Lu Ji ping fu tie
From 65438 to 0956, the Palace Museum received an extremely precious gift: Zhang Boju, a famous collector, and his wife Pan Su donated their 30-year-old treasures, including Lu Ji's Ping Fu Tie, Du Mu's Zhang Shi, Fan Zhongyan's Fu Tao Zan and Huang Tingjian's cursive script. It's free.
"What adjectives can be used to describe the value of anything donated by Mr. Zhang Boju?" Zhang Hongwei, one of the planners of the TV documentary "The Forbidden City" and the president of the Forbidden City Publishing House, sincerely felt. Zhang Hongwei said that there are two top donors in the Forbidden City, one is Sun Yingzhou who donated porcelain, and the other is Zhang Boju who donated calligraphy and painting. Lu Ji's Ping Fu Tie is the "originator of mountains" in the ink handed down from ancient times. Although it is less than a foot long and only has nine lines, it is covered with the collection chapters of famous artists of all ages. There are many seals of Zhu, and the paper is full of brilliance, which is praised as "the first post in China" by collectors. You Chuntu was painted by Zhan Ziqian, a great painter in Sui Dynasty, more than 1400 years ago, and it is considered as the earliest existing painting in China. "My father just left us something like this, enough for generations to eat. That's a millionaire, a multimillionaire! " Zhang Boju and Pan Su's only daughter, 73-year-old Zhang Chuancai said with a smile. The only old house left by my father in Houhai was in disrepair. She and her wife, two white-haired old people, took a bus to the appointed place for an interview in the rain early in the morning. It is hard to imagine that this 70-year-old man with simple clothes was once a prominent and wealthy Miss Zhang family. At the peak of his life, he owned several quadrangles in Beijing.
Du Mu's Poems by Zhang
"I remember listening to my parents before going to bed one night and saying what to do with this last part of calligraphy and painting. We were young and never asked about our father. But I know that his eyes are very powerful, and the collection is the best of the best. " At the end of 1955, the government issued bonds, calling on people to buy them enthusiastically. Zhang Boju is also full of trust and enthusiasm for this new government. "He told us that this government is not like the Kuomintang, and we should attach importance to it and love it." Zhang Boju, who has always been detached from politics, donated his original Li Bai's Loutaitie to Mao Zedong, who likes calligraphy, through Bing Xu, then head of the United Front Work Department (1958 from Mao Zedong to the Forbidden City). Therefore, after Zhang Boju came back from the mobilization meeting, he and his wife Pan Su discussed buying bonds. "At that time, there was nothing wrong with life at home, but there was not much cash, because money was bought for calligraphy and painting, and there was no money!" Therefore, Zhang Boju and his wife discussed and donated eight fine works collected in the past 30 years to become the eternal collection of the Forbidden City. The 200,000 yuan awarded by the government was politely declined by Zhang Boju. "He simply said,' I've seen a lot of things, and collecting them is like passing clouds, but these things don't have to stay with me forever. I can donate them and let these treasures stay in our country forever. "Zhang Boju's son-in-law building recalled. "Many people don't understand their father. They sold such a big house, changed a position, and then donated this position. What is this for? But I can understand him, I really can understand him. " Lao Zhang Manchuan said calmly: "My father is such a person. He is a man who loves his country. He believes that these cultural relics belong to a country and a nation first. As long as the country can keep them, he will not pay any price. "
According to Mr. Guan Ruizhi, a contemporary senior landscape painter and Chinese painting theorist, in the summer of 1980, when he accompanied,,, and other elderly people to visit the Summer Palace, a leader in Henan asked Guan He: Many celebrities today are considering building museums to record their works of art. Have you considered it? Zhang Lao replied, "My things are in the Forbidden City, so don't take it to heart." . Zhang Lao's answer made everyone present respect him. This is Mr. Zhang Boju's public testimony to his personal collection before 1982 died.
1956 In July, Shen Yanbing, then Minister of Culture, personally presented a commendation order to Zhang Boju who donated eight national treasures. This thin piece of paper was carefully preserved by the Zhang family, which also witnessed the great contribution made by a person who deeply loves China culture to the preservation of national cultural heritage.
