Zhang Ruiji

Zhang Ruiji

Zhang Ruiji (1872-1928) was named Hengyu. Shanxi Zhaocheng (now belongs to Shanxi Hongdong) people. Guangxu 29 years (1903) Jinshi. After 1906, he served as magistrate in Hancheng, Xingping, Lintong, Chang'an and other counties in Shaanxi Province.

Life of the characters

Before the revolution of 1911, he joined the Chinese League. On the third day of Xi'an's recovery, he was ordered to organize the people's Government in Xianning county. On October 29, the people's government and the general staff office merged into the general affairs office, and Zhang and Wang xihou jointly presided over the Quanxu Bureau under the general affairs office. After the founding of the Republic of China, he resigned to Taiyuan and served as the financial secretary of the military government of Shanxi Province. At the beginning of 1913, he was officially appointed as the civil affairs chief of Shanxi Province. He abandoned his seal and went to Xi'an, where he was elected as an adviser to the military government of Shaanxi Province.

After the revolution of 1911, on the one hand, Yuan Shikai used the power of the southern revolutionary party to coerce the Qing emperor to abdicate, on the other hand, he took advantage of the northern forces to bargain with the south, and did not hesitate to gather heavy troops to attack the army led by the revolutionary party. In the north south peace negotiation which began on December 18, 1911, yuan family played tricks from time to time and attacked the revolutionaries in Shaanxi and Shanxi provinces for "group robbers", shouting that "Qin Jin group robbers are not included in the terms of the peace negotiation". Zhang Zhishu and Yuan Shikai: "the Deacon said that the bandits in the Qin and Jin Dynasties. Ruiji didn't dare to argue. However, those who were ordered by the deacon to recruit the bandits were more harmful than the bandits. The deacons can't help but see it as a remnant of the people; they can't help but make enemies against the world; they can't help but show timidity by avoiding the front of the southern army and attacking the Qin and Jin Dynasties; they can't help fighting a truce in the imperial court and planning an attack in the evening. The disabled people are not benevolent, the enemies are not wise, the cowards are not brave, the allies are not faithful, and the people of Qin and Jin Dynasties are ready to wait for the deacons. "

When Zhang learned that Yuan Shikai forced Sun Yat Sen to abdicate the presidency, he wrote to Yuan Shikai again, saying: "if the president is elected by the people, it is not the private election of one party. Sun Gongren wanted to return, so the whole world took it together, and he was able to confer it on others in private. " However, under the support of imperialism and the attack of compromise forces within the revolutionary party, Sun Yat Sen officially announced on April 1, 1912 that he was relieved of the post of interim president and handed over the power to Yuan Shikai.

Yuan's rule of China for four years, bad things done, and finally "accumulated evil into a disease, die.". In addition to being fortunate, Zhang wrote "a tribute to Yuan Shikai" with pungent writing style, which said: "you are dead today! The dream of the emperor will not come true. When the people are exhausted, they beg for beauty and Japan. Trickery deceives the world, and the wise man's teeth are cold. If you accumulate evil, you will die. His clothes were eclosion and his face was ferocious. EEH! It's hard to tell the smell from the fragrance when you die a year earlier. Today's materialization is the final conclusion. Alas If the public opinion is to be solicited in China, who will keep it

Yuan Shikai dissolved the parliament on January 10, 1914, in order to establish a presidential centralized political system of personal dictatorship. In March of the same year, he bribed 60 members to hold a treaty conference, set up a royal "law making organ" and passed the so-called "new treaty law", which was opposed to the provisional treaty law of the Republic of China. Zhang and some honest people were not included in the Convention. Later, Cao Kun bribed 5000 yuan each member to elect the president, but Zhang did not accept it.

In August 1916, Zhang said in his portrait: "you are five out of forty this year. You are always at odds with the world. People are new and you are corrupt, people are old and you are new. You are wise, you are good You are not self-conscious, but still self-conscious. The classics and history store your intestines and bend your belly. Your poems are wild and wild, and your writing is strange and angry. You are poor and bored, and disdain to be with others. Thirty years later, there will be no more you in the world. Ho ho! Why bother you? "

In 1918, Zhang Yiguo, a member of Parliament, was stationed in Beijing. In February of the next year, representatives of the north and the South attending the Shanghai Peace Conference agreed to send Zhang to Shaanxi for demarcation and armistice.

At that time, tens of thousands of Zhifeng army, Jin army, Gan army and Sichuan army sent by the Beiyang government, together with Liu Zhenhua Department of Zhensong army, were assisting Chen Shufan to besiege the Yasukuni army in Guanzhong. When the Yasukuni army heard that Zhang Laishan was in charge of the demarcation truce, they all eagerly looked forward to it. But Zhang did not make it. Later, urged by all parties, he left for Shaanxi on March 12 and arrived in Xi'an on March 22. At that time, Chen Shufan's "eight provinces allied forces" had made great progress. He was arrogant and had no sincerity to compromise. He ignored the Yasukuni army's proposal to resume the first armistice order (referring to the order of armistice and strike issued by the Beiyang government on November 16, 1918) and to withdraw the northern army that besieged Qianxian county. He still falsely accused the Yasukuni army of sticking to Qianxian County as a bandit. Zhang Ruiji is attracted by Chen and favors the north. In his telegram, he also implicitly says that the Yasukuni army is all "bandits". Zhang Ruiji's words and deeds aroused great indignation of the Yasukuni army in Shaanxi Province. Yu Youren, commander-in-chief, told all parties strictly to refute them. In his letter to Zhang, he said, "I heard that the Deacon is going, and the calligraphy and paintings of ancient things in Chang'an city are very expensive." Zhang Bude went away unhappily, exposing Zhang Ruiji's ugly behavior of accepting Chen Shufan's bribe. " Office of the literature and History Research Committee of the Western Provincial Committee: summary of Shaanxi Jingguo army, published in Shaanxi Jingguo army, Shaanxi people's publishing house, 1987 edition, P. 17).

Since then, Zhang lived in seclusion in Chang'an, studying behind closed doors, and never wanted to ask about politics. He died on January 6, 1928. He is the author of who garden collection, which contains six volumes of poems and six volumes of articles.

He likes to collect ancient books. He bought many ancient military books with a lot of money on his way to every place. Among them, he collected 82 pieces of Sun Wu's art of war from bamboo slips, which were later edited into volumes by his father Zhang Lianjia. "Who garden" is a place for reading and collecting books. He has collected more than 100000 volumes of books and hundreds of painting and calligraphy works, but many of them are left behind. After liberation, 100000 volumes of books were donated to Shanxi Provincial Library for collection. In 1952, the people's Government of Shanxi Province sent a letter to Zhang Jia about his book donation. The poet is very open-minded. He once said that when I build this garden, I don't know who will own it, so it is called "whose garden". Later, this garden was not owned by Zhang Jia. His library is now a local government office building. His poems and essays are few, only more than 300, but most of them are excellent. Later generations have compiled Zhang Ruiji's anthology.

Zhang Ruiji

Zhang Ruiji, a famous person during the revolution of 1911, was an official of the Qing Dynasty and became a friend and comrade of the revolutionary party long before the revolution of 1911. After that, he wrote two books to Yuan Shikai with righteous and strict words. He resisted Cao Kun's bribery, denounced Lu Yongxiang's banditry and Shen Mingchang, a member of the anti imperialist party, which fully demonstrated the character and courage of a just and upright man. He was famous for his reputation and won the respect of later generations. Zhang Ruiji was also a book collector and scholar. He collected 100000 volumes of books and later donated them to Shanxi Provincial Library. This outstanding man is a native of southern Shanxi. To me, he is also a local sage. Therefore, he is very proud of having such a local sage. Unfortunately, his deeds are little known. At the same time, he is a painter and a very excellent poet, which is even more unknown. Today, I read the newly published collection of Zhang Ruiji's poems and essays to know his poems and even more about him. I feel sorry that such an excellent poet has been buried.

Zhang Taiyan said in the tomb list of former councillor Zhang Jun that Zhang Ruiji "said that calligraphy is not as good as painting, painting is not as good as poetry, and poetry is not as good as being a person, and that Zhang Ruiji talked about clouds." It can be seen that Zhang Ruiji is conceited of his poems besides his personality. The noble and upright spirit expressed in Zhang's poems, like his prose, is just like his personality. This paper focuses on the achievements of his poems. Some of his quatrains are unforgettable and admirable. For example, when giving Yu Shoushi a gift, Shoushi made a living by painting in Haiwang village

In the year of dragon and snake's separatist rule in the mainland, the end of the pen was strange, and the end of the war began.

Some people have sold the Central Plains, and the rivers and mountains in the paintings are not worth money!

In Xugou daozhong:

Light and steady as a boat nap, tree outside the castle, hill outside the building.

On the soft sand road of Shilihe beach, Ma Ling dreams of passing Xugou.

"The picture of Wu mountain people returning to the south of the Yangtze River"

Yuzhuang sunset willows, water shadow sky blue.

A cloth sail double oar rain, steady shake poem dream of Jiangnan.

The latter two sentences are full of ups and downs to bring forth new ideas, or create beautiful language because of the situation. All of them are wonderful, which shows his extraordinary talent. In particular, "a piece of cloth sail, double oar rain, steady shake poem dream of Jiangnan", leisurely and beautiful, can be compared with the famous song dynasty sentence "regardless of the storm and wind, will leave hate Jiangnan", is a rare sentence in modern times.

Zhang Ruiji's profound old learning and poetic accomplishment are more reflected in the ancient style and metrical poetry. Most of the concentrated poems are ancient style and regular poems, and they are excellent. Ancient customs such as "zuigexing", which laments the invasion of foreigners and the sleeping lion does not wake up, the "drunken song of Wa Huang mausoleum" and "Wan Huang Keqiang", which lament the war, are all very powerful and talented, and it is very moving to read. In particular, he denounced yanghuaqu, a work of bribery and betrayal by powerful officials in the imperial court, which is full of passion and courage, and is still inspiring today.

When Zhang Ruiji, a Jinshiji, was appointed as the county magistrate of Hancheng, there was a scandal of selling officials in the imperial court, which was caused by Yang Cuixi, a famous actor in Tianjin. Yang Cuixi, a female actress, is the best actress in the world in terms of color art. Duan Zhigui, who was good at drilling camp, was later granted the title of first-class Duke because he supported Yuan Shikai as emperor. At that time, Duan Zhigui lived in Tianjin, so he paid for Yang Cuixi to leave his native place and send him to Zaizhen. His worth and dowry cost hundreds of thousands. A few days later, the court ordered Duan Zhigui to be the governor of Heilongjiang Province. Zhao Qilin, the censor of the Qing Dynasty, ordered Prince Chun zaifeng and his bachelor sun Jianai to investigate. The two men not only wanted to protect the officials, but also wanted to take care of the dignity of the royal family. How could they seriously investigate? Because Zaizhen heard that he had secretly sent Yang Cuixi out of his residence, he ordered him to reply with "no evidence". On the contrary, Zhao Qilin, the imperial censor, said "impeachment is not true."
