Former Site of the Founding Congress of the Yifeng County Soviet Government

Located in Hujialong, Dianshang Village, Tan Shan Town, Jiangxi Province, the site was originally the ancestral hall of the Zhang family. In late March 1931, the founding meeting of the Yifeng County Soviet Government was held here. The hall is surrounded by high brick walls designed to contain fire, featuring a five-bay width and two-bay depth.

The front part is a porch, the middle an open courtyard, and the rear consists of a main hall and sleeping quarters, with auxiliary rooms and a well nearby. It remains well-preserved today.

Dianshang Village: Also known as Lotus Village, Dianshang Village is located north of Tan Shan Town. To the east, it connects with Qiancao and Tan Shan villages as well as Donggang in Tianbao Township; to the west, it borders Longgang and Pingshang; to the south, it adjoins Tan Shan and Fuxi; and to the north, it lies next to Longgang. The village office is situated in Dianshang, at an elevation of 102 meters, approximately 1.5 kilometers from the town government. The terrain slopes from the northeast to the southwest.

This village has the highest number of ancient stone bridges in the area, most built in the early Ming Dynasty. Along the approximately 4-kilometer-long ancient Jinsha River, ten historic stone bridges are preserved, including the Zhenliangjia Rice Market Bridge and the Houfang Amitabha Bridge, which date back to the late Song and early Yuan dynasties, and the Zhangjia Bridge, built during the early to mid-Ming Dynasty.
