What does Gutian’s “Dawn” mainly talk about?

Shuguang Primary School, etc.

The question about what Gutian's "Shuguang" mainly talks about is located at the foot of the majestic Caimeiling, a branch of the Wuyi Mountains, in Gutian Town, Shanghang County, Fujian Province. There is a building with national characteristics. In front of it is a vast field with criss-crossing roads, beside it is a stream of spring flowing through the field, and behind it is a green screen with towering ancient trees and lush greenery. This simple and quiet building is the world-famous Shuguang Primary School, the site of the Gutian Conference.

The school site of Shuguang Primary School was originally the local Liao Ancestral Hall. It faces east and faces west. It is a single-story brick and wood structure with a construction area of ??more than 800 square meters. It is composed of a front yard, a lower hall, an upper hall and left and right wing rooms. , there are three patios between the upper and lower halls and the left and right wing rooms. This ancestral hall was built in 1848 and its name is Wanyuan Temple. On the inside of the front door, there is a couplet inscribed in bluestone when the ancestral hall was built: "All blessings and auspiciousness will last forever, and the source is the Yancha River of our school", with the horizontal inscription "Beiguo Fengqing".

In 1917, the craze for saving the country through education, enlightening people’s intelligence, and building new schools swept across the country. The people of Gutian, located in the lofty mountains, founded the first primary school in Gutian's history - "Hesheng Primary School". Therefore, a couplet was also engraved in bluestone on the outside of the front door of Wanyuan Temple: "Academics imitate Western Europe to open up new knowledge to disciples, and articles are from the north of Mr. Guo Zhen's old family tradition."

In the spring of 1929, the main force of the Fourth Red Army entered Fujian, setting off a vigorous revolutionary upsurge in western Fujian. The people of Gutian actively participated in the Red Army and actively supported the revolution. In May of the same year, based on the meaning of "The Dawn is Ahead" in the "Young Pioneers Song", the local Soviet government changed the name of "Hesheng Primary School" to "Shuguang Primary School". The slogan "Protect the School" written by the Red Army on the brick wall of Shuguang Primary School is still intact.

When the ancient clock of Shuguang Primary School reached the great day of December 28, 1929, "Shuguang" radiated light that reached the entire army. That day, snowflakes were falling and the earth was covered with snow. Mao Zedong's majestic body broke through the thick snow. He walked into Shuguang Primary School with fast steps. Outside the venue, snowflakes were falling, and the weather was freezing. In the venue, a blazing bonfire spit out moving flames and warmed everyone. More than 120 representatives listened quietly to Mao Zedong's long political report with far-reaching historical significance.

The bonfire illuminated everyone's face. Comrade Mao Zedong’s sincere teachings illuminated people’s eyes and hearts and illuminated the path of the Red Army. The "dawn" dispersed the gloom and mist caused by the Kuomintang army's "conquer campaign" in the three provinces of Fujian, Guangdong and Jiangxi, and penetrated the melancholy and hatred caused by the Fourth Red Army's defeat in Dongjiang. Dawn is coming!

The large lawn on the left side of Shuguang Primary School was the parade ground for the Fourth Red Army back then, with a command podium for reviewing the Red Army’s drills. After the Gutian Meeting, the officers and soldiers of the Fourth Red Army and the local people in Gutian held a grand party on the lawn. On the right side of Shuguang Primary School, there is a well with abundant water all year round and a lotus pond. Entering the main entrance of Shuguang Primary School, the main hall is the Gutian Conference venue. The first room on the right wing was Mao Zedong’s bedroom and office. During the Gutian Conference, Mao Zedong reviewed documents in this room and exchanged opinions with the participants.
