Zhang Daqian (1899-1983) is one of the greatest Chinese painting masters of the 20th century, renowned both domestically and internationally. Although he achieved early fame in Beijing and Shanghai, he had a deep connection with Chongqing. In the spring of 1914, Zhang Daqian traveled to Chongqing to study at the Qiujing School, where he spent over two years of secondary school, establishing a solid foundation in Chinese literature. In 1916, he left his native Sichuan for the first time to study in Japan, also departing from Chongqing by boat along the Yangtze River to Shanghai. The magnificent scenery along the Yangtze River left a deep impression on him. During the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Zhang Daqian also visited Chongqing several times to hold exhibitions. For example, on December 3, 1938, he and Yan Jiyuan held an exhibition at the Chongqing Yingnianhui to raise funds for winter clothing; in May 1944, he held an exhibition of Zhang Daqian's reproductions of Dunhuang murals at the Chongqing Lianglukou Central Library.

Very distinctive museum, worth visiting. It seems that you need to make an appointment online in advance. The museum has a &quot;Qin Liangyu&quot; war robe. Guess how tall the female general is? The traffic is convenient, and the subway Ⓜ️ Line 10 auditorium station is not far away.
