Tang Jiyao, also known as Tang Geng, was born in Jinzhong, Huize County, Yunnan Province in 1883 and died in 1927 at the age of 44. Tang Jiyao's former residence is located at No. 14, Sandao Lane, Huize County, covering an area of 850 square meters. The whole house faces south and north, and is divided into two courtyards, front and back. It is a small closed quadrangle building complex, which is a typical residential building in the middle and late Qing Dynasty in Huize. There are 3 main halls, a hall, a study and a stable in the front yard, and a warehouse in the back yard for grain. There are 14 houses in the front and back yards, and the courtyard of the former residence is well preserved. Tang Jiyao was an outstanding military strategist. He successively instigated the "Double Ninth Uprising", launched the National Protection Movement, and led the "Protecting the Law and Peace the Country". He was called "Three Heroes of Protecting the Country" together with Cai E and Li Liejun. Tang Jiyao was also an outstanding politician. During the 14 years he governed Yunnan, Tang Jiyao attached great importance to the development of education and sent a large number of students abroad. He took the lead in donating 10,000 yuan (old Yunnan currency) as preparatory fees, and later donated another 500,000 yuan to establish the first regular private university in Southwest China - Donglu University (the predecessor of today's Yunnan University); founded the first aviation school in Southwest China; and established the first bus station in Yunnan's history.
