Historical celebrities in Wuyang Village, Shenan
Sima Madness/Text
People who know me well know that my mother is from Wuyang Village, Nanxiang, Shexian County. In the village of Wuyang, there is first the surname of Liu, and then the surname of Zhang. Among the people of the Zhang clan, there is a common saying that "the Liu family flows away, and the Zhang family pretends to live" (if you read it in shenan dialect, you will find that the Zhang family is in the middle, and Zhang and Zhang are actually pronounced the same). In general, the surname Zhang is in the lower class, and the surname Liu is in the upper reaches.
Tracing the history of Wuyang Village, it is clearly recorded that the Surname Zhang began when Zhang Yingzhou built a villa. However, there is no historical record of when the Surname Liu came before that and when it migrated away. At the end of the last century, there were eighteen-legged porcelain stones from the early Tang Dynasty unearthed in Wuyang, which is enough to prove that Wuyang had ancestors living in the early Tang Dynasty, and whether it was a member of the Liu clan is unknown. As for the origin of the name of Wuyang Village, I did find a meaningful phenomenon. Liu Bowen's hometown, formerly known as Wuyang, was later renamed "Wuyang". So will Wuyang also be the surname of Liu, after entering, first use "Wuyang", and then change to "Wuyang"? And when I have a chance, I will go to Liu Bowen's hometown to find out.
I wrote these two paragraphs earlier, just to say that Wuyang Village has a long history, and it is reasonable to say that there should be many historical celebrities. But unfortunately, there are very few ancient celebrities in the true sense of Wuyang. Before Cheng Jian asked me to write about the celebrities in Wuyang, it took a lot of effort during that time to write 7 celebrities, basically concentrated in the Republic of China period. The stories of these characters are basically able to query relevant historical materials, or they can be directly asked about posterity. Many characters have been mentioned in the "Chronicle of Shexian County", but there are obvious flaws, and I have revised them together. This article is a collection of small biographies of these seven characters, interested people, you can add relevant information, thank you here.

In the first year of Xuantong (1909), a major flood occurred in Hubei, and Zhang Youshen, who was in Dongying, took the lead in donating money to relieve the flood in Hubei, so the Qing government gave him the status of a man. In the same year, the Tongyi (Chinese Merchants) Joint Venture was established in Kawaguchi-cho, Osaka, mainly engaged in maritime transport business. In the second year of Xuan reunification (1910), he was elected as the Osaka Chamber of Commerce. While running his own maritime business, Zhang Youshen was deeply impressed by the revolutionary cause of the League and actively funded Sun Yat-sen. On New Year's Day 1912, Sun Yat-sen invited Zhang Youshen to attend the founding ceremony of the Republic of China. He was also awarded the Order of Jiahe, Second Class.
In 1913, after Song Jiaoren reorganized the Kuomintang, Zhang Youshen was elected as the head of the Osaka Kuomintang branch. On March 11 of that year, he came forward to receive Sun Yat-sen and his party who were visiting Osaka. From 1909 he was the vice president of the Osaka Chinese Chamber of Commerce, and from 1913 to 1927, he was the president of the Osaka Chinese Chamber of Commerce. In July 1920, Zhang Youshen was deeply influenced by the idea of "industry to save the country" and invested in Wuhu Dachang Match Co., Ltd., founded by Wu Xingzhou, a fellow villager in Huizhou, which was the second match enterprise in Anhui.
In June 1924, Zhang Youshen, then president of the Osaka Chung-Rak Shu Shu Newspaper, gave a speech on current affairs at the Kobe Asian League to protest the United States' rejection of Asian immigrants. The following year, he was appointed as a national investigator by the Japanese government, and in the same year, he acted as an agent for the Osaka Chinese merchants insurance business for the Kobe Marine Fire Insurance Company. In 1931, the manager of the Kobe branch of Tongyi Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Zhang Youshen, absconded back to China with money, causing Zhang Youshen's Kobe branch to be forced to close its doors and withdraw from the insurance industry. In 1945, Jang's residence in the Osaka Kawaguchi-cho Sho was reduced to ashes by an American air raid. In 1946, Zhang Youshen died.

Zhang Derong (1820-1888), zishi kuan, songping, ancestral home of Wuyang. When his great-grandfather Zhang Hongzi was in power, he first moved to Quzhou, Zhejiang Province, and donated money to get a regular tribute. His grandfather, Zhang Wenshi, was the official and political secretary of the government, and was in charge of the criminal name lawsuit. Father Zhang Shijun, Guozi Jiantai student. Zhang Derong Xianfeng was a jinshi in the third year, and was appointed as a Shu Jishi of Hanlin Academy, and later remained in Hanlin Academy, serving as the editor of Hanlin Academy. After that, he successively served as a military aircraft Zhang Jing and Bingbu Lang of the Military Aircraft Department. In the eleventh year of Tongzhi (1872), he served as the prefect of Yuezhou in Hunan, and in the fifth year of Guangxu (1879), he again served as the prefect of Yuezhou.
Zhang Derong twice served as the prefect of Yuezhou. Twice, the famous Yueyang Tower was repaired. As the first prefect of Yuezhou, Zhang Derong mainly strengthened the foundation of the Yueyang Tower, and rebuilt the Yueyang Lou Chenhan Pavilion, and wrote the "Record of Rebuilding the Yueyang Lou Chenhan Pavilion". By the time Zhang Derong became the governor of Yuezhou for the second time, Yueyang Lou was already in a great state of collapse, so Zhang Derong resolutely allocated tea taxes and persuaded Yueyang Siyi to donate money to overhaul Yueyang Lou. This time, the overhaul of Yueyang Tower completely solved the flood that affected Yueyang Tower, and formed the momentum of "the north and south of the Great Lake, with Si Lou as the male". At that time, the famous minister Weng Tonggong once commented that "Yueyang Taishouxian Doctor, the official talent poetry pen is not available today", it can be said that Zhang Derong is one of the biggest heroes in the history of Yueyang Lou.
At the same time as his political achievements, Zhang Derong also made great achievements in epigraphy, and his collection of Song Dynasty Tuoben "Ode to the Stone Gate" was amazed by the world. In 1872, during his tenure in Yuezhou, Zhang Derong completed the sixteen volumes of his book "Jin Shi Ju" (金石聚) in "The Time of Raising Troubles in Caotang" and finished it. Because his name is "Erming Caotang", the book is named "Erming Caotang Jinshi Ju". The preface to this book is Pan Zengying, the left attendant of the Ministry of Works, Lu Zengxiang of the Zhuangyuan Gong, and The author of the text is Pan Zuyin, all three of whom are the masters of historiography and epigraphy.
(According to Zhang Derong, the Chronicle of Shexian county was mistakenly referred to as the prefect of Jingzhou, but it was actually the prefect of Yuezhou.) According to the original record of 205 pages in the 18 volumes of the "Qing Dynasty Zhu Scroll Integration", there are originally from Shexian County, Anhui. According to the "Ming and Qing Dynasty Chronicle of Inscriptions" and the "Xianfeng Three-Year Examination Of the Same Year Tooth Record", it can be seen that his great-grandfather Hongzi first moved to Quzhou. Combined with other relevant historical materials, it is inferred that he is a descendant of the Zhang clan of Wuyang. The above historical materials are provided by Dr. Wang Hongchun of Shexian Museum)

A cymbal spun up rapidly, from the fingertip to the arm, all the way to all parts of the body, cymbals as usual rapidly rotated, the action in one go, often the audience has erupted into thunderous applause. One of the most difficult places is that the copper cymbals fly out of their hands, the double cymbals are thrown up, the volleys are hit, the crisp cymbals collide to make a pleasant sound, and they can be properly connected to the hands; the copper cymbals rotate, kick on the side of one leg, people turn over the tendons to take the first step, stand firmly, and quickly close the cymbals into their arms, and the copper cymbals rotate non-stop. Both hands sucked a cymbal, flying up and down, and the cymbals turned on their own, but they could not break free of the control of the palm of their hands.

Zhang Maoxun Shanghai Shangshang Jia Old mansion remains
Zhang Maoxun (1899-1964), who left his hometown for Shanghai in the early years, started as an apprentice, worked hard for many years, and later became an industry operated by Hui merchants such as matches, lacquer, tea, silk on the beach, and a commercial tycoon with unified deployment, (unified deployment is also the prototype of the modern express delivery industry in the same city). After Zhang Maoxun's departure, he did not forget his hometown and spent a lot of money to build The Wuyang River Dam, River Embankment, and Road. And in Wuyang Shangcun built a Sino-Japanese combination of houses - Aiwulu, this house is still intact, is the most direct witness to the prosperity of Wuyang Village in that year.
Zhang Mao had four sons, one of whom was an underground member of the Communist Party, who was killed by the Kuomintang on the eve of the liberation of Shanghai. Another son, Zhang Benkui, graduated from Zhejiang University in 1953 majoring in mechanical manufacturing, taught at Tsinghua University, and later became one of the founders of Beijing Petroleum Institute (now China University of Petroleum), and in 1959, in response to the call of the state, he was transferred to Sichuan Petroleum Institute (now Southwest Petroleum University) and became one of the founders of Southwest Petroleum University.

Zhang Dashui saved lives and helped the injured ze was in the township
Zhang Dashui (1918-1972), also known as Zhang Daxuan, first ran a tea shop in Fuyang, Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, and later a drug store. At that time, the plague was rampant, zhang Dashui created a special medicine with Chinese herbal medicine, and there were countless living people, known as the "king of salvation medicine". Later, Zhang Dashui funded the opening of the "Huizhou Guild Hall" in Fuyang, and all Huizhou compatriots can stay for free. Zhang Dashui, who was successful in business in Fuyang, returned to Wuyang and single-handedly funded the casting of the iron bridge chain of the Wuyang Xiamen Bridge, which was thick with a bowl mouth and weighed more than 2 tons, so as to prevent the Xiamen Bridge from being swept away by turbulent water. It is paved with bluestone slabs for miles from Wuyang Xiamen Bridge to Huba Temple. In another year of the Republic of China, flash floods broke out in the Xin'an River Basin, and the water was gushing, and people along the river were displaced. Zhang Dashui, where Fuyang is located, is located in the lower reaches of the Xin'an River, and after hearing about this, he organized local people to salvage a supply of materials that had been washed down by the flood in the Huizhou area, and then hired a cargo ship to transport it back to the Zhengkou Wharf, and let the Huizhou villagers get back what belonged to themselves free of charge. So far, people of the older generation in Dazhouyuan have always admired Zhang Dashui when it comes to this matter. Zhang Dashui's former residence in Wuyang Xia Village, typical of the Republic of China Hui school architectural style, the door cover has a scroll-like stone carving, on the book "Only Wu Dexin", its virtue is enough to match.

Later, Cheng Delin purchased cloth and other fashionable items from Shanghai, Hangzhou and other places to sell to his hometown in Shexian County, and opened a shop on Shendu Street, and it is said that the shops in Shendu Banjie Street are under Cheng Delin's name. Cheng Delin has had a smooth journey, and his wealth has accumulated more and more, and the world calls him "the richest man in the continent".
Cheng Delin, who was on the rich side, returned to Wuyang to buy an industry after his career was successful, like most Hui merchants. Around 1937, Cheng Delin's "mansion" was completed in Wuyang. His house, with "palatial" to describe it is not exaggerated, brick carving, stone carving, wood carving is beautiful, bluestone paved courtyard floor, around the courtyard a circle of polished bluestone benches, all highlight the high aesthetic taste of Cheng Delin. After liberation, the site of the Wuyang Brigade was located here.
Although Cheng Delin is rich, he is frugal, kind and amiable, and has no snobbish eyes of a businessman, because he is a man, and the villagers of Wuyang call him "Brother Delin".
