Abstract: During the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Chong, one of the "Eight Sages of Liuzhou," was exiled to Duyun, Guizhou Province. Through serendipitous circumstances, he organized local lectures that enriched the cultural heritage of Duyun and Guizhou as a whole. Under the influence of Confucian ideals of "vast righteousness," his writings achieved remarkable harmony between literary elegance and practical substance. His educational philosophy thus embodied a transcendent and open-minded approach. Grounded in the principle of applying knowledge to governance, he integrated scholarly pursuits with pedagogical practice, demonstrating his aesthetic vision and life aspirations through this fusion of scholarship and education.

Key words: Shangdatongtuo；healing the people；seeking truth from facts
