One of the four talents in Hainan

Zhang Yuesong, together with Qiu Jun, Hai Rui and Wang Tongxiang, is known as the four great talents in Hainan. He is the "Book Jue" among the four unique talents in Hainan (Qiu Jun is the "Book Jue", Hai Rui is the "loyalty Jue", and Wang Tongxiang is the "poem Jue"). He wrote 10 volumes of yunxinchang anthology, 4 volumes of yunxintang poetry anthology, 1 volume of the journey to the north of the Grand Canal, 1 volume of the record of training scholars, and 1 volume of Gongdu biecun.

Father and son Jinshi

Zhang Zhongyan, the second son of Zhang Yuesong, was named Zhongsheng. He was elected in the examination of Yisike (1845) and zhihaike (1839) in Daoguang. He served as the literary selection chief of the Ministry of officials, Jixun chief, Jiangnan chief of the Ministry of household, the censor of Zhejiang Dao, and the magistrate of Xuanhua. Later, because of offending the treacherous and sycophantic, he was demoted to the magistrate of Tang County, and died in office. He made great achievements in his official career. In his youth, although he was intelligent, he was very playful. His father left home to be an official, so he couldn't discipline him, so he didn't do well in his studies. After he got married, he became addicted to Fang Wei and was even less interested in learning. His wife looked forward to his success. Although she repeatedly admonished him, Zhong Yan did not listen. When Yue Song knew this, he asked for leave to go home to visit his relatives. He planned to find a learned Mr. Xibin and invite him home to educate Zhong Yan, Zhong Xiu and Zhong can's sons. On his way home through Guangzhou, Zhang Yuesong returned to his hometown at the suggestion of Chen Songqing, a friend who was studying in Guangdong at that time. Zhang Yuesong examined the knowledge of his sons, which made him dissatisfied and even more worried about Zhong Yan. On this day, Zhang Yuesong was depressed, thinking about Chen Songqing's saying, "why worry? You'll know when you get home.". After reading for a while, he felt at a loss, so he picked up his pen and practiced calligraphy. After a while, he felt bored, so he put down his pen and paper and went out for a walk. When he came back, I saw him just now
