The Former Residence of Tang Qunying is located in Huangni Village, Xinqiao Town, Hengshan County, Hengyang City, Hunan Province. The exhibition hall covers a land area of 13,600 square meters with a building area of 1,800 square meters. Built in 2012, it features an exhibition themed on the life story of Tang Qunying.

    The former residence occupies a land area of 325 square meters. Originally constructed in the Qing Dynasty by Tang Xingzhao, father of Tang Qunying, it served as her main residence in her later years. Facing west with its back to the east, the residence adopts a brick-and-wood structure with a grey tile roof and a single-eave hanging gable design. It features wooden floors and lime-earth ground surfaces. The building spans three bays in width and consists of two courtyards with an inner patio. Its layout includes a front gate, a main hall, a transitional hall, side rooms on the left and right, and three rear chambers, totaling eight rooms, with a building area of 273.4 square meters.

    On May 19, 2002, the Former Residence and Tomb of Tang Qunying were designated as a Hunan Provincial Cultural Relic Protection Unit in the Notice of the People’s Government of Hunan Province on Announcing Provincial-Level Cultural Relic Protection Units (Xiang Zheng Fa [2002] No. 11).

    Tang Qunying (courtesy name Xitao, 1871–unknown) was a native of Hengshan, Hunan. In her early years, she followed Sun Yat-sen to engage in the democratic revolution and became the first female member of the Tongmenghui (Chinese Revolutionary Alliance). After the Wuchang Uprising, she founded the Women’s Support Association and the Relief Team of the Northern Expedition Army, and served as the Captain of the Women’s Northern Expedition Corps. An outstanding patriot, she was praised by Sun Yat-sen as "the heroic female pioneer who founded the Republic of China" and awarded the Second-Class Order of Golden Grain.

  To strive for gender equality, Tang Qunying initiated and led China’s first vigorous women’s suffrage movement, emerging as a leader and pioneer of the women’s rights movement. She is hailed as "the dawn of women’s rights in five thousand years" and "the first call of the Sino-Japanese women’s movement". In 1919, Kang Keqing inscribed the tribute "Soul of a Generation of Women" for her. At the Fourth World Conference on Women held by the United Nations in 1993, Tang Qunying was listed as one of the outstanding Chinese female figures of the past century.

   In her later years, committed to improving women’s education in China, Tang Qunying successively founded five women’s newspapers and periodicals and ten girls’ schools, making her a renowned female journalist and women’s educator in the early Republic of China.

  "Shi Wu Jia" (My Family Residence) is the only surviving original structure of Tang Qunying’s former residence. It bears witness to her birth, growth, daily life and studies. It is the only former residence of an influential female cultural celebrity in Hunan who made remarkable contributions to the revolution during the Old Democratic Revolution period, ranking as a highly precious key cultural relic protection unit.

   Tang Qunying’s early dedication to the democratic revolution alongside Sun Yat-sen and her status as the first female member of the Tongmenghui were instrumental in overthrowing the imperial system and establishing a republic. Honored by Sun Yat-sen as "the heroic female pioneer who founded the Republic of China" and praised by Kang Keqing as "Soul of a Generation of Women", she is recognized as one of the Eight Distinguished Chinese Women of the Past Century. Her former residence stands as a precious historical testimony and cultural publicity carrier of her legendary life.

    To fight for gender equality, Tang Qunying established the Women’s Suffrage Alliance and spearheaded China’s first women’s suffrage movement. She holds a prominent position in the history of international women’s movements, ranking 12th worldwide.
