What are Zhang Zongchang’s poems?

1. Visit Daming Lake

Daming Lake, Minghu Lake is big,

There are lotus flowers in Daming Lake.

There is a toad on the lotus.

It pokes and jumps.

2. Traveling to Mount Tai

Looking at Mount Tai from a distance, Mount Tai is dark.

It is thinner at the top and thicker at the bottom.

It’s like turning Mount Tai upside down.

The lower part is thinner and the upper part is thicker.

3. Visit Baotu Spring

Baotu Spring, Baotu Spring,

Three eyes are as thick as each other.

Three streams of water, light Gudu,

Gudu Gudu, light Gudu.

4. Laughing at Liu Bang

I heard that Xiang Yu was so powerful that he was so frightened that Liu Bang ran away.

It’s not my little Zhang Liang.

My grandma has already returned to Pei County.

5. I will also write a song about the wind

The cannons are firing and blasting his mother,

Weijiahai is returning to his hometown.

Numerous heroes come to Zhang Zongchang,

And the giant whale comes to swallow the fusang.

If Liu Bang saw this poem, he would probably be resigned to it!

Anecdotes and allusions

1. Like to be polite

Zhang Zongchang felt that since he was the father-in-law of Confucius and not polite, his trip to Shandong would be in vain . So, he learned skills from his master on the spot. After some hard training, Zhang Zongchang's skills improved greatly, and soon he published a collection of poems and distributed them to friends and colleagues. Over the past century, there have been many poets in China, but there are only a few poets like Zhang Zongchang who still have their poems circulated and are still remembered.

2. Folk Songs

The "Shandong Ballads" published by the Shandong Provincial People's Education Center in the 19th year of the Republic of China (1930) recorded many folk songs in which people from all over the world criticized Zhang Zongchang. The most famous one is a song from Guanxian County, Liaocheng: "There are also onions and garlic, and the supervisor Zhang is cooking in the pot; there are also onions and ginger, and Zhang Zongchang is cooking in the pot. Zhang Zongchang eats the meat first, and then drinks the soup." .
