Cultural details

Sun Yat-sen led the Anti-Qing Uprising

Bazhaigou is the "outpost" of Mount Ma Shikou ("corpse" Bao "mouth"). Ma Shikou Mountain is an important peak among the 100,000 mountains, which is closely linked with the Bajiao Mountain in Bazhaigou. In modern times, the famous uprising of Mashikou Mountain in Qinzhou (historically known as the Battle of Qin Lian Shansi) took place here. On March 27, 1908, following Sun Yat-sen's instructions to "re-enter Qinlian in order to gather the local comrades", Huang Xing led more than 200 members of the alliance and the Qinzhou People's Army of the overseas Chinese in Vietnam to form the South Army of the Chinese National Army, which entered Mt. Ma Shikou from Vietnam, and launched another armed uprising after receiving the Ordnance provided by Feng Liberty and others of the Hong Kong League. Huang Xing led the team to take advantage of the victory and occupy Ma Shenkou Mountain in Qinzhou. The Revolutionary Army has a quick succession of battles and expanded its ranks to more than 600 people.

Sun Yat-sen was very happy to hear about the uprising. He wrote to Deng Zeru, president of the Overseas Alliance Association, and spoke highly of the uprising in Mashikou Mountain, Qinzhou.

revolutionary base

In March 1944, Lu Wen was transferred to the post of Special Commissioner of Qinxian County of the Communist Party of China. In June, the Special Committee of the South Road of the Communist Party of China held an expanded meeting and decided to strengthen the leadership of the armed struggle, establish an independent armed force led by the Party, organize secret armed work teams and guerrilla groups in the Kuomintang-ruled areas, and arrange the counties to prepare for the armed uprising against Japan. In November, in order to prepare for guerrilla warfare, Qinxian Party organizations established two working areas in 100,000 mountainous areas: Ludong District is under the responsibility of Lin Guoxing and Luxi District is under the responsibility of Zhou Caiye. The main strongholds of Luxi District are Dunmin, Nasang, Nahuang (near Bazhaigou) and Naluo (near Guitai). In January 1945, Lu Wen held a meeting of Party members in Liushrimp Village, Bancheng, to convey and study the preparations for the uprising. After the meeting, Wang Xulin, Zhong Xiquan returned to Guitai and Dongli organized Shangsi Revolutionary Forces. On February 17, under the leadership of Lu Wen and Zhu Shougang, more than 150 people of the Qinxian People's Anti-Japanese Liberation Army held an armed uprising in Xiaodong. The uprising was a turning point for the CCP organizations in Qinxian County to shift from underground secret activities to open armed struggle.
