The seat of the Soviet government in the Nanliang Shaanxi Gansu border region

Around the Nanliang revolutionary memorial hall, there are various kinds of red relics, mainly including dafengchuan military and civilian production base, zhaiziwan Liu Zhidan, Xi Zhongxun's former residence, the former site of the seventh branch of the Anti Japanese university, and the former site of Lenin primary school.

In 1929, Liu Zhidan, Xie Zichang, Xi Zhongxun and other comrades, under the leadership of the party, went to Shaanxi Gansu border area to publicize revolutionary truth and carry out armed struggle. From 1930 to 1933, Shaanxi Gansu guerrillas of the Chinese workers' and peasants' Red Army and the 26th army of the Chinese workers' and peasants' Red Army were successively established. At the beginning of 1934, the Shaanxi Gansu border region Revolutionary Committee was elected and established in sihetai near Nanliang. From November 4 to 6 of the same year, the workers, peasants and soldiers' Congress was held in liyuanbao, Nanliang, and the Shaanxi Gansu border region Soviet government and Revolutionary Military Committee were established. Xi Zhongxun was successively elected chairman of the Shaanxi Gansu border region Revolutionary Committee and the Soviet government, and Liu Zhidan was elected chairman of the Revolutionary Military Committee.

After arduous struggle in the border area of Shaanxi and Gansu, the revolutionary base of Shaanxi and Gansu was opened up with Nanliang as the center, and the first democratic regime of workers and peasants in Northwest China, the Soviet government of Shaanxi and Gansu border region, was established. The Shaanxi Gansu border revolutionary base centered on Nanliang was established far away from the Party Central Committee and the revolutionary center. It was a well preserved base of the Communist Party of China when the revolutionary bases in the South were occupied one after another and the Party Central Committee and the Red Army were forced to carry out strategic transfer. In the history of the party, it is called: the only remaining revolutionary base of our party in the late period of the second domestic revolution. Its existence provided a foothold for the Party Central Committee and the Red Army in the Long March, a starting point for the Eighth Route Army to go north to resist Japan, and made great contributions to the victory of the national revolution.

In the process of establishing the base area, the army and the people of the border region fought one after another, smashed the enemy's repeated attacks and "encirclement and suppression" and expanded the revolutionary forces. The base area expanded from Huachi to Heshui, Qingcheng, Zhengning and Ningxian counties in Qingyang City, Gansu Province, and Xunyi, Binxian, Chunhua, Yaoxian, Sanyuan, Tongchuan, Yijun, Huangling, Fuxian, Ganquan, Baoan, Ansai and other counties in Shaanxi Province Dingbian, Jingbian and other 18 counties, tens of thousands of square kilometers of vast territory.

Main attractions

Hero group sculpture. It reflects the scene of revolutionary activities carried out by the masses in the border areas under the leadership of the government. The main artistic images of the group sculptures are created based on Liu Zhidan, chairman of the Military Commission, Xi Zhongxun, chairman of the government, and Zhang Jingwen, founder of Lenin primary school, the first red school in the border region, which reflects the vigorous development of politics, military affairs, culture and education in the border region.

Qingyin building. It used to be a stage in the ancient city of liyuanbao. On November 7, 1934, the celebration meeting of the establishment of the Soviet government in the Shaanxi Gansu border region was held here. Qingyin building was set as the rostrum of the celebration meeting at that time. Liu Zhidan presented the government seal to President Xi Zhongxun on behalf of the people in the border region. He also reviewed the parade team composed of more than 3500 people, including the 26th Red Army, guerrillas and red guards. Therefore, Qingyin building is also called "parade building" by later generations.

Guan Yu Temple. From November 4 to 6, 1934, the Congress of workers, peasants and soldiers of the Shaanxi Gansu border region was held here. The Congress elected the border region government and its leading members.

historical significance

The establishment of the Nanliang Soviet government and the Shaanxi Gansu border revolutionary base with Nanliang as the center provided the foothold for the Party Central Committee and the Red Army in the Long March, provided the starting point for the Eighth Route Army to go north to resist Japan, laid an important foundation for the later development of the Shaanxi Gansu Ningxia border region, played an important role in the history of Chinese revolution, and made great contributions to the victory of the national revolution.

Nanliang, the red hot land of the Northwest Plateau, is a historical important town of the Chinese revolution. The spark stored here for the Communists illuminated the road to victory of the Chinese revolution, and created historic glory for the birth of the Republic. The smoke has gone and the dust has settled. What is left here is the precious spiritual wealth of the Chinese Communists who are not afraid of sacrifice and fight bloody battles for the liberation of the nation and the red mark cast with blood.
