What kind of person was Zhang Yanghao in history?
I hope it helps you: Zhang Yanghao (1269-1329), Han nationality, the word Ximeng, Shandong Jinan people. No. Yunzhuang. He was a famous prose composer in the Yuan Dynasty. He excelled in both poetry and literature, and was famous for his prose compositions. His masterpieces include "Hillside Goat - Tongguan Huaigu" and so on. A heart for the people Zhang Yang Hao perched on the cloud village, do not seek prominence, traveling in the mountains and waters, convergence in the door of the rich and powerful, thinking that away from the world of dust and clamor, not with the court politics, but the Yuan dynasty court on this "learned and virtuous, renowned" (Ai Jun "Yunzhuang Huuju since the small Lefu citation") of the Confucian subjects, but when you want to take advantage of it, between eight years, where the six down imperial edict, he was lying down. And when the day calendar two years (1329) the court to "Guanzhong drought, starving people eat each other", called for the Shaanxi line of the Prime Minister to go to the disaster relief, but he disregarded the frailty of old age, then "scattered all of his family" boarded a car on the road, night and day to the office. "I am not ashamed, but I am not an official." ("Xifanjing") to make him go to the call is not the official title, but the seriousness of the disaster inspired him for the people of the spirit of commitment. On his way to Chang'an, he traveled through Luoyang, Mianchi, and Tongguan. On his way to Chang'an, he witnessed the tragic situation of the disaster victims and felt the ups and downs of the past generations. He wrote a number of nostalgic compositions with a bleak mood, lamenting the bleak prospects of the present dynasty and sympathizing y with the sufferings of the people. The most famous of them is the prose song "Shanpo Yang-Tongguan Huai Gu": "The peaks are like a gathering, the waves are like a fury, and the mountains and rivers are on the road of Tongguan Pass. Looking at the western capital, I am hesitant, sad about the Qin and Han Dynasties, and the palaces have all been turned into dirt. The rise, the people suffer; the death, the people suffer." After the arrival, "all so force people, everything is not used to" (Guisu "Zhang Wenzhong Gong Annals Preface"). Within four months, he was not at home, not sleep, and finally died of exhaustion. When the news spread, "the people of Guanzhong mourned as if they had lost their parents" (Yuan History). In the feudal era, there were not many officials like Zhang Yanghao who devoted himself to the people! The Yuan court's honoring of him was only to encourage loyalty and inspire his subordinates to be loyal to him, while the people distinguished between good and evil in their own eyes and showed their love and hatred. Zhang Yang Hao defended that system has become a historical monument, but the spirit of the people, and its sympathy for the people's suffering works, but with the Jinan mountains and rivers in the same, and will always be remembered.
