Zhang Taiyan, a master of traditional Chinese studies, has made extremely high achievements in literature, history, and linguistics. As we all know, these masters in the Republic of China have their own personalities, and the same is true of Zhang Taiyan, who has cursed countless people in his life. From the imperial relatives to the state relatives, down to the celebrities, Zhang Taiyan has scolded, and the scolding is very high.
Look at how Zhang Taiyan cursed people. In the face of Yuan Shikai, Zhang Taiyan took the salary he had paid and scolded, "If Xiangcheng does not go, China will perish." Lu Xun recorded this scene, "Considering his life, he used a large medal as a fan, and when he came to the door of the presidential palace, he criticized Yuan Shikai for hiding evil intentions, and there was no second person in the world; seven were hunted down, three were imprisoned, and those who never bent their revolutionary aspirations were indomitable, and there was no second person in the world." This is the spirit of the sages and the model of the future generations. ”
Receiving such a high evaluation from Lu Xun, Zhang Taiyan has something extraordinary. Scolding Kang Youwei, Zhang Taiyan sent him a congratulatory life on his 70th birthday, "The country will die, and it is for the old to not die." At first glance, I thought it was praise for Kang Youwei, but in fact it was a scolding, and the congratulatory life was linked from the Book of Rites: When the kingdom is about to die, there will be demons. The lower link is from the Analects: Old and not dead is for thieves.
Zhang Taiyan also scolded Empress Dowager Cixi, and on the 70th birthday of the Empress Dowager, Zhang Taiyan also wrote a satirical shoulian, "Today to Nanyuan, tomorrow to Beihai, when to ancient Chang'an?" Sigh li min anointed all the blood, only for one person to sing and celebrate; fifty cut Ryukyu, sixty cut Taiwan, and now cut the three eastern provinces, painful chi county state yiyi, all long live the blessing of Xinjiang. ”
Scolding people is so level, Zhang Taiyan can be called the first person in modern times, and the nickname "Zhang Crazy" comes from this. However, Zhang Taiyan also had evil people who were afraid, and he did not dare to come out in front of this person. This person is Liang Dingfen. Liang Dingfen lost his official position in his early years by impeaching the powerful, and became a stubborn old-fashioned figure in his later years.
Liang Dingfen impeached Li Hongzhang and also exposed Yuan Shikai, saying that he was "a man of power and conspiracy, a deep obstruction by the city government, and a capable of trapping and employing people." Once, Zhang Taiyan wrote a "Treatise on PaiMan", and Liang Dingfen was furious when he saw it, "Liang Yuezhi was furious, calling for rebellion and rebellion, killing heads and killing heads, hundreds of times. Rushing to the governor's gate, please arrest Zhang Binglin, lock up the prisoner, and punish the crime according to the law. ”
In order to avoid being implicated, Zhang Zhidong only expelled Zhang Taiyan from Wuhan and did not want to send him to prison. Liang Dingfen was not happy, the purpose was not achieved, he could only drive Zhang Taiyan out of the newspaper hall, and all the clothes he carried with him could not be carried, and even let several car drivers put Zhang Taiyan on the buttocks.
Later, in some debate occasions, when everyone debated zhang Taiyan, they would shout loudly, "call Liang Dingfen to come", and as a result, Zhang Taiyan would often sweat.
