Catalogue Note

The Zhang Lineage, based in Shanghai Longhua, is a reputable Traditional Chinese Medicine family. Forefather Zhang Jun-tiao (1609-1692) pioneered the family's medical practice. In the following three hundred and sixty years, the Zhang's academic school of Chinese Medicine has been in practice for fourteen generations and was highly respected in the southern regions of the Yangtze River towards the end of the Qing Dynasty and the early Republic period. Many members of the family were not only skillful in medical arts but were also excellent painters and calligraphers. Some cultural nobles who came for clinical consultation frequently, such as Ren Yi, Wu Changshuo, Wang Zhen, Wu Hufan and Yu Youren etc., naturally became friends of Zhang's medical practitioners, and dedicated artworks and calligraphy to family members as gifts or mementos.
A portion of the Zhang family Huaiju Lu collection of Chinese paintings and calligraphy will be offered in the Saturday at Sotheby's: Asian Art, lots 1133 to 1140.
