For four years (1244), Li Zongchun learned from the experience of other hospitals, and was tired of being a Privy Council officer, a member of the Central Bookstore, and a left assistant minister, and moved to political affairs. In the tenth year of Xian Chun (1274), he paid an audience with Right Prime Minister and Special Envoy of the Privy Council. When Yuan soldiers invaded, he actively fought the main battle and supported the national hero Wen Tianxiang's anti-Yuan ideas. Later, due to the death of Han Zhendian Shuai, Jane was persecuted by Wang Lun, the left prime minister of the traitor party, and was forced to return to the field. He was falsely hiding a treasure seal, and after a sudden search, he found nothing but a jade cup, only to know his true colors and honest qualities.
As an honest official, he is strict in political affairs, generous to others, and cares about the country and the people all his life. His famous phrase "A thousand miles of mountains and rivers save the nation" is widely read. Wen Tianxiang's "Zhang Shang Hangjian Mountain Book" and "Xie Zhang Hangjian Mountain Book" gave him high praise. When Jane returned to her hometown to live in seclusion, Wen Tianxiang also wrote poems praising him for being an official and being a man, and his spiritual quality: "The old man of the country, the Qing minister at that time, and the paintings in the religious and political areas were completely new." Wealth is not lewd, adversity is sympathetic, and the gods are always proud. "Wu Zaizan said: Although Jian Qing is assisted by the Prime Minister, he is still like a cloth.

Gaiqi witnessed the defeat of the Chaogang and the decline of the national situation, which was difficult to support. " I lost my wealth, but I lost my track. I am timid and sad. "Zhang Jian did not make outstanding achievements in politics, but his honesty and generosity were praised by the court. There is a history that when Zhang Jian lived in seclusion in the mountains, he fought with the woodcutter for a seat, so that the woodcutter who fought with him didn't know that the old man was the retired right prime minister.
