Former Site of the Headquarters of the Central Independent Second Red Army Division

　　   The former site of the Headquarters of the Central Independent Second Red Army Division, located in Yuexi County, has recently been rated as a 3A-level tourist attraction by the Provincial Tourism Attraction Quality Rating Committee.

　　　　     This historical site is a provincial-level key cultural relic protection unit. It was originally a well-preserved ancient ancestral hall. In the 1930s, a famous peasant revolution—the Qianshuizhai Uprising—took place in the Tian Tang area of Yuexi. The uprising led to the establishment of the Qianshan Revolutionary Army of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, which was later renamed successively as the Qianshan Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army, the 34th Division of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, and eventually the Central Independent Second Red Army Division. Thanks to its strategic location and well-preserved condition, this ancestral hall became the headquarters of this revolutionary army.

　　　　     In recent years, Yuexi County has intensified efforts to protect ancient architecture. Investment has been made to renovate this historical site, where exhibitions such as the “Exhibition on the Life and Deeds of Wang Buwen,” “Historical Exhibition of the Headquarters of the Independent Second Division,” “Photo Exhibition of Ancient Architecture in Yuexi,” and “Folk Customs of the Dabie Mountains” have been successively opened, making it a new highlight for tourism in Yuexi and a new base for patriotic education.
