Description: Overall size: Approximately 184cm tall × 41cm wide Paper size: Approximately 139cm tall × 34cm wide Zhang Xueliang (1901-2001) was an important military figure and politician in modern Chinese history, known by the nickname "Young Marshal" (Shaoshuai). He was born as the eldest son of Zhang Zuolin, the leader of the Fengtian clique, and after his father's death, he inherited his power and ruled Manchuria (the three northeastern provinces). In 1928, after Zhang Zuolin was assassinated in the "Huanggutun Incident" by the Japanese Kwantung Army, Zhang Xueliang succeeded him. In his relationship with Japan, he initially adopted a cautious cooperative stance, but he tried to maintain his own position to protect his control over Manchuria. In the same year, he implemented the "Northeast Flag Changing" (Dongbei Yiqizhi), expressing his submission to the Nanjing National Government, thereby achieving nominal unification of China. However, when the "Manchurian Incident" (Manzhou Shien) broke out in 1931, he was unable to mount a sufficient counterattack against the invasion of the Japanese army, and was forced to lose the Northeast. Later, in 1936, he initiated the "Xi'an Incident" (Xi'an Shijian), demanding that Chiang Kai-shek stop the civil war and form an anti-Japanese united front, creating a major opportunity for China to move towards resistance against Japan. Zhang Xueliang was placed under house arrest for a long time after the war, but as a person who continued to wish for "national unity and national independence" throughout his life, he is still an indispensable figure in discussing modern Chinese and Japanese history. This item is believed to be a work of calligraphy by Zhang Xueliang and is a masterpiece with historical and artistic charm. As a valuable material that conveys the culture and spirit of modern China, we recommend it for research, appreciation, and collection. *The final judgment of authenticity is left to the buyer. The calm brushwork and dignified composition are attractive, and it is a work that adds a touch of class to the space.
