Zhang Zhidong, the four famous ministers of Zhongshan Zhongxing, is a single-minded person. Why does he only accept concubines and not wives?

Among the four famous ministers in the late Qing Dynasty, everyone has something to say. Today we will talk about Zhang Zhidong. Zhang Zhidong is one of the four famous ministers in the late Qing Dynasty and one of the representatives of Westernization School. At the age of 27, he was admitted to imperial academy to report and edit. Since then, his position has been constantly changing, and he has been a college student in Tijen Hall. We have nothing to say about his achievements in this life, but we can still pander in personal matters.

It is said that Zhang Zhidong was single-minded, but later he only married concubines and did not marry wives. Seeing this, some people will wonder, only concubinage and not concubinage? This can be called undivided attention. If you really think like I said, congratulations, you don't know Zhang Zhidong. There is a reason why Zhang Zhidong only concubines and does not marry. Please listen to me slowly.

Zhang Zhidong had married more than one wife before taking a concubine. His first marriage married Xu Shi's daughter, a judge. Unfortunately, it backfired. They were together for only eleven years, and his wife Shi died. Zhang Zhidong is deeply saddened by this.

It was not until five years later that people around him advised him to remarry and take care of the backyard that he married Tang Shuyi's daughter Down. But two years later, Down also died, leaving Zhang Zhidong and a one-year-old child unattended. In order to take care of his young children, Zhang Zhidong married Wang Zuyuan, the daughter of the magistrate, after the death of Tang Dynasty, and settled down.

I don't need to say more below. As we all know, Wang only served Zhang Zhidong for three years and left with the first two ladies. See here, do you feel the same way with me? Zhang Zhidong will not be a wife! Or maybe so, Zhang Zhidong never married again, only married two concubines.
