The Central Revolutionary Base, also known as the Central Soviet Area, or the Central Soviet Area for short, is located in southwestern Jiangxi and western Fujian. It is the largest red revolutionary base established by the Communist Party of China during the Agrarian Revolutionary War. In its heyday, the Central Soviet Area had jurisdiction over 60 administrative counties in the four provinces of Jiangxi, Fujian, Fujian and Jiangxi, and Guangdong and Jiangxi, and the naming of the counties was also quite red.
Central Soviet Area Situation Map
In November 1931, the central government promulgated the "Interim Regulations on the Division of Administrative Regions of the Chinese Soviets", requiring the name change of administrative regions at all levels to adopt great local struggles or sacrificed great revolutions. The name of the leader. For this reason, there were a large number of counties named after revolutionary martyrs in the Central Soviet Area at that time: Bosheng County (in memory of Zhao Bosheng), Pengpai County (Pengpai), Lue County (Huanggonglue), Tailei County (Zhangtaili), Daiying County (Yun Daiying), Yang Yin County (Yang Yin), Mingguang County (Li Mingguang), Zhaozheng County (Su Zhaozheng), Denghui County (Luo Denghui), etc.
Bosheng County
At that time, in order to celebrate the victory of the anti-encirclement and suppression revolution and imply a bright future for the revolution, the Central Soviet District changed the names of some counties to the great meaning of revolutionary victory, such as Shengli County and Changsheng County, Xingsheng County, Anfu County, Xinyu County, etc. Most of these counties are newly established, implying new life and beauty.
The Central Soviet District is also named after a combination of place names and directions. Like Tingdong County, Tingxi County, Xijiang County, Yubei Special Zone, Yuxi County, Linan County, Jinnan County, Jiandong County, Guinan County, Dongfang County, Chinan County, Annan County, etc. It is named after the orientation of the mountains and rivers. Like Leyichong County ( Lean, Yihuang, Chongren three counties combined), Xintinghang County (Xinquan, Tingzhou, Shanghang), Xunanhui County (Xunwu, Anyuan, Huichang), Xinganan Yuhui County ( Xinfeng, Ganxian, Anyuan, Yudu, Huichang), Tinglian County (Tingzhou, Liancheng) , Xinting County (Xinquan, Tingzhou), Hangwu County (Shanghang, Wuping), Raohepu County (Raoping, Pinghe, Dapu), Xinkang County (Xinfeng, Nankang), Xun'an County of Xinglong ( Xingning, Longchuan, Xunwu, Anyuan, etc.) are county names combined with place names.Most of these counties are located within the borders of counties. Some counties are under the rule of the Kuomintang, and the Red Army only occupies a small part. In order to facilitate the management, the Central Soviet Area will integrate these junctions into new county Soviets.
Ruijin Revolutionary Site
As the capital of the Chinese Soviet Republic, Ruijin was naturally renamed-Ruijing, Ruijing as the red capital, it is naturally very appropriate to change "Jin" to "Jing". The meaning of the capital. However, the name Ruijing was first called by non-governmental organizations, and then written by various media. At the same time, the people in the Soviet area mostly spoke Hakka, and the nasal sounds of the words "jin" and "jing" were not distinguished. Later, as "Ruijing" was recognized by all walks of life, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China also simply replaced "Ruijin" with "Ruijing".
With the failure of the Fifth Anti-Encirclement and Suppression, the Central Red Army began the Long March. Although the red county names remaining in the Soviet area were replaced or even perished by the Kuomintang government, most of these county names have a strong red culture and carry a period of time. The epic revolutionary heroic deeds have witnessed the coming of the Republic from here, inheriting the immortal Soviet spirit , which will always be remembered by history.
