Shi Kefa guarded Huaiyang and granted Zhang Dan the title of city guard of guide prefecture (Shangqiu) to join the army. During the reign of Kangxi in the Qing Dynasty, Zhang Dan worked as an official to be the commander-in-chief and deputy general. In 1654, Zhang Dan returned to the field and donated 26000 liang of silver to build the Jingshan bridge in Xuzhou. Zhang Dan's nephew Zhang Zhupo is a novel critic of Jin Ping Mei. Zhang's poems and books are inherited from the world, and his literary style comes down in one continuous line.

His father, Zhang Renguang (Puyuan), lived in Henan for 30 years. Ren Guang is good at Ci, especially calligraphy. Boying was taught by the court when she was young. When she was weak, her poetry and calligraphy had come to the fore. Boying and her Uncle Zhang congren (Zi Yunsheng) were of the same age. When they were young, they studied in a private school of Li Fuzhong's family in Xiaoxian county. They were educated by Mr. Xu Kui Nan and were friends with their son Xu Shuzheng (Zi Youzheng). He studied calligraphy and painting with his great Uncle Chen Xunqi. Later, he studied under Xu nankui, GUI Zhongxing, Feng Xu, etc.

In 1902, the Qing government conducted the examination of "gengzi xinchou Enke". Zhang Boying and Zhang Yunsheng went to Jinling to take the examination. Their uncle and nephew won the examination in the same subject. In the same year, Zhang's uncle and nephew opened a library to teach his apprentices in order to maintain his family. The governor of the Bank of Guangxi called Bo Ying to Pengcheng to study in huaixia.

In 1911, Zhang Boying set up a museum in Nanjing Xiaguan Railway Bureau, where she lived with Xu Shuzheng. Boying traveled south to Guangzhou, returned to Nanjing, and set up a museum for several years before going north.

In 1914, Duan Qirui was the Minister of the army, Xu Shuzheng was the deputy director of the army, so Zhang Boying was employed as the secretary.

After the second Zhifeng war in 1924, Duan Qirui was in power for the Beiyang government, and Zhang Boying served as deputy secretary general.

In 1926, when the "March 18th" massacre happened, Zhang Boying witnessed the corruption and darkness in the officialdom, and resolutely retired, never set foot in politics again. He began his calligraphy and painting career. Seeking food and clothing through artistic labor. In 1949, he died of poverty and disease in the "Xiaolai poultry house" in Beijing.

Zhang Boying settled at the entrance of beiguanfangkou, Yandai Xiejie street, shenwumen, Beijing. The library number is "Xiaolai poultry house." Xing Dong, a famous calligrapher in Ming Dynasty, is good at reading calligraphy, and has 10 volumes of laiqinguan calligraphy. Boying once received Wang Xizhi's "Seventeen posts", in which there are words such as "laiqin" and so on, and he pursues Xingdong, so it is called xiaolaiqinguan.

After the Japanese army occupied Beijing, Zhang Boying lived in seclusion and maintained his national integrity. The Japanese once bought "Seventeen posts" with 100000 silver dollars.

He was still obsessed with painting and calligraphy, and had noble and elegant moral integrity. Zhang Boying has close contacts with famous artists at home, such as Kang Youwei, Liang Qichao, Yu Youren, Zhang Xueliang, Lin Qinnan, Qi Baishi and Rong Geng, and is famous in Beijing and Tianjin for his excellent appreciation of stone calligraphy and painting.

The general history of Qing Dynasty written by Xiao Yishan was inscribed by Sun Yat Sen, Cai Yuanpei and Zhang Boying. Zhang Boying was most successful in running regular script, and also good at seal script. The regular script structure is tight but not rigid, the font is regular and dignified, square and round. It is broad, bold, open, compact and tight, and has a lot of strength. The regular script is simple, elegant and natural. Zhang Boying's pen is full of strength, perfect and precipitous. He has the skill of bowing and giving way to each other when he touches the spot. The pen is solid, the words are full of vitality, dignified and implicit, not muddy in the past, not flattering in the present, and full of innovative spirit. With a pen, you can freely use it.

In his later years, he missed his hometown very much, and many of his poems were nostalgic. His representative works include five character poems, such as the rhyme of dragon mountain climbing on the ninth day of the cloud of Han Dynasty, seven character poems, talking with the cloud mountain building of Han Dynasty, and the Mid Autumn Festival. The poems are full of sincere feelings.

Zhang Boying's deep nostalgia for his hometown is not only expressed in his poems and essays, but also in his collection and research of the local documents and his arrangement and publication. The seven unique banners of Yan Ermei's running script collected in Xuzhou museum are treasures collected by Zhang Boying and donated by his descendants.

Boying paid close attention to the local documents and collected them most diligently. The most praiseworthy one is the publication of Xu Zhou Xu Shi Zheng. As early as the end of the Qing Dynasty, the governor of Xuzhou, guizhongxing, had compiled and printed a collection of Xuzhou poems. The book was completed in a hurry, which is a pity for its legacy. Zhang Boying began to compile it in the late spring of 1929 and published it in the late summer of 1935.

Zhang Boying loved calligraphy all his life. In his early years, he started with his face and body, then studied Wei stele, and became a family. Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there have been a large number of talents in Xuzhou calligraphy circle, forming Pengcheng calligraphy school. Pengcheng School of calligraphy has always been based on the Beibei stele, with its square strength and clumsy style. Zhang Boying inherits the tradition of Pengcheng calligraphy school, and takes root in the soul of the Han Dynasty. He uses Su and Huang as his writing style. His regular script structure is tight but not rigid. His writing style is regular and free and easy. His writing style is square and round, broad and bold, compact and tight. The running script is simple and elegant, primitive and natural, and has the effect of seizing people. Cursive also shows its strength. Profound skills come from tradition and practice from originality. Then he took the name of Pengcheng calligraphy style and became the leader of Pengcheng calligraphy school. Later, under the influence of Kang Youwei, Bao Shichen and other Jinshi schools, he studied the epitaph of Zhang Xuan and other northern steles, and his bone style was naturally outstanding.

He also excelled in the evaluation of inscriptions. He once imitated the style of Siku synopsis and wrote seven volumes of Fati synopsis. Among them, 512 kinds of calligraphy inscriptions from Song Dynasty to Qing Dynasty are listed, and the advantages and disadvantages of various calligraphy schools are discussed in detail. It is an authoritative masterpiece in the field of calligraphy. He said, "I have no other skills in my life, but I have to inherit my family's instructions, and I have nothing to lose in distinguishing the authenticity of the calligraphy." Being honest and honest, he has made a lot of contributions to carrying forward the traditional culture of the motherland, which is respected by people.

For a time, Boying's calligraphy was outstanding from remote areas to Tongdu Dayi, and was praised by the world. At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, Zhang Boying and Zhao Shengbo were called the north and South schools, and Fu Zengxiang, Hua Shikui and Zheng Xiaoxu were called the four masters of calligraphy. Up to now, the plaques of "Yizhao cotton department store" in Dashilan, Qianmen, guanfuzhai in the West Street of Liulichang and Moyuan Pavilion in the East Street of Liulichang are all written by Bo Ying and still hang in front of the door.

Mr. Wang has been honest and upright all his life. He disdained to associate with the feudal warlords, abandoned his official position, and sold his words for a living. After the fall of Peiping, he could not live in seclusion. He wrote many times to the puppet city of Xuzhou at that time
