Jingzhu Mountain

　　-- During the Autumn Harvest Uprising, Mao Zedong led his troops into this area, leaving behind many revolutionary sites, including the former site of the Shuangma Stone Red Army Outpost, and the revolutionary sites of Jingzhu Mountain and Leidashi.

　　-- The scenic area is located in the mid-subtropical zone, with a mild and pleasant climate, high forest coverage, unpolluted air, and environmental protection reaching national first-class standards. Known as a natural oxygen bar, it is an ideal destination for recuperation and leisure.

　　The site where Mao Zedong announced the Three Main Rules of Discipline — Leidashi, is located on Jingzhu Mountain, southwest of Ciping, Jiangxi. This place got its name from a huge rock that was struck by lightning and rolled down the mountain.

　　On October 23, 1927, Comrade Mao Zedong led the troops of the Autumn Harvest Uprising to Jingzhu Mountain, adjacent to Jinggangshan and Ling County. On the morning of the 24th, Mao Zedong climbed onto this large rock by the roadside to brief the troops on the basic situation of Wang Zuo and Jinggangshan. He emphasized that the troops must maintain good relations with the local people and first put forward the Three Rules of Discipline for the Workers’ and Peasants’ Revolutionary Army: First, obey orders in action; second, do not take even one sweet potato from the people; third, all spoils from attacking local tyrants must be turned over to the public. Subsequently, the troops proceeded via Shuangma Stone to enter Dajing Village.

　　In September 1988, the People’s Government of Jinggangshan City designated “Jingzhu Mountain Leidashi” as a municipal-level cultural relics protection unit.

　　As someone who grew up in Jinggangshan, when people mention Jingzhu Mountain, images of deep mountain wildlife and Leidashi immediately come to my mind. Although I’ve never been to Jingzhu Mountain, I feel very close to it, largely due to childhood memories. I still clearly remember how villagers from Jingzhu Mountain excitedly carried a large monkey to the headquarters of Dajing Forest Farm, saying they had captured it at home, attracting us kids to gather around in excitement... That scene remains vivid in my memory even now. As for stories of someone capturing a wild ox or boar, those were things we often heard about. Mysterious and distant — that was my childhood impression of Jingzhu Mountain.

　　As I grew older, I learned more about Jingzhu Mountain. From the trucks loaded with timber and bamboo, I knew it was deep in the mountains; from people going into the mountains to pick wild tea, gather mushrooms, or catch stone frogs, I knew it produced good things; and from locals proudly telling outsiders that Jingzhu Mountain’s Leidashi was where Mao Zedong announced the Three Rules of Discipline, I knew it was truly extraordinary.

　　Later on, as tourism in Jinggangshan flourished and places like Huangyangjie and Longtan became crowded, Jingzhu Mountain seemed forgotten by many. Only in the historical exhibits at the Revolutionary Museum was Jingzhu Mountain’s Leidashi remembered as the birthplace of military discipline, one of the cornerstones of the people’s army. Only below Wuzhi Peak and by the shores of Jinggang Lake did tour guides tell visitors that the reservoir’s water source was Jingzhu Mountain, and that the lake was the lifeblood of the people of Jinggangshan. At such times, Jingzhu Mountain felt like a hidden pearl in the deep mountains, yet to reveal its full brilliance. But as people began to lose interest in the hustle and bustle of flashy scenes, quietly, more and more visitors started coming to Jingzhu Mountain to enjoy rustic and wild flavors, seeking simplicity and a return to nature. And so, Jingzhu Mountain gradually unveiled its mysterious and serene veil.

　　On September 28, 2004, the villagers of Jingzhu Mountain welcomed a joyous occasion: the official groundbreaking of the Leidashi and Jingzhu Mountain Teaching Site Scenic Area under the Jinggangshan Cadre College. Utilizing Jingzhu Mountain’s green resources and red heritage, a new yet ancient Jingzhu Mountain is being created.
