Former Site of the First CPC Zhenghe Branch

　　Former Site of the First CPC Zhenghe Branch — A provincial-level key cultural relics protection unit, located in Fengtou Village, Dongping Town. In 1928, Communist Party member Yang Zeshi was secretly dispatched back to his hometown of Fengtou to carry out revolutionary activities. He organized a "reading club," trained activists, and developed party members. In July 1929, Yang Zeshi presided over a meeting at the Yang Family Ancestral Hall, officially establishing the CPC Zhenghe Branch, with Yang serving as secretary. The Yang Family Ancestral Hall, originally built in the 19th year of the Guangxu reign during the Qing Dynasty (1893), consists of one main hall and thirteen rooms, covering an area of 760 square meters. It displays the deeds of 17 revolutionary martyrs including Yang Zeshi, the monument commemorating the site of the former CPC Zhenghe Branch, a memorial room for revolutionary relics, a topographic map of the Jian-Song-Zheng border region, as well as more than ten items such as handwritten notes and inscriptions by revolutionary figures like Yang Zeshi and Chen Guifang, over 20 revolutionary cultural relics, 47 historical photos related to the revolution, and more than 20 inscriptions by central and provincial leaders, all of which hold significant documentary and commemorative value. The county party committee and county government have designated the birthplace of the First Branch, the "Yang Family Ancestral Hall," as a memorial hall and listed it as a county-level patriotic education base.
