　　Former Residence of Mao Zedong in Dajing. On October 24, 1927, after Mao Zedong led the troops of the Autumn Harvest Uprising to Dajing Village, Wang Zuo, the leader of the local peasant militia, voluntarily vacated his military camp — a house known as the "White House" with white walls and blue tiles — for Mao Zedong and the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army to live in. Mao Zedong stayed in the east wing room of this house. The building had previously served as a medical station for the Red Army hospital. Peng Dehuai, Teng Daiyuan, and others also lived and worked here.

　　In late January 1929, - forces launched the third "encirclement and suppression" against the Jinggangshan revolutionary base, burning down all the houses in Dajing Village. Only a section of the remaining wall of the "White House," a large rock where Mao Zedong used to sit and read newspapers, and two evergreen trees behind the house where Mao often watched the Red Army training under the trees were left. In 1960, when the people of Jinggangshan restored the former residence of Mao Zedong in Dajing to its original appearance, they embedded the preserved wall remnants into the new wall as a historical witness. They also carefully fertilized and cultivated the two surviving evergreen trees behind the house, and protected the rock where Mao used to sit, naming it the "Reading Stone."
