History Exhibition Hall of China's Democratic Parties

　　The History Exhibition Hall of China's Democratic Parties is situated at No. 1, Jialingqiao East Village, Yuzhong District, Chongqing (northwest of Shangqing Temple Roundabout), with the Te Garden Exhibition Hall to its west. The site was originally Te Garden, one of the key locations where the Chinese Communist Party and various democratic parties carried out activities during and around the War of Resistance against Japan. It served as a historical witness to the implementation of the Party’s policy of the Anti-Japanese National United Front by the Southern Bureau in Chongqing, and also as the birthplace of the China Democratic League.

　　 China’s multi-party cooperation system includes the Communist Party of China and eight democratic parties. The eight democratic parties are the Revolutionary Committee of the Chinese Kuomintang, China Democratic League, China Association for Promoting Democracy, Chinese Peasants’ and Workers’ Democratic Party, China Zhi Gong Party, Jiusan Society, and Taiwan Democratic Self-Government League. Over 70 years later, the history of New China has turned to a brand-new page of achieving moderate prosperity in all respects and building a harmonious society. However, the historical legacy of unity, cooperation, and mutual trust between the Communist Party of China and the democratic parties and non-party individuals still holds great spiritual strength and contemporary value. In order to fully develop and utilize this “spiritual treasure trove,” in March 2004, the United Front Work Department of the CPC Central Committee decided to establish the first “China United Front Traditional Education Base” in Chongqing. Construction began on May 22, 2006, and was completed on June 20, 2007. On April 6, 2007, the United Front Work Department of the CPC Central Committee officially approved the name of the museum, which officially opened on May 12, 2008.
