He worked as a monk but married 10 wives, worked as a bandit but was admired by thousands of people, painted fake paintings but was hailed as a national treasure, and was romantic all his life but said: No matter how old you are, you still have to fall in love!
He comes from a scholarly family,
he has been a bandit and a monk,
he has lived overseas for many years,
his big beard is his most eye-catching symbol.
He is proficient in calligraphy, painting, and poetry.
He once interacted and discussed with Picasso , and
was hailed as "the brush of the East" by the Western art world.
Today, 35 years ago,
he passed away due to illness.
His paintings handed down from generation to generation are extremely valuable.
once sold for a sky-high price of 200 million yuan.
has been ranked first among the "Best-Selling Chinese Artists" for five consecutive years.
He has many names,
some people call him the emperor of the painting world,
some people call him the master of the painting world,
even Mr. Xu Beihong also calls him,
"the first person in five hundred years".
When mentioning his name,
people tend to marvel at his artistic achievements.
But what is less known is that
he is also a passionate and talented man,
his romantic affairs are quite legendary.
He is the famous Chinese splash-ink painter,
Zhang Daqian, known as "Tang Yin existed in ancient times, and Daqian exists today".
On May 10, 1899,
Zhang Daqian was born in Neijiang, Sichuan,
from a scholarly family.
Similar to the experience of many "prodigies",
Zhang Daqian could read at the age of four,
could learn Chinese at the age of five,
When he was eight years old,
he began to learn painting from his mother.
When he was eighteen years old,
Zhang Daqian came home for summer vacation. ,
I was encountering "bandits" robbing me on the road.
Seeing that Zhang Daqian was penniless,
the bandits decided to ask him to write a letter,
asking for ransom from his family.
The bandits saw that he could write well,
even called them "heroes" in the letter,
and left him as the "Black Pen Master".
After working as a "bandit" in the mountains for more than a hundred days,
he finally took the opportunity to escape.
And in this year, winter,
Zhang Daqian began his "romantic love story."
In 1917, Zhang Daqian, who had just turned eighteen, was matched by his family and got engaged to his childhood sweetheart and childhood sweetheart, his cousin Xie Shunhua.
Xie Shunhua is three months older than him.
He has a beautiful face and a gentle temperament.
He treats Zhang Daqian with great care.
Whenever there is something delicious and fun,
never forgets to leave it for him.
At that time, Zhang Daqian, who was still childish,
felt unprecedented maternal love and warmth from this slightly older cousin.
Zhang Daqian, who was always naughty and mischievous,
came in front of Xie Shunhua,
immediately seemed like a different person,
became gentle and gentle, with lower eyebrows and kind eyes.
In 1918, Zhang Daqian, who was intoxicated in the sweetness of love, had to go to Japan to study with his second brother Zhang Shanzi.
Just like a newlywed couple who was suddenly separated,
Zhang Daqian had to resist after some ineffective efforts.
I reluctantly said goodbye to Xie Shunhua.
On the day when he went out to study,
it was just dawn,
Xie Shunhua was hiding in the woods outside the village, waiting for him,
gave Zhang Daqian four specially cooked eggs,
and kept sending him to the road.
The two of them agreed that when Zhang Daqian returned from his studies,
they would get married immediately and never separate.
However, something unexpected happened,
Xie Shunhua died of illness at home in the winter of this year.
Zhang Daqian, who was studying in Japan, was devastated when
heard the news.
hurried back to Shanghai from Japan.
But the current situation was turbulent, and
could not rush back to Sichuan in time to pay his respects.
Xie Shunhua's death hit Zhang Daqian deeply.
It was the lingering feelings in the early years of love,
It was also the helplessness and anger towards the person he loved who was separated from the yin and yang.
After returning to Japan,
Zhang Daqian learned from the painful experience,
and then sprouted a lifelong love. The thought of not marrying.
△ Ni's
A year later, Zhang Daqian returned from his studies.
His parents saw that he had lost his soul all day long, so they arranged another marriage for him.
The girl's surname was Ni. She was cute, smart, and virtuous.
Zhang Daqian was immersed in his previous relationship.
After seeing Ni,
he began to hope for love again.
But God's will plays a trick on people.
Just before the two got married,
Ms. Ni suddenly fell into a strange illness.
She became crazy and stupid, and
couldn't take care of herself.
Xie Shunhua died of illness, and Mr. Ni became stupid again.
After the double blow,
Zhang Daqian became more aware of the unpredictable changes in life,
The world is like a chess piece, and the white clouds are like a dog,
Then he came up with the idea of becoming a monk.
In 1920, 21-year-old Zhang Daqian was ordained as a monk at Songjiang Chanding Temple in Shanghai.
It means "one day in the cave, a thousand years have passed in the world",
His official name was "Daqian".
Three months later, Zhang Daqian, who had escaped into Buddhism, was forcibly brought back to his hometown by Zhang Shanzi.
He immediately married
Zeng Zhengrong, the niece of his mother, Mrs. Zeng.
Zeng Zhengrong is a woman who came from traditional education.
She has a gentle and kind temperament.
Everything in the family, big and small, is kept in order.
But sadly,
Zeng Zhengrong and Zhang Daqian had no common language.
In addition to the lack of emotional foundation,
Zhang Daqian was not "cold" to her.
It was not until many years later that
the two finally had a daughter.
Regarding this, Zeng Zhengrong recalled himself in his later years,
"He was an emotionally abandoned person."
But despite this,
Zeng Zhengrong still abided by his duty as a housekeeper throughout his life, and was generous and decent in dealing with people,
until his death from illness.
In 1921, Zhang Daqian, who was not long married, went to Shanghai to study calligraphy and painting under the famous scholar Li Ruiqing,
and lived in the home of Ningbo wealthy Li Wei,
and met Miss Li Jiasan's Li Qiujun.
Li Qiujun is charming and charming,
and Zhang Daqian appreciate and admire each other,
and the Li family also intends to betroth their daughter to Zhang Daqian,
but Zhang Daqian thinks that he already has a wife,
and "the Li family is from a famous family.
There is no reason to treat a rich girl as a concubine. "
I had to give up.
Because "I was born at the wrong time and never got married,"
Li Qiujun could only sigh,
He never married.
And because of this,
the relationship between him and Li Qiujun,
is even deeper than that of a couple,
but as Zhang Daqian said,
between him and Li Qiujun,
"there is absolutely nothing that goes beyond one's duty." ,
He never even said a disgraceful joke. "
On the eve of the Anti-Japanese War,
Zhang Daqian adopted his two daughters, Xinrui and Xinpei, to Li Qiujun as adopted daughters.
Li Qiujun regarded them as his own flesh and blood.
loves education with all his heart.
In 1948, when Li Qiujun was celebrating his 50th birthday,
the two collaborated on a painting called "Mountains and Flowing Waters". They went to Jing'an Cemetery to select the longevity cave, and agreed to be buried in the adjacent cave after his death.
During the Cultural Revolution,
After the news of Li Qiujun's death in Shanghai reached Taiwan,
Zhang Daqian was extremely sad.
His heart was broken and he said:
"Brother, I will repay my heart to you, Qiu Jun. It hurts so much!"
Zhang Daqian also expressed his grief in his later years. The letter wrote:
"I have been loved by countless beauties in my life.
However, compared with the third sister,
the beauties of the Sixth Palace all eclipse."
The love between men and women is so transcendent,
It has an eternal flavor.
△ Huang Ningsu
In the spring of 1922, because Zeng Zhengrong had not given birth,
Zhang Daqian married his second wife, Huang Ningsu.
When they married, Huang Ningsu had just turned fifteen years old,
He was eight years younger than Zhang Daqian.
Huang Lingsu is also from Neijiang.
He is graceful and has a slim figure.
What is even more commendable is that although
is not good at housework,
he also likes calligraphy and painting.
According to the Zhang family tree, Huang Ningsu:
"He is good at serving the public will and is very popular with the public.
Although he is not good at managing his family,
he serves the public in calligraphy and painting,
and he is meticulous in his calligraphy."
In 1941, during the period of painting in Dunhuang ,
Zhang Daqian accompanied Huang Ningsu,
The conditions along the way were extremely difficult,
often slept in the open air,
and suffered from hunger and cold,
Huang Ningsu took good care of him along the way,
never left.
Because of her good looks, intelligence, and understanding,
Huang Ningsu was deeply loved by Zhang Daqian.
In the more than 20 years after their marriage,
Huang Ningsu gave birth to eight children for him.
Huang Ningsu is different from the other women.
In addition to being virtuous, she also has the "spicy" temperament of a Sichuan girl.
Because she is dissatisfied with Zhang Daqian's passion and is increasingly neglecting herself,
is obsessed with the mahjong table all day long.
has a deep affection for Zhang Daqian. The resentment also grew day by day,
until 1946, the relationship between the two completely broke down,
and then divorced.
△Chi Chunhong
In 1927, Zhang Daqian was invited by the Japanese antique dealer Eto Taio to visit Mount Kumgang in North Korea,
and met the fifteen-year-old Kabuki actor Chi Chunhong.
Chi Chunhong is good at singing and dancing, and loves calligraphy and painting very much.
During their several months in North Korea, the two were inseparable.
Although they didn't understand the language, they had a good understanding.
Zhang Daqian was immersed in the gentle countryside.
He often wrote love poems.
One of them wrote:
"The leisurely Shuhao wrist is like a soft man,
The hair leaves sprout and take a look.
Who can compare with the romantic predecessors?
Jinling is the only one Ma Xianglan. "
When he said goodbye, Zhang Daqian felt that it was difficult to let go, so he wrote two "Poems of Love" to Huang Ningsu, saying "If you want to ask Tiansun for news, the Milky Way can allow Xiaoxing to hide"
to test Mrs. Huang She agreed to take a concubine in a foreign country, but she was rejected by Mrs. Huang.
Zhang Daqian was helpless and couldn't bear it,
had to leave a sum of money,
let Chi Chunhong open a traditional Chinese medicine store in the capital,
no longer had to work as a karaoke,
hurriedly returned to China.
In the following years,
Zhang Daqian would go to North Korea every year to have a tryst with Chi Chunhong.
It was not until the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War that contact was interrupted.
After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War,
just as Zhang Daqian was preparing to go to North Korea to visit Chi Chunhong,
he received the news of Chi Chunhong's death.
It turns out that as early as 1939,
Chi Chunhong was killed for resisting the insolence of the Japanese army.
Zhang Daqian was deeply saddened by this,
immediately sent people to build Chi Chunhong's tomb and erect a monument.
Thirty years later, when Zhang Daqian was invited to hold an art exhibition in Seoul,
he even went to Chi Chunhong's grave to pay homage.
△Li Huaiyu
In 1934, Zhang Daqian went to Peking Tingying Pavilion as a guest with Zhang Shanzi.
During his stay, he met Peking artist Li Huaiyu.
Li Huaiyu had beautiful features and
Zhang Daqian was fascinated by his beautiful hands.
Therefore, he painted many portraits of Huaiyu in private.
He even inscribed one of them as:
"The jade hand is lightly painted with powder, and the mouth is not stained with red fat.
There is a high standard in the cold years." "
A tree with plum blossoms in the snow."
As they get along more and more,
the two of them find themselves in love, and
they are even more intimate on weekdays.
Zhang Daqian intends to take Li Huaiyu as his concubine,
but because Li Huaiyu is an artist,
was rejected by his family, and
they had to separate.
Even at the age of 100,
Zhang Daqian still misses this girl Huaiyu.
In "The Lady in the Willow Shade",
the character's face shape, hair bun, and clothing all reveal the shadow of Li Huaiyu.
△Yang Wanjun
In the autumn after breaking up with Li Huaiyu,
Zhang Daqian fell in love with Tianqiao Jingyun drum artist Yang Wanjun again.
Yang Wanjun also has a pair of beautiful jade hands.
What's more special is that
she looks like the beauties in Tang Bohu's paintings.
Zhang Daqian invited her to be the model for his portrait of a lady.
At this time, Yang Wanjun was only nineteen years old,
and Zhang Daqian, who was thirty-six years old,
had all the advantages of a successful man.
He was rich, talented, and famous,
and more importantly,
he was easy-going, The conversation is humorous, so
once again captured the beauty's heart.
When Zhang Daqian made a request to his family,
his parents thought that it would be a matter of time before he took another concubine,
they agreed,
and Yang Wanjun,
became Zhang Daqian's third wife.
Around 1941, Zhang Daqian went to Dunhuang twice to copy murals.
The first time he was accompanied by Yang Wanjun, and the second time it was his second wife Huang Ningsu.
During the difficult days in Dunhuang,
Yang Wanjun always stayed with Zhang Daqian,
taking care of Zhang Daqian meticulously.
From then on, Yang Wanjun became Zhang Daqian,
his most beloved "spiritual sustenance".
After returning to Sichuan from Dunhuang,
the two of them were inseparable and inseparable on weekdays.
△Xu Wenbo
Because she was dissatisfied with her married life,
Zhang Daqian and Huang Ningsu broke up, and
they finally divorced in 1946.
At this time,
another woman entered Zhang Daqian's life.
Her name is Xu Wenbo,
she is Zhang Daqian's servant,
she is also a classmate of Zhang Daqian's daughter Zhang Xinrui,
although she is not that outstanding in appearance,
and has little cultural knowledge,
she is smart, considerate and delicate,
is even more attracted by Zhang Daqian's paintings. I am deeply impressed,
can be regarded as a "close friend".
Due to the large age gap,
coupled with the disparity in status,
the family never paid attention to their actions.
Although Zhang Shanzi's wife reminded her many times,
Yang Wanjun just didn't believe it.
She felt that Xu Wenbo was just a servant.
Moreover, since she was neither pretty nor knowledgeable, nothing could happen to her.
But it wasn't until the pregnancy was darkened and
the child was born that
all the truth came to light.
When his family found out, they thought it was ridiculous.
They strongly opposed him marrying Xu Wenbo back home.
In desperation,
Zhang Daqian had no choice but to take Xu Wenbo to Shanghai.
In 1947, under Li Qiujun's arrangement,
48-year-old Zhang Daqian married 18-year-old Xu Wenbo,
Xu Wenbo became Zhang Daqian's fourth wife.
What is gratifying is that,
In the next half of Zhang Daqian's life,
no matter how turbulent the current situation was,
how bumpy the long road,
Xu Wenbo always stayed with Zhang Daqian,
accompanied Zhang Daqian,
from the mainland to Taiwan,
from Hong Kong to India,
Then he went to the "Bade Garden" in Brazil
and then to the "Huan Pi Temple" in the United States.
finally settled in the "Maya Jingshe" in Shuangxi, Taiwan.
He is reasonable and well-managed.
He has always been Zhang Daqian's virtuous wife.
Xu Wenbo is indispensable for Zhang Daqian's achievements in the second half of his life.
△Kimiko Yamada
In worldly affairs, the only word "love" is difficult to describe clearly.
As an artist, Zhang Daqian's eyes are always chasing beauty,
and the beauty of people is more likely to move his heart.
After 1949,
Zhang Daqian moved to Brazil.
He often went to Japan to buy painting supplies.
He stayed at Yokohama Mingen Kairakuen.
He had a close personal relationship with Zhang Daqian, the owner of a painting shop, so
introduced him to a Japanese woman.
takes care of Zhang Daqian’s daily life.
Her name is Yamada Kimiko.
is not only young and beautiful,
can also speak some Chinese and write some Chinese characters.
is also quite accomplished in painting.
Therefore, she won the favor of Zhang Daqian.
Regarding this, Zhang Daqian once wrote in his poem:
"Bringing famous flowers to the thatched cottage in person,
I have white hair and red makeup,
I know that you intend to follow your smile,
I laugh at my crazy slave, and he gets even crazier as he gets older."
Since then,
Kaiyuan Garden has become the gentle hometown of Zhang Daqian, who has "white hair and red makeup."
From then on, every time he came to Japan,
Yamada Kimiko would always be by his side,
even if his wife Xu Wenbo was present, she was no exception.
Taiwanese writer Huang Tiancai once recalled this matter:
"Mrs. Zhang always has one or two days a week to 'drive' Mr. Daqian out of her bedroom,
forcing Daqian to accompany Yamada at night."
Zhang Daqian also has poems Describing that time:
"I caressed my soft muscles without hesitation,
Occasionally my hair brushed my snow moustache,
Occasionally half of the smallpox spread,
I didn't think that Vimalakia was dying of illness."
But as time went by,
Zhang Daqian gradually discovered,
Yamada Kimiko seemed to have impure motives, so
ended the relationship decisively, and
completely realized her detachment from then on.
It is precisely because of this relationship that
Zhang Daqian once presented Ms. Yamada with many paintings and calligraphy works.
Only in an auction in Hong Kong in recent years,
collected 7 of Daqian's works.
Among them, "Peach Blossom Fish", "Cherry Tit", and "Shrimp Play Picture"
were the kimonos painted by Zhang Daqian himself and presented to Yamada.
This is also the only unique creation so far that Mr. Zhang Daqian
has adopted a special creative method.
After Zhang Daqian left the mainland,
his family lost their financial support,
life became increasingly difficult.
In 1961, Zeng Zhengrong died of illness,
his third wife Yang Wanjun left home to support herself,
she also died of illness soon after.
What is valuable is that when
Zhang Daqian left the mainland,
he left a batch of copied Dunhuang murals to his family.
Although they lived in poverty later,
they were never willing to sell these paintings.
In 1955, Mrs. Zeng Zhengrong and Yang Wanjun,
only after obtaining Zhang Daqian's consent,
donated 260 copies of Dunhuang murals to the Sichuan Museum.
Mr. Zhang Daqian's works were so precious that
they were included in the export restriction list.
On April 2, 1983,
Zhang Daqian suffered a recurrence of heart disease.
He died after ineffective treatment.
He was 84 years old.
Zhang Daqian was erudite and talented throughout his life,
his poems were sincere and bold,
his calligraphy was powerful and elegant,
his paintings were clear and elegant in artistic conception,
he was talented and knowledgeable,
"embracing the strengths of all styles, and the magnificence of both northern and southern sects".
Compared with his artistic attainments,
Zhang Daqian's love affair can also be described as legendary.
He is "passionate" and
uses the image of a woman on the canvas to express his love and passion.
But for Zhang Daqian's romantic past,
later generations have mixed reviews.
Some people say that "talented men have been romantic since ancient times",
Some people say that he "steps on women's corpses."
Some people also say, "When artists are creating,
they always have the habit of condensing their understanding of all things in life into the image.
"
But despite Zhang Daxian's life of debauchery and passion,
the ten women in his life,
no matter whether they were destined or not,
or eventually fell apart,
always loved Zhang Daqian deeply,
never complained about him,
was even more willing to do so. Spend your whole life for him.
And it was precisely because of the company of this extraordinary woman that
Zhang Daqian was able to indulge in poetry and painting,
leaving one treasure after another for future generations.
Zhang Daqian called himself "Jianghaike",
spent his life like a wandering cloud and wild crane,
passed away like this, without realizing it,
the master has been dead for thirty-five years,
if he mentions such romantic affairs now,
will still be his. Shocked by the uninhibited pleasure.
Perhaps, for Zhang Daqian,
the judgment of right and wrong is more narrow-minded.
As for the love in the world,
which one thing can be explained clearly?
