Former Site of the Red Fourth Army Headquarters in Zhennxia

The former site of the Red Fourth Army Headquarters in Zhennxia is a cultural relic protection unit of Xunwu County.

The former site of the Red Fourth Army Headquarters and Political Department in Zhennxia is located in Zhennxia Village, Jitan Town, Xunwu County. Originally built in the third year of the Wanli reign during the Ming Dynasty (1557), it was initially the Zhennxia Wenchang Pavilion. On January 14, 1929, Mao Zedong, Zhu De, and others led the Red Fourth Army down from Jinggangshan to establish revolutionary bases in southern Jiangxi and western Fujian. They arrived at Zhennxia Village on February 1 and set up camp there. The Red Fourth Army’s headquarters and political department were stationed here, and Mao Zedong, Chen Yi, Tan Zhenlin, Jiang Hua, and others also lived here. In the early hours of February 2, Mao Zedong directed the Red Fourth Army to respond calmly to battle, successfully breaking free from a surprise attack and encirclement by pursuing enemy forces, and escaped safely to Luofuzhang.

In August 2012, the People's Government of Xunwu County designated it as a fifth-batch county-level cultural relic protection unit.
