Site of the Former County Peasants' Association General Headquarters and the Former Students' Association Headquarters in Zijin County

The site of the former County Peasants' Association General Headquarters and the former Students' Association Headquarters in Zijin County is a cultural heritage site protected by Zijin County and a classic red tourism attraction.

The site of the former County Peasants' Association General Headquarters and the former Students' Association Headquarters in Zijin County is located within the Ye Family Ancestral Hall on Dongzha Street, Yong'an Neighborhood Committee, Zicheng Town, Zijin County.

In July 1923, the first Peasants' Congress of Zijin County was held in Paizi (Soviet Area), leading to the establishment of the County Peasants' Association General Headquarters. In April 1925, following the victory of the First Eastern Expedition, the County Peasants' Association General Headquarters relocated here to operate. Around the time of the May Fourth Movement, a group of young students from Zijin, represented by Liu ErSong, who had been exposed to Marxism in Guangzhou, returned to Zijin County. They established the Student Federation at the Ye Family Ancestral Hall in the county town, where they studied and promoted Marxism, which helped advance the workers' and peasants' revolutionary movement in Zijin.

The Ye Family Ancestral Hall was originally built in the late Ming Dynasty, facing southeast and situated northwest. It was renovated in 2003 according to its original layout. The structure has three bays and three courtyards, is 8.8 meters wide and 24.1 meters deep, covering an area of 212 square meters. It features a purlin and gable wall construction, a flush-gable roof, yellow glazed tiles, and exterior ceramic tile cladding. The front facade has two round stone columns with a couplet carved on them, above which are beams and bracket sets (dougu) all engraved with auspicious patterns. Inside the main gate is a wooden screen, and the rear courtyard houses an ancestral shrine.

In June 1987, it was designated as a Key Cultural Relics Protection Unit by the Zijin County Government.
