Former Site of the Red Third Army Corps Revolutionary Base

　　The Former Site of the Red Third Army Corps Revolutionary Base is located in Liurenba Village, Liurenba Town, Daye City, and was originally a residential house. The site consists of a three-section, single-entry structure built with brick and wood in a flush-gable style. The building’s façade imitates Western classical architectural forms, and the total construction area is 2,394 square meters. It is a group of late Qing Dynasty buildings that blend Chinese and Western styles.

　　In May 1930, the main force of the Red Fifth Army arrived in southeastern Hubei and joined forces with the Red Fifth Column. In early June, the Red Fifth Column was expanded into the Eighth Army. In mid-June, an enlarged meeting of the Red Fifth Army Military Commission was held in Liurenba Village. The meeting decided to establish the Third Red Army Corps, which did not include the Red Fifth Army or the Red Eighth Army.

　　The former headquarters site of the Red Third Army Corps is an important physical relic for studying the formation process of the First Front Army, one of the three main forces of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army.

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