The collections presented and offered up to auctions from Lot 32 through Lot 108; and additional related documents and or manuscripts from Lot 312 to Lot 348. Tsiang Tingfu, Jiang Tingfu (17 February 1895 - 9 October 1965), was a historian and diplomat of the Republic of China who published in English under the name T.F. Tsiang. Tsiang was born in Shaoyang, Hunan. Tsiang's education from his teenage years had been Western and largely Christian, and he converted to Christianity at 11. Having been urged to study in the US by his teacher from a missionary school, he was sent in 1911 to study in the United States, where he attended the Park Academy, Oberlin College and Columbia University. His dissertation, "Labor and Empire: A Study of the Reaction of British Labor, Mainly as Represented in Parliament, to British Imperialism Since 1880, led him into issues in the relation of foreign relations and domestic politics, which would structure his scholarship after he returned to China. After obtaining a Ph.D., he returned to China in 1923, where he took up a position at Nankai University and then at Tsinghua University. Following mounting tensions in China's relations with imperial Japan, Tsiang left academia in 1935 and joined the Chinese Nationalist government, which he served in many different capacities throughout the Sino-Japanese War. Between 1947 and 1962, Tsiang served as the Permanent Representative of China to the United Nations. He also served as the ambassador of China to the United States. ARTIST BIO: Lu Ji (1477 - 1536) was one of the leading bird-and-flower painters of the Ming dynasty and a prominent member of the Zhe School active in the imperial painting academy. Renowned for his dynamic depictions of eagles, cranes, and courtly flora, he combined bold, expressive brushwork with meticulous rendering and rich mineral pigments. His works exemplify the refined yet powerful aesthetic favored by the Ming court, earning him a distinguished place among the most influential painters of the period. Paintings attributed to Lu Ji are held in major museums, including the Palace Museum, Beijing, and the National Palace Museum, Taipei.
