Shang Chengzuo once saw the Monkey King Inkstone in the home of a player named Chen. The original owner of the inkstone, He Pengzhou, was from Panyu and was a friend of Zhang Zhidong mentioned earlier. He was in charge of mining Duan inkstones.

Whenever a good Duan stone is collected, a master inkstone will be made into it. The good one will be given to Zhang Zhidong, and the inferior one will be left to others. Whoever collects the three good inkstones mentioned above will name them"Monkey King Inkstone"."、"Songhe Inkstone"、"Fish Brain Frozen Crushed Stone Inkstone" and asked Li Wentian to inscribe the banner"Monkey Crane Inkstone". Li Wentian was a Tanhua in the late Qing Dynasty. He was the Minister of the Ministry of Rites and was a famous calligrapher at that time.

This also shows that He attaches great importance to the three inkstones. degree

"The"Monkey King Inkstone" was carved by Guo Lanxiang, a famous sculptor in Duanxi, with fine carvings. According to the shape of the fish brain jelly in the original stone, it was polished to create a lively expression of a monkey holding longevity peaches about to eat. In the cave where the monkey sits, left, right, up and down The dense woods are arranged, and the composition is ingenious, which can be called a masterpiece. In

October 1951, Wende Road, the most famous antique street in eastern Guangdong City, was full of shops and business was booming.

On this day, a man The middle-aged woman walked into an antique shop tremblingly. The middle-aged woman took out a small package. She opened the package carefully, and an inkstone was exposed.

The shopkeeper took the inkstone in his hand and looked at it repeatedly. Look. This inkstone was black and rectangular, but it didn’t seem to have anything special. The shop owner shook his head. The middle-aged woman was disappointed, sighed, and turned to leave. At this time, a middle-aged man in a suit stood next to her. The man suddenly said,"Wait a minute, I want this inkstone."

Soon, the middle-aged man in a suit bought the square inkstone for 160 yuan. 160 yuan was by no means a small amount in 1951. So, why did the man in a suit spend so much money? , what about buying an inkstone that seems ordinary to others?

Shang Chengzuo's decisive move was of course based on his keen eye for pearl recognition. It turned out that this inkstone was the Duanshi Qianjin Monkey King inkstone, one of the three famous inkstones in Guangdong. This inkstone was finished during the Guangxu period of the Qing Dynasty. It is 17.6 cm long and 2.7 cm thick. On the right side of the inkstone is the inscription"Guangxu Renchen Yushan He Family Xiansou Collection", and on the left side is the inscription"Guo Lanxiang made the inkstone and inscribed on the Xinan", both in fonts. It is an official script.

After Shang Chengzuo bought the Monkey King Inkstone at a large price, he immediately informed the Guangdong Provincial Museum,"You can come to my house to pick it up with the money."

After the museum staff came to look at it, they thought the price was too high. Shang Chengzuo said you can come and pick it up anytime."

Two years later, someone from the museum finally came to go.

Shang Chengzuo told them"Songhe Inkstone" is a crane flying into the pine forest. Although it is not frozen stone, its shape is acceptable and needs to be purchased and hidden;"Gravel Inkstone" is made from various small stones gathered among all the frozen stones. Complete, tempting to appreciate, but the whereabouts are unknown.

These three original inkstones are all collected by his family.

Finally, the deputy director of the Provincial Museum finally went to He's house with Shang Chengzuo to purchase it. They spent 120 yuan to buy a Songhe Inkstone and a banner inscribed"Monkey and Crane Inkstone" by Li Wentian. The whereabouts of the broken stone inkstone were unknown. The precious Duan Inkstone kings from the first two parties finally became museum collections.

During the Anti-Japanese War, he braved the flames of war to collect ancient cultural relics, including a precious bronze mirror from the Warring States Period.

In the world of cultural relic collection, Shang Cheng is a very respected elder.

Shang Chengzuo once said that happiness alone is better than happiness for all. Therefore, he donated many cultural relics from his family collection to the Guangdong Provincial Museum during his lifetime. His descendants also inherited his legacy and donated many cultural relics to the Shenzhen Museum.

Over the years, Tongsuan merchants have donated a total of 120 precious cultural relics to the country without any compensation. Among these cultural relics, more than 60% are national first- and second-class cultural relics. Zhang Wenbin, former director of the State Administration of Cultural Heritage, once said that the cultural relics donated by merchants to the country , both in quantity and quality, are second to none.
