Zhang Zhiwan (1811-1897), courtesy name Ziqing (字子青), was a minister of the late Qing Dynasty whose hometown was directly subordinate to Nanpi, in present-day Shuangmiao Village, Liu Bali Township, Nanpi County, Cangzhou City, Hebei Province, and was the cousin of the famous minister Zhang Zhidong. In the twenty-seventh year of Daoguang (1847), he was the first to enter the rank (Yuan). In the second year of Guangxu (1876), he served as the inspector of Henan, moved to caoyun, and successively served as the inspector of Jiangsu and the governor of Fujian and Zhejiang. In the eighth year of Guangxu (1882), he was appointed as the Shangshu of the Bingbu Department, and later transferred to the Punishment Department. In the tenth year of Guangxu (1884), he went to the Military Aircraft Department and concurrently served as the official Shangshu. He was promoted to a fellow of the Co-organizing University of Tu, a fellow of Tirenkaku University, and a fellow of Togaku University.
Zhang Zhiwan was the patriarch of the Four Dynasties of Daoguang, Xianfeng, Tongzhi and Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty, and the highest-lived figure in Chinese history. Zhang Zhiwan not only made great achievements in politics, but also was a calligrapher and painter. The Dictionary of Chinese Art introduces him: "Good at painting landscapes, devoted to Wang Yi, with a pen mianmiao, bones are beautiful and clear." In his later years, the pen was simple and light, and it was quite sober. Discussing painting with Dai Xi, it is the most compatible, and it is called 'Southern Dai Bei Zhang'. "The Huimin Museum has collected 3 landscape paintings by Zhang Zhiwan and a light-colored landscape patterned bottle. Now it is a brief introduction to share with netizens.

This piece of Qun-style bottle, glaze is white, slightly glittering gray. Painted with a light color landscape pattern, depicting a spring landscape landscape, the distant mountains are continuous, the trees on the riverbank are verdant, the pavilions are half hidden and half-present, and a leaf boat in the river is drumming sails forward. Using the light decoration technique, a change in the colorful, pastel gorgeous, light and soft color, delicate brushwork, exquisite and elegant. Attached are falling paragraphs and poems. The falling paragraph reads: "Zhongchun Fengzi Qingzhongtang Fuzi Junjian received situ Lan Zhencheng". The word "subject" is printed. The back is painted with "bee monkey" (fenghou), deer, pine and magpie, which means auspicious. On one side of the book "Night does not fit the household, locusts do not cross the bank Li Min Xian'an", on the other side of the seal book, do not know, there are netizens who know the seal book can leave a message to teach. Light daicai is a new glaze color variety in the Jingdezhen porcelain industry at the end of the Qing Dynasty, which was popular in the period of about 50 years from Tongzhi and Guangxu to the Republic of China. During this period, the year of The Monkey of Guangxu was only the Year of the Monkey, that is, in 1896 AD, the twenty-second year of Guangxu. "Mid-spring" is the second month of the lunar calendar. "Ziqing Zhongtang", I personally think refers to Zhang Zhiwan. "Ziqing" was Zhang Zhiwan's character, and "Zhongtang" was a customary name at that time, not a specific official position. Generally, only those who are cabinet scholars and concurrently hold official positions in the six ministries are eligible to be called "Middle Hall". Zhang Zhiwan was not only a member of the Cabinet University, but also served as a soldier and an official Shangshu, and was fully qualified to be called "Zhongtang". From these two points, the "Ziqing Zhongtang" on this light color landscape pattern Quinn bottle is likely to refer to Zhang Zhiwan.
Many of the cultural relics in the Huimin Museum were left behind by the Cultural Relics Management Committee of the old Bohai Region before liberation. At that time, the Bohai region included parts of the border between present-day Hebei province and Shandong province. Many cultural relics were collected in the Hebei region. In the jade seal engraving seal in the museum's collection, there are seal inscriptions such as "so-and-so in the river". Zhang Zhiwan's three landscape paintings and this light-colored landscape pattern bottle may also have been collected from Hebei Province.
