Story:
During the Song Dynasty, Wen Tianxiang, a national hero who resisted invaders, wrote the ci poem "Qin Yuan Chun" for the temple of Zhang Xun, a loyal minister from the Tang Dynasty who died unyieldingly while cursing the rebels.
In the poem, he wrote: "Zhang Xun, who cursed the rebels, and Xu Yuan, who stood with him, both achieved everlasting fame. Later generations, none possess the integrity of these two lords, a steel refined a hundred times. Life is but a fleeting cloud, so why not make it a grand and spectacular endeavor?" This fully praised their indomitable spirit and integrity.
