He is on par with Qi Baishi, Li Keran and others. An unfinished work, Taoyuan Map, was sold at Sotheby's auction in Hong Kong for 225 million RMB, setting a new record in the history of calligraphy and painting transactions in China.
Zhang Daqian's accomplishments in the field of art are beyond doubt and his influence is unprecedented. Unfortunately, there are two major stains in his life: one is wanton destruction of Dunhuang murals; Second, private life is chaotic.
Zhang Daqian * * * has four spouses, and he also has an affair with his close friend Li Qiujun, which has caused controversy in public opinion.
I lost my partner and escaped into an empty door. If I can't stand my lust, I will ask for secularization again.
Zhang Daqian, formerly known as Zhang Zhengquan, was born in Neijiang, Sichuan. His first love was his cousin Xie Shunhua. They are similar in age and grew up together, which can be described as childhood friends. So at the age of 17, Zhang Zhengquan got engaged to Xie Shunhua under the arrangement of his parents. Marriage is the best of both worlds, and this young couple is also a match made in heaven.
Unfortunately, Xie Shunhua died of tuberculosis and hemoptysis a few months before the wedding. Zhang Zhengquan lost his fiancee, so he went to Shanghai Zen Temple to become a monk. Taking the meaning of "one day in the cave, the world has been thousands of years", he decided to call it "Daqian". Zhang Daqian was determined not to marry for life and mourned his dead wife's life beside the ancient Buddha.
In less than three months, Zhang Daqian felt that life in the Buddhist temple was boring, and secular desires often harassed him, making him feel lonely. Just then, Zhang sent his second brother to Shanghai to persuade him to go home.
Zhang Daqian was defeated by temptation. Faced with colorful secularism, he wavered in his original intention and finally chose to return to secularism. Even after leaving Buddhism, he did not give up the name "Daqian" and regarded it as a masterpiece of his life.
Cheating and concubinage are all things, and they are not satisfied when they are old.
After returning to his hometown, Zhang Daqian's parents arranged another marriage for him, and the object was his mother's niece Zeng. She used to be a traditional woman, honest and honest, but she couldn't read or draw, so she suffered a lot after marriage and had nothing to say with her husband.
During the two years after marriage, Zhang Daqian traveled around, creating art on the way, leaving his wife alone in the boudoir. In a foreign land, Zhang Daqian met Huang Ningsu, who is older than small 8.
When they met, Huang Ningsu was in the prime of life, 15 years old. She is gorgeous and moving, and she also has great opinions on painting, which makes Zhang Daqian very happy. In the same year, Zhang Daqian took her home to get married.
Zeng Qingrong has been married for many years, which makes Mrs. Zeng quite vocal; However, Huang Ningsu's stomach is very disappointing, and a * * * gave birth to eight children, so Mrs. Zeng didn't mind that she had a superior history, but she was extremely concerned about her.
For Zhang Daqian, Huang Ningsu is not only his spiritual companion, but also the source of his artistic creation. Most of his pictures of ladies are based on Huang Ningsu. In his eyes, she is the muse.
1934, Zhang Daqian lived in Beiping and took a fancy to drummer Yang on the overpass. It is said that when Zhang Daqian was listening to a book, his eyes rested on Yang's delicate hands. Her hands are as thick as jade, her fingers are like sharp bamboo shoots, and her wrists are like snow.
Zhang Daqian was eager for success and sent his second wife, Huang Ningsu, to lobby. Zhang's parents are worried that their first two daughters-in-law will complain. They know Zhang Daqian's stubborn temper, so they only agree to give Yang the position of concubine.
The wind and water turned, and Huang Ningsu tasted the cold shoulder for the first time. After more than ten years of marriage, she didn't know that Zhang Daqian was a man who liked the new and hated the old until Yang appeared. At that time, Zhang Daqian traveled around and Yang was the only one around him.
Huang Ningsu is bored at home, wandering around the street at leisure, but tired of playing cards, soaking in casinos all day. At the same time, she also had a relationship with a beautiful boy. 1946, the relationship between Zhang and Huang completely broke down and officially divorced.
However, the final winner was Xu Wenbo, the last wife of Zhang Daqian and the wife who accompanied him for the longest time. Zhang Daqian made a will before his death, leaving 94% of his property to her, while other wives and children only got 6%.
White hair and red makeup make teachers and students love each other.
Xu Wenbo was a classmate of Zhang Daqian's eldest daughter Zhang Xinrui. Because I have admired Zhang Daqian for a long time, I personally called on Zhang Daqian to accept her as an apprentice. Zhang Daqian, 44, was deeply moved by the cardamom girl of 14 years old. Despite the age disparity, Zhang Daqian showed his love while teaching painting skills.
Xu Wenbo also acquiesced in this relationship, and they started an underground romance for four years.
The people of JOE are firmly opposed to Xu Wenbo marrying Zhang Daqian, who is 30 years older than her, even though she is a famous painter. But then Xu Wenbo was pregnant with Chang's flesh and blood, which made Xu Jiaren have to compromise.
So, 18-year-old Xu Wenbo married a son and 48-year-old Zhang Daqian, a young wife with white hair and red makeup, and spent the rest of her life hand in hand. In his later years, accompanied by Xu Wenbo, Zhang Daqian traveled to Taiwan Province and Hongkong.
1983, Zhang Daqian died and none of his children attended the funeral. Only his disciples came to die, which is also a kind of retribution. As the saying goes, "if morality is not in place, there will be disaster." I think Zhang Daqian is in the grave and feels guilty for his wife, concubines and children who have been disappointed.
