Wang Boqun’s former residence is a cultural tourist attraction.
Wang Boqun (1885-1944), a famous and well-known essayist, was born in Jingjiatun, Xiawu Village, Xingyi, and was the nephew of Guizhou warlord Liu Xianshi. When he was young, he learned Yi and Shu Jing from his father, and also studied Yangming studies and Four Books. His father died at the age of 18, so he studied "Mencius", "Zuo Zhuan" and numerology from Guizhou's Yao Mangfu, Xiong Fanyu and Xu Shuqun.
In the 32nd year of the reign of Emperor Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty (1906), Wang Boqun and four others were among the first batch of people selected by Xingyi County to study in Japan at public expense. They first entered the political and economic department of Hongwen College, and then entered the Central University to study political economics. Entered Academia Sinica for further study. In Japan, he joined the Tongmenghui led by Sun Yat-sen with Zhang Taiyan and others, participated in revolutionary activities, and got acquainted with Liang Qichao.
After the Revolution of 1911 in the first year of the Republic of China (1912), Wang Boqun returned from Japan and joined the "Republic of China Federation" organized by Zhang Taiyan and Cheng Dequan in Shanghai to develop revolutionary forces. At the invitation of Zhang Taiyan, he served as the manager of "Da *** and Daily" to promote Sun Yat-sen's revolutionary thoughts. At that time, Liang Qichao organized the Progressive Party in Beijing and invited Wang to serve as its director.
In the third year of the Republic of China (1914), Wang Boqun participated in the formulation of the "Convention and Laws of the Republic of China" in Beijing.
In the 9th year of the Republic of China (1920), Wang Boqun followed Sun Yat-sen back to Guangdong to restore the military government, and served as Grand Councilor and Minister of Transportation of the military government in Guangzhou.
During the Anti-Japanese War, he served as the president of Daxia University and moved Daxia University to Guiyang, Guizhou. In early December 1944, due to the Japanese invasion of the southwest, Wang was ordered to evacuate and decided to move Daxia University to Chishui County in northern Guizhou. Due to financial difficulties in moving the school, Wang Boqun went to Chongqing to request subsidies. However, his stomach problems became increasingly severe and he died in Chongqing Army Hospital on the 20th (some say it was the 26th). He was 60 years old.
The former residence of Wang Boqun is located on the west side of Huguo Road, Nanming District, Guiyang City. It is a unique French-style building built in 1917. It is a French-style building with a brick and wood structure, covering an area of ??1,600 square meters. From the outside, it is composed of a rectangular main building and a cylindrical watchtower. The main building is seven rooms wide, with two floors, and corridors on all sides. A Xieshan roof is added to one corner of the flat roof, which is a typical combination of Chinese and Western styles. The steps downstairs are divided into two groups, the bottom one is the Ruyi Steps and the upper one is the Hanging Belt Steps. The white gray sculptures on the brick pillars look like cabbage, which is very different from Western figure sculptures. Although Wang Boqun's former residence is a French-style building, its decoration techniques are still influenced by traditional techniques, and it is the product of the fusion of Chinese and foreign architectural cultures. As an important historical site in modern times, Wang Boqun's former residence is now a provincial cultural relic protection unit.
