Ming Dynasty Jinshi (23) Zhang Ziyan: He served as a Guangdong Governor, and his grandson Zhang Biguan zhi Zaifu
Yu Dazhong
Zhang Ziyan, year of birth and death unknown. A native of Huguangshishou County (present-day Jingzhou, Hubei). In the fourth year of Tianshun (1460), there were twenty jinshi of the Third Rank.
There are few historical materials on Zhang Ziyan at hand, and there are documents that record that Zhang Ziyan served as a Guangdong cha you, and was an official who assisted the envoys and divided various affairs, and his rank was Zheng Wupin. There are also documents that record that Zhang Ziyan was once the chief of the Nanjing Punishment Department. Zhang Ziyan's other life deeds have yet to be collected and sorted out.
Zhang Ziyan's grandson, Zhang Bi, is well-known. Zhang Bi was promoted in the eighth year of Hongzhi (1495), a jinshi in the sixth year of Zhengde (1511), an official to the Rebbe Shangshu and a scholar of Dongge University, who participated in the military affairs of the imperial court during the Jiajing period, and was one of the famous "Three Pavilion Elders" of the Ming Dynasty. During the reign of Qing Shun, Yu Jiacai of Zhizhou, Guangxi, wrote in his passion for the history of Shishou, "Xiulin Jingxian": "Ancestors and grandsons of Jimei are not alone in Zhang Ziyan's family. "It's about Zhang Ziyan and Zhang Bi's grandchildren.
Poems related to Zhang Ziyan include "Sending Zhang Ziyan in the Mountains" by the famous scholar Yue Dai during the Jiajing and Longqing years: "Sitting alone on the empty mountain and thinking about the Five Tombs, the lilac flowers are in spring." In front of the lamp, I want to talk about life together, and the moon falls on the pine window to dream of the deceased. Shaanxi according to Fan Peng's "Xianyin Temple Banquet Farewell Zhang Ziyan Limit Words": "The temple gate is ethereal to Qingyun, and the bells in the clouds fall and smell." Daytime dragons are seen together, and green elk are in pairs at night. The temple opens the blue fog and thousands of peaks are wet, and the window hangs fragrant springs alone. Mingfa Chang'an more than ten thousand miles, falling flowers and wine to stay for the time being. As well as Yuzhou Zhizhou Wang Tingchen's "Four Songs of Don't Zhang Ziyan", there are many of them, but I have not yet consulted Zhang Ziyan's own poems, which is very regrettable.
