Site of the Daye Military Uprising

　　The Site of the Daye Military Uprising is situated in Chengguan Town, Daye City. It is a four-courtyard brick-and-wood structure with flush gable roofs and upturned eaves, originally constructed in the seventh year of the Daoguang reign of the Qing Dynasty (1827) and renovated in the sixth year of the Tongzhi reign (1867). It served as a late Qing dynasty Confucian school and covers a construction area of 2,500 square meters. In December 1929, Cheng Zihua and others, with the support of the Fifth Column of the Red Fifth Army, led the sensational “Model Daye Uprising.”

　　The Daye Military Uprising was another significant armed revolt by the revolutionary forces of the Chinese Communist Party following the Autumn Harvest Uprising and the Nanchang Uprising. It provides material evidence for the study of the revolutionary struggle history in the border region of Hunan, Hubei, and Jiangxi, particularly in southeastern Hubei, as well as the history of the Workers' and Peasants' Red Army during the Agrarian Revolutionary War.

　　In 2006, it was designated as part of the sixth group of Major Historical and Cultural Sites Protected at the National Level by the State Council.
