         4 . The shower column according to  claim 3 , wherein the water inlet is arranged at an inclined direction relative to the water passing body, the first water outlet is provided on an upper end surface of the water passing body, the second water outlet is provided on a lower end surface of the water passing body, the first water outlet and the second water outlet are arranged oppositely, the water inlet is arranged away from the two water outlets, the through port is provided close to the water inlet, and the switching port is provided between the through port and the first water outlet. 
     
     
         5 . The shower column according to  claim 1 , wherein the water passing body is made of a metallic material, the water passing body has an irregular outer shape, the water passing body is provided with five interface portions, and the water inlet, the through port, the switching port, and the two water outlets are provided on the interface portions, respectively; the water passing body is integrally formed through a casting or forging process. 
     
     
         6 . The shower column according to  claim 1 , wherein the functional part is a filter, a plugging joint, or an adapter. 
     
     
         7 . The shower column according to  claim 6 , wherein the filter comprises a filter body and a filter connector provided on the filter body, the filter body has a cavity with an open end, a filter core is arranged in the cavity, the filter connector is connected to the open end of the filter body, and the filter connector is connected to the through port. 
     
     
         8 . The shower column according to  claim 7 , wherein inside the filter connector, there are a water inlet channel and a water outlet channel annularly surrounded outside the water inlet channel, the water inlet channel and the water outlet channel are separated by an annular partition wall, the water outlet channel is connected to an inner wall surface of the filter connector through a plurality of connecting walls, the filter core is configured as a cylindrical structure that penetrates up and down, the water inlet channel is in communication with an inner wall of the cylindrical structure, and the water outlet channel is in communication with a flow space between the filter core and the filter body. 
     
     
         9 . The shower column according to  claim 8 , wherein the through port is internally provided with a connector, a partition wall is provided inside the connector, the partition wall divides an interior of the connector into two circulation parts, and the two circulation parts are in communication with the water inlet channel and the water outlet channel, respectively. 
     
     
         10 . The shower column according to  claim 7 , wherein an outer wall surface of the filter connector is provided with a plurality of inclined portions, a plurality of receiving portions below the inclined portions, and a plurality of transition portions between the inclined portions and the receiving portions, and the transition portion is in communication with the receiving portion; an engaging portion corresponding to the receiving portion is provided on an inner wall of the through port, and the engaging portion enters from the transition portion and is guided by the inclined portion to enter and be engaged with the receiving portion. 
     
     
         11 .
