When it comes to modern Chinese calligraphers and painters, everyone will certainly not miss the name Zhang Daqian.
Zhang Daqian has made great achievements in the creation of landscape splash ink paintings, he is especially good at painting lotus flowers, and has a special love for lotus flowers.
He has never stopped painting lotus flowers in his life, and the lotus flowers in his pen are varied and elegant.
In art, he has not stopped studying and exploring, hoping to show people the most beautiful things in the world through his own brush.
Zhang Daqian has also not stopped pursuing in his love life, he has experienced many loves in his life, and the women who appear in his love are the same as the lotus flowers in his paintings, with their own styles.
What makes the world talk about it the most is that in his later years, he actually married his daughter's girlfriend back home, but what makes people sigh is that the son they gave birth to has become a tragedy in the world.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="7" > fiancée dies disheartened</h1>
Zhang Daqian was born on May 10, 1899 in Neijiang, Sichuan, where his family was a well-known scholar.
When he was very young, his sister taught him to read the Three Character Classic, and his brother taught him to read the Thousand Family Poems, which should be his enlightenment education.
His mother is very good at folk paper-cutting, and his brother Zhang Shanxiao is very good at Chinese painting, and growing up in such a family full of artistic atmosphere will have a great influence on his future artistic achievements.
Zhang Daqian has a green plum bamboo horse named Xie Shunhua, they have played together since childhood, grew up together, two small no guess.
From the beginning of obscurity, Zhang Daqian developed an indescribable affection for the beautiful and lovely Xie Shunhua.
As they grew older, they both fell deeply in love with each other.
The parents of both sides saw that they were in love and engaged them.
In 1917, the 18-year-old Zhang Daqian went to Japan to study, and he and his fiancée made an agreement that they would marry immediately after returning to China.
But unexpectedly, when he left, he and his fiancée became a farewell forever.
During Zhang Daqian's study abroad, his fiancée died of illness.
After Xie Shunhua's death, the family did not immediately tell Zhang Daqian, who was far away in the Orient, afraid that he could not bear this blow, and it would be even more troublesome to have some accidents in a foreign country.
When he returned home in 1919 after completing his studies, the news that his fiancée had long since died was like a blow to the head, and he felt that the world had suddenly lost its color and all thoughts were gray.
Zhang Daqian once again left home and came to Shanghai Songjiang Meditation Temple to become a monk, with the legal name of Daqian.
When his parents learned of the news that he had become a monk, where would they accept it, and their parents still expected him to continue the incense and pass it on to the generations.
Under the soft and hard treatment of his parents, three months later, Zhang Daqian helplessly returned home.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="23" > Zhang Daqian's love history</h1>
Not long after returning home, his parents re-arranged a family affair for him.
The girl his parents found for him this time was Zeng Zhengrong, whom he had never met.
Zeng Zhengrong, who was just 19 years old at the time, was much worse in appearance than Xie Shunhua.
Although Zeng Zhengrong's appearance is not related to beauty, after marriage, filial piety to her in-laws, diligent and capable, and the family up and down Li Lisoso.
But no matter what he did, Zhang Daqian just couldn't look at her, and even somewhat disgusted her, even the night he entered the cave room, Zhang Daqian didn't touch her.
Although Zeng Zhengrong also felt very wronged, some words could not be expressed, and she could only silently bear her husband's indifference to him in her heart.
Soon after becoming a relative, Zhang Daqian returned to Shanghai and left the home.
His wife Zeng Zhengrong is still a virtuous wife and filial daughter-in-law at home, but as the days go by, it has been a long time since they became relatives, Zeng Zhengrong's stomach has not moved, and Zhang Daqian's parents are also a little depressed.
At that time, under the influence of traditional feudal thinking, if the daughter-in-law could not give birth to a son and a half daughter for a long time after passing through the door, the family would often blame the woman for not being angry, and would not blame the man's head at all.
In order to complete the great cause of continuing the incense, the parents had the idea of giving Zhang Daqian a concubine.
At this time, Zhang Daqian became acquainted with Huang Ningsu, her family is well-off, and she is good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Huang Ningsu admired the talented Zhang Daqian, and with the increase of contact, she gradually fell in love with Zhang Daqian.
And Zhang Daqian also had a strong feeling for this beautiful girl who was born beautiful, and just when the family was ready to give him a concubine, he took the yellow gelatin back home.
Flaviculin
For a new woman like Huang Conglutin, she is very fond of Zhang Daqian.
So in order to pursue free love, she desperately married this man who was much older than herself, and she didn't care about being a concubine, she thought she had found her true love.
But what about Zhang Daqian? He married Huang Ningsu as a concubine, in large part to meet the requirements of his parents.
These are destined to lay the groundwork for the tragic ending after the yellow gelatin.
Because Huang Gelin has received education in new cultural ideas, he and Zhang Daqian have a certain common language.
When the two of them first got together, their feelings were also very good, and they were inseparable every day like glue.
Huang Nutinol grew up in a superior family environment, and her parents pampered her, so she knew nothing about housework and could not operate housework at all.
Zhang Daqian's parents were very dissatisfied with this daughter-in-law at this point, but what made them feel relieved was that after Huang Ningsu married, he gave birth to eight children in succession, and all of a sudden, Ding Ding prospered a lot, and continuing the incense was no longer a problem.
After Huang Agglutin gave birth to several children, no matter the figure and appearance and temperament are not as good as before, seven or eight children eat, drink and sleep, she has to worry, he is busy every day to exhaustion, romantic love is gradually replaced by chai rice oil and salt.
Zhang Daqian pursues freshness in art, and he is the same in love, and the artist's love is so unusual.
Yang Wanjun
One summer in 1935, when Zhang Daqian was holding a solo exhibition in Beijing, he met Yang Wanjun, a drum and book artist.
Yang Wanjun admired Zhang Daqian's talent, and Zhang Daqian admired Yang Wanjun's beauty, and the two fell in love at first sight.
With the more and more frequent exchanges, entering a sweet love, it did not take long to bring Yang Wanjun back home and become the third aunt and wife.
At home, Yang Wanjun replaced the position of the previous second aunt Taihuang Gelatin and accompanied Zhang Daqian all day long.
Huang Gelin was difficult to accept Zhang Daqian's snub, but there was no way, and finally in order to alleviate the depression in his heart, he often went out to dance and met a man in the dance hall.
For the so-called love, Huang Aglutin and Zhang Daqian divorced, the children were left to Zhang Daqian, he took a large breakup compensation, ready to enjoy the new love, but did not expect that the man was a liar, swept away all her money, Huang Agglutin spent the second half of her life in poverty and misery.

Xu Wenbo
The life of the third aunt Yang Wanjun and Zhang Daqian at the beginning of the period was also very happy and satisfying.
However, the good times did not last long, Zhang Daqian ushered in a new relationship, this girl is called Xu Wenbo, is Zhang Daqian's daughter's classmate and girlfriend.
Xu Wenbo is also a student of painting, she likes Zhang Daqian's works very much, when she knows that her good girlfriend is Zhang Daqian's daughter, soft and hard to let the girlfriend take herself to visit Zhang Daqian.
The first time Zhang Daqian met 18-year-old Xu Wenbo, he was attracted by the vigorous youthful atmosphere of this girl.
I don't know why, as soon as he saw Xu Wenbo, the inspiration in his brain would burst like a fountain, creating a lot of masterpieces, and Xu Wenbo was also excited for a long time when he saw the idol he had admired for a long time.
Xu Wenbo said that he wanted to learn to paint with Zhang Daqian, and Zhang Daqian happily agreed, and in this way, the two began frequent contact.
After coming and going, the two people's mutual admiration slowly developed to the point of being inseparable, and after their love affair became public, they were strongly opposed by Xu Wenbo's parents.
They could not accept their beloved daughter to find a man of their father's age as a partner, and the man had a complete family of wives and concubines.
But the daughter is determined to follow this man, and under the insistence of the daughter to find death and life, the parents have no choice but to agree to the daughter's choice.
In 1947, 48-year-old Zhang Daqian and 18-year-old Xu Wenbo finally entered the palace of marriage as they wished.
This pair of "yearless love" that is not favored by the world does not appear in people's imagination, but lives a very happy life, after this, Zhang Daqian has never seen other women in his life, Xu Wenbo is his last wife.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="65" > abandoned son committed suicide</h1>
Soon after getting married, Xu Wenbo gave birth to a son and a daughter for Zhang Daqian, and named his son Zhang Xinjian.
Zhang Daqian, a middle-aged son, naturally liked it very much, and enjoyed getting some fatherly love before Zhang Xinjian was one year old.
Later, forced by the situation of the authorities, Zhang Daqian was ready to continue his artistic creation abroad, but he only got three air tickets and could not leave with too many family members, zhang Daqian was ready to take Xu Wenbo and his son Zhang Xinjian away.
But before leaving, Xu Wenbo suddenly changed her mind, and she decided to take Huang's daughter with her, leaving her own children behind.
For Zhang Daqian, anyway, which child is his own child, it doesn't matter who takes him away, in this way, Zhang Xinjian, who is less than one year old, was ruthlessly abandoned by his parents.
Later, a good friend of Zhang Daqian adopted Zhang Xinjian, and the friend was very good to Zhang Xinjian because he had never had his own child.
However, later because of the business accident, the family went bankrupt, unable to continue to raise Zhang Xinjian, the friend went to find the Zhang family, sent the child back to the Zhang family, Zhang Daqian's original wife Zeng Zhengrong saw Zhang Xinjian, felt pity, and took the poor child in her arms.
Because Zeng Zhengrong has not given birth, he regards Zhang Xinjian as if he were a parent and is very good to him.
However, Zhang Xinjian experienced so many misfortunes at a young age, and his personality became depressed and somewhat pessimistic.
After growing up, he had a girlfriend, and it wasn't long before the two broke up, Zhang Xinjian couldn't withstand the blow of lost love, and committed suicide, when he was only 22 years old.
On the other side of the world, Zhang Xinjian's parents may still be immersed in a happy life, unaware of the tragic experience of their own son.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="77" > Conclusion:</h1>
Zhang Daqian is very accomplished in the art of Chinese painting, and he shows the beauty of all things in the world to people through his brush, so that people are full of hope and beauty for life.
However, his attitude towards the family and the education of his children did not have his painting beauty, in order to pursue the perfection of the work, let his son suffer from the cold and warmth of the world, and finally left this world with full of pain, I don't know how Zhang Daqian and Xu Wenbo will feel after knowing their son's situation. May such human tragedies in the world not be repeated.
