The hundred-year journey is magnificent, and the original intention of the hundred-year journey has lasted for a long time. We must not forget the road we have traveled; no matter how far we go, no matter how glorious the future is, we must not forget the past we have traveled.
The red hot land of Weinan has a glorious revolutionary tradition, the earliest party organization in Shaanxi was born here, the Weihua Uprising that shook the northwest broke out here, the three main forces of the Eighth Route Army crossed the Yellow River from here to the anti-Japanese front, and the Northwest Field Army opened the prelude to understanding and enlarging the northwest from here... These glorious revolutionary histories have left Weinan with rich and shining revolutionary cultural relics and historical relics.
On the occasion of celebrating the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Communist Party of China, Weinan Daily, together with the Shaanxi Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics Protection, launched a special report on "Protecting Revolutionary Cultural Relics and Inheriting Red Genes" since July 2021, forming an interview group to go deep into 11 counties (cities, districts) in Weinan for more than 5 months and thousands of kilometers to explore the existing revolutionary relics in our city. In the process of searching, it is constantly shaken, touched, and infiltrated. While harvesting and moving, he also received a baptism of revolutionary traditional education and deeply felt the hard-won happiness of today's life.
Search for the imprint of the revolution and listen to the voices of history
From the former site of the Weihua Uprising, the old site of the Xuanhuaguan Incident, the former site of the Yapan Revolution to the former residence of Yang Hucheng; from the Beimu Library Building, the Fuping Library Building, and the Hancheng Library Building to the Anti-Japanese War Bunker; from the former site of the Anti-Japanese Oath Conference of the 120th Division of the Eighth Route Army, the memorial site of the Eighth Route Army's east crossing of the Yellow River to the site of the First Congress of the Northwest Field Army of the Communist Party of China; from the site of the Battle of Hutishan, the Cemetery of the Yongfeng Revolutionary Martyrs to the Memorial Park of the Battle of Libei...
In searching for one revolutionary imprint after another, recording, listening, moving, and harvesting.
On July 20, the first day of the interview, the reporter came to Gaotang Town, Huazhou District, where the grass and trees in the mountains were lush. Walk into the Red Education Base of the Weihua Uprising, climb up the steps from the front of the workers' and peasants' revolutionary mass sculptures, gently push open the hidden red gate, and the sunlight passes through the gate and projects on the cobblestone floor, drawing a road to the light.
"This is one of the earliest areas where our Party propagated Marxism-Leninism and established party organizations in Shaanxi." Shi Jinjun, director of the Huazhou District Party History Research Office, said, "In July 1927, the Huaxian County Committee of the Communist Party of China was established here to carry out revolutionary activities in secret. In May 1928, after the outbreak of the Weihua Uprising, the Military Committee and Headquarters of the Northwest Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army were stationed here. Liu Zhidan, Tang Shu, Wang Taiji, and other principal responsible persons made plans here, commanded the troops to publicize the party's program, carried out in depth the revolutionary struggle to crack down on local tycoons and divide up floating wealth, safeguarded the vital interests of the masses, and accumulated invaluable experience in creating a revolutionary base area in Shaanxi and Gansu. ”
Among the pines and cypresses, the Monument to the Martyrs of the Weihua Uprising stands majestically, and the pedestal is engraved with the reliefs of 42 soldiers and peasants with determined eyes, who bravely march forward under the guidance of the red flag. Looking at the reliefs, we seem to go back to the beacon years of horn whimpering and bloody struggle more than 90 years ago.
The bucket turns to the stars, and the vicissitudes change dramatically. Today, in the exhibition hall of the Weihua Uprising Memorial Hall on Gaotangyuan, 157 cultural relics, more than 1,200 photos, and 75 precious documents tell the heroic and indomitable revolutionary history.
A building, an oil lamp, a letter, a photograph, a bayonet, a cart... Every cultural relic is a wordless witness of the revolution, they are like a bright light in the revolutionary years, through time and space, illuminating for us the magnificent years, illuminating the new era and new journey road of not forgetting the original heart, keeping in mind the mission, and continuing to move forward.
Visit the old revolutionary site to tell the story of the revolution

Protect revolutionary cultural relics and continue the red gene
A hundred years of history are turbulent, and cultural relics have witnessed glory. From the Xinhai Revolution to the founding of the People's Republic of China, from the banks of the Weiluo River to the shores of the Yellow River, from the northern foothills of the Qinling Mountains to the Huanglong Mountains, the sons and daughters of Weinan have made outstanding contributions and left a large number of valuable revolutionary cultural relics in the protracted revolutionary struggle.

Li Dawei, deputy director of the Cultural Heritage Investigation and Research Department of the Provincial Institute of Cultural Relics Protection, said that for the protection of revolutionary cultural relics, it is necessary to strengthen research on concept definition, type division, value interpretation, display and utilization, etc., on the basis of full investigation, publish them according to procedures, clarify their identity, continuously excavate local cultural resources and values, enhance the level of protection and utilization of revolutionary cultural relics, and integrate the protection of revolutionary cultural relics into the local socio-economic and cultural development to achieve a win-win situation.
A cultural relic is an unforgettable history, and a relic has a moving story.
During the interview, the interview group searched for the footprints of the ancestors, listened to the stories of the ancestors, talked with the ancestors, climbed on the steep cliffs, walked in the ravines full of thorns, shuttled in the 38-degree heat, and stopped in the cold wind... They have given us endless spiritual nourishment and life insights, and are inexhaustible precious treasures throughout our lives.
"Revolutionary cultural relics, as the material carrier of revolutionary culture, carry the revolutionary traditions, fine work styles, and revolutionary spirit of the revolutionary ancestors who struggled heroically, were not afraid of sacrifice, and were indomitable. We were honored to participate in this interview, visiting and listening to many untold red stories. Niu Gang, a reporter of the interview group, said that in the future, he will continue to enhance his foot, eye, brain, and pen strength, use the pen and lens in his hand to record the revolutionary imprint on the red hot land of Weinan, tell the story of the revolutionary cultural relics in Weinan, let the red gene bloom the light of the times, and let us continue to write the glory of our ancestors in the protection of revolutionary cultural relics.
