During the war, a large number of cultural relics flowed overseas, which made many painters or painting lovers uncomfortable, so they visited various places to find them and spent a lot of money to recover them. Zhang Boju, for example, is obsessed with art, and he is willing to lose everything for a calligraphy and painting that is more important than life.

Once, Zhang Boju was robbed by robbers, and his family was poor, with only some precious calligraphy and painting. As long as they are changed into money, he can save his life. As a result, he didn't let his wife pay attention to typing and drawing until he died, and he was just released after being locked up for half a year. I was in a trance when I came out, but I still attached great importance to calligraphy and painting. And in the early days of the founding of the people's Republic of China, it was given to the state free of charge.

He said that he protected these cultural relics because he didn't want them to live abroad, not for himself. Zhang Boju's behavior is admirable. However, some people do the opposite, donating 183 precious cultural relics to the United States for free, but buying them at a high price in China.

He is the fifth grandson of Emperor Weng Tonghe, Tongzhi of the Qing Dynasty and Emperor Guangxu. He has a prominent position and holds many important positions. He is a pivotal figure in the DPRK. He is an honest official, and his only hobby is collecting art. He spent half his life and made some achievements.

Weng Tonghe had no children, so after many twists and turns, calligraphy and painting fell into the hands of Weng Wangkai. At that time, he was only two years old, and at the age of knowing nothing, he inherited such a huge fortune. He is really a chosen person. Weng Wanghua may have studied photography, fine arts, movies and other works of art for this purpose.

1948, the war was raging. In order to escape, he packed all the cultural relics and brought them to the United States, because he protected them well and the cultural relics were not damaged at all. He has many precious cultural relics in his hand, such as the Map of the Yangtze River drawn by Wu Guanzhong, which is 16 meters long and records the great rivers and mountains of the motherland. Since its birth, it has attracted much attention and has high research value.

Weng Wanghua donated such an important work to the Boston Museum of Art for free. Besides these, he also donated many important cultural relics. In 20 18, it donated 183 pieces of cultural relics to Boston Museum, including 130 pieces of scrolls, 3 18 pieces of calligraphy, 4 pieces of rubbings 18 pieces of embroidery, spanning 13 centuries and going through five dynasties.

This is his personal belongings, and we have no right to ask, but his attitude towards the motherland is completely different. In 2000, Weng transferred 80 rare ancient books of Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties collected by his family to Shanghai Library at a high price of 4.5 million yuan. When this incident came out, it caused an uproar, and everyone accused him of "worshipping foreign things and flattering foreign countries."

Weng Wange also knows how people will judge his behavior. He chose not to listen or watch, and it makes sense that he donated all this to the Boston Museum. He thinks that Boston is the center of western culture, and many people will come here to let more people know about China culture. Some people are too narrow-minded and only see immediate interests.

It is a good thing to promote China culture, but some netizens said that China's cultural relics are naturally placed in China, which has the most research value. If you put it abroad, even if more people see it, you can't know the story behind it. What's the point? Everyone has different ideas. How to treat this problem?
