Qinqi calligraphy and painting are the basic skills of traditional Chinese literati to cultivate themselves and live in the world, among which the guqin is listed as the first of all arts, known as "the sound of the saint ruling the world, the gentleman's cultivation of things".

Zhang Boju (1898-1982), formerly known as Zhang Jiaqi,Zi Boju,later zi xing,trumpet Cong Bi,chunyou master, etc., a native of Xiangcheng, Henan, founded the Beiping Guqin Research Society and the Calligraphy Research Society. He was a collector, calligrapher, poet and researcher of theatrical art.
In his early years, he attended a new school, entered a military school at the age of 18, and was tired of walking in the military academy at the age of 18, and his assistant father managed the salt bank and stepped into the road of art, since the thirty years of yun, he became addicted to calligraphy and painting, and saw that although the famous giant system was thrifty, he used debt to collect money. In his later years, he donated all the national treasures such as "Ping Fu Ti" and "You Chun Tu" that he had treasured in his life to the state, and Qi Gong commented that "there is no ancient person before, no one after him, the first person in the world's folk collection".
Mr. Zhang Boju came to the Jilin Provincial Museum in the autumn of 1961 as an associate researcher, and the following year he became the deputy director and presided over the work, during which he extensively collected cultural relics from the collection, laid the foundation for the museum's collection, and also donated more than 30 precious cultural relics such as Song Yang Jieyu's "Hundred Flowers Map", Song Tuo's "Jiucheng Palace Liquan Ming", Song Tuo's "Sacred Order" and other precious cultural relics to the Jilin Provincial Museum.
Wang Shixiang (1914-2009), chang'an, ancestral home of Fujian, born in Beijing, attended the Overseas Chinese School in the United States in his early years, and was doted on by his mother when he was a teenager because of his brother's early death at the age of ten, as long as he never interfered more with the activities beneficial to the body, he set up eagles to chase rabbits, dogs to chase badgers, autumn fighting crickets, and winter songbirds. In his later years, he laughed at himself: "I have been a child and strong, from elementary school to college, I have always been a plaything, and my karma is absurd. ”
During his tenure as an assistant representative of the Pingjin District Committee for the Clearance of Wartime Cultural Relics Losses, he cleaned up and recovered six batches of cultural relics looted during the war, with a total of 2,000 to 3,000 pieces. In March 1947, he began to work at the Palace Museum, and purchased the "Matsukaze Kiyojie" violin during his museum visits to the United States and Canada.
Wang Shixiang has a wide range of research in his life, involving calligraphy and painting, sculpture, cooking, architecture, etc. He has a unique study of the history of arts and crafts and furniture, especially Ming-style furniture, ancient lacquerware and bamboo carvings, etc. He has written and published more than 40 kinds of books, with the reputation of the "biggest player" in Beijing, and played the "century of learning".
Zhang Boju and Wang Shixiang are both from a famous and prestigious family, have received a good education in their childhood, are not proud of their lives, can be poor, are not afraid of danger, and are frank and sincere. They love life, and Mr. Zhang's "stir-fried mushrooms" and Mr. Wang's "braised scallions" were swept away by everyone on the table during the dinner; they placed the cultural relics they had spent their lives collecting in the state-owned museum for preservation, so that precious cultural relics could be better protected, and more people had the opportunity to see the national treasures. The friendship between the two coats, the meticulous reflection on the study of cultural relics and the style of painstaking efforts to inherit the culture show the lofty patriotic feelings and selfless dedication of the wenbo people, which will be admired by future generations...
