Former Site of the Meeting of the Front Committee of the Hunan-Hubei-Jiangxi Soviet

　　    It is situated on Lower Huatai Street, Laowuji, Zhonglu Town, Lichuan City. In December 1928, He Long led his troops to Lichuan, where he joined forces with Yang Weifan, Secretary of the (En)shi-(He)feng Sub-bureau of the Chinese Communist Party. A joint meeting was held here, during which the “Front Committee of the Hunan-Western Soviet” was renamed the “Front Committee of the Hunan-Hubei-Jiangxi Soviet,” with He Long as the secretary. The site was originally the Temple of Lord Zhang, first built in the Qing Dynasty and reconstructed in the early Republican period. It consists of a main hall flanked by two wings, covering a construction area of 700 square meters. The central hall has four rows and three bays, with a depth of 7.7 meters and a width of 14 meters. It features a flush-gable roof and wooden structure. This site is an important physical testament to the development of the Hunan-Hubei-Jiangxi Revolutionary Base Area. (Fifth Batch)
