brief introduction

Brick wood structure, built in 1886. It sits east facing west, with a construction area of 660 square meters. During the great revolution, it was the site of the peasant association in the third township of Xiangtan County. At the beginning of January 1927, when Mao Zedong returned to Shaoshan to investigate the peasant movement, the peasant associations of the third and fourth townships organized more than 400 peasants to hold a meeting to welcome Mao Zedong. Mao Zedong made an important speech at the meeting. At the end of his speech, some villagers asked him when he would return to Shaoshan again. Facing hundreds of pairs of hopeful and anxious eyes, Mao Zedong swore with confidence: "it must be decades before the feudal landlords and evil gentry are completely eliminated, the warlords are overthrown, and imperialism is driven away. However, if the thirty or forty year revolution is not successful, I, Mao Runzhi, will never return to Shaoshan! "

history

At the beginning of liberation, the temple was the seat of Shaoshan township government. When Mao anying returned to Shaoshan in the late spring of 1950, she had a rest in this ancestral hall. Now the temple has been renovated and opened to the public. It is a provincial key cultural relic protection unit, including the former residence of Mao Zedong, a national key cultural relic protection unit.

Mao Zhen ancestral hall, built by Mao Zedong's immediate ancestors, belongs to Mao's ancestral hall in Shaoshan. It is located at the foot of huangtian'ao from Mao Zedong's former residence to the side of Dishui cave. It was built in 1776.

When Mao Zedong carried out the peasant movement in Shaoshan in 1925, he once set up night school for peasants in the temple. During the period of the great revolution, it was the seat of the peasant association of the first township of Xiangtan special district. At the beginning of January 1927, the first and second townships of Xiangtan special district held a banquet here to welcome Mao Zedong back to Shaoshan to investigate the peasant movement. During the banquet, the story of Mao Zedong's insistence on letting his sister-in-law Wang Shulan and other women sit at the head of the banquet was widely spread.
