Introduction of the former residence of the champion:

The former residence of Mr. Jiagu, the champion of special science, is a Ming and Qing style residence and is currently a key cultural relic protection unit in Yunnan Province. Yuan Jiagu's former residence was once occupied by other units. In 1994, the county government decided to move out of the unit, and it was restored in October of that year as a memorial hall for Yuan Jiagu's former residence, displaying Yuan's deeds and Shiping cultural relics for tourists to visit and also as a patriotic education base. Built in the 11th year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty (1885), it was built by his father Yuan Dexiang. It is a two-story building with wooden structure in Qing Dynasty, with the gate facing west and the courtyard facing south, and a new two-story building in the west of the courtyard. There are pavements along the street next to the gate, which used to be Ganlizhen tea shop. After the house was built, the Yuan family moved from Gaopo Village to the county seat. In 1911, Eight-Nation Alliance invaded Beijing, and Emperor Guangxu and Empress Dowager Cixi fled to Xi 'an to avoid chaos. After he moved back to Beijing from Xi 'an in 1913, he adopted the suggestion of his lieutenants and opened a special course in economics to recruit talents from all over the world. Yuan Jiagu, a small town far away from Shiping, Yunnan, was recommended by Wei Guangtao, a senior minister, and went to Beijing to take the exam.

After passing the examination and palace examination, he was awarded the first place in the special subject of economics and became the only champion in Yunnan. The original Jukui Building in Kunming, the provincial capital, was renamed Zhuangyuan Building, and a plaque on Dakui Tianxia was hung. Because the whole Qing Dynasty only had three special examinations, Yuan Jiagu was promoted as the third person in the country.

Yuan Jiagu was born in Shiping in 1872, a family that made a living by doing small business, with the name Tree Five and Tree Garden. In his later years, he was named Pingshan Jushi. Although Yuan's father is a businessman, he attaches great importance to the education of his children and buys many books for them to study. Yuan Jiagu studied with his brother since childhood, and entered school at the age of 12. He was persistent in hard work and tireless in learning. He once wrote a poem about reading music: be persistent in diligence and calmness, and enjoy the book city without being careless. The screen window of the cigarette seal is fragrant, and the wind wears the paper account and sings the dragon. In addition to the green grass, Jiao Tong has Cai Yong. Who is a friend in a tall building at midnight? A bell rings in Zhutian Temple. It was Yuan Jiagu's hard-working spirit that was later elected to study in the provincial capital, Jingzheng Academy, and became the high flyers of the Academy. In the spring of 1913, he was admitted to the imperial examination as a scholar, and in the same year, he won the first place in the economic special subject, and was awarded the editing of the Hanlin Academy. In 1914, he went to Japan to study government affairs and was supervised by students studying in Japan. After returning to China in 1915, he served as the director of the Compilation and Library Bureau of the Ministry of Education, responsible for compiling new textbooks for primary and secondary schools in China. In 1919, he went to Zhejiang as a scholar-promoting ambassador and a political envoy. After the Revolution of 1911, he returned to Yunnan and devoted himself to cultural and educational research and writing books. After Yunnan established a university, she applied to the school to give lectures on Chinese studies. On February 23rd, 1937, Mr. Yuan Jiagu, who was worried about his country and people and was seriously ill, passed away at the age of 66.
