The above article lists the buildings of the "Eighteen Gentlemen's Ancestral Hall" built in the 29th year of Zhang Qiang Daoguang (1849) one by one, but the "Ancestral Hall" is not mentioned. "Xingyi Mansion Chronicles" recorded: "The right of Xiangtang, the establishment of the prefect Zhang Qiangsheng Temple for the county people", the title: "Learn the Tao and love people", Lianyun: "Raise the memory of deep grace, Qingjian Danshu, two listen to the real song; The fragrance rewards Shengde, Huang Tong Baisuo, each with a conscience. The so-called "ancestral hall" is an ancestral hall built for the living. The reason not mentioned above is that Zhang Qisheng Ancestral Hall and Mr. Eighteen Ancestral Hall have little to do with each other. In fact, Zhang Qiang himself was also aware of this problem, so he "ordered the removal of his chestnut master." The title was changed and said: I also love my house. "Why change?" "Learning to love others" refers to a gentleman using etiquette and music to care for his people. "I also love my house" means that I have received it, and this house is a cottage, and I still like it. Zhang Qiang also ordered people to remove his tablet, and he also thought that the ancestral hall was inappropriate. It is worth noting that the Xingyi Mansion Trial Institute is divided into three districts: east, middle and west, the west area is north, and Zhang Qiang built a living shrine for Emperor Daoguang, called the imperial palace. To the north of this eastern area is the Eighteen Mr. Ancestral Hall, and there is a Zhang Qiang's own ancestral hall in the ancestral hall, which is indeed suspected of overstepping.
Not during life, but after death, it can, but there are regulations, such as "less than 30 years after death" can not be built. The people of Anlong had called for the construction of Zhang Qiang's ancestral hall before, but the final construction time was the 30th year of Guangxu (1904), that is, 48 years after Zhang Qiang's death. It was initiated by Zhang Qi's students Song Jie (Yunnan Supplementary State Judge) and Liu Chaoding (candidate for Zhili Prefecture Judge) to donate silver, which took three years to complete at the original site. The ancestral hall sits south to north, by the front hall, the two compartments and the main hall form a quadrangle, and the ancestral hall erects a bluestone tablet in front of it. The monument is tall and majestic, with a square head, 2.8 meters high, 1.55 meters wide and 0.17 meters thick. The two sides and the upper part of the stele are carved with cloud dragon patterns, which are lifelike. The text has a total of more than 3,000 words, praising Zhang Qi's life and important deeds, like a historical masterpiece.
Zhang Qiang's bereaved monument
Zhang Qi, the word right, and the word Chuntan. Qianlong was born in the 58th year of Qianlong (1793) in Bijiatang, Nanpi County, Zhili (now Hebei Province), his biological mother Wang died at the age of 3, and his biological father Zhang Tingchen died at the age of 11. In the eighteenth year of Jiaqing (1813), Zhang Qishun Tianfu Township was successful, and he failed to pass several examinations after that. In the sixth year of Daoguang (1826), he entered Guizhou with a large pick, went to Anhua County (Tongren Sinan) and was transferred to Yunnan to buy copper by Songpu, the governor of Guizhou. In the eighth year of Daoguang (1828), Zhang Qiang married Zhu Biyun, the daughter of Zhu Shaoen, the governor of Zhili Prefecture, Qiongzhou, Sichuan. In the ninth year of Daoguang (1829), he acted as the magistrate of Qingping (Kaili). In the tenth year of Daoguang (1830), the acting Weining Zhizhou, the eldest son Zhang Zhiyu was born. In the thirteenth year of Daoguang (1833), he was appointed as the magistrate of Guizhu (Guiyang). In the fourteenth year of Daoguang (1834), the second son Zhang Zhiqing was born. In the fifteenth year of Daoguang (1835), the third son Zhang Zhiyuan was born. In the sixteenth year of Daoguang (1836), he was appointed as the governor of Guzhou (Rongjiang) in Liping Prefecture. In the seventeenth year of Daoguang (1837), the fourth son, Zhang Zhidong, was born. In the eighteenth year of Daoguang (1838), he acted as the prefect of Liping. In the nineteenth year of Daoguang (1839), he acted as the prefect of Zunyi, and returned to Guzhou in the same year. In the twentieth year of Daoguang (1840), he acted as the prefect of Anshun. In the twenty-first year of Daoguang (1841), he acted as the prefect of Xingyi, and Zhang Zhidong followed his father to Anlong at the age of 4. In the twenty-second year of Daoguang (1842), Xiuxing Yifu Trial Hospital, due to the death of his stepmother Su, he resigned at the end of the year. In the twenty-sixth year of Daoguang (1846), Ding Weiman returned to Anlong to confer the prefect. In the twenty-eighth year of Daoguang, he repaired the embankment and the mid-mountain pavilion. In the twenty-ninth year of Daoguang (1849), the temple of Mr. Eighteen was repaired, and Zou Hanxun and Zhu Fengjia were invited to the mansion to edit and revise the "Xingyi Mansion Chronicles". In the second year of Xianfeng (1852), Zhang Zhidong tried to solve the Yuan in Shuntianfu Township, and Zhang Qiang made "The Story of Zhiguixuan" and "The Story of Other Mountain Towers" to celebrate. In the fourth year of Xianfeng (1854), he repaired the cultivation pavilion of Zhaodi Province and completed the "Xingyi Mansion Chronicle". In the fifth year of Xianfeng (1855), he acted as an agent of Guidong Dao (Zhenyuan) Daotai. In the sixth year of Xianfeng (1856), he failed to reach Zhenyuan and died of illness in the army at the age of 63.
The first inscription of the inscription is "Gift to the Taifu Siqing, promoted to Guizhou Alternate Dao, Gui Dongdao, formerly the prefect of Xingyi Mansion, Nanpi Zhang Gong's bereaved ancestral inscription." Therefore, this ancestral hall is also called "Zhang Gong's Ancestral Hall". It is more puzzling that the imperial court gave Zhang Qiang the title of "Taifu Siqing", which is probably equivalent to the Qing Dynasty's Minister of Transportation, a few years after Zhang Qiang's death, his direct subordinate fellow villager, Han Chao, then governor of Guizhou, played Zhang Qiang's deeds to the imperial court and gave him this title, but it feels that it has little to do with Zhang Qiang's deeds. In the inscription, Song Jie briefly described Zhang Qiang's deeds as an official in Xingyi Mansion for 13 years: "One is honest, two are good at hearing lawsuits, three are good at fighting thieves, four are righteous cangs, and five are in Xing Academy." "Honesty" means to be honest and honest for officials. "Being good at hearing lawsuits" means actively accepting lawsuits and examining cases. "Cracking down on thieves" means preventing and controlling thieves, cracking down on crime, and maintaining social stability. "Yicang" is to grasp agricultural production and guard against famine. "Xing Academy" is to grasp education and strengthen talents.
"Zhang Gong's Monument of Love" dragon pattern
The inscription uses a great deal of space to describe Zhang Qi's pacification of Zunyi's "Yang Feng advocating rebellion". In August of the fourth year of Xianfeng (1854), Yang Feng, the leader of the peasant uprising, appointed himself as the "Generalissimo of the Governor", with the name of "opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty" and "Anmin free of grain", he launched an uprising from Tongzi Jiuba Field, the righteous army grew rapidly, attacked the city, and his troops captured Xingyifu Xincheng (Xingren), Pu'an and other places, and attacked Xingyifu City Anlong. Most of the soldiers of the Shifu were transferred to Zunyi, and the city air defense was empty. The inscription records Zhang Qiang, "the public led the people to defend the city, commanded the family to prepare fire, and swore to die to die", and also remembered: "The north gate is the most rushed, and the public body deserves it". According to the inscription, the young Zhang Zhidong should be a member of the family and also fight in the city with his father. Describing Zhang Qiang's composure, he said: "The thieves attacked hard for three days and nights, and the artillery fire reached the official clothes", Zhang Qiang "sat on the side and did not move", and did not move. Not only that, Zhang Qiang "broke out of the city, summoned the militia, and gathered tens of thousands of people in three days", captured the thieves "Ran Bingcheng, Tu Lingheng, beheaded", and the government governed "Xiping in all counties". In the following year (1855), Zhang Qiang transferred "3,000 militiamen, crossed the Huajiang River, and crossed the border to meet the attack at Guansuoling". Zhang Qiang had meritorious service in suppressing thieves, and in the same year, he was promoted to Guidongdao and left Anlong, "supervising the military affairs of the lower reaches of Guizhou", but "only 5,000 new recruits", and on the way to "Longli, Guiding, Pingyue (Fuquan), Weng'an" area, and fought hard with the rebel army, when Zhang Qiang "garrisoned in the mountains, the rain and wet wind were strong, and he was indignant, and he could not afford it" and died, "there are four out of sixty in the Spring and Autumn Period (calculated according to the ancient imaginary years), and it is more than a year away from the county (Anlong) side."
Extension of "Zhang Gong's Monument of Love"
The author of the inscription, Song Jie, is a native of Anlong, Xianfeng four years (1854) had followed Zhang Qiang to defend the city, and during the Tongzhi period, he was sentenced to Yunnan Prefecture for suppressing the Xiantong uprising. At the end of Zhang Zhidong's tenure as the governor of Huguang, he was invited to go out of the mountain, but he was politely refused at the age of eighty-one. After Song Jie's death, Zhang Zhidong couplet: "Han Shang feels the vicissitudes of life, and when he hears poems and talks about the court; Qianzhou dark beam moon, into a dream should come to the death of the soul of friends". Song Jie's son Song Shaoxi died with his father, and Zhang Zhidong was supported to supplement Hubei Zhixian. In addition, according to the record of "Nanlong Continuation Chronicle", after Song Jie repaired Zhang Qiang's ancestral hall, Zhang Zhidong also mailed a portrait of his father Zhang Qiang from Wuchang to the ancestral hall. It's a pity that this portrait has been lost, so Zhang Qi's appearance is still unknown. However, on the occasion of the "5.18 International Museum Day", the Qianxinan Prefecture Museum will hold a "self-portrait of burning chaff, adding lights and cheering - the history and culture exhibition of the young Zhang Zhidong and Anlong", although there is no portrait of Zhang Qiang in the exhibition, but the audience can take a look at the tall and majestic "Zhang Gong's Monument of Love" rubbing.
