Introduction to Xu copybook

Xu once participated in the "constitutional monarchy" movement. In the twenty-second year of Guangxu (1906), he organized a constitutional assembly in northern Hunan and served as a director. In September of Xuantong Yuan (1909), he organized the Jiangsu Provincial Advisory Bureau as the office of the General Assembly. In Xuantong's second year (19 10), he served as a member of the Senior Advisory Bureau of Jingshi. Xuan Tong served as the chairman of the Senior Advisory Committee for several days in three years (191year).

In August of the 31st year of Guangxu (1905), Nantong people Xu and Zhang Jian founded the glass company, and Yan Xinhou founded Haifeng flour company in Haizhou. In the second year (19 10), Xu founded Ganfeng Machine Oil Cake Factory. In addition, they also jointly operated Zhenjiang Kaicheng Pen Container Factory, Ganyu Sea Dry Reclamation Animal Husbandry Company, Shanghai Tongli Machine Spinning Line Sack Company, Shanghai Dada Waijiang Shipping Company with Zhang Jian and Yan Xinhou respectively, and invested in Beijing Boli Leather Factory, Jingdezhen Jiangxi Porcelain Company and other enterprises. In recognition of his achievements in industrial management, the Qing government awarded him many awards and awarded him a "second-class" office. Three years later, Xuantong was promoted to "the first product", and was called "the three outstanding figures of saving the country by northern Jiangsu industry" together with Zhang Jian and Shen Yunpei.

Yu Xu Zhang Jian

Xu and Zhang Jian are both celebrities in modern Jiangbei. The two met in their early years and forged a profound friendship. In the next 30 years, like-minded, sincere cooperation, committed to saving the country by industry, constitutionalism in the late Qing Dynasty, guiding the Huaihe River disaster relief and other undertakings. Xu was influenced by Zhang Jian's thought of saving the country by industry. Starting from 1904, they co-founded Xu Yao Glass Company, Zhenjiang Pen Company, Shanghai Dada Shipping Company and other enterprises to jointly explore the road of saving the country through industry. In the constitutionalism of the late Qing Dynasty, both of them were important constitutional activists, actively cooperating and advocating constitutionalism. Zhang Jian wrote an epitaph for Xu.

Xudinglin private garden

Zhang Jian, a famous scholar and industrialist in the late Qing Dynasty, was closely related to Xu. Once, Zhang Jian came to Ganyu from Nantong to visit Xu. After supper, they took a walk in the small garden. Zhang Jian was very interested and recited a poem casually. Xu Dinglin praised it and told the servant to go back and decorate the study. Later, when I returned to my study, I invited several scholars to propose a poem to each of my literary friends present. Suddenly, a piece of paper floated down from the beam. Xu picked it up and read aloud:

There is also a village with green trees and red buildings, and the sisters next door share paper.

All kinds of new worries come with the water, and the old worries complain about the clouds for no reason.

There are thousands of trees in Mei Kaisu's small grave, and grass grows in Wang Yue's grave.

The poor night rain in eastern Zhejiang soaked Wu Ling's pleated skirt.

After reading it, Xu smiled and said, "My white fox fairy, welcome guests from afar and present a poem. Thank you. " This made everyone laugh. It turned out that this was arranged by Xu in advance. On this matter, someone later wrote a poem sarcastically saying:

The toddler Handan has lost its trace, and the wild fox is looking forward to shedding his face.

Lingshan is farther than Tianya, and the dream of burning incense has not passed.

Epitaph copybook

Xu epitaph copybook was published by the Commercial Press in March of the 38th year of the Republic of China (1949). At that time, it was priced in 8 yuan and printed on Xuan paper. The book is 32 cm long and 18 cm wide, with 28 pages and more than 700 words. The content is complete, but the front cover and back cover of the book are slightly damaged, but there are no missing words. This book has a vertical right-facing, and it is wrapped with thread. From right to left, the contents of the homepage are: Epitaph of Dr. Guanglu as an Angel Xu Jun and Book of Zhang Jian in Nantong written by Chen Yining. The epitaph begins with Xu's personal profile, and comprehensively introduces Xu Congke, a famous Ganyu person in the late Qing Dynasty, who joined the official position and later went to foreign embassies to start an industry.

The physical objects about Xu are rarely preserved in Ganyu, and the copy of Xu Epitaph is of great value to the study of Xu.
