He works in poetry and occasionally paints, especially calligraphy. Immersed in han li in his later years, he was the first among his peers and writers. Calligraphers at that time admired his calligraphy attainments.
military department was the highest decision-making body in the Qing Dynasty since Yongzheng. Weng Tonghe joined the army for the first time from November of the eighth year of Guangxu (1882) to March of the tenth year of Guangxu (1884), which coincided with the Sino-French War. The second time was from June of the 2th year of Guangxu (1894) to April of the 24th year of Guangxu (1898), which coincided with the Sino-Japanese Sino-Japanese War of 1894 and the Reform Movement of 1898. He participated in the decision-making of the main battle against France and Japan. On the attitude towards the invaders, he fought resolutely with the peace faction, which fully reflected his patriotism. At the same time, it also proved that it was his mistake that led to the fiasco of the Sino-Japanese War. Weng Tonghe knew how to fight without considering the strength of the two families at that time, but there was no battle plan. Weng extended his personal factional struggle with Li Hongzhang to the affairs of state, deducted the military expenses of Beiyang Navy, and eventually led to the failure of the Sino-Japanese War, which was an indelible stain in his life. In 1887, Weng Tonghe was appointed as the minister of the Ministry of Housing. In the second year, the Yellow River was definitely raised in Zhengzhou, and there was no money to control it at the moment. Therefore, "the Ministry of Housing, in Chen's" Six Measures for Preparing for River Relief ",demanded that since 1888," for more than ten years, the provinces have purchased a lot of ordnance, armored clippers and new batteries, which have been set up for the second time. " The consequence of this clause is that the warship that Li Hongzhang was ordering was not purchased, but was bought by the Japanese first. This is the Japanese warship "Yoshino", which was greatly scenic in the Sino-Japanese naval battle. At that time, many Manchu officials regarded Beiyang Navy as Li Hongzhang's "private property", fearing that the growth of Beiyang Navy was the depth of Li Hongzhang's own rights, and he had long intended to prevent and curb it. Weng Tonghe, who had a holiday with Li Hongzhang from public to private, also had this doubt. Therefore, he really had great motivation to make a fuss about the military expenditure of Beiyang Navy. The Reform Movement of 1898, which was directly triggered by the fiasco of the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, was an unprecedented and profound change in China's modern social politics. Weng Tonghe followed the trend of historical development and recommended Kang Youwei and other progressives to Emperor Guangxu. He was praised by Kang Youwei as "the first mentor of China Reform". He advocated the reform, drafted and issued a programmatic document of the Reform Movement of 1898, which opened the prelude to the hundred-day reform. Because he violated the interests of the die-hards headed by Empress Dowager Cixi, Weng Tonghe was given a vacancy to return home. After the failure of the "Reform Movement of 1898", Empress Dowager Cixi still resented it, and ordered Weng Tonghe to be dismissed and never used again, and handed over to local officials for strict control. The 7-year-old man stood in the forefront of the times for the survival of the country and the nation with his prominent position as an important official and a top official in the Qing court, so he went down in history.
