brief introduction

It is like a very beautiful gouache painting, depicting beauty, gentleness and charm quietly.

On May 5, 2006, Huashang daily, led by Wei Guoyou, walked for nearly three hours to Tianpeng village. Then, on May 6, Huashang Daily reported "Tianpeng Shanzhai" with a full page picture and text, which was also the first time that Tianpeng Shanzhai was released outside the mountain, at home and around the world.

From the west gate of Tianpeng village to the top of Yintai mountain, there are 96 cave villages in four counties of two provinces. It is located at the junction of Shaanxi Province and Hubei Province, and also at the intersection of Shanyang County, Zhen'an County, Zhashui County and Yunxi county. In ancient times, there was a lookout at the top of the mountain, and there were blue, black, red and white flags. If there is a mountain stronghold or cave burning with smoke, the mountain top behind Tianpeng mountain stronghold will also be burning with smoke. Red flag will be set up to let other mountain strongholds take precautions. Green flag will be set up to let surrounding mountain strongholds support.

Although many mountain villages are on the top of the high mountain, there is a well beside each mountain village, which is not dry all the year round. This is also the "how high the mountain is and how high the water is" that local people often take pride in. Qingliang village has two gates, Jingmen and Shengmen.

Tiankengliang in the east of Tianpeng mountain stronghold is next to the confluence of Qianjin River and Huashui River, with dangerous mountains on three sides. Only one side of Tianpeng mountain stronghold is more convenient to pass. Since ancient times, it has been a place easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are many relics of garrison building. On December 25, 1934, the 25th army of the Red Army entered jiujiawan of this county, incorporated the local "red spear Association" headed by Ruan Kaike, and organized it as the ninth guerrilla division in the Hubei Shaanxi border region. Ruan Kaike was appointed as the division commander, and Li Hongzhang, a cadre of the Red Army, was appointed as the political commissar, with 52 long and short guns. With Tangjiahe as the center, the ninth division fought against local tyrants in the mountainous areas along the border of Shaanxi and Hubei, and divided their fortunes. The team soon expanded to more than 1000 people. He also cooperated with the main forces to defeat more than 400 AI Guangqing Baojia soldiers in siyukou, annihilated a battalion of Xiao Zhichu, the 44th division of the Kuomintang army, and joined the fifth route guerrilla division to defeat Han Zifang regiment, the second guard brigade of the 17th Route Army of Yang Hucheng. Before long, Ruan Kaike's personal desires sprouted, his family wealth gradually increased, his life was free and loose, and he was not subject to military discipline. He often led a small number of close friends to take advantage of his private affairs. Li Hongzhang, the political commissar of the division, criticized him and resented him. Later, because of a dispute over the issue of raising army supplies, Ruan immediately killed Li heinian. On the evening of June 9, 24, Ruan sent someone to shoot Li Hongzhang, and cut his head to the county to ask for merit and rebel against the revolution. Most of tiankengliang barracks have been destroyed. Even the two pools of water in the previous two craters have dried up. In the past, the two pools were rich and beautiful, and the fish could jump from one pool to another.

In the south of Tianpeng village, there are houyin village, dianyazi village and other important villages. From houyin village, which is not far west along leng'an road in Yangdi Town, you can see the black wall by the side of the road. In early February 1935, the CPC Hubei Shaanxi special committee and Hubei Shaanxi guerrilla headquarters were established in dianyazi, Shanyang County. Guo Shushen served as secretary of the special committee and political commissar of the guerrilla headquarters, and Chen xianrui served as commander. In March, Guo Shushen was transferred back to the military headquarters, and Dai Jiying took over as secretary and political commissar of the special committee; in June, Dai Jiying was transferred back to the military headquarters, and Zheng Weisan took over. Under the leadership of the CPC Hubei Henan Shaanxi Provincial Committee, the Hubei Shaanxi special committee has jurisdiction over the CPC Zhen'an County Committee and the CPC five-star County Committee. Its main activities are in the border areas of Zhen'an, Shanyang, Zhashui, Xunyang and Yunxi counties in Hubei Province. Under the jurisdiction of the Hubei Shaanxi command, there are six guerrilla divisions and the combat battalion of the Hubei Shaanxi guerrilla command, including the 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th and 9th routes. In September 1935, the Hubei Shaanxi special committee and the Henan Shaanxi special committee merged to form the CPC Southern Shaanxi Special Committee (later known as the Hubei Henan Shaanxi special committee). In the same year, the Hubei Shaanxi guerrilla headquarters merged with the Henan Shaanxi guerrilla division to form the 74th division of the Chinese workers' and peasants' Red Army. Standing on the mountain ridge of erliwan, you can see from afar that Baita village, which is located among Donglong mountain, Laozhai village and catering village, stands upright and magnificent.

In the west of Tianpeng village, there are diamond village, Sunjiagou village, East and West Village, etc. Baita village was built by Shanyang, Zhenan maojia and Zhangjia families in the late Ming Dynasty, together with the local people to avoid the Bailian religious army. At first, it was called Xinzhai. In the early years of the Republic of China, it was changed into Baita village. The planning and design of the village is very unique. According to the orientation of the north facing south, the south gate covers the second floor gate in the front, the back door faces north, and there are two gates in the middle. There is a king's pedestrian road in the middle. There are 108 defensive holes in the upper part, 36 sentry holes in the middle, and 28 big eyes in the lower part. Due to the limitation of the terrain, the Baita village is oval in shape in front and back. Different from other stockaded villages, there is a solid isolation stone wall at the back foot of the stockaded village, and a small room is set up for the old, the weak, the sick and the disabled, and women to sit in confinement. There are three auditoriums in the front stockaded village, four halls for the soldiers, five three storey houses in the middle stockaded village, and four small armories at the bottom of the back hall. On January 4, 1935, after the Red Army 25 led by Cheng Zihua, Xu Haidong and Chen xianrui attacked Zhen'an County, they immediately sent the Red Army working group to announce the establishment of the Hubei Henan Shaanxi revolutionary base in baitazhai. In February of the next year, they announced the establishment of the Zhen'an Soviet government, and sent six Red Army working groups to organize and mobilize the poor people in erliwan, huashuihe, shiyuanzi and baitawan, which set off a vigorous campaign; The movement of "fighting against local tyrants" and "dividing the fields among farmers" was launched. On February 14, commander Chen xianrui held a meeting of 1000 people in Huashui River, solemnly announced the establishment of the CPC Zhen'an County Party committee and the Soviet people's Government of Zhen'an County. 420 mu of land and 57 houses confiscated from the landlords were distributed to the local poor people. He won the first land revolution in Zhen'an and was highly praised by the central leadership. On May 8, 1935, Pang troops of the 40th army of the national name party suddenly besieged the Soviet government base of Baita station in Tianhan, taking advantage of the lack of water. More than 310 guerrillas on the base of Baita station were resourceful and courageous, and adopted the operational plan of quick breakthrough and withdrawal. Pangbu, a vicious man, took advantage of dianyazi's commanding height and used cannons to build the red paper white pagoda village. Six guerrillas, including Zhang Yongsheng and Zhu Qiyou, died at the gate of xizhaimen. The guerrilla Ma Depu was captured and killed in erliwan. Later, after the 25th army went north to resist Japan, the local guerrilla division members around Baita village continued to organize and expand the local armed forces and carry out revolutionary activities.

There are Shuanghuan village and Qingliang village in the north of Tianpeng village. Shuanghuan village, located in Songchuan, is only a few hundred meters away from each other. It can support each other in time. It is the best of these mountain villages.

These cottages, in many people's minds, are world-class cultural heritage.
