When I was in Shaoxing, I was hesitant to go to the Huamai Calligraphy and Painting Museum, because the time was too hurried, but fortunately I finally went, and it was another "why didn't I come earlier" place, a very good museum, refreshing my understanding of domestic private museums. The collection may not be comparable to the Long Museum, but in terms of the professionalism of the calligraphy and painting exhibition, it is the best in the private collection I have ever seen, and they actually use the same sensor lights as the Shanghai Museum.
The Huamai Calligraphy and Painting Museum was established by Mr. Xiang Zhifeng, and I didn't know anything about him before, so I can see that the collection circle is really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon. This museum, whether it is the exterior design or the aforementioned exhibition, makes me feel very comfortable, but it may be because "hidden" in the small city of Shaoxing, "the wine alley is deep", when I went, the whole museum only had one audience, and there was only one staff member in sight, and there was often a private field, "Baoguan" Have you heard of it? I really want to appeal to everyone who goes to Shaoxing to go to this museum, it is too deserted, not to mention that they are free!
Southern Song Dynasty, Zhang Zhong, "Purple Bird Fruit Diagram"
First of all, I would like to say that the "Exhibition of Fine Paintings of Flowers and Birds in Chinese Dynasties" is an exhibition that began last year. This piece is the old collection of the Qing Palace, the "Shiqu Baodi Continuation" bibliography, belongs to the "Smoke Cloud Collection Picture Book" in one page, with the Qianlong Li book inscription and the line book title. The modern collector Chen Rentao is classified as Wu Bing, and I don't know what the basis is. Zhang Zhong was a court painter of the Southern Song Dynasty, on a par with Lin Chun, whose painting is as authentic as it is, or its surviving orphan. The painting is a typical Song Dynasty courtyard folded branch flower bird, the bird is a wax-billed finch, and the fruit is hawthorn, which is delicately outlined and is a masterpiece of life.
Yuan, Qian xuan "Spring Water Swimming Fish Map"
It is also the old collection of the Qing Palace, with Qianlong inscriptions and counter-titles. It was also designated by Chen Rentao as Liu Yu of the Northern Song Dynasty. According to the penmanship, it really has nothing to do with qian xuan, but whether it can go to Song, I am afraid it may not be. Although these two pieces are Chen Rentao's old collections, they were bought at different auctions, and Mr. Xiang is also a person with a heart.
Yuan, Chen Zhongren, "Flower and Bird Diagram" (partial)
Because the glass reflects light, you can only look at a local map. It's a good stroke.
Yuan, Chen You, "Vegetable Figure Erzhen"
According to the style of painting, it is quite like the tone of Qian Xuan, but the two Wen Zhengming inscriptions feel that the pen strength is not enough.
Ming, Lü Ji,"Flower and Bird Diagram"
Ming, Lin Liang,"Double Eagle Diagram"
It feels good.
Ming, Xiang Shengmu "Flower Scroll"

At the end of the Ming Dynasty and the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, Xiao Yun from the "Plum Bamboo Picture Scroll"
Ming, Chen Hongshou,"Painful Drink reading of riot maps"
This is the exhibition of works by Shaoxing calligraphers and painters in the "Zhong Lingyuexiu" exhibition hall. This picture and the Shanghai Museum's "Painful Drink reading riot map" is "twins", but the picture is not the same, the Bo is a man in red sitting alone drinking and reading, Hua Mai this piece is two men sitting opposite, surrounded by Kong Shangren, Weng Fanggang's inscription is similar, especially Weng Fanggang's inscription "Painful drinking and reading riot" Four words, almost exactly the same, so the two must have a false or both false, according to the content of the picture, or shangbo is more in line with the "pain to drink and read the riot" some.
Ming, Qi Xuanjia,"Deep Mountain Visit to Friends"
Shafts over 2 meters high, not shot well.
Qing, Mao Wanling," "Looking at bamboo picture scrolls"
Mao Wanling is a Xiaoshan native, and most of the people in the back are Cantonese, and the works may have been passed down to Guangdong later, and now they are back in their hometown.

There are also some less well-known do not look, there is another exhibition hall is dedicated to the exhibition of Qing Dynasty emperors and calligraphy, do not look at, the following is the last mention of the "Qingteng Immortal - Commemoration of the 500th Anniversary of Xu Wei's Birth Special Exhibition", in addition to the collection of Hua Mai, but also borrowed other collectors' things.
Ming, Lin Liang, "Luting Double Goose Diagram"
This Lin Liang looks good.
Ming, Shen Zhou, "Four Sections of Landscape and Flowers"
Only after looking at Shen Zhou's nine duan jin, there were four duan jin, and they were all as smooth as new, which was really a feast for the eyes. This volume is Gu Wenbin's old collection, according to its inscription, originally there were eight paragraphs, and only four paragraphs were left when it was returned to him.
Ming, Chen Chun, "Rose Diagram"
Zhang Boju, Zhang Heng, Xu Bangda and others were once handed over to Tibet. The Xu Wei exhibition at the Xu Wei Art Museum did not have Chen Chun, but it was strange.
Ming, Xie Shichen, "Nantian Ji Mist Map"
Ming, Zhu Yunming's Cursive Hand Scroll (Partial)
Ming, Xu Wei, "Tong Yin Ming Poetry"
The characters are strangely drawn.
Ming, Xu Wei, "Bamboo Stone Peony Diagram"

This piece of stone tao is very good, with Japanese long-tailed armor.

Zhang Daqian's old collection, will it be his masterpiece?
Qing, Zhu Yun,"Song Deer Diagram"
The more typical Eight Great Mountain People deer turn back, and there are also Zhang Daqian bian treks.
Qing, Zheng Xie, "Ink Bamboo Diagram"
Let's end with this "cow and horse walk under the green vine gate", the exhibition was originally until August 30, but it seems that the official website ended early.
Once again express your love for the Huamai Calligraphy and Painting Museum, next time you must reserve at least half a day to enjoy the pleasure brought by calligraphy and painting and the beautiful environment, and sincerely recommend this place that is better than many public museums.
