It is a
National Key Protection Unit of Cultural Relic
. It lies at Longchuanchong and was built in the fifth year of Xianfeng Period in Qing Dynasty. It was then called “
Hunan Lijin Bureau Hongjiang Branch”. Lijin, also termed “Lijuan”, is a kind of tax on the cargo transported through the major domestic rivers and highways, collected by the late Qing Dynasty for suppressing the uprisings and furnishing government provisions. The taxation rate was first set at 1% of the actual value of the cargo taxed. 1% equals “li” (a Chinese currency measurement), so the tax is called “Lijin” (jin means money in Chinese). In the early Republic Period, the Qing System was inherited. The bureau was changed as “Hongjiang Lijin Taxation Bureau. In 1929, Lijin was abolished in
Hunan. The Lijin Mechanism no longer existed. The house of the bureau was purchased by Zhang Nanshan, a businessman from
Shanxi
Province, for his dwelling and business affairs. Lijin Bureau is a one-entrance-three-door single-eave-double-storey house with bricking walls around it. The height of the roof is uneven. There are two stories in the south and three storeys in the north, which are arrayed in undulation. There is a splaying door in the southwest direction which leads directly to the south courtyard. On the right side is the taxation counter. Within the bureau, there were organs such as official document office, accounting office, general affairs office, secretary office, customs office, seal office, voucher office and inspection team leader office. The whole architecture fits the local physiognomy well. It has a reasonable, simple, yet tasty layout. It is a key materialistic historical data for the researches on the social economic development, taxation history of late Qing Dynasty as well as on the architecture art of south mountainous regions. Presently it has been turned to Hongjiang Taxation Exhibition Hall.
