Jinggangshan Meeting Memorial Hall

Jinggangshan Meeting Memorial Hall

The Jinggangshan Meeting Memorial Hall is a classic red tourism destination.

The Jinggangshan Meeting Memorial Hall is a thematic memorial museum. Construction began in 1997, and it was completed and officially opened to the public on May 4, 1980. The museum covers an area of 6,789 square meters, with a building area of 3,827 square meters and a main building area of 1,827 square meters. It is integrated with the nationally key cultural relics protection unit “Site of the Meeting between Mao Zedong and Zhu De – Longjiang Academy.” The entire museum consists of one prelude room, five exhibition halls, and a calligraphy corridor. The exhibits mainly showcase the history of Mao Zedong leading the Autumn Harvest Uprising forces from the Hunan-Jiangxi border region to the middle section of the Luoxiao Mountains, establishing the Jinggangshan Revolutionary Base, and the victorious meeting of Zhu De, Chen Yi, and others—who led the remaining troops of the Nanchang Uprising and peasant armies from the Southern Hunan Uprising—with Mao Zedong’s forces in Longshi (formerly Ninggang), leading to the founding of the Fourth Red Army. It also depicts the arduous process of the Fifth Red Army, led by Peng Dehuai and Teng Daiyuan, joining the Fourth Red Army in Xincheng (formerly Ninggang). The plaque of the “Jinggangshan Meeting Memorial Hall” was inscribed by Comrade Tan Zhenlin.

The Jinggangshan Meeting Memorial Hall boasts a rich collection of cultural relics. In addition to the over 100 items displayed in the exhibition halls, the relic storage houses more than 50 first-, second-, and third-grade relics, as well as over a thousand relics pending classification. The memorial manages more than ten national key cultural relics protection units, including the “Mao Zedong’s Former Residence at Bayi Tower, Site of the First Congress of the CPC Hunan-Jiangxi Border Committee, Site of the Soldiers’ Committee (including Chen Yi’s Former Residence), Former Site of the Maoping Red Army Hospital, Site of the Former Front Committee and Special Committee, Site of the Meeting between Zhu and Mao (including the Former Site of the Red Army Training Unit), Site of the Founding Army Square, Site of the Ancient City Conference, and Site of the Bailu Conference,” as well as two provincial-level cultural relics protection units—the “Former Site of the Fourth Red Army Headquarters at Yangqiaohu” and the “Former Site of the First Division Headquarters of the First Army of the Workers’ and Peasants’ Revolutionary Army at Yangqiaohu”—and over 60 municipal-level or lower cultural relics protection units. These revolutionary relics collectively reflect the heroic struggles and glorious history of veteran proletarian revolutionaries such as Mao Zedong, Zhu De, Chen Yi, and Peng Dehuai during the Jinggangshan period.

Over the past twenty-plus years since its opening, the Jinggangshan Meeting Memorial Hall has received nearly two million domestic and international visitors. More than twenty military and civilian institutions and departments—including the National Defense University, China Federation of Literary and Art Circles, Zhejiang University, Shanghai Baosteel Group, National University of Defense Technology, Nanjing Political College, Shanghai Zhongshan Hospital, Nanchang Army Command College, and Jiangxi Medical College—have established patriotic and revolutionary tradition education bases at the museum. In 1994, the Jiangxi Provincial Party Committee and Government designated the “Jinggangshan Meeting Memorial Hall” as a provincial-level patriotic education base. In June 1997, the Publicity Department of the CPC Central Committee announced that sites under the memorial’s administration—including “Bayi Tower,” “Longjiang Academy,” and “Founding Army Square”—are national patriotic education demonstration bases.

The Jinggangshan Meeting Memorial Hall currently has 22 staff members and includes functional departments such as the Mass Work Department, Exhibition, Documentation, and Maintenance Department, and Administrative Office (including the Security Group). Comprehensive management systems, work regulations, and job responsibility systems have been established and improved. The museum has essentially achieved standardized and institutionalized management and has been awarded honors such as “Civilized Unit” and “Dual-Civilization Window” in recent years.
