Who were the four sons in the early years of the Republic of China?

In the early years of the Republic of China, the upper classes in Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai and other places called four legendary children of wealthy families "quadruplets", and later they were called "quadruplets in the early Republic of China". They are Pu Dong, the younger brother of the last emperor Puyi, Yuan Shikai's second son Yuan, the son of Henan Governor Zhang Zhizi, and Zhang Xueliang, the son of Feng Zhi warlord Zhang Zhizi. They were all born in wealthy families, but their endings and fates were quite different, and they went through their own stormy life paths in different social backgrounds.

Pudong, owner of Hongdu Restaurant.

Pu Dong was born in Guangxu for three years (1877), so he was called "Dong". Pu Dong likes Kunqu Opera and Peking Opera since he was a child. Because of his profound cultural accomplishment, familiarity with lyrics and rhythm, mastery of classical literature and extensive knowledge, he has a deep understanding of the plot, character identity and prescribed scenes of the play, and his performance of various roles is also vivid. Because Pu Dong is well-read and has both civil and military skills, when he mentioned "Fifth Master Dong" in the pear garden, no one refused, and countless people came to learn from the teacher. It is said that the famous figures at that time, such as Yan, Yan, Yan and others, had learned from him. 1930, Tsinghua University hired him as a tutor in Fun School. At the same time, he also teaches Kunqu Opera in Beijing Women's College of Arts and Sciences and Beijing Institute of Art, and has trained many high-quality artistic talents for our country. 1950 In June, Pu Dong died in Shanghai at the age of 73. More than 100 people attended the memorial service, including his former disciples, friends in the music circle and people in the literary and art circles. Mei Lanfang, a famous Peking Opera actor, heard the news and came to offer condolences in the rain when Pu Dong forgot to make friends. At this time, the coffin was covered. At Mei Lanfang's earnest request, the family opened the coffin, which made two old friends see each other for the last time.

Yuan, a romantic genius

Yuan Yu 1890 was born in Seoul, North Korea in July. Her mother is the daughter of a North Korean nobleman. Because Shen Shi, Yuan Shikai's eldest concubine, was absent, Yuan was adopted by Shen Shi as soon as he was born. Yuan was exceptionally clever since he was a child. He reads fast books, poetry, calligraphy, poetry and drama, and knows everything. Most of Yuan Shikai's private manuscripts in his later period came from his hands, and he was the best among Yuan philosophers and won Yuan Shikai's favor. Yolanda is quite conceited. He often compares himself to the romance of the Three Kingdoms, which makes his brother Yuan jealous. Unlike his father Yuan, he has no intention of seizing power. When Yuan proclaimed himself emperor in 19 15, he disagreed with his father and brother. He has a poem against imperialism, which once said for a while: "A pony stays for a while, afraid it will make you dream of the third night." The mountain is high and stormy, so don't go to Qiongding Building. "Yuan once joined green gang in Shanghai, and was one of the highest in his generation. Huang, who dominated Shanghai at that time, was a "general" generation shorter than Yuan, and Du was an "enlightened" generation among his disciples, so people called Yuan a "little boss". In fact, Yuan is still a scholar in essence. Someone once vividly summed up his life in six words: "A noble son, a pure scholar". This evaluation can be said to be correct.

Later, he was adopted by his uncle and Zhang, the governor of Henan in the early Republic of China. Zhang Boju is very talented.
