China News Service, Shenyang, February 2 (Reporter Han Hong) The restored display of some rooms in Zhang Xueliang's former residence was officially opened to the public on the 2nd. This is the first time since the opening of Zhang Xueliang's former residence in 1988 that the "mysterious veil" of the third floor of the Daqinglou has been unveiled.
Zhang Xueliang's former residence is the official residence and private residence of Zhang Xueliang when he was in power in Northeast China. It includes three groups of cultural relics buildings, such as the Sanjin Siheyuan, Daqinglou, Xiaoqinglou, and Zhao Yidi's former residence. It is a large-scale and well-preserved former residence of celebrities in the Northeast. Among them, the Daqinglou is located in the east courtyard of Zhang Xueliang's former residence. It is a Chinese Baroque building. After the completion of the Daqinglou in 1922, the focus of the Zhang family's residence and office moved here to the third courtyard from the central courtyard and the courtyard.
This restoration is based on retrospective interviews with relevant people who lived and worked in the old residence, as well as a comprehensive on-site investigation of Daqinglou, and reviewed the records of the September 18th Incident reported by Zhang Xueming, Zhang Xueliang's second brother, to the Shenyang Municipal Government in 1947. The Zhang family's "Property Damage Report" and relevant records in "Beiyang Pictorial" and "Ta Kung Pao" were studied, and books such as "Republic of China Furniture" were studied, focusing on the restoration of Zhang Xueliang's "Dingyuan Zhai" collection room on the third floor of Daqinglou and Zhang Xueliang and Yu The bedroom and living room of Fengzhi’s eldest daughter Zhang Lvying.
According to reports, Zhang Xueliang likes to collect epigraphy, calligraphy, painting and calligraphy. He was one of the famous "Four Young Masters" in the collection circle during the Republic of China and was known as the "Master Collector". Because it is located on the northeastern border of China, Zhang Xueliang named his collection room "Dingyuan Zhai", which probably meant stabilizing the border. The restored display of "Dingyuan Zhai" is mainly based on Zhang Xueliang's early collecting preferences. The collection room located in the Qinglou before the September 18th Incident is displayed in its original state. The furniture is mainly precious golden nan furniture, and the porcelain is from the Ming Dynasty. During the Qing Dynasty, blue and white porcelain was the main type.
The relevant person in charge of Zhang Xueliang’s Former Residence Exhibition Hall said that the original display of Zhang Xueliang’s collection room allows people to have a better understanding of Zhang Xueliang’s personal hobbies outside of his political career, and also makes Zhang Xueliang’s character more full and vivid.
In addition, Zhang Lvying’s bedroom and living room are located in the corner room on the south side of the third floor. The interior furnishings are mainly Western-style furniture, reflecting the fashionable social fashion of the upper class at that time.
It is understood that in the future, all the main buildings in Zhang Xueliang’s former residence will be open to the public, striving to more fully reflect the historical scenes of the life and work of the owner of the former residence, and more comprehensively present the history and culture of Zhang Xueliang’s former residence.
