Red Army Review Stand

　　The Red Army Review Stand was initially built in November 1931 to review the Red Army in preparation for the First National Congress of the Chinese Soviet Republic. At that time, it was a simple temporary platform made of bamboo and wood.

　　On the morning of November 7, 1931, before the opening of the Congress, a military parade was held here. Leaders including Mao Zedong reviewed the Red Army from the platform.

　　On the 19th, the Congress also awarded medals and flags to Red Army units and commanders who had demonstrated outstanding performance in various battles. The First, Second, Third, Fourth, Sixth, Seventh, Tenth, Twelfth, and Sixteenth Armies, as well as the Third Red Army Corps, each received a red flag, and eight commanders including Mao Zedong were each awarded a medal. The historical photos now hanging on the stand authentically record the scene of the Red Army review at that time. In 1933, the Provisional Central Government decided to rebuild the Review Stand. The construction was overseen by the Preparatory Committee for the Second National Congress of the Chinese Soviet Republic, designed by Qian Zhuangfei, and supervised by Liang Botai. Construction began on August 1 and was completed on January 31, 1934. The original bamboo and wood structure was replaced with a brick and wood structure. The stand became a venue for speeches, rallies, and cultural performances.

　　In October 1934, after the main forces of the Red Army embarked on the Long March, the Review Stand was demolished by the reactionary Kuomintang, leaving only ruins. In 1955, the state restored the stand to its original appearance. On March 4, 1961, it was designated as a Major Historical and Cultural Site Protected at the National Level by the State Council.
