Site of the First Farmers' Association of Huaxian County

The site of the First Farmers' Association of Huaxian County is a cultural relics protection unit of Guangzhou City.

The site of the First Farmers' Association of Huaxian County is located within the Ancestral Hall of the Wang Clan (commonly known as Xiancheng Hall) in Jiuhu Village, Huadong Town, Huadu District.

In 1923, the Guangdong Provincial Committee of the Communist Party of China sent Peng Pai and Ruan Xiaoxian to Huaxian County to guide the farmers' movement. On October 19, 1924, the Huaxian County Farmers' Association was established in the Wang Clan Ancestral Hall, and the first Farmers' Representative Assembly of Huaxian County was held here. Wang Fusan was elected as the Deputy Executive Committee Director of the Assembly's Executive Committee (the position of Executive Committee Director was temporarily vacant), as well as the Executive Committee Director of the Second District Farmers' Association. The assembly passed two resolutions: implementing a "25%" rent reduction and organizing a farmers' self-defense army, and also formulated membership guidelines and the charter of the Farmers' Association. In 1925, due to attacks by local militias, the Huaxian County Farmers' Association relocated to Xunfeng Book House at Yuge Village (now part of Sanfeng Village) in Jiuhu Township, operating jointly with the Jiuhu Township Farmers' Association.

In 2002, the site of the First Farmers' Association of Huaxian County was designated as a cultural relics protection unit of Guangzhou City.
