Zhang Bozhen's life

It took me a long time to find out the origin of this ancestral temple. It turns out that this is the clan ancestral hall of Zhang Bozhen. Today, Zhang Bozhen's ancestral home in Ruocun, the birthplace of Zhang Bozhen, has long gone up in smoke, leaving only such an ancestral hall. The construction area of Defoe Zhanggong Temple is about 228 square meters. There are two mighty stone lions squatting at the door, light gray walls and indigo tile roofs. The reddish ancestral hall door is a little painted off, and a black plaque with the words "Defoe Zhanggong Temple" is prominently hung on the beam of the ancestral hall. The stone carvings on the roof of the ancestral hall are still clearly visible. The ancestral temple is a three-room binary building with a courtyard in the middle and corridors on both sides. On the walls and pillars of the ancestral temple, the propaganda slogans written by the People's Liberation Army when it was stationed here on the eve of liberation are still preserved. Defoe Zhanggong Temple and Duxiang Pavilion are integrated into one, and become a building group with certain historical and ancient building research value. In 2004, it was announced as the eighth batch of municipal cultural relics protection units in Dongguan. 1902, Zhang Bozhen is 25 years old and graduated from Guangzhou. Liu Deheng, the magistrate of Dongguan, presided over the establishment of Dongguan School, and Zhang Bozhen was employed as a Chinese teacher.

1904, he resigned from Dongguan Middle School. 1905, 1 year went to study in Japan, entered the second class of the crash course of Hosei University in Japan, completed his studies from 1909, took the graduation examination of Japan Institute of Advanced Studies, and won the fifth place.

Zhang Bozhen was one of the first students to study in Japan. The progress of Meiji Restoration in Japan brought dawn to China intellectuals. Zhang Bozhen resolutely went to Japan to study twice, hoping that the motherland would embark on the road of becoming a powerful country in science and technology in Qiang Bing.

During studying in Japan, the early revolutionaries headed by Dr. Sun Yat-sen carried out revolutionary activities overseas. There are many revolutionaries among the students studying in Japan. Zhang Bozhen made friends with these revolutionaries. At that time, the Japanese authorities made things difficult for Japanese students studying in China. Zhang Bozhen participated in the "Strike Movement for Students Studying in China" initiated by Chen Tianhua, Zou Rong, Qiu Jin and others, and opposed the admission regulations formulated by the Japanese government specifically to discriminate against China students. Chen Tianhua committed suicide by jumping into the sea during the strike in protest. Zhang Bozhen wrote "The whole story of students studying in Japan for two years in Guangxu". Zhang Bozhen has extensive contacts with revolutionaries, some of whom are directly involved and familiar with the inside story. Therefore, he wrote Historical Materials of the League Revolution, Historical Materials of the Huaxing Society Revolution, Historical Materials of the Xingzhonghui Revolution, Historical Materials of the Zongshe Party and Historical Materials of the Soviet Case, all of which have high historical value.

1908 After returning to China in the summer vacation, Zhang Bozhen was employed as a professor in Guangdong and Guangxi Dialect School, teaching law at the age of only 3 1. Guangdong Academy was founded in 1906, which was formed by the merger of Guangdong Preparatory Academy and Guangzhou Translation Academy by Cen Chunxuan, Governor of Guangdong and Guangxi. It was a relatively complete institution for learning foreign languages in the late Qing Dynasty. 19 10 went to Beijing to attend the listening test, and was appointed as the official of Qipin Beijing, and served as the director of the Department of Geological Survey of the Ministry of Justice. At that time, he participated in the drafting of the draft constitution by the Constitutional Preparatory Office and served as the deputy chief manuscript. Since then, the government of the Republic of China has been established, and Tang, then Premier of the State Council, went to Beijing to work. When the new Ministry of Justice was established, everything was handled by Zhang Bozhen and Qi Yaochuan. From the first year of the Republic of China until he moved to Nanjing in 17, among the judicial personnel in 108, Zhang Bozhen was always the head of the first section of the prison department of the Ministry of Justice. 1928. When the government of the Republic of China moved to Nanjing, Zhang Bozhen resolutely resigned from all his posts. After that, he retired to Beijing and devoted himself to the collection, research and compilation of literature and history materials. He is the author of Legacy of Zhang Ruoxi, Complete Works of Mr. Nanhai, Biography of Mr. Nanhai Kang, Evergreen Grass, Notes on Ruoxi, etc. He published one to five series of The Sea Series, and extensively collected Yuan Chonghuan and other literary historical materials, including Yuan Yi Ji and Yuan Ji.

In his later years, Zhang Bozhen fled into Buddhism, believed in Buddhism, and sent his feelings to Buddhist scriptures. In 1946, Zhang Bozhen died of illness in Beijing. Before his death, he donated more than 300 pieces of calligraphy and painting by famous people such as Kang Youwei and Liang Qichao, as well as cultural relics such as Inspector Yuan and Qi Baishi.

Zhang Bozhen has lived in Dongguan for less than 30 years. Zhang Boling lived in Beijing from 19 13 to his death. Today, the south side of beijing amusement park used to be Zhang Bozhen's residence in Beijing. 19 19, Zhang Bozhen bought several acres of land and built several houses and private gardens here. At that time, it was called "Bird" and there was a "Yuan Chonghuan's former residence" in the park. According to legend, during the Chongzhen period, Yuan Chonghuan was stationed here when he led an army to fight against the Qing Dynasty. Here, Zhang Bozhen gathered Kang Youwei, Qi Baishi and Zhang He to pay tribute to the portrait of Yuan Chonghuan in the park, and planted pine trees in memory of the martyrs, leaving a large number of impromptu paintings and inscriptions by celebrities. At present, the stone carving of Yuan Chonghuan's legacy "Listening to the Rain" on the inner wall of the Yuan Du Poetry Temple in Longtan Park was moved from Bird through 1949. Qi Baishi once lived here for a long time, leaving a large number of celebrity impromptu paintings and inscriptions here. In 199 1 year, Bird was completely demolished. The world will never see its charm again.

1948 during the battle of Ping Jin, the Kuomintang garrison was stationed in Bird, and the buildings, flowers, trees and cultural relics in the park were destroyed. 1958, Zhang Cixi, the son of Zhang Bozhen, donated Zhang Garden, which covers an area of about 2.5 mu and houses 14, to Beijing Longtan Botanical Garden. 199 1 year, Bird was completely demolished because it was within the scope of construction land.
