In the second year of Jiaqing (1797), Sangzhi Mongolian Sha Wenqing was born in Shajiatai, Hekou. Sha studied hard since childhood, and was banished to Chenzhou and Changning counties in Jiangxi, and then to Guang Ningxian. Later, he served as a military officer in Guangdong, Guangxi and Fujian, a military officer in Min Nan and a magistrate in Zhaoqing. Later, he was appointed as Fu Daotai in Guangzhou, and was awarded Dr. Zhong Xian and Senior Financial Officer. He was buried in Dapokou, Mashan, Hua Shan County, Changsha.
Sha's poems such as "Holding Friends" and "The Book of Constitution" are still circulating in Xiangxi. In the second year of Jiaqing in Qing Dynasty, Sha, a native of Sangzhi River Estuary, wrote "Holding Friends", saying, "It's amazing that the day flies." His "Moon Song, Mourning" shows that Sangzhi folk songs were more popular in Qing Dynasty.
There are six poems in Selected Poems of Sangzhi, among which the poem of Yuan Tan is about Sangzhi tea: "Yuan Tan has a long and quiet day, and Quetong tea is fried with clear water. Poetry, especially calligraphy, was the seventh largest calligrapher in China at that time.
