Site of the Dingyang Mass Meeting

The Site of the Dingyang Mass Meeting is a classic red tourism destination.

The Site of the Dingyang Mass Meeting is located in Dingyang Natural Village, Xiangshan Village, Yuanzhuang Town, Xianyou County, Putian City.

In the spring of 1934, Luo Yingxiang and Xu Yuqing, leaders of the Xianyou Party and Youth League organizations, held a mass meeting at the ancestral hall in Dingyang, Xiangshan Village, Yuanzhuang, calling on the people to rise up in the struggle against hunger. The meeting was disrupted by local Kuomintang forces during its proceedings and had to be suspended. Luo Yingxiang and Xu Yuqing then shifted to underground resistance.

The Site of the Dingyang Mass Meeting is the ancestral hall in Dingyang, now called Dezheng Hall. It is a single-story earthen and wooden structure, consisting of upper and lower sections, with a total floor area of 160 square meters. The Party History Research Office of the Putian Municipal Committee of the CPC designated it as a protected site in December 2011.
