中國因歷史久遠有著許多的文物，但許多愛好文物的人都不會願意它們流落海外。而還有一些人是無私的，他們會選擇把自己苦心保留的文物捐給國家，以此來保護文物。就連溥儀也是無償捐獻過一些，像如今收藏在故宮博物館的那枚田黃石三聯章。田黃石三聯章本是乾隆皇帝的印璽，溥儀被趕出紫禁城的時候就貼身帶著它，直到1955年把它捐給了國家。然而有一些人卻把文物無償捐獻給美國，國內的人從他那裡只能花取鉅額來購買，有時候還不賣，這個人名叫翁萬戈。
China has a long history of many cultural relics, but many people who love cultural relics will not want them to go abroad. And some people are selfless. They will choose to donate their cultural relics to the country to protect them. Even Puyi donated some for free, such as the Tian Huangshi triple seal which is now collected in the Palace Museum. Tian Huangshi's triple seal was originally the seal of Emperor Qianlong. When Puyi was expelled from the Forbidden City, he took it with him and donated it to the state in 1955. However, some people donate cultural relics to the United States for free. People in China can only spend a huge sum of money to buy them, sometimes they don't sell them. This person is called Weng Vango.
翁萬戈的家中有著大量的文物，其中還有不少是精品，而這些並不是他收藏的，而是他從家族之中得到的。這一切都要從一個人說起，他名叫翁同龢，對於晚清，可能大多人對李鴻章、曾國藩、左宗棠等人都比較熟悉，而翁同龢正是跟他們是同一時代的人物。翁同龢1830年出生，1904年去世。
There are a large number of cultural relics in Weng Vango's home, many of which are boutiques, which are not collected by him, but obtained from his family. All of this starts with a man named Weng Tonghe. In the late Qing Dynasty, most people may be familiar with Li Hongzhang, Zeng Guofan, Zuo Zongtang and others, and Weng Tonghe is a person of the same era. Weng Tonghe was born in 1830 and died in 1904.
他的經歷也不簡單，咸豐六年（1856年），得了殿試的第一名，也就是狀元。後來更是兩次進入軍機處，先後擔任同治、光緒的帝師。那些文物也不是翁同龢一代人累積下來的，他的父親是體仁閣的大學士翁心存，在朝中也是頗有影響的一個人物。特別喜歡收藏書，根據記載來看，他曾經一次購買過4萬冊的藏書，都是極有收藏價值的。
His experience is not simple. In 1856, Xianfeng won the first place in the palace examination, that is, the number one scholar. Later, he entered the military aircraft department twice, and successively served as the emperor division of Tongzhi and Guangxu. Those cultural relics were not accumulated by the Weng Tonghe generation. His father was Weng Xincun, a scholar of the Ti renge University. He was also an influential figure in the dynasty. He especially likes collecting books. According to the records, he once bought 40000 books, which are of great collection value.
在翁心存去世後，按照古人的邏輯，藏書大半是給了長子翁同書，可翁同書去世後卻把藏書給了翁同龢。翁同龢大概是繼承了父親喜歡收藏的喜好，時不時的購買一些，別人為了討好他這個帝師也會特意找來名貴的藏書相送。翁同龢在京城當官當了四十多年，他手裡握著的人脈是一般收藏家遠遠不能及的。後來的學者一向認為，他的收藏有很多高學術價值的善本，按標準還屬於國寶級重要文物的那種。
After the death of Weng Xincun, according to the ancient logic, most of the books were collected by Weng Tongshu, the eldest son, but Weng Tongshu gave the collection to Weng Tonghe after his death. Weng Tonghe probably inherited his father's favorite collection, and bought some from time to time. In order to please him, the emperor's teacher would also find some valuable books to send. Weng Tonghe has been an official in the capital for more than 40 years, and his contacts are far beyond the reach of ordinary collectors. Later scholars have always believed that his collection has many good books of high academic value, which still belong to the kind of national treasure level important cultural relics according to the standard.
不過翁同龢雖然一輩子收藏得多，可他沒有兒子繼承，於是在去世後，他所有的遺產都給了哥哥翁同爵過繼給他的兒子翁曾翰。不巧的是，在之後的傳承之中又有人沒有孩子，只好從翁同龢哥哥翁同書的後代裡找一個孩子來繼承，而這個孩子正是翁萬戈。這樣算來可不是遠了幾輩，也是一個天上掉餡餅的事，只因沒有孩子啊。
However, although Weng Tonghe collected a lot in his life, he did not have a son to inherit, so after his death, all his inheritance was passed on to his brother Weng tongjue to his son Weng zenghhan. Unfortunately, in the later inheritance, some people had no children, so they had to find a child from the descendants of Weng Tonghe's brother Weng Tongshu to inherit, and this child is Weng Vango. It's not a matter of generations. It's also a matter of pie in the sky. It's only because there are no children.
翁萬戈出生在1918年，他被過繼並且接受家產的時候才兩歲。從兩歲開始，他以後的生活都不必再愁，這些文物可夠他活幾輩子的。為了保護這批收藏，1938年戰事剛起，翁萬戈就把收藏打了包，從天津運去上海轉道去了美國紐約。從這以後他就一直定居在紐約，估計翁同龢怎麼都不會想到，自己花了一輩子收藏的文物最終的歸宿是國外的博物館。或許還是世代相傳吧，當初翁同龢就能為了跟李鴻章的恩怨耽誤北洋水師。
Born in 1918, he was only two years old when he was adopted and accepted. From the age of two, he doesn't have to worry about his future life. These cultural relics can last him for several lifetimes. In order to protect these collections, Weng Vango packed them as soon as the war began in 1938, and transported them from Tianjin to Shanghai and then to New York, the United States. Since then, he has been living in New York. It is estimated that Weng Tonghe would never think that the final destination of the cultural relics he has spent his whole life collecting is foreign museums. Maybe it's still handed down from generation to generation. At the beginning, Weng Tonghe was able to delay the Beiyang Navy for the sake of his enmity with Li Hongzhang.
2000年，翁萬戈把家藏的80多種宋元明清珍稀古籍，通過拍賣公司以450萬美元的價格賣給了上海圖書館。買也沒什麼，畢竟這是人家家藏的，然而讓所有人想不到的是，翁萬戈轉頭就免費給美國捐贈了一批。2018年12月13日，波士頓藝術博物館宣佈，他們接受翁萬戈給的史上數量最多並且意義最非凡的一批書畫捐贈。
In 2000, Weng sold more than 80 rare ancient books of song, yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties collected by his family to Shanghai Library at a price of 4.5 million US dollars through auction company. It's nothing to buy. After all, it's from someone else's house. However, to everyone's surprise, Weng Vango turned around and donated a batch of money to the United States for free. On December 13, 2018, the Boston Museum of art announced that they received the largest number of paintings and calligraphy donations from Weng Vango
這批文物一共是183件，其中包括130幅繪畫、31幅書法、18件拓片、4件刺繡。這些文物價值各有不同，基本上包括在十三個世紀五個朝代中。而翁萬戈本人還是波士頓博物館的長期資助人，1875年翁同龢狠下心購得的長江萬里圖也被他送了出去。這幅圖，翁同龢買回來之後愛得不行，足足花了他四百兩銀子都捨得，就這樣輕描淡寫的無償捐贈了出去。不知翁同龢要是知道他辛辛苦苦收藏的藏品，就這樣被翁萬戈送給了外國會不會氣得冒青煙？
There are 183 pieces in total, including 130 paintings, 31 calligraphy, 18 rubbings and 4 embroidery. These cultural relics have different values, which are basically included in the Five Dynasties of the 13th century. Weng was also a long-term patron of Boston Museum. In 1875, Weng Tonghe bought the map of Yangtze River, which was also sent out by him. This picture, after Weng Tonghe bought it, he couldn't love it. He spent 400 liang of silver to give it away, so he gave it away for free. I don't know if Weng Tonghe knew the collection he had worked hard to collect, would he be angry and smoke if he was sent to a foreign country by Weng Vango?
