The former site of the government of workers, peasants and soldiers in Chaling county is the birthplace of the first red regime in China. It is located in Sanjiaoping, Qianjin village, Chengguan Town, Chaling County. It was originally a prefecture (county) government office from the Southern Song Dynasty to the Qing Dynasty. It was built at the end of the middle of the Southern Song Dynasty, covering an area of more than 18000 square meters and a construction area of 4975 square meters. There are the head gate, the instrument gate, the archway, the hall, the second hall, the third hall, the house, the inner house, the back garden and so on. There are six departments in the building, including officials, households, rites, soldiers, punishment and workers. The blue brick and grey tile, the column square purlin, the painting building cornice, the towering horse head wall, belong to the Huizhou architectural style, which fully demonstrates the beauty of Chinese architectural art and Oriental aesthetic art.

The former site of the government of workers, peasants and soldiers in Chaling county is an important scenic spot in the eighth of the 30 excellent routes of red tourism in China. In November 1927, after the workers' and peasants' revolutionary army conquered Chaling County for the second time, according to Mao Zedong's instructions, the first county-level red political power in Chinese history, the workers' and peasants' army government of Chaling County, was founded here. It was destroyed in the war in 1928.

In December 2016, the former site of the government of workers, peasants and soldiers in Chaling County was listed in the list of national Red Tourism classic scenic spots.

Historical evolution

Since 2005, Chaling County has invested nearly 20 million yuan in the comprehensive restoration of the former site of the government of workers, peasants and soldiers in accordance with the principle of "repairing the old as the old" and restoring the history, enriched the exhibition contents of the exhibition hall, built a tourist service center, completed the construction of greening facilities in the old site with high standards, formed a simple, elegant and leisurely garden style, and greatly improved the grade of scenic spots.

Chaling County workers, peasants and soldiers government is the first county-level workers, peasants and soldiers regime established by the Chinese revolution and Jinggangshan revolutionary base. It is a great attempt to establish the revolutionary regime in Jinggangshan revolutionary base. It is a bold practice and exploration of Mao Zedong on the construction of China's red regime, and has created a brilliant example for the armed political construction in the future. Edgar Snow, a famous American journalist, quoted Chairman Mao's original words in his book a journey to the west, saying that "the first red regime in China was established in Chaling County in the southeast of Hunan Province". CCTV's special program "Jinggangshan" on October 27, 1997 introduced that "the red regime in the Jinggangshan base area, the red regime in the Central Soviet Area, and even today's Zhongnanhai State Council all came out of the hut on the waterfront of Jinggangshan.". After the establishment of the government of workers, peasants and soldiers in Chaling County, Mao Zedong instructed Wan Xi to give five guns to the Party committee of Chaling County and the government of workers, peasants and soldiers in order to establish and develop the local armed forces in Chaling County. Tan Zhenlin and others immediately organized a picket team to give each member a armband. In addition to normal work, they gathered at night to be responsible for contacting and maintaining order in the city. Led by the picket team, red guards and riot teams in the countryside were established and developed one after another; women's associations, children's groups and other organizations were also established one after another. On the one hand, the workers' and peasants' revolutionary army fought to eliminate the enemy; on the other hand, it fought local tyrants to raise money, publicize the masses, organize the masses, and arm the masses, which made the tea mausoleum full of spears and red flags, forming a more upsurge of revolution than in the great revolution.

The establishment of the government of workers, peasants and soldiers in Chaling County made the enemy hate it to the bone. Under the planning of the big landlords Tan Shaoxu and Luo Zhaopeng, they armed more than 300 people with guns in Gaolong. They started from the waist slope to Chaling County and gathered on the mountain of dingning temple. Tan Zhenlin immediately commanded the pickets and red guards, one of them ambushed on the right flank of the enemy in dingning temple, and the other crossed the Gaolong River and bypassed the left flank of the enemy. After the workers' and peasants' Revolutionary Army started fighting with the enemy, the pickets and red guards ambushed on the left and right wings suddenly killed more than 20 enemy soldiers, seized more than 20 rifles and smashed the enemy's first attack. After the war, the government of workers, peasants and soldiers held a grand victory congratulation meeting in Laijiang Academy. After the meeting, a demonstration was held to strengthen the revolutionary momentum. After the defeat of this reactionary landlord force, the remnant enemy, together with Luo Ding, head of the security regiment in eastern Hunan, attacked Chaling again in two ways. Tan Zhenlin immediately organized the workers' picket team and the Chiwei brigade to cooperate with the workers' and peasants' revolutionary army to fight against the enemy. First, he concentrated his forces to defeat the landlords' armed forces of Tan Shaoxu and Luo Zhaopeng. Then he put his main force on the yingpanling mountain, kept aloof, locked the pass of Hongsha temple, and controlled the main road of Luoding attacking Chaling from Guxian county. Under the command of Tan Zhenlin, the peasant self-defense forces who came to support from various townships set up suspicious soldiers on the four mountain tops, and used fir trees as "guns". When the enemy came to Chaling, the trumpets sounded everywhere on the mountain top, and our army attacked together, killing more than 100 enemies and handing in more than 100 guns. The second victory congratulation meeting held by the government of workers, peasants and soldiers was even more enthusiastic, and the townships sent many consolation articles to the war participants. The practice of establishing the first government of workers, peasants and soldiers in Chaling County, on the one hand, provided experience for building the revolutionary army of workers, peasants and soldiers into an armed force carrying out revolutionary political tasks under the leadership of the proletarian party; on the other hand, it also provided experience for establishing the revolutionary regime. Therefore, the establishment of the government of workers, peasants and soldiers in Suichuan, Yongxin and other counties was relatively smooth and successful. As the famous American journalist Edgar Snow wrote in his journey to the West: "since the founding of China's first Soviet in November 1927 in Chaling, Southeast Hunan Province..." In 1997, CCTV's Jinggangshan special program introduced that "the red regime in the Jinggangshan revolutionary base, the red regime in the Central Soviet revolutionary base, and even today's Zhongnanhai State Council all came out of the cottage on the shore of the river (the former site of the government of workers, peasants and soldiers in Chaling County)".
