Xia Tonggong (1874-1925), courtesy name Qing, was a native of Shishan Mountain, and a native of Gaofang, Maha Prefecture (present-day Majiang County), Guizhou. In the twenty-fourth year of qing guangxu (1898), he was one of only two wenzhuangyuan in the history of Guizhou (the other wenzhuangyuan was Zhao Yijiong, who was a jinshi in the twelfth year of Qing Guangxu (1886) and participated in the temple examination and won the first place in the first division, the first wenzhuangyuan in Guizhou since the establishment of the province).

The existing Xia Tong Gong Zhuangyuan Mansion was built by his father Xia Tingyuan during the Qing Guangxu Period before Xia Tonggong was born in the Qing Dynasty, covering an area of 1638 square meters and a construction area of 542 square meters. The house is located on the mountain, sitting north to south, consisting of a gate tower, a two-compartment and a main hall, with a bucket-style hard mountain green tile roof and lattice doors and windows. There are 3 main halls (17 meters wide, 2 deep, 7.3 meters deep), 2 east and west wing rooms, and 3 halls. The firewall at both ends of the house is in the shape of a 3-story archway, with a bucket handle through the air, and the eaves are high, decorated with a strange flower and bird pattern. The patio is paved with bluestone and moderately hot and cool. The whole building is a typical southern ordinary high-sealing fire wall guard courtyard building, solemn and elegant, unique.

It is said that the current plaque and the joint have been lost, but fortunately there are photos of the couplet for tourists to see. The building was announced as a provincial cultural relics protection unit in December 1999, and in November 2011 it was listed as the third batch of free open museums in the country.

Xia Tong Gong jinshi roll
Xia Tonggong was born in a family of scholars and eunuchs, and was intelligent and studious since childhood. When he was a teenager, he often competed with his classmates to read enlightenment books such as "Hundred Family Names", "Three Character Classic", and "Kindergarten Qionglin". His father, Xia Tingyuan, served as a prefect. After his father's death, Xia Tonggong studied with his cousin Xia Tongyi, who was a Taoist in Guangdong. In the nineteenth year of Guangxu (1893), Xia Tonggong participated in the Shuntianxiang Examination, and Zhongdi was already ranked twenty-ninth. In the twenty-fourth year of Guangxu (1898), Xia Tonggong traveled a long distance from his hometown in Guizhou, went to the capital to participate in the examination of the Pengshu Branch, ranked among the best in the list of zhonggong scholars, ranked among the top in the re-examination, and Enzhun went to the Bohe Hall to participate in the temple examination, and when he was asked about the content of the major policies of "seeking talent, economic martial arts, slowing down, and financial management", Xia Tonggong's incisive and unique answer was appreciated by the Guangxu Emperor and was approved as a champion, and he was announced to the world with the Yellow List, giving the crown crown hat, phi ling, and the imperial belt, and was awarded the title of Hanlin Academy. Subsequently, Xia Tonggong was sent down as the deputy examiner of Gengzi and Xinuke Hunan in the twenty-eighth year of Guangxu (1902); in the thirty-second year of Guangxu (1906), he was sent by the Qing government to travel east to Japan to study and investigate, and entered the first class of the Law and Politics Accelerated Section of Hosei University to study law and politics, and was the first person to have the dual identity of both a champion and a foreign study. After returning to China, he compiled and published the earliest modern administrative law work in Chinese history, "Administrative Law", founded the Guangdong Law and Politics School, one of the earliest law and politics schools in China, and served as a supervisor (principal), and hired a large number of returnees from studying abroad as teachers, such as Zhu Zhixin, Chen Rong, Gu Yingfen, etc., most of whom were members of the League.

Xia Tonggong served as the superintendent of the Guangdong Law and Politics School (the predecessor of today's Sun Yat-sen University) and the director of the Industrial Department of Jiangxi Province. He was listed as one of the "Three Great Calligraphers" of the late Qing Dynasty, and his calligraphy was quite famous at that time, and the Guizhou Tongzhi praised Xia Tonggong for his "good works and literature, and his name was famous in the world." According to historical records, the inkblot of the "Tangding Village" stele he wrote for his friend Guangdong Xuezheng Qiu Fengjia's hometown was preserved by the photography of the "Lingnan Literature and History"; the couplet "The Latest Friendship is unique, accumulating the Qingzi Zhong" written for Zhijiao Liangcun was treasured by the Guizhou Museum.

Xia Tonggong wrote a "Four-Legged Song": "The ugly woman is my wife, and she does not want to be beautiful and charming, and she only asks her to be safe and obedient, but it is enough to be virtuous; the fool is my son, who is clever and clever, and only asks him to respect the old, but it is enough to be filial piety; the hut is my residence, and I do not want to be gorgeous and comfortable, and I only want him to cover the wind and rain, but I have enough to avoid the cold; the coarse grain is my food, and I want to be delicious, I only want it to be three meals rich, but I have to be hungry enough." The Four-Legged Song still has its positive educational significance today.
"The most important thing is that the fragrance of books can go far, and there is poetry and bookishness in the belly." Xia Tonggong, as a relatively backward Guizhou student at that time, was diligent in his studies and could stand out in the scientific expedition, "the world is big", which was admirable. Visit the Xia Tong Gong Zhuangyuan Mansion and enjoy the charm of the "Zhuangyuan Culture" Hanmo Book. While admiring the beautiful cultural landscape of the house, it is infiltrated by traditional culture and influenced by ideas, and harvests a lot. "The study of the classics is noble and persistent, and the cold window has been working hard for ten years." Ma Ha raised his son Hong HuZhi and won the imperial capital. This is a humble poem given by the author after the tour, talking to express the feelings of the heart.
