As the largest archives in the country-Guangzhou City
Donation ceremony
The new building of the archives just opened on December 28, 2012. In the past less than a month, on January 24, it once again became the focus of attention of major news media. The widow of American artist Liu Bingheng transferred Dr. Ma Chengkuan, a disciple of Liu Bingheng, to donate a total of 360 personal works and collections to the National Archives of Guangzhou. When Ma Chengkuan received the collection certificate from the vice mayor of Guangzhou City, Gong Erzhen, these batches of files had an "official account" in the Guangzhou National Archives, which also added to the collection of the new Guangzhou Museum. How do the personal archives of Chinese-American painters living in the United States float across the ocean and settle in the National Archives in their hometown of Guangzhou? To this end, the reporter interviewed Dr. Ma Chengkuan, a disciple of Liu Bingheng, and He Wuai, director of the Guangzhou Archives Bureau.

Dr. Ma Chengkuan, who contributed to this donation, has a ruddy complexion, a spirit of humor, and long, curly hair with white ears, which adds to the artist's unique artistic temperament, and he can't see the old and sparse old man at all. When the reporter recalled his teacher Liu Bingheng, he was full of affection. He introduced that Mr. Liu Bingheng was born in Panyu, Guangdong in 1915 and was a member of the Guangdong Traditional Painting Research Association. In his early years, he studied painting with Pan Zhizhong, Zhang Guchu, Yao Lixiu and other painters from the Guangdong Chinese Painting Research Society. His paintings are good at characters, flowers, birds, beasts, insects and fish, and he is especially good at landscapes.

For example, the ink painting "Lanting Elegant Collection" is refined and elegant. At the age of eighteen, he entered the Guangzhou City Academy of Fine Arts to study art. During the Anti-Japanese War, Liu Bingheng and a group of students generously donated money to Nanyang during the Anti-Japanese War. All the proceeds were donated to the Anti-Japanese and National Salvation. The war spread to Southeast Asia. He came back and moved to Hong Kong. Speaking of which, Dr. Ma Chengkuan's eyes were filled with tears. He wiped a few times with tissues, and after slightly calming his emotions, he continued. After the founding of New China, his teacher lived in Hong Kong, concentrated on literature and art, and devoted himself to landscape research. Later, he taught in schools such as the University of Hong Kong and the IWC, and his disciples amounted to more than 1,000. He had a great influence in Hong Kong. He lived in the United States in 1996 and died in 2003.

The deep relationship between Dr. Ma Chengkuan and his teacher is because he and his teacher are in the same country, and he has been studying painting with his teacher in Shatian, Hong Kong since 1965, and lived with them for eight years. Ma Chengkuan believes that the standards of painters in Chinese traditional culture are very strict. Only poetry, calligraphy, and painting must be the best. Painter Liu is a pure traditional painter who equips each painting with poetry and writing. "Teacher Liu is good at vocabulary and calligraphy. The calligraphy is elegant and humane, reflecting the profound cultural culture.

他字平之，廣東番禺人，廣州市立美術學校畢業。關於他在廣東國畫研究會中的角色，知之者似乎並不多；至於他在近現代廣東繪畫史上的地位，學術界也未有足夠的認識。筆者偶有在拍場上見其佳作，但對其藝術亦知之甚少。近有其家屬及弟子向廣東省博物館慨捐其書畫作品，余參與其事，得以了解其生平及其藝術概略。[1]
劉秉衡是一個非常傳統的畫家，家學淵源。祖籍江西南城，祖父聘齋太史赴粵任廣東瓊州知府。祖父育有二子，長子佚其名，曾長居上海以書畫為業；次子劉彝，鄉試舉人，娶太史丁仁長之姊，遂落藉番禺。劉彝育有五子，長子劉慶菘，字聘孫，號留庵，又號留公、萍僧，長於篆刻，與黃士陵並稱「雙傑」，其弟子史堅如、胡毅生、陳協之、沈演公、謝英伯、杜之杕、何秀峰、張震圖、凌巨川等都是近代廣東書畫或學界名流，有《藝隱齋篆刻》、《明瑟集》、《海漚集》行世；五子劉慶華即劉秉衡父親，系兩廣方言學校畢業，任法政專門學校教授。劉秉衡伯兄劉玉林則師從鄧爾疋習書法、篆刻，而他自己則隨父親經常參與當時在廣州地區的各類書畫雅集，並向廣東國畫研究會的耆宿請益。
2生平編輯
劉秉衡早歲隨潘致中、張谷雛習畫，並從姚粟若研究畫理。

3珍貴捐贈編輯
作為目前全國規模最大的檔案館——廣州市國家
捐贈儀式
檔案館新館在2012年12月28日剛剛開館。在過去不到一個月的時間，1月24日，它再次成為各大新聞媒體關注的焦點。旅美美術家劉秉衡遺孀轉託劉秉衡弟子馬承寬博士向廣州市國家檔案館傾囊捐出個人作品、收藏品共360件。當馬承寬從廣州市副市長貢兒珍手中接過收藏證書後，這批珍檔在廣州市國家檔案館有了「正式戶口」，也為廣州新館館藏錦上添花。旅美華裔畫家個人珍檔如何漂洋過海落戶其故鄉廣州的國家檔案館？為此，記者採訪了劉秉衡弟子馬承寬博士及廣州市檔案局館長何伍愛。
三絕畫家
促成此次捐贈之事的馬承寬博士，面色紅潤、精神矍鑠，花白捲曲的齊耳長發，增添了其畫家特有的藝術氣質，全然看不出已是年過古稀的老者。面對記者憶及自己的老師劉秉衡，他滿懷深情。他介紹說，劉秉衡先生1915年生於廣東番禺，是廣東國畫研究會後期的成員。早年師從廣東國畫研究會畫家潘致中、張谷雛、姚禮修等習畫。他的畫作兼擅人物花木、鳥獸蟲魚，尤以山水見長。
畫作
如水墨畫《蘭亭雅集》筆墨精鍊、雅緻淡逸。十八歲時，他進入廣州市立美術專科學校學藝，畢業後適逢抗戰。抗戰時期，為救亡圖存，劉秉衡曾與一群同學慷慨赴南洋募捐，所得款項全部捐助於抗日救國，後戰火綿延至東南亞，他為日寇追逼被迫潛匿蘇門答臘荒山達三年之久，直到抗戰結束後方才復出，移居香港。講到此，馬承寬博士雙眼已噙滿淚水，他用紙巾擦拭幾下，略穩定情緒後繼續講到，新中國成立後，老師僑居香港，潛心文藝，致力于山水研究。後來他曾在香港大學、萬國美專等學校授課，弟子達一千多人，在香港影響頗大。1996年他旅居美國，2003年去世。

馬承寬博士與老師的感情之深，緣於他與老師既是同鄉，又從1965年起在香港沙田向老師習畫，並朝夕相處共同生活了八年。馬承寬認為，在中國傳統文化中畫家的標準很嚴格，要詩、書、畫三絕，才可謂畫家，劉老師是每幅畫作都自己配詩、書寫，是一位純粹的傳統畫家。「劉老師善辭賦和書法，書法淡雅有人文氣息，反映出極深的文化涵養。
