Zhang Zongchang’s poem refers to the fact that in the literary world of the Republic of China, those ridiculous limericks were all written by Marshal Zhang.
One of the most widely circulated sentences is the following: "The cannons are firing and blasting his mother." What else is there, "Daming Lake, Minghu Lake is big, there are lotus flowers in Daming Lake." These funny yet elegant poems describe General Zhang Zongchang vividly. It can be said that these poems are a true portrayal of General Zhang Zongchang’s cultural connotation.
One of them is about real life: "Untitled": "If you ask me how many women there are, I don't know how many there are. Yesterday a child called me daddy, but I don't know who his mother is?"
< p>The above song "Untitled", which is about realistic life, writes a true portrayal of Zhang Zongchang's private life after he took office as the governor of Shandong Province. There is such a passage in the "Autobiography of Zhang Zongchang": "In order to encourage his subordinates to perform more military exploits on the battlefield, Zhang Zongchang gave them to his subordinates as rewards from his concubine and his wife." The song "Untitled" above just confirms this historical fact.Talk about the past and the present: "Laughing at Liu Bang" "I heard that Xiang Yu was so powerful that he was so scared that Liu Bang ran away. If it wasn't my little Zhang Liang, my grandma had already returned to Pei County." Just like this song As written in "Laughing at Liu Bang", Zhang Zongchang never cared about fighting during the warlord war in the Republic of China. All he cared about was escaping and grabbing territory.
Summary:
Zhang Zongchang was a notorious warlord during the Republic of China, but this warlord was not without merit. During his rule in Shandong, he founded Shandong University. The establishment completely changed the educational situation in Shandong in modern history. At the same time, he also vigorously developed industry and restored Shandong's economy. The reason why the scholar Zhang Zongchang is familiar to future generations is because he left a ridiculous literary and artistic career in the literary history of the Republic of China.
