Chapter 88 Endorsement-Jiang Zhongyuan sent the coffin, Zeng Guofan made the elegiac couplet

Zeng Guofan loves to write elegiac couplets, so much so that he saves the living.The living are taboo to die, so he secretly writes.One year during the Spring Festival, my good friend Tang Peng came to Zeng's mansion to pay New Year's greetings. He went into the study to chat and saw a few sheets of paper under the inkstone. He thought it was a new poem, so he wanted to take a look. show.Tang Qian came over, it turned out that more than a dozen of Zeng's friends, including himself, had been "respected" by Zeng for their elegiac couplet drafts one by one.Tang was furious, brushed off his clothes and left, breaking off the relationship since then.And Jiang Zhongyuan is devoted to friendship, and if a friend died in the capital, he must find a way to send his friend's body back home.At that time, people matched the whereabouts of the two people, saying that "Jiang Zhongyuan sent the coffin, and Zeng Guofan made the couplet".

Zuo Zongtang appealed to Zeng Guofan: "To seek the loyalty of the country and to know the wisdom of others, I am ashamed to be inferior to Yuan Fu; if one heart is like gold, and if one is wrong, one is like a stone, and you will never lose your life." Li Hongzhang appealed to Zeng Guofan: "I have been a teacher for nearly 30 years, and my salary has been exhausted, and I have built a house and grown up as a family; my reputation has spread ninety thousand miles, and I am safe inside and outside. It is rare to find a talent in the world in a long time." Zuo Zongtang wrote a couplet for Tao Shu: "Chun Dian speaks calmly, the home mountain of twenty years, and the seal stone is there; the river flows day and night, and the children of Bazhou are eager to return."

Zheng Xiaoxu recalled Zhang Xun: "If I know the public early, there is no way to save the defeat; it's like singing a righteous song, sitting like a mulberry sun." When Zhang Xun died, Wang Yuchen said: "There are only two people in Jiangxi: Unfortunately, Li Liejun was defeated! It is even more unfortunate that the commander-in-chief died! What happened? I want to ask a question: Is it better to live in the Republic of China? What? I’m afraid it’s hard to say, right?” Zhao Erxun was well-known in the Qing Dynasty. After the national change, he became the president of the compilation of "Drafts of Qing History", and began to look at the current situation from the perspective of a historian.When Zhang Xun died, he wrote an elegiac couplet: "The success or failure of a hero is eternal, and the friendship between teachers and friends will last for nine years."

Zhang Taiyan appealed to Sun Yat-sen: "Sun Lang made the world divided into three parts. When Wei De was young, Jiang Biao never forgot to attack Xu? The southern country is an old thing of my family, and the resentful spiritual cultivator is mighty, and Wuguan joined Qin for no reason!" Yang Du persuaded Sun Yat-sen: "There is no one else for a hero to do things. He only perseveres and can be the whole world. Since ancient times, there have been a few successes, but he is full of scars, half crying for the common people and half crying for the father." Chen Jiongming appealed to Sun Yat-sen: "Only a hero can live and kill, and his meritorious deeds and crimes have their own history for thousands of years; we have fought with old friends once and for all, and public hatred and personal friendship are all known with an inch of heart."

Zhang Taiyan appealed to Sun Yat-sen: "If the whole country were to destroy the Soviet Union, it would not be as good as Chen Duxiu when it was red; if the whole dynasty was righteous, Biyun should succeed Wei Zhongxian." Li Dazhao appealed to Sun Yat-sen: "Guangdong is a region where modern thoughts converge. From the Ming Dynasty to the present, the relics of the Han species, the common cities of foreign countries, and even the rise of the Taiping, all species were born and flourished in Si Township. The middle stream of the revolution, inheriting the past, purifying the new and discarding the old, promoting the righteousness of the nation, will definitely remake the world. For more than forty years, I have devoted myself to swearing that the sky is bright and the sun is full of red flags, arousing the spirit of freedom and independence. Righteousness; China is where the powers of the world compete, from Thailand and the West to Japan, political plunder, economic aggression, and even condominium conspiracy, scrambling for slaves and horses, our party is suitable for this meeting, losing our founding of the country, the clouds are miserable, The earth is gloomy and the sky is sad, I ask who will succeed, resolutely regroup, there are billions of trillions, but workers and farmers must be based on the three people and five powers, work together, follow the legacy of sacrifice and struggle, and accomplish a great cause to comfort the heroes."

After Chen Jiongming's death, Wu Zhihui wrote a couplet saying: "There is nothing good in one's body, and the history has been passed down, which shows that heroes are valuable; the letter of repentance requested ten years ago was delivered by Huangquan, and the juniors and brothers are invited as before." Zhu Zhixin was unfortunately killed, and Sun Yat-sen was extremely sad when he heard the news, "It was like losing his left and right hands."Chen Duxiu praised in the elegiac couplet: "If you lose a piece of faith, you can gain a piece of Guangdong. The loss is not worth the loss; life is respected by people, death is thought of by people, and death is like life."

Yu Youren wrote Chen Qimei's poem: "Ten years of hard work and gallbladder have left me to die, and I have fought a hundred battles to mourn the country. The domineering Jiangdong has been scattered for a long time, and the hero's cause is dignified." On October 31, 1916, Huang Xing died of illness in Shanghai. Cai E received the bad news in Japan and wrote an elegiac couplet saying: "The one who founded the country with courage, but maintained the body peacefully, and implemented it, is able to create a lifetime; once sent me to the sea, suddenly Weeping at the end of the world, startled and weeping, it's hard for a sick Kyushu person."

Liang Qichao lamented Kang Youwei's couplet: "I wish Zong prayed for his death, his eyes will be dry for a long time, and there will be a limit to his life, so that he will not see the rotten fish in the world; he hunted Lin in the west, and his words were cut off. He was afraid that the sky would die, not only moving My party's sorrow for the decay of the mountains and trees."
