Zhang Daqian’s family was originally from Panyu, Guangdong. They moved to Sichuan in the 22nd year of Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty and lived in Neijiang. His father's name is Beisheng, and his mother, Mrs. Zeng Tai, has ten boys and one girl. The brothers are all single-named. The eldest brother is Ying, the second brother is Ze (good son), the third brother is Xin, the fourth brother is Ji, the fifth brother, the sixth brother, and the seventh brother are Zao Therefore, he walked eight and was named Yuan, his ninth brother was named Duan, and his tenth brother was named Xi. He was born on April 1, 1898.
In 1916, Zhang Daqian went to Chongqing Qiujing Middle School to study. On his way back to Neijiang during the summer vacation, he was kidnapped by bandits and worked as a black pen master for a hundred days. After being taken to a place called "Qianjin Pound", the bandits rested while checking the details of the prisoners. Only then did Zhang Daqian realize that the bandits used them as meat tickets and asked them to write letters home to extort money. When it was Zhang Daqian's turn to write a letter, a bandit named Qiu saw his handwriting and exclaimed with admiration: "This boy's handwriting is beautiful, I think he should be made a black pen master!"
Although Zhang Daqian refused, he couldn't help it at the critical moment of life and death. The next day, the bandits were going to rob Fenggaobu. The bandit named Qiu sent two brothers to take Zhang Daqian back to his lair at Longjingkou in a sedan. Along the way, the bandits standing guard on the roadside actually raised their hands to his sedan. He was not sure whether he should be proud or not. When he arrived at the entrance of Longjing, the bandit leader gave him a pair of ivory badges and a melon-skin hat with a red knot. He was dressed like a master. However, after two days of settling at Longjingkou, government troops were about to attack. The bandits quickly moved their positions and handed him over to another bandit leader named Lao Kang.
Once, Zhang Daqian was forced to follow Lao Kang on a robbery, and he stood aside and watched the fun. Someone warned him: "You have to take things with your hands, otherwise you will violate the taboo. Friends in the underworld cannot return empty-handed." He looked around and saw many books, so he took a copy of "Poetry Connotation" in the study. Britain". Another bandit immediately scolded him: "What's not easy to rob? How do you rob books? It's taboo to lose." He was forced to change to something else, so he had to take the four "Hundred Ninja Pictures" hanging on the wall, and "Poetics" Hanying" and take them away together.
The "Poetics of Hanying" that I "robbed" from the gangster's cave really came in handy. Zhang Daqian started learning poetry from that time on. Among the prisoners, an old Jinshi who had been abused taught him how to fight on an equal footing, which was a rare and strange thing.
Later, Lao Kang secretly contacted the official people, accepted the recruitment, and went to Songgai to accept the adaptation. Lao Kang was remade as company commander and his surname was restored to Zhao, and Zhang Daqian became company commander Zhao's secretary. More than a month later, local troops came to attack Company Commander Zhao and wiped out the entire company. It was only after Zhang Daqian was arrested that he learned that although the local army wanted to recruit bandits, they never really trusted the bandits. When the opportunity came, they would encircle and suppress them when arrangements were made. Fortunately, shortly after Zhang Daqian was arrested, his fourth brother came to rescue him, ending the one hundred days of kidnapping.
