Former Site of the Jian-Song-Zheng Soviet Government

　　The Former Site of the Jian-Song-Zheng Soviet Government is a provincial-level key cultural relic protection unit, located in Xibiao Village, Dongping Town. It was originally the ancestral hall of the Wei family in Xibiao Village, covering an area of approximately 260 square meters. In mid-August 1934, the 58th Regiment of the 21st Division of the Seventh Red Army Corps, led by Commander Huang Ligui and Political Commissar Chen Yi, advanced into the Jian (’ou)–Song (xi)–Zheng (he) region, directly striking Dongping Town and establishing a vast base area. In early September, a mass meeting of the Jian-Song-Zheng border area was held in the Wei family ancestral hall in Xibiao Village, where the establishment of the Jian-Song-Zheng Revolutionary Committee was announced, with Yang Shunli, a leader of the local peasant movement, serving as chairman. Later that month, a grand Soviet Congress was convened in Fengchi Village, proclaiming the founding of the Jian-Song-Zheng Soviet Government. This initiated comprehensive land reform movements across areas including Dongping in Zhenghe, Luqiao and Meikou in Songxi, Jiangdi, Long’an, and Shuibu in Shuiji, as well as Shuibei and Haocun in Pucheng, greatly advancing the victorious progress of the revolutionary war. The Soviet Government governed seven Soviet districts and over 500 villages with a population of more than 9,000, making it one of the important revolutionary bases in northern Fujian. The site is now listed as a Revolutionary History Education Base of Zhenghe County.
