In 1923, Cao Kun's military uniform statue was established to commemorate the establishment of the Constitution. The silver coins were all deeply engraved, with an old flavor and colorful paste. The vivid design details of President Cao were clear and full, and the state was excellent. Cao Kun (December 12, 1862 – May 17, 1938), also known as Zhong Shan, was born in Tianjin. He was the fifth President of the Republic of China, a First Class General of the National Revolutionary Army, and the leader of a direct warlord. During Cao Kun's tenure in the Beijing government, he basically adhered to a nationalist stance and safeguarded national sovereignty in handling the "Lincheng Car Robbery Case" and completing the negotiations for the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the Soviet Union. The Constitution of the Republic of China, abbreviated as the Constitution of the Republic of China, was completed by the Constitutional Conference of the Republic of China in the context of Cao Kun's bribery in elections. It was promulgated and implemented on October 10, 1923, and was the first officially promulgated constitution in China. However, only one year after its publication, it was overturned by the draft Constitution of the Republic of China published by Duan Qirui, and most of its provisions were not implemented. In terms of the Constitution itself, the 1923 Constitution of the Republic of China is considered a relatively excellent constitution with high legal value. In October 1924, during the Second Zhifeng War, Feng Yuxiang defected and launched the Beijing coup. The Zhijun suffered a disastrous defeat, and Cao Kun was forced to step down and placed under house arrest. After the Lugou Bridge Incident in 1937, North China fell. Cao Kun's old subordinates during the Beiyang period successively took on important positions in the puppet regime. The Japanese side also tried every means to win over Cao Kun, but he was never swayed by money or status, refused to cooperate with the Japanese, and maintained the evening festival.
