Longyuan Kou Bridge

　　    Longyuan Kou is situated in the southern part of Yongxin, 20 kilometers from the county town, neighboring the site of the Sanwan Reorganization and the hometown of He Zizhen. On June 23, 1928, Mao Zedong led the Fourth Red Army to repel three regiments of the Jiangxi Army, which were attacking the Jinggangshan Revolutionary Base, back to the vicinity of Longyuan Kou Bridge. They annihilated one regiment, achieving a victory with fewer troops against greater numbers — the “Great Victory at Longyuan Kou.” As the saying went, “With just one-third of the Red Army’s strength, we defeated Jiangxi’s Two Rams (Yang Chisheng and Yang Ruxuan).” The obverse side of the three-yuan banknote issued by the People’s Bank of China in the 1950s features an image of the single-arch bridge at Longyuan Kou. Nearby also stands the Monument to the Victory at Longyuan Kou, inscribed with calligraphy personally written by Mao Zedong.
