Zhang Boying's deep attachment to his hometown is not only reflected in his poems, but also in the collection, research and publication of local literature. Yan Xingshu's banners in Xuzhou Museum are treasures collected and donated by later generations.
Boying pays attention to rural literature and collects it most frequently. The most praised is the publication of Xuzhou's sequel poems. As early as the late Qing Dynasty, the Governor of Xuzhou, Guangxi Bank of China, published Xuzhou Poetry. It is a pity that the book was written in a hurry. Zhang Boying began to compile in the late spring of 1929 and published in the late summer of 1935. After working hard for five years, I got sick and couldn't afford to lie on my sickbed.
Zhang Boying is not only a calligrapher, but also a learned scholar. He is good at poetry, which is fresh and elegant and profound in knowledge. The voluminous Annals of Heilongjiang was edited by Boying. 1929, Wan Fulin, the governor of Heilongjiang Province, was hired as the director of compiling local chronicles, and invited Zhang Congren, Xu Dongqiao, Yang and other Tongshan villagers to join hands with Heilongjiang people. The compilation of Vietnam's provincial chronicles in the past three years was unknown from ancient times to the late Qing Dynasty. The book has 62 volumes, about 6.5438+0.4 million words.
