In the Bian Zhuang Village Bian Ancestral Hall in Liu Miao Community, Danyang Street, there is a piece of Zhang Xingji and the Standing Office of shandong Futi Ministry, Hua Juan Sanpinwei in office, alternate Dao, and yu xian, the prefect of Caozhou Prefecture, who jointly erected a monument to rebuild the Bian Ancestral Hall, and in the home of Li Liwen of Shawo Community in Tenant Tun Street, there is a pair of Zhongtang couplets written by Zhang Xingji himself, although it is not very expensive, but the ink treasure left by Zhang Xingji is really very small.

Zhang Xingji (1852-1911) yichen, a native of Caozhou (now Zhanghuayuan Community, Danyang Office, Heze Development Zone). In 1882, Guangxu Renren (1882) was a scholar, and in the year of Chengshu (1886), he was appointed as a scholar of the Hanlin Academy. He was initially appointed as the editor of the Guansan Guan, the assistant editor of the National History Museum, and the chief editor of the History of the Successor State, and successively served as a Daoist in Guangxi Youjiang Province, Yunnan Province, and The Eastern Daoist.

Zhang Xingji was loyal to the country and was not afraid of foreign kou. In the 26th year of Guangxu (1900), the Eight-Nation Alliance captured Beijing, and Zhang Xingji was one of the main attachés who escorted Empress Dowager Cixi and the imperial court to Xi'an, Shaanxi. After returning to Beijing, he participated in the "Gengzi Agreement" signed between the Qing government and the great powers, did not fear foreign kou, and fought on the basis of reason, saving many interests for the Qing court. At the beginning of the Gengzi negotiations, he took the initiative to ask Prince Gong to participate in the main content negotiations, and adopted a strategy of checks and balances, so that the conspiracy of the great powers to annex China did not succeed. After the signing of the Gengzi Agreement, he faced the reality that China was being cannibalized by the great powers, and repeatedly appealed to the Guangxu Emperor and spoke out about the way to govern the country. When the Guangxu Emperor asked him about a way to save the situation, Zhang Xingji said: "The cardinal must use a righteous person, a righteous person enters, and all the righteous people advance, and state affairs can be done." "Was gladly accepted by the Guangxu Emperor."

(Zhang Xingji) Act impartially, just and justly. In the thirtieth year of Guangxu (1904), when he was serving as a Taoist in Guangxi Youjiang, when inspecting the taxes of the Wuzhou Customs Department, he found that the internal deficit was large, and he enforced the law impartially, confiscated 4,000 taels of fruit and silver, deposed the corrupt officials of the Guangxi Guiping Wuzhou YanfaDao, and maintained the law and order of the imperial court. He was rude to foreign merchants, a British mail ship loaded with smuggled opium, ready to land in China, was discovered by Zhang Xingji, and immediately sent someone to interrogate and seize it. The owner of the British ship brought huge silver to Zhang Mansion to pay bribes, but Zhang Xingji categorically refused. He also resisted the pressure exerted by the British consulate on the Chinese government to punish British mail ships with two large amounts of silver according to the provisions of the regulations.

(Zhang Xingji) refused to accept bribes and was honest and honest. In the thirty-first year of Guangxu (1905), when Zhang Xingji was serving in Yunnan Province, he handled a large number of suspected cases and punished a number of corrupt officials, which was praised by the local people, and the Guangxu Emperor rewarded him with an official title and a large amount of property, but Zhang Xingji did not accept it for his own use, but gave relief to the vast number of disaster victims. In the thirty-third year of Guangxu (1907), anti-Qing congregations in Ning'er, Simao and other places rioted on the frontier of the land of thousands of miles, threatening the safety of the Qing court. Zhang Xingji ordered his troops to lead the army to attack, he grabbed his tongue, explored the details, and with the momentum of lightning that could not cover his ears, defeated Huishouqu in one fell swoop, beheaded him to show the public, and ordered those who counterattacked Ge to have a reward, and within ten days, they dispersed the congregation, and the number of counter-Ge strikers reached more than 5,000. Zhang Xingji was commended by the Qing government. In the thirty-fourth year of Guangxu (1908), when Zhang Xingji was the host of Yunnan Province, he made up his mind to rectify the local poppy market, he repeatedly refused the huge silver bribes from large poppy households, and he would make a plan, taking the first two cash, finding out the location of the opium poppy planting, leading the army to cut down and burn the poppy that was still growing, and then sending the silver that he had received first to the poor people first, so that they could embark on the legitimate road of making a living. Magical use of soldiers, capture will be the head.

Zhang Xingji is knowledgeable and energetic. During his political career, he also wrote the "Collection of Shubin". In the third year of Xuan reunification (1911), he returned to his hometown and died in his hometown of Caozhou at the age of 59.
