Baofengyan Temple in Donggong Village, Yangyuan Township, Zhenghe County, was built in the Qing Dynasty and is the 27th Blessed Land of Taoism, and is known as "Lang Huan Fu Di and Wei Yu Dong Tian". Since ancient times, Baofeng Rock has the reputation of "Lang Huan Fu Di Dong Gong Mountain, the first rock of Baofeng Scenic Spot". It's both a tourist attraction and a fertile red soil.
Since ancient times and now, Donggong Mountain has been a transportation fortress connecting eastern Fujian, northern Fujian, southern Zhejiang and southern Gannan, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and is a place where soldiers and families must fight. During the years of the revolutionary war, Baofengyan Temple was an important base and garrison for the Guerrilla Guerrillas of the Red Army. Famous revolutionary leaders Huang Dao, Ye Fei, Huang Ligui, Wu Xianxi, Zeng Jingbing, Ruan Yingping, Fan Shiren, Rao Shoukun, Wang Suo, Chen Ting, Zuo Fengmei, Wang Wenbo, Chen Guifang, Chen Bangxing, and others stationed, tossed, turned, and stationed in the area of Baofengyan Temple in Donggong Mountain, leaving behind a "glorious page" and precious red relics of the revolutionary ancestors' arduous struggle.
In the summer of 1933, Luo Binghui led the Red Twelfth Army from Gansu into Fujian, to the border areas of Fujian and Zhejiang, stationed at Donggong Mountain to meet with the peasants' self-defense armed Forces Chen Jiaru, repaired at Donggong Mountain, and sowed the seeds of revolution. In October, Huang Ligui of the Northern Fujian Red Army led the elite of the 58th Regiment to go deep into Donggong Mountain to carry out activities such as mobilizing the masses and publicizing the party's revolutionary ideas.
In January 1934, Ye Fei led an armed uprising in eastern Fujian. In February, Zhang Helu and Ye Yusheng were sent to Zhenghe Yangtou and Pingnan Yanhou on Donggong Mountain to secretly carry out revolutionary activities, establishing party branches headed by Zhangjiazhen and Zhang Fazhen, and setting up poor peasant groups in yanhou, Yangtou, Ximen, Xiyan, Heping, Bantou, ChenQiao, and other villages, recruiting more than 20 party members. In July, the Central District Committee of Zhengpingbian was established to carry out the "Five Resistances" struggle in the Donggong Mountains.
At the beginning of 1935, due to the strong incense and many letters in Baofengyan Temple, it was convenient to cover the joints, and was set up as an important activity base by the Red Army guerrillas on the political screen. At the same time, an underground traffic station represented by Huang Baobiao and Hu Zhenmao was set up in Ximen Village. Zhang Changzhen, then abbot of Baofengyan Temple, and Hu Zhenmao, a poor peasant who took refuge in Baofengyan Temple, supported the revolution, were loyal and reliable, and took a firm stand.
Ximen Village due to the relatively flat and open terrain, the field has a lot of grain, Ximen green tea has long been famous, since the Qing Jiaqing has been exported to Fuzhou Jiangxi and other places, the material support is relatively stable. In those years, Red Army guerrillas and Ye Fei, Zeng Jingbing, Wu Xianxi, Ruan Yingping, Zhang Jiazhen, Zhang Fazhen, and others often gathered at Baofengyan Temple in the name of Wei Yu's true believers to carry out revolutionary activities. Huang Baobiao, an underground traffic officer living in Ximen Village, and Huang Deqi, an enlightened squire, often sent the intelligence materials collected and procured to the Red Army under the pretext of praying for blessings at Baofengyan Temple.
In April 1935, in order to avoid the cruel "encirclement and suppression" of the enemy, Ye Fei led part of the Red Army in eastern Fujian to Donggong Mountain to insist on carrying out revolutionary work, and under the organization of Zhang Jiazhen, secretary of the central district party committee of Zhengpingbian, the abbot of the monastery secretly arranged for Ye Fei to live alone in a cave more than 300 meters above the stream more than 300 meters from the right side of the temple, and his entourage lived in the temple. During the three years of arduous guerrilla warfare, Ye Fei, secretary of the Mindong Special Committee, led the Eastern Fujian Red Army to travel around Donggong Mountain on many occasions; on the eve of the Spring Festival in 1936, he secretly went to Baofengyan Temple to plot a meeting of the Red Army in eastern Fujian and northern Fujian in Heping Village, Donggong Mountain, and in April he went to Donggong Yangtou, Daqiao, Baofengyan Temple, and Huang Dao, secretary of the Northern Fujian Sub-district Committee, to hold a famous joint meeting of the CPC Committees of Northern Fujian and Eastern Fujian, and the two sides reached a consensus on the establishment of the Fujian-Gansu Provincial Party Committee and the alliance of revolutionary base areas in eastern Fujian and northern Fujian.

The convening of the joint meeting of the Red Army divisions of The Red Army in Northern Fujian and Eastern Fujian and the party committees of the two localities was a major historical event in the three-year guerrilla war between northern Fujian and eastern Fujian; the opening up and coordination of the two revolutionary base areas marked a major turning point in the three years of guerrilla warfare, and was of extremely great strategic significance and historical significance in expanding the guerrilla base areas, developing the armed contingent, smashing the Kuomintang's division, encirclement, and suppression, and later organizing the Fifth and Sixth Regiments of the Third Detachment of the New Fourth Army. Baofengyan Temple, one of the seats of the Donggongshan Huishi and the joint meeting, has been recorded in the annals of history as a glorious page in the history of revolutionary struggles in northern Fujian and eastern Fujian.
In 1987, Huang Daozhen, the eldest son of Huang Dao, secretary of the Northern Fujian Sub-regional Committee, who had participated in the joint meeting of Donggongshan and former member of the CPC Central Committee and chairman of the Standing Committee of the Hubei Provincial People's Congress, specially wrote a poem praising: "Wuyi is majestic and the wind is thundering, the water of construction is raging, the bloody battle has left a history of qingqing for three years, and there is a cave palace on a glorious page."
