张善孖（1882—1940），名泽，字善孖（因为与大哥荣为双胞胎，故字善孖），后又字善子（因大哥荣夭折，故又字善子），号“虎痴”。出生于四川内江城里一户日见衰落的书香门第，祖上曾任内江县令。善孖是当代国画艺术大师张大千的二哥，以画虎名噪一时。母亲曾友贞出身大家闺秀，不仅贤慧知书达理、持家有道，而且擅长绘画与绣花。有代表画作《戏猫舞蝶图》传世，是当时远近闻名的女国画家，有“张描花”之誉。善孖从四、五岁就在慈母指引下学习绘画，他颇具绘画天赋，善画山水花鸟、骏马与猛虎，其中尤对画虎特别痴迷，爱虎画虎，情有独钟。

说张善子是虎画大师，这绝不是虚言。因为，在古代很长的时光里，古人受条件限制，基本不能见到真虎，多是凭空臆造。而在民国，张善子多次和一些画家冒着生命危险去老虎出没之地写生。甚至，他还亲自养过老虎，一天到晚观察老虎生活状态。因此，他和同时期画家将虎画带上新高度，被尊称为“虎公”。

此幅竹林虎啸图，为张善孖画重要作品之一。规格：宽38.5cm，高108.5cm。张善孖，号虎痴，中国近现代著名画家，以画虎见长。在特殊时期，张善孖以虎抒志，有较强的爱国精神，鼓舞国人的抗争精神。图中猛虎出没于数竿修竹中，其后雾气氤氲。虎的形态栩栩如生，虎眼圆睁，凝视前方，虎身壮硕，精力磅礴，大有猛虎出山百兽散之势。张善子画此图时正值国难当头，他以虎抒志，鼓舞国人保家爱国的抗争精神。

英文翻译：

Zhang Shanzhang (1882-1940), Ming Ze, the word Shanzhang (because he and his elder brother are twins, so the word is good), and later the word is good son (because the elder brother has died, so the word is good). Born in a neglected Shuxiang Mendi in the city of Neijiang, Sichuan, his ancestor once served as the magistrate of Neijiang. Shan Zheng is the second brother of Zhang Daqian, a master of contemporary Chinese painting. His mother, Zeng Youzhen, was born in a boudoir. Not only is she wise and knowledgeable, she has a good sense of family, but she is also good at painting and embroidery. A representative painting, "Drama, Cat and Butterfly" was handed down, and was a well-known female painter at that time, with the reputation of "Zhang Huahua". Shan Xi studied painting under the guidance of his mother from the age of four or five. He is quite talented in painting. He is good at painting landscape flowers, birds, horses and tigers. Among them, he is particularly obsessed with painting tigers, and loves tigers and tigers with a special affection.

To say that Zhang Shanzi is a master of tiger painting is by no means an understatement. Because for a long time in ancient times, the ancients were restricted by conditions and could not see real tigers. They were mostly made out of thin air. In the Republic of China, Zhang Shanzi repeatedly and some painters risked their lives to paint in the places where tigers invaded. He even raised tigers in person and observed the life of the tiger all day long. Therefore, he and other painters of the same period took Tiger painting to a new height and were respected as "Tigers."

This picture of a tiger in the bamboo forest is one of the important works of Zhang Shanzhang. Specifications: 38.5cm wide and 108.5cm high. Zhang Shanzhang, known as a tiger idiot, is a famous painter in modern China. In a special period, Zhang Shanzhen expressed his will with a tiger, had a strong patriotism, and encouraged the people's spirit of resistance. In the picture, the tiger appears in several poles to repair bamboo. The tiger's shape is lifelike, with its eyes wide open, staring at the front, the tiger's body is sturdy, and its energy is vigorous. Zhang Shanzi draws this picture at a time when the country is in trouble. He expresses his will with a tiger, inspiring the people to protect the family and the spirit of patriotism.
