China has thousands of years of historical and cultural heritage, and in these countless years, countless precious cultural relics and works of art have been produced, and most of these works of art have been well preserved and have not been damaged in the war. But unfortunately, because of the modern Qing Dynasty

Invaded and humiliated by the great powers, many precious cultural relics and works of art have been snatched away by these robbers, and some of them have been exiled to the people in chaos.
So for a long time in the past, experts in the study of mainland cultural relics wanted to study an ancient cultural relic, and even needed to run to foreign museums, which had to be said to be a very humiliating thing. Fortunately, with the help of many patriots, some cultural relics that have been displaced have returned to the embrace of the motherland. He donated nearly 100 billion yuan to the country free of charge, and when he was seriously ill in his old age, he wanted to live in a senior ward, but the doctor said: Are you worthy?
In 2018, the Palace Museum in Beijing exhibited 32 pieces of its collection, many of which are extremely precious calligraphy and paintings, most of which were donated by a man named Zhang Boju. Many people should feel very strange when they hear the name Zhang Boju, but when it comes to other uncles, you should know that he is yuan shikai, who is a famous person in modern history. Zhang Boju's father was also extraordinary, he was the Beiyang Minister at that time, and he was also the founder of the Salt Industry Bank, the first government-business bank in the mainland.
Therefore, Zhang Boju, who grew up in this kind of family, did not have to worry about his own life since he was a child, but under the influence of the elders at home, he had a great interest in cultural relics and paintings. Although Zhang Boju's father was worried that he would lose his mind because of this plaything, he arranged for him to work in the bank, of course, what was unexpected was that Zhang Boju relied on this position in the bank to contact many cultural relics collectors.
But at that time, Zhang Boju did not have so much money at all, so he had to entrust people to go around, and finally under the persuasion of Fu Zengxiang, the education chief of the Beiyang government at that time, Zhang Boju bought this authentic "Pingfu Paste" from PuRu for 40,000 oceans. Later, a businessman even wanted to buy this post from Zhang Boju for 300,000 oceans, but Zhang Boju believed that this businessman was just coveting his value and did not really love cultural relics at all, so he rejected him.
In the course of his life, Zhang Boju exhausted his family wealth and collected more than 100 precious cultural relics, which he regarded as more important than his own life, and even sewed some important calligraphy posts into his clothes and carried them with him. But what is surprising is that such a person who regards cultural relics as life donated all his collection to the Palace Museum in 1956, with a total value of nearly 100 billion yuan, when the government also wanted to reward him with 20,000 yuan, but he also politely refused, and the government had no choice but to issue a commendation order to commend Zhang Boju's selfless dedication.
Zhang Boju scattered his family wealth in order to collect calligraphy and paintings in his early years, so his later life was extremely miserable, and he even had to rely on selling his wife's jewelry to survive. He donated nearly 100 billion yuan to the country free of charge, and when he was seriously ill in his later years, he wanted to live in a senior ward, doctor: Do you deserve it? During the Republic of China period, the rich man of a large family actually fell into such a desolate situation in order to collect cultural relics, and he had to sigh, and at the same time admired his spirit of obsessing with cultural relics.
