章琰是黄埔军校早期难得的军事理论家,然而由于种种原因,目前见到的黄埔军校同学录和教职员名录中都没有章琰的名字。一些资料和回忆录误将章琰写作“章炎”、“张致”等。本文以博物馆馆藏的珍贵文物为线索,结合相关历史资料,考证其生平事迹,同时也从侧面为20世纪20年代末期的社会、经济状况作一印证。——编者按 Zhang Yan was a rare military theorist in the Whampoa Military Academy. However, for a variety of reasons, none of the current Huangpu Military Academy collegiate records and faculty members lists Zhang Yan’s name. Some information and memoirs mistaken Zhang Yan will be writing “Zhang Yan ”, “Zhang Zhi ” and so on. This article takes the valuable cultural relics collected in the museum as a clue and combines the relevant historical data to verify its life story. At the same time, it also makes a contradiction of the social and economic conditions of the late 1920s. - Editor’s note
