Further details
The masters of You Yi Tang are avid collectors, especially of Zhang Daqian’s paintings. They formed a close bond with Panorama Magazine publisher Shen Weichuang. Fascinated by traditional opera, they built a collection centered on Zhang Daqian and figures related to Peking opera. This selection of folding fans and fan leaves features works by northern and southern masters, including Zhang Daqian, Yu Fei’an, and Zhao Shao’ang, as well as opera legends Mei Lanfang, Xun Huisheng, and Yu Zhenfei. It also includes rare pieces dedicated to Mei Lanfang and his wife, showcasing remarkable dedication.
