Wendu is also a part of the old revolutionary Soviet area. During the Second Revolutionary Civil War, the Red Army led by He Long launched a long-term armed revolutionary struggle here and founded the revolutionary base area in western Hunan and Hubei. 1In April, 934, we had a rest for six days at the crossroads. 10 In April, we held a meeting of the Central Bureau of Hunan, Hubei and Western China (that is, the crossroads meeting) with great revolutionary significance. The meeting was presided over by Xia, director of the Central Branch Bureau. Guan Xiangying, political commissar of the Red Army, and He Long, commander of the Red Army, attended the meeting. On April 14, the meeting made a resolution on developing the Soviet movement in the Echuan Border Region, and the crossroads became the activity center of the Red Army and the Red Army's Echuan Border Region Guerrilla Corps in western Hubei and eastern Sichuan. The original of the resolution is now in China Revolutionary Military Museum.
During the period of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, the people in the Soviet area donated money to raise food and support the front line of the Anti-Japanese War. During the war of liberation, the underground party lang of the East Sichuan Special Committee went deep into the mountainous area to organize people's struggles against Ding, grain and taxes. In the early days of liberation, 30 officers and men of the People's Liberation Army and their staff died in the land of Wendu when suppressing the Windsor riots.
Wendu Town People's Government is located in the east corner of Wendu Ancient Town. The market town is located on the top of Qiyue Mountain, overlooking the terraced fields on the west bank of Yujiang River. On the left is the winding hill along the Yujiang River, which looks like a dragon leading its neck to play in the Yujiang River, and the dragon horn is lifelike; There is a baizhang cliff on the right, sitting on the main peak of Qiyue branch, backed by white rock, shaped like a white tiger; There are cliffs in front, such as orioles spreading their wings, Xuanwu Temple (destroyed), Kuixingge and other ancient buildings (completely destroyed), so people summarize the terrain of Wendu as "left Qinglong, right white tiger, former Suzaku, and later Xuanwu; There are eight wells inside and eight wells outside; There are eighty-six steps to climb the rock gate. Some people also said, "The Dragon Cave is persistent, the tiger's eyes turn north, the phoenix wings fly in the sky, and Yujiang dies." Textual research on Wendu County Records was founded in the 21st year of Qing Qianlong (A.D. 1759), originally named "Le Yichang" and later changed to "Puzzlefield". It was burned twice. During the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, Gong Hebo was raised and rebuilt, and a monument was erected in the palace. There is a meaning that "the temple monument was destroyed, leaving only ruins". I hope local scholars will spread it widely, so it was renamed "Wendu". During the Republic of China, district offices and township offices were the political and cultural centers of township people's governments, district offices and people's communes since liberation.
wild animals
Wild animals such as pheasants, native pigs, spiny pigs and wild dogs often appear in late summer. Among them, wild boar is the biggest contributor to people in Huang Tu Village, Wendu Township in recent years. Before the autumn harvest, many such animals came out to eat farmers' crops, thus reducing the harvest. However, the local government rarely cares about this matter, regardless of the sufferings of the people, and only knows how to make their own pockets swell!
