古田会议会址

二、古田会议会址

先生们、女士们，很高兴见到大家!我先做个自我介绍，我是你们今天的导游张灿，你们也可以叫我小张。我在此代表我们旅行社，向你们的到来表示热烈的欢迎，并预祝大家在古田玩得开心。

1.古田会议旧址

首先，我向大家介绍下古田会议会址的发展史。古田会议会址原是廖家宗祠，也称万源寺，始建于1848年。民国成立后，为振兴教育、传播先进的新思想，廖家宗祠改为小学——和声小学。会址，也就是当时的和声小学大门挂着一对联:学术仿西欧开弟子新智识，文章宗北郭振先生旧家风。这副对联表明当时的古田人民渴望学习西方先进的知识，同时也不忘重振传统文化。1929年五月，红四军挺进古田并且开展土地革命。在这种斗争背景下，和声小学改名为曙光小学。据说这个改名是根据少先队员队歌的歌词大意“曙光在前头”而改名的，寓意中国革命的曙光马上就要到来。看，会址外墙上至今还保留着标语:保护学校。

1929年12月28日至29日，中国共产党红军第四军第九次代表大会，即古田会议，在此举行。这次会议总结了中国共产党自南昌起义以来在红军队伍建设中的经验和成果，并且通过了由毛泽东同志起草的关于“纠正党内错误思想”的决议，强调马列主义与党的正确路线，重申包括“党对军队绝对领导”在内的基本原则。因此，古田会议是中国共产党建党建军史上的一个里程碑。1961年3月，国务院公布古田会议会址为第一批全国重点文物保护单位。1986年8月，古田会议被福建政府列入福建十佳旅游胜地之一。中国国家主席江泽民与胡锦涛都曾游览此地，并高度赞扬古田会议会址。2000年1月23日，中央电视台的心连心文艺团在这举办本世纪的首场规模宏大的表演。这些都反映出古田会议在中国红色斗争史上的重要地位。

大家请看，我们现在来到了古田会议旧址前，旧址也被人称为“中国共产主义的圣地”。会址上方赫然写着八个大字:“古田会议永放光芒”，光彩夺目。会址已被恢复原貌，摆放着许多物品，比如代表座椅、会议标志、主席台、会议标语、党旗、壁钟，以及马克思与列宁的肖像。会议期间，左侧的厢房是毛主席的临时办公室，毛主席就是在那起草、批阅并发布文件，接见与会代表，大家赶快进去看看吧。会议的左侧有一口水井与一个莲花池，据说，毛泽东经常饭后到此散步。会议的右侧有一块大草坪，过去曾经是红四军的阅兵场。阅兵场的西南侧设有阅兵台。根据史料记载，当年毛泽东、朱德、陈毅等红四军领导在这里举行盛大的阅兵仪式，并且在会议结束后，在此举行了元旦迎新晚会。

2.古田会议展览馆

接下来，我们要参观的是古田会议展览馆，这里陈列着革命期间闽西的珍贵文物。展览馆始建于1960年，于1974年正式对外开放，占地面积32000平方米。展馆总共有10个陈列室，并设有音像室与贵宾室。全馆展出文物400多件。陈列馆序厅中央挂着一幅由何孔德教授所作的油画佳作《古田会议》，陈列馆左侧悬挂着毛泽东、周恩来的肖像，而右侧是朱德与陈毅的肖像。这些文物是历史的见证，生动地再现了古田会议的历史时刻。古田会议纪念馆革命文物馆藏丰富，在国内众多的革命史陈列展览中独树一帜。这个纪念馆不仅具有重要的历史意义，建筑风格采用传统的砖木结构，建有回廊庭院，幽深静谧，得到了各界的广泛好评。

3.红四军司令部旧址——中兴堂

先生们、女士们，接下来，我将带领大家参观古田的红四军司令部旧址——中兴堂。中兴堂坐落在八甲村，于1805年建成，耗时三年。中兴堂坐东朝西，层围垅式建筑风格，砖木架构，悬山式屋顶，占地面积1689平方米。中兴堂主要由一个正堂构成，正堂包括庭院、正门、前厅、后厅和天井，正堂南北两侧还建有两栋护楼。1929年12月，毛主席、朱德、陈毅等人率领红四军挺进古田，并且把司令部设在这里。就是在这儿，毛主席与其他军队领导人多次开展讨论会，商讨如何提高党员的政治觉悟。2004年1月，中兴堂被列入县级文物保护单位。

各位团友，我们的古田会议之旅就到此结束了。感谢大家的配合。最后，祝旅途愉快，欢迎再来。

Site of Gutian Conference

Ladies and Gentleman，welcome to Gutian!Now allowme to introduce myself.I’m Zhang Can，your tour guide for today.You can callme Xiao Zhang if you like.I hope you will have a pleasant time here.

1.Site of Gutian Conference

For starters，letme briefly introduce the history of the site of Gutian Conference.It was originally the Ancestral Temple of Liao＇s family(also named Wan Yuan Temple)built in 1848.During the Republic of China(1912-1949)，the temple was transformed into a primary school，called Hesheng Primary School，to develop education and promote new schools of thought.On both sides of the main gate inscribed a pair of Chinese couplets，which means“Learning fromthe west may broaden students＇vision;esteeming Beiguo’s literatures will revive Liao’s faimly”.Beiguo，also named Liao Fu，was a scholar in Eastern Han Dynasty(25AD-220AD).This pair of couplets shows that people in Gutian were eager to learn advanced Western science and technology while highly valued revitalizing Chinese traditional culture.In May 1929，the Fourth Red Army moved to Gutian and launched the Agrarian Revolution.The heated revolutionary atomosphere brought a new name to Hesheng Primary school.They renamed it Shuguang Primary School，or Dawning Primary School.It is said that the school was renamed after the theme song of the Young Pioneers League，symbolizing that the success of the Chinese revolution would soon come.Look!The slogan“Protect the School”painted by the Red Army soldiers still exists on the wall.

On December 28^thand 29^thin 1929，the ninthmeeting of the Fourth Red Army of the Chinese Communist Party was convened at Gutian.At the conference they summed up the experience in building the Red Army and the lessons they should draw from ever since the Nanchang Uprising.The conference also passed the famous resolution Rectifying the Wrong Thoughts of the Party Members drafted by Mao Zedong，which highlighted the importance of adhering to the Marxist－Leninist ideologies and the correct political line of the Communist Party of China，and reiterated the basic principles including“the absolute command of the army under the Party”.Hence，the Gutian Conference became a breakthrough in the history of military construction of the Communist Party.In March 1961，itwas put on the list of the first batch of important cultural heritage sites under state protection.In August，1986，it was announced by the Fujian Government as one of the ten best tourist destinations in Fujian.Chinese presidents including Jiang Zemin and Hu Jintao paid an official visit to the site.All of them spoke highly of the role of Gutian Conference.On January 23rd 2000，the“Heart－to－Heart”Art Troupe of CCTV held the century’s first grand performance right here.All these indicate the significant role that the Gutian Conference played in the modern history of the Chinese revolution.

Now，we are right in the site of the Gutian Conference.It is regarded as the“holy land of Chinese Communism”.Please look at the shining eight Chinese characters above behind the building，which means“The Glory of the Gutian Conference”.Today the conference hall has been restored to its original appearance，displayed with such objects in place as the representative seats，sign of meeting，rostrum，slogans，party flag，wall clock and pictures of Karl Marx and Lenin.During the sessions，the left－wing room served as Chairman Mao’s office，where Chairman Mao drafted proposals，issued documents，and met delegates attending the conference.On the left of the conference site is a well and a lotus pond，where Chairman Mao often went for a stroll after dinner.On the right is a large lawn，which used to be the parade ground of the Fourth Red Army.On its south－west is the parade viewing stands.According to some historical documents，Mao Zedong，Zhu De and Chen Yi，leaders of the Fourth Red Army，once held a grand parade here，and followed by the New Year celebration party.

2.Exhibition Hall of Gutian Conference

Next，I will show you around the exhibition hall of the Gutian Conference，where many rare cultural relics in west Fujian during the revolutionary period are displayed.The exhibition hall was built in 1960 and opened to the public in October 1974，covering an area of 32，000 square meters.The exhibition hall is equipped with ten showrooms，one audio－visual room and a reception room for VIPs.There are over 400 important cultural relics on display in the showrooms.In the center of the first showroomhangs a famous oil painting made by Professor He Kongde:Gutian Conference.On the right side of this hall are the portraits of Zhu De and Chen Yi，while the portraits of Chairman Mao and Premier Zhou are on the left side.All these cultural relics displayed in the showrooms witnessed the historical moments of the Gutian Conference，providing us with a vivid picture of the scene of the meeting.Among the numerous exhibition halls of the Revolutionary History of China，the Memorial of Gutian Conference reveals its own glory.Apart from the important items on display，the exhibition hall is also unique in its architecture.With courtyards and porches，it presents a cloistered layout with national features made by bricks and wood.Over the years，Gutian Exhibition Hall has received high recognition frompeople of all circles.

3.Site of Fourth Red Army Commanders’Office—Zhongxing Tang

Ladies and gentlemen，next，I will show you around the Site of Fourth Red Army Commanders’office in Gutian，which is located at the Zhongxing Tang(Hall)，Bajia Village.Zhongxing Tang was completed in 1805 with three years of construction work.Facing west，Zhongxing Tang is of enclosed building style，featured by overhanging gable roof and brick and wood structure.The house covers a land area of 1689 square meters.It contains a main hall，composed of a courtyard，the main gate，the front hall，the back hall，and a well.Two supporting buildings are attached to its North and South sides.In December，1929，Mao Zedong，Zhu De and Chen Yi led the Fourth Red Army into Gutian and located the Commander’sOffice in this Hall.Right in this room，Chairman Mao and many other army leaders held many discussion meetings on how to raise the political awareness of party members.In January，2004，Zhongxing Tang was placed on the list of the cultural relics under the protection of the County.
