President's calligraphy in the Republic of China

During the Beiyang period of the Republic of China, from 19 12 to 1928, the total * * * was only 16, but it changed a lot of presidents (or temporary governors) like a lantern. From top to bottom, there is basically a rule-whoever has more soldiers is stronger. Generally speaking, after Yuan Shikai's death, Beiyang * * * was successively taken over by Anhui Department, directly affiliated department and Feng Department, and was in power for four years in turn. Every time the high-level power changes, the smooth transition of local leaders is correspondingly rare. This is a military contest between you and me ... Therefore, in many parts of this country, there are not many wars and small-scale conflicts continue. In this case, the lives of ordinary people have been affected. At that time, the old painter Qi Baishi decided to "drift north" because of frequent bandits! Qi Baishi's hometown is Xiangtan, Hunan. In the late period of 10, bandits often appeared in his hometown. Qi Baishi officially settled in Beijing in 19 19, and the hero of this paper is from Hubei, a neighboring province of Hunan. His personal glory period began in 192 1. At that time, he settled in Hubei officially because of putting down the mutiny, and realized the smooth handover of provincial political power. Who is this man? His name is Xiao Yaonan. Although few people know and have heard of him, there must be many people in his hometown who are willing to mention him and his story. From Shen Meng's point of view, this is just like the author's hometown-Shaanxi people. When it comes to Jingwumu, Guo Jian and Zhang Fenghui, many post-40 s and post-50 s can still be counted. After all, this is a man who has been in charge of Hubei for five years, and his ability and strength are enough to dominate. Xiao Yaonan's means of dominating one side can be described as light: Wang Zhanyuan, the former overseer, failed to pay his salary for a long time, which led to the army mutiny and began to burn, kill and plunder. Seeing that it was hard to suppress, Wang Zhanyuan turned to Wu for help, and Wu ordered Xiao Yaonan to lead the 25th division to reinforce. In Hankou, Xiao Yaonan held his ground. Wang Zhanyuan invited again and again, knowing Xiao Yaona's thoughts, and simply took the searched cars and belongings and resigned from Hubei overseers. At this time, Wang Zhanyuan has been supervising Hubei for more than five years! The money collected locally is enough for him to spend his old age and run a business! In fact, Wang Zhanyuan is much luckier than Yao-nan Xiao. After all, he died in the office. 192 1 Since he became the governor of Hubei in August, Xiao Yaonan has made many plans to stabilize his position. The head of his army was not only replaced by one of his own, but he also learned from experience, did not deduct wages or make up allowances, and treated some influential generals very favorably ... Only in this way did the situation gradually stabilize, and soon, he drove away the Governor Liu Chengen and the monk Xiang. Two years later, he was officially appointed governor and promoted to general of the army and special envoy of the two lakes. Xiao Yaonan was so beautiful at that time! As soon as the domestic situation stabilized, external contradictions came again. After all, he is a direct line person, and his relationship with Wu is extremely delicate. He was afraid that Wu would encroach on his interests, and he had to work with Wu to deal with Anhui and Feng departments. There is no lack of friction between forward and backward, and then friction ... It is under this historical condition that Xiao Yaonan was extremely distressed and depressed for several months. February 1926, 13, he probably caught a cold and couldn't take any medicine, but he was in good spirits and could write a handwritten imperial edict. One day later, in the process of diagnosis and treatment by German doctors, he died during enema! Because Xiao Yaonan has only three days from illness to death-the first two days are normal. Many people suspect that he was assassinated, but this is not the case. During the treatment, his family has been on the side, and poisoning is purely a rumor! Although he was in power for only five years, Xiao Yaonan also made some contributions: for example, he attached great importance to water conservancy construction and personally supervised the construction of water conservancy projects. Under his impetus, colleges in several provinces have been changed into universities, such as Hubei Law School and Wuchang University. Wuchang University here is the predecessor of Wuhan University. Another unexpected thing: 1924, at the beginning of the warlords' scuffle, Xiao Yaonan supported the establishment of the National Sports Congress Committee and successfully held the Third National Games-a pioneering work of people after 95 years! Finally, let's take a look at Xiao Yaonan's calligraphy-do you believe this warlord can write in Chinese calligraphy? Actually, I believe it. When I was a child, my family was poor and I had two sons, he and his brother. Who is going to study? The father chose his promising youngest son, Xiao Yaonan. After studying for several years, I got a scholar. I didn't continue the exam because I had no money. He worked as a private school teacher in his hometown, but because he had no money, he left home to be a soldier after teaching for two or three years. From teacher Wen to military commander, he finally achieved his later achievements! There are only three of his calligraphy works circulating on the Internet, so it's hard to tell whether they are true or false. There is no doubt that he wrote the plaque. The plaque is entitled "Young Flowers". It's 1924 Xiao Yaonan's birthday gift to Mrs. Mao Pinshan, praising Mrs. Mao for being healthy and beautiful in her sixties. This plaque was known to the world in the form of news many years ago. The other two books, a diploma issued by Xiao Yaonan and a letter written by him, are regular script, which is very standard. If it is really written by him, it can generally prove that his writing skills are still quite powerful. But there are too few calligraphy materials on the Internet. Do you believe this is his handwriting?
