Former Site of the Eyuwan Provincial Committee Meeting in Yugouhe

　　The former site of the Eyuwan Provincial Committee Meeting in Yugouhe is located on Yugouhe Street, more than 40 kilometers north of Danfeng County. On December 10, 1934, the Eyuwan Provincial Committee of the Chinese Communist Party, along with the 25th Army of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, entered Shaanxi from Henan and held the 18th meeting of the Provincial Committee Standing Committee in the main room of the traditional Chinese medicine shop owned by Yang Chunrong on Yugouhe Street. The meeting was chaired by Xu Baoshan, Secretary of the Provincial Committee, and attended by Cheng Zihua, Wu Huanxian, Xu Haidong, and others. The meeting decided to establish the Eyuwan Revolutionary Base Area. After the meeting, a number of district and township Soviet governments were established in Danfeng County, including Liyuancha, Sunjiashan, and Longjuzhai, and a vigorous campaign of "overthrowing local tyrants and distributing land" was carried out. This meeting site has been well preserved to this day. The original Yang family pharmacy is now run by Yang Wenchun, son of Yang Chunrong. The former meeting site has been turned into an exhibition room.

　　On Qiliyin Ridge at the back street of Yugouhe, about 40 kilometers north of Danfeng County, at noon on December 10, 1934, while the Eyuwan Provincial Committee meeting was in session, the 60th Division of the Nationalist Army suddenly attacked from Jitou Pass and occupied the high ground at Qiliyin Ridge. Cheng Zihua, Commander of the 25th Red Army, and Deputy Commander Xu Haidong immediately went to the front line to direct the counterattack. A total of over 300 enemy soldiers were killed or wounded, while the Red Army also suffered more than 100 casualties. Both the commander and deputy commander were seriously wounded. This was the largest battle fought by the Red Army in Danfeng County. In 1984, the Danfeng County Committee and County Government of the Chinese Communist Party invited Guo Shushen, a member of the Eyuwan Provincial Committee of the CCP and Director of the Political Department of the 25th Red Army, to inscribe the “Yugouhe Battle Monument,” which was erected at the battle site on Qiliyin Ridge, north of Yugouhe Street, amidst overlapping hills and lush flowers and trees. A four-cornered monument pavilion was also built, with the inscription carved in white marble from the area. The monument is 1.7 meters high and 0.7 meters wide.
