Red Army Review Stand

Red Army Review Stand

The Red Army Review Stand is a National Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit, a classic red tourism attraction, and a patriotic education base.

The Red Army Review Stand was initially built in November 1931 to serve as a reviewing platform for the Red Army in preparation for the First National Congress of the Chinese Soviet Republic. At that time, it was a simple makeshift stand constructed from bamboo and wood.

On the morning of November 7, 1931, before the opening of the All-China Soviet Congress, a military parade was held here, during which leaders such as Mao Zedong and - reviewed the Red Army.

On the 19th, the Congress also honored Red Army units and commanders who had achieved outstanding military success in various battles. The First, Second, Third, Fourth, Sixth, Seventh, Tenth, Twelfth, and Sixteenth Armies of the Red Army, as well as the Third Red Army Corps, were each awarded a red flag, and eight commanders including Mao Zedong, - and Peng Dehuai were each presented with a medal. The historical photos currently hanging on the stand authentically record the scene of the Red Army review in those years. In 1933, the Provisional Central Government decided to rebuild the Review Stand. The construction was overseen by the Preparatory Committee for the Second National Congress of the Chinese Soviet Republic, designed by Qian Zhuangfei, with Liang Botai serving as the engineering supervisor. Work began on August 1 and was completed on January 31, 1934. The original bamboo and wood structure was replaced with a brick-and-wood structure. The stand became a venue for speeches, - and cultural performances.

In October 1934, after the main forces of the Red Army embarked on the Long March, the Red Army Review Stand was demolished by the reactionary Kuomintang, leaving only ruins. In 1955, the state restored the stand to its original appearance. On March 4, 1961, it was designated as a National Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit by the State Council.
