Not to mention, Guo Liyang's introduction made Zhang Junyi's saliva overflow.

When politics was about to be served, Zhang Junyi listened to it with a lot of saliva, and he didn't say anything, Guo Liyang's words just now made Zhang Junyi's expectations for the roast duck in the cheap shop skyrocket by several levels in an instant.

Like the boss Guo Lizhao and Guo Liyang sitting opposite, Zhang Junyi is actually a master of food in essence, so the next two of them push the cup and change the lamp, and they are so unhappy to eat.

"Brother Yang, I have always heard that there are four young people in Yanjing, and together they are called the four young men of Yanjing, tell me about them!" Zhang Junyi just clinked glasses with Guo Liyang and took a sip of Moutai, and asked curiously about some rumors reported on the Internet in his previous life.

"I didn't expect my brother to be interested in these gossip news, I thought you and my cousin had such a deep friendship and were not interested in these idle things, but it is not difficult for your brother to know these things, but you have to tell me first why there is no so-called six young and eight young in such a large territory as Yanjing, and there is only one four young and eight young people, if your brother can say it, I will tell you about the so-called Yanjing four young people. Guo Liyang is actually a little temperamental with Zhang Junyi now, and he asks playfully.

"Brother Yang, don't take the school exam, I really know a little bit about why this is named after 'four', in our traditional Chinese culture, it has been good to talk about things with "four" since ancient times.

For example, the earliest poems are four words, the earliest words are mostly four words and one sentence, five words and seven words quatrains are four lines, the pun is four or six sentences, and the idioms are mostly four characters. In Taoist philosophy, there is also the idea of "Tao, heaven, earth, and man" as the "four greats".

It can be seen from this that the ancients did have the habit of saying things with "four". So, there are stories such as "Four Sons of the Warring States Period", "Four Talents of Jiangnan", "Four Sons of the Late Ming Dynasty", "Four Gentlemen of the Late Qing Dynasty", "Four Sons of the Republic of China" and so on.

"Yo he, brother, you can, this can't test you, but if you compare the tasks you just exemplified, the so-called Yanjing Four Youths are really much worse than others, in these stories you just said, if we compare the ancient, modern, and modern 3 groups of characters, that is, the "Four Sons of the Warring States", "The Four Sons of the Republic of China" and "The Four Youths of Beijing" PK, not only will it be a little interesting, but also can taste some other tastes.

Let's talk about the "Four Sons of the Warring States Period" first. The "Four Princes of the Warring States Period" refers to the Xinling Jun of Wei, Meng Weijun of Qi, Pingyuan Jun of Zhao, and Chunshenjun of Chu during the Warring States Period. Because the four of them are all princes and nobles, and they are famous for their virtues, they are called the "Four Sons of the Warring States".

Xinling Jun, named Wei Wuji, was the young son of King Wei Zhao of Wei during the Warring States Period, and was called Xinling Jun because his fief was in Xinling.

"Historical Records" records: Gongzi is very modest to scholars, whether virtuous or not, and treats each other with courtesy, and does not dare to be proud of wealth and nobility.

When the country was in danger, he served as a general, "stealing talismans to save Zhao, persuading Hou to win", defeated the Qin army five times, and was a famous politician and military strategist at that time.

Pingyuan Jun, named Zhao Sheng, is the minister of the Zhao State during the Warring States Period, the son of King Wuling of Zhao, sealed in PY County, called Pingyuan Jun.

He was the prime minister at the time of King Zhao Huiwen and King Zhao Xiaocheng, and was one of the famous politicians at that time, with the feat of "breaking the siege of Handan, killing the smiling people, and promoting Zhao Luxury".

Chun Shenjun, named Huang Xie, was a minister of the Chu State during the Warring States Period and a former prime minister of the Chu State. When Huang Xie was a teenager, he traveled to study and was well-informed, and after becoming the prime minister, he shared worries for the country and benefited the people, and was given 12 counties in Huaibei as a fief, called Chunshenjun.

Meng Weijun, known as Tian Wen, was the minister of the Qi clan during the Warring States Period.

Meng Weijun has been smart and studious since childhood, respects teachers and elders, and treats his neighbors with filial piety to his parents. He entered the state of Qi when he was young, and became the prime minister, assisting the king of Qi. Because of Meng Weijun's outstanding political achievements, he won the appreciation of King Qi and was sealed in Xue Yi and became a famous nobleman of Qi State.

Judging from the resumes of the "Four Sons of the Warring States", first of all, they were all nobles, with blood and moral character; secondly, they were important ministers of the country, three of whom had served as prime ministers and one had served as generals; and again, they had all made outstanding contributions to the country and the people, and their achievements were covered at that time. These four can be said to be all heroes of the times, and they are well-deserved four sons. To be honest, Zhang Junyi didn't expect that Guo Liyang, who was full of some smuggling, was really straightforward about the origin of these historical celebrities.

"I didn't expect Brother Yang to be so proficient in historical tasks, little brother admires!" Zhang Junyi clasped his fists with both hands and actually made an ancient fist salute at Guo Liyang, this is not an action made by Zhang Junyi in order to tie up with Guo Liyang, it is really Zhang Junyi who didn't expect that the second-generation official who looked a little gentlemanly would have such goods in his stomach.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Junyi's move happened to Guo Liyang's itch, and Guo Liyang, who was about to stop eating food, simply put down his chopsticks and continued: "Let's talk about the "Four Sons of the Republic of China", which is also a real celebrity.

Zhang Boju, whose father Zhang Zhenfang was a scholar in the 30th year of Guangxu, was a very active figure in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. Zhang Boju entered a private school at the age of 7 and could write poetry at the age of 9, enjoying the reputation of "prodigy".

Zhang Xueliang, known to the world as the "young marshal", is the eldest son of Zhang Zuolin, the leader of the warlords, a first-class general in the army, and a famous political figure during the Republic of China.

"Dong Wuye" is especially proficient in Kunqu opera and Peking Opera, and is a famous ticket in Beijing.

In 1927, he served as the director of the "Institute of Music and Rhythm", and was later hired as a professor by Mizuki University and Women's College of Arts and Sciences, teaching Kunqu Opera.

He has been extremely intelligent since childhood, learning to read and write at the age of 6, reading the history of the Bible at the age of 7, learning to write articles at the age of 10, and being able to write poetry at the age of 15.

In addition, Yuan Kewen is also proficient in the art of calligraphy. Since he was a child, he studied under Shuo Ruyan, one of the four great calligraphers of modern Jinmen, and was a disciple of his room. This person is also very literati, when his family is in decline and impoverished, he does not stretch out his hand to politicians, and second, he does not become an official, so he makes a living by selling words.

Yuan Kewen published an advertisement for "Hanyun Selling Words" in the "Beiyang Pictorial", and there was an endless stream of people who came to the door to ask for words, and the pairs of 10 taels and 8 taels were very popular, but as long as he felt that today's money was enough, he would never write more. Yuan Kewen also has a unique way of writing, you can not use the table, by someone to hold the two ends of the paper in the air, he wields vigorously, the pen is powerful, and the paper is not damaged, which shows his profound skills.

Yuan Kewen can be said to be a versatile artist with a profound foundation in classical literature, proficient in the art of calligraphy and painting, exquisite opera art, and a profound level of cultural relics collection.

Judging from the stories of these four, one is a man of the year who rewrote history, and the other three are talented people with real talents and real learning, and they can also be called real celebrities. ”
