Zhang Wenhu was a famous emendator of NanHui during the late empire china . We can make a particular review of his lifespace and thought by the publication of his corpus and diary.During his life , he went through all kinds of hardship. He had to leave home to find a job in order to provide the whole family. However, though he encounter much suffering of the war, he still had much fealty for the Qing Dynasty. He believed that the dynasty would save the people all the time. He failed in the imperial examination, but he came into the government by his assistant experience and his effort. All this proved that the social fluxion was very special in late empire china .He lived very poor, but he was still loyalty to the government .This declared the reason why the decayable dynasty could maintain so much time after domestic rebellion and western's aggression. This also absolutely illustrates that the dynasty was still the dominator of the main ideology and the social voice. The reason why the power of gentlemen rising in 19th century was only the result of the central government loosening the power in order to solve the crisis. Actually, in 19th centuary, Jiangnan district didn't achieve to the high local autonomy. By contraries, the central government controlled the local government more and more strongly .
