasties, and was hard up, so he had to sell the property he lived in to pay off his debts. More than a month later, Zhang Qun, the Nanjing government, came to Beijing to inquire about this volume and offered four or five hundred taels of gold for this painting. Ma Ji Chuan regretted it too late.
Third, Du Mu's "Zhang Tang Poetry"
In the Tang Dynasty, Du Mu's Collection of Poems by Zhang, 1950, was received by Jin Bosheng's younger brother in Northeast China and brought to Beijing. Qin Zhongwen told Zhang Boju that Hui Xiaotong had this volume of calligraphy, fearing that he would buy it if he knew. But when asked about Hui Xiaotong, he learned that Hui Xiaotong did not stay, but was taken to Shanghai by Jin. Zhang Boju rushed to Tommabaoshan to pursue this book, and found it in less than a month. Zhang Boju, ecstatic, spent more than 5,000 yuan to buy it.
Before 1960, Zhang Boju had 1 17 ancient paintings and calligraphy works. Although the number is not huge, it covers the history of China painting and calligraphy. Among them, there are 6 paintings and calligraphy treasures from the Tang Dynasty and before, 3 paintings and calligraphy from the Song Dynasty, 40 paintings and calligraphy from the Ming Dynasty and 47 paintings and calligraphy from the Qing Dynasty. In addition to the above, Li Bai's "Upper Ties" and Song Huizong's "Snow River Returning to the Mountain" are also great works in China's art history.
