how curl retrieves a url with # and ! symbols in it?

I was considering using curl to retrieve a page from a url(http://bbs.byr.cn/#!board/JobInfo?p=3) but ended up getting a notice from bash like

$ curl bbs.byr.cn/#!article/JobInfo/102321
bash: !article/JobInfo/102321: event not found

this url is accessible in my browser window, how can I write a curl command line that works on this url?

In general this is not possible that stuff after the hashtag (#) is just handled by JavaScript on the client side. Curl cannot execute JavaScript. You can put that URL in quotes to get the static part of the page, but this is however surly not that what you want.

If you observe the traffic of that page in Firebug you will see that the url http://bbs.byr.cn/board/JobInfo?p=3 will be downloaded. This file you can download to get your results.
