NOTE:
In November 1945, Zhang Daqian flew from Sichuan to Beijing. In Beijing, Zhang resided at Yang Yun Xuan in the Summer Palace where he reunited with his relatives and friends, including Pu Ru, after being long apart. Hence, Pu’s inscriptions are often found on the works created by Zhang during this period of time.
