On this day 42 years ago, on April 2, 1983 (February 19, 1983 lunar calendar), Chinese painting master Zhang Daqian passed away in Taipei. Zhang Daqian took a photo with his wife Xu Wenbo and wrote a handwritten inscription to Fu Wenyan. On the morning of April 2, 1983, Mr. Zhang Daqian passed away suddenly in Taipei. The following is an article written by Wu Zuoren "In Memory of Mr. Zhang Daqian": Mr. Daqian's original name was Zhang Zhengquan, and the character Daqian was born in Neijiang, Sichuan in 1899. He was influenced by his loving mother and brother when he was young, and devoted himself to calligraphy, painting and poetry. He grew up in Japan, where he traveled eastward to study painting and printing and dyeing techniques. After returning to China, he took Zeng Xi and Mr. Li Ruiqing as his teachers and advanced his painting skills. He became famous at home at an early age. Mr. Daqian is especially known for Shi Tao, Ba Da, and various families in Zhejiang. He is known for his deep research, messy writing, and salty knowledge. He also draws on famous sites such as Shen Zhou, Chen Laolian, and Tang Yin. He has done everything in landscapes, flowers, birds, and characters. He has a wide range of writing paths, and everyone who sees him is convinced. In addition, he has traveled extensively in the mountains and rivers to capture elites; he has twice involved in the Dunhuang treasure house and traced the origin; he has a rich collection and has accumulated deep experience, so he has melted traditional life into a furnace; he has studied the ancient times without mud, but he has turned it into me, and he has become an outstanding family. With his strong pen, bright colors, and elegant and changeable painting style, he has left his rich imprint in contemporary Chinese painting gardens. In 1949, Mr. Daqian went overseas to China, and his trace was thousands of miles away, wandering without certainty. He first moved to India, then moved to Hong Kong, and then moved to South America. He built the "Ba De Garden" in Brazil, where he lived for more than a decade. He then moved to Montreal, USA, to build the "Ring Bi'an". In the late 1970s, he lived in the "Maya Elementary House" in Shuangxi, Taipei City, Taiwan Province. For more than 30 years, Mr. Daqian has traveled to Asia, Europe and the United States, held art exhibitions, and made international noise. He is known as "the most famous master of Chinese painting today"; he has also made outstanding contributions to the introduction and promotion of traditional culture and art in our country. As early as the early 1930s, when Mr. Daqian's works were first exhibited in Europe, Mr. Xu Beihong praised his paintings as "fascinating to Europeans" and "adding color to people's faces". With his profound insights and admirable achievements, Mr. Daqian won the respect of the art and critical circles of various countries, and enhanced the world influence of Chinese painting art. His achievements are worthy of our commemoration, and his reputation is well-deserved. Mr. Daqian has been away from his hometown for many years, and his homesickness has deepened for a long time. He once sighed: "Looking at the mountains is still the youth of his hometown". In recent years, someone brought him a pack of soil from Chengdu. He held the soil with mixed feelings, and he was in tears... Those who heard it were also stunned. He has created countless works overseas that praise the mountains and rivers of the motherland, such as "Wanli Map of the Yangtze River" in 1968. From Guanxian County to Chongming, Wanli Jiangshan is collected in one volume. The rhythm is ups and downs, and the passion is full of paper. It is a rare masterpiece. In the poetic seals, you can also see phrases such as "Dream Qingcheng House in my life", "Home in the southwest often says farewell to the southeast", "Love in a dream of dust wax and moss marks", etc., full of sadness and parting. He is nostalgic for his relatives and flesh, so he made disciples, and words, calligraphy and paintings are passed on from time to time; Yilin has also been praying for him to return to recovery as soon as possible, but he did not expect it to become an eternal formula. Mr. Daqian is a friend of Mr. Beihong, the teacher of the first teacher. In the 1930s, I often got to see Mr. Daqian at Mr. Xu's place. In the early 1940s, Mr. returned from Dunhuang and exhibited in Rongcheng. The artistic style of Mr. Xu's works and his voice and smile have been here for more than 40 years, which is still unforgettable. I hate the day and the new year. Mr. Daqian failed to return with his profound attainments to become the model of my art garden. I wish to turn it into empty hope, sad husband!

Zhang Daqian is the most legendary Chinese painting master in the 20th century, whether it is painting, calligraphy, seal carving, poetry. In the early days, he concentrated on the study of ancient calligraphy and painting, especially in landscape painting. Zhang Daqian is a talented painter. His creations reach "the length of the body, and the richness of the two schools in the north and south". He integrates literati paintings, writer paintings, court paintings and folk art. In Chinese paintings of figures, landscapes, flowers and birds, fish and insects, beasts, meticulous brushwork, omnipotent, and all of them are exquisite. Poetry and prose are honest and bold, calligraphy is elegant and elegant, soft on the outside and strong on the inside, and unique in style. Zhang Daqian's painting style, in the early and middle age, mainly in the early and middle age, mainly in the ancient and antique, spent most of his life and effort, from the Qing Dynasty to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, studying their works one by one, from copying to imitation, and then to counterfeiting. Zhang Daqian's painting style has changed several times. In his later years, he went through exploration. At the age of 57, he created his own splashing painting method. On the basis of inheriting the splashing ink painting method of Wang Qia in the Tang Dynasty, he rubbed into the color and light relationship of Western European painting and developed a kind of landscape painting brush and ink technique. The valuable thing is that the change of technique can always maintain the traditional characteristics of Chinese painting, creating a semi-abstract artistic conception of ink and color. Zhang Daqian's painting style before the age of 30 can be described as "fresh and handsome". At the age of 50, he entered "magnificent and magnificent". After the age of 60, he reached the realm of "Cang Abyss Mu". After the age of 80, his temperament was purified, and the pen was simple and the ink was light. His original splashing ink landscape was beautiful and magnificent, and it was integrated with heaven and earth. Enhance the appeal of artistic conception and the overall effect of frame size. Zhang Daqian's artistic career and painting style have gone through three stages of "learning from the ancient times", "learning from nature" and "learning from the heart": "taking the ancients as teachers" before the age of 40, between the ages of 40 and 60, taking nature as a teacher, and after the age of 60, taking the heart as a teacher. In his early years, he was surrounded by famous ancient masters, from Shi Tao and the Eighth National Congress to Xu Wei, Guo Chun, Song and Yuan Dynasties and even Dunhuang murals. After the age of 60, on the basis of traditional brush and ink, inspired by the abstract expressionism of Western modern painting, he created the original splashing color painting method. The effect of ink color makes his painting art unique in the profound classical art heritage. Since ancient times, whether a painter can carry on the past and inspire the future and become famous depends to a large extent on whether his traditional skills are profound. Zhang Daqian's traditional skills can be said to be unprecedented, and no one has come since. He has spent a lot of time and effort copying ancient masterpieces, especially his imitations of Shi Tao and the Eighth National Congress of the Communist Party of China, which are almost true, and thus took the first step of his painting. He started from Shi Tao in the Qing Dynasty, to the Eighth National Congress, Chen Hongshou, Xu Wei, etc., and then covered the Ming and Qing Dynasties, to the Song and Yuan Dynasties, and finally to the Sui and Tang Dynasties. He singled out the representative painters of the past dynasties one by one, from near to far, and devoted himself to research. However, he was not satisfied with these, and he studied grotto art and folk art, especially in Dunhuang for three years. He copied murals from all dynasties and achieved brilliant results. These murals went through the Northern Wei, Western Wei, Sui, Tang, and Five Dynasties in terms of time span. In history, many people copied paintings that could only be seen in their appearance, but failed to go deep into their territory; and Zhang Daqian's pseudo-ancient directly resembled the real. In order to test whether his pseudo-ancient works could reach the level of chaos, he asked Huang Binhong, Zhang Cunyu, Luo Zhenyu, Wu Hufan, Pu Ru, Chen Banding, Ye Gongchu, and other experts from famous museums around the world to identify them, and left a lot of interesting anecdotes. The artistic value of many of Zhang Daqian's forgeries and their status in the history of Chinese art are even higher than that of the true crystals of ancient famous masters. Many museums around the world now have his forgeries, such as the Friar Art Museum in Washington, which has his "Come to Wu Zhongshan Three Hidden", the Metropolitan Museum in New York has his "Stone Waves and Landscapes" and "Meiqing Landscapes", and the British Museum in London has his "Great Forest Stacked" and so on. The ancient masters and the good fortune of the teacher have always been the golden and jade words followed by painters. The ancient masters are naturally important, but learning from the law of good fortune is more important. The accomplished painters of all dynasties have pursued the practice of "good fortune from outside teachers, and the source from the heart". While learning from Shi Tao, Daqian also deeply grasped the essence of the ancients' thinking and was able to practice it. Zhang Daqian said: "The ancients said'read ten thousand volumes and travel ten thousand miles', what does this mean? Because of the wide range of knowledge, one must learn from actual observation, not only rely on books, but the two must complement each other. Famous mountains and great rivers are familiar with the chest, and there are hills and ravines in the chest. There is naturally a basis for writing, and you have to experience more to get something. Mountains and rivers are like this, other flowers, characters, and animals are all the same." He said: "See more famous mountains and huge rivers, and all things in the world, so as to understand physics, experience things, and understand the state of things." He has traveled all his life to famous mountains and great rivers at home and abroad, whether it is the vast Central Plains, the beautiful Jiangnan, or the desolate outside the Great Wall or the misty outside the customs, all of which have left his footprints. He wrote in a poem: "The old man has traveled half the world, traveling north to Mingbo Xixixia." Among the famous mountains and rivers that Daqian has traveled, he has always pushed the Yellow Mountain as the first, and he has visited it three times. Daqian's preference for Huangshan mainly comes from the influence of Shi Tao, who is both his teacher and his friend. Daqian said, "The scenery of Huangshan changes a lot. Other famous mountains have only four or five views, and Huangshan is hundreds of miles in radius before and after, and none of them are bad. But the danger of Huangshan is not within reach of it. If you miss it, you may be crushed into pieces." Daqian traveled all over the famous mountains and rivers of the motherland before the age of 50, and after the age of 50, he traveled all over Europe, America and other continents. This is a realm that previous generations of painters could not experience. Zhang Daqian has lived in Hong Kong, India, Argentina, Brazil, the United States and other places, and has traveled to places of interest in Europe, North America, South America, Japan, Korea, South East Asia and other places. Wherever he went, he wrote a large number of travel poems and sketches, accumulating an inexhaustible supply of creative materials, and creating good conditions for his future artistic innovation. Reading is very important to painters. Legend has it that someone asked Tang Bohu's teacher Zhou Chen why his paintings were not as good as those of his student Tang Bohu. Zhou Chen said: "Only thousands of volumes of books of Tang Sheng are missing." Like other successful painters, Daqian is also a hard-working and knowledgeable painter. He usually taught his younger generation: "If you want to get rid of vulgarity, wash away the floating air, and remove the craftsmanship in painting, the first is to read books, the second is to read more books, and the third is to read books systematically and selectively." Painting and reading are Daqian's daily life. This was the case in the past, and even more so after living in the Lion Garden on the Internet. He read books day and night, and couldn't interpret them. In the car and boat on the journey, Daqian also devoted himself to reading. Once, Daqian went from Chengdu to Chongqing, and a friend asked him to bring a dense book of "The Wilderness Book". When he got home, Daqian read the content of "The Wilderness Book" on the way, the author's opinions, life story, and the relationship between this Sichuan scholar in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties and Shi Tao. It was really surprising. Because this is an academic work outside of art. The habit of reading has been accompanied by Daqian until his later years. He often said that some painters sacrifice the basics and just pursue skills, and do not know that reading more is the fundamental way to change their temperament. Daqian's reading covers a wide range of fields, including history, children, and collections, and is not limited to books such as painting notation and painting theory.
