Why are everyone so embarrassed to hide Zhu De’s pole?

Because Zhu De engraved his name on the pole, he engraved three characters "Zhu De Ji".

"Zhu De's Carrying Pole" tells the story of the very difficult life of the soldiers and civilians in the base area during the Jinggangshan period. The required salt, cotton, cloth, medicinal materials and food were in short supply, and they also encountered many difficulties in raising funds.

In order to solve the immediate problem of eating and storing food, the headquarters of the 4th Red Army launched a campaign to go down the mountain to pick up food. Zhu De often accompanied the team to pick up food. The soldiers admired him from the bottom of their hearts, but they also felt sorry for him. In order to take care of everything for the revolution, they had to go over mountains and ridges to pick up food.

Worried that Zhu De would be exhausted, he hid his pole. Zhu De was very anxious without his pole. He asked the guard to go to a fellow villager and buy a moso bamboo as thick as the mouth of a bowl. I started to build a pole all night long.

In order to prevent the soldiers from hiding his pole again, the three characters "Zhu Deji" were engraved on it. From then on, no one "stealed" his pole again.

Extended information:

"Zhu De's Pole" first appeared in a newspaper when military reporter Li Pu published it in Shanxi, Hebei, Luyu and "People's Daily" on December 4, 1946. "The Great Mentor of Chinese Soldiers - General Liu Bocheng Praises Commander-in-Chief Zhu" in the Daily:

"In the Jinggangshan era, Chairman Mao and Commander-in-Chief Zhu carried firewood and rice with the soldiers. The commander's shoulder pole was inscribed with the words "Zhu De's shoulder pole", which has been passed down as a legend to this day."

Children all over the country know that such a pole originated from the revolutionary memoir "Red Flag Flying" written by the founding general Zhu Liangcai. An article "Zhu De's Carrying Pole" written in the "Gone with the Wind" series.

Zhu Liangcai served as Zhu De's correspondent in Jinggangshan, and it was he who came up with the idea to hide the commander-in-chief's pole. However, Zhu Liangcai's initial memory was different from Li Pu's record. What Mr. Zhu wrote on the pole was "Zhu De Ji".

In the 1980s, another person involved in Jinggangshan, Fan Shude, gave a new interpretation of the writing on the pole. He wrote an article in "Literary and Historical News" in 1982, arguing that the words on the pole were neither "Zhu De's pole" nor "Zhu De's records", but "Zhu De's pole" written on one end of the pole and "No chaos allowed" on the other end. "Take", eight words ***.

After Zhu De and Mao Zedong joined forces in 1928, Fan Shude served as director of the Military Supplies Department of the Fourth Red Army. His memories are naturally authoritative. In 2001, the People's Liberation Army Daily published Zhu Liangcai's oral statement "I often think of the days when Zhu De hid his pole", which recognized Fan Shude's statement.

From 5 words, 3 words to 8 words, it reflects the communists’ ideological character of seeking truth from facts.

However, during the "Cultural Revolution", this famous pole was stolen! Slogans calling Zhu De a "big warlord, big careerist, and black commander" were once posted on the streets of Beijing.

In February 1967, the primary school Chinese text was replaced by "Lin Biao's Pole". Only a few years later, Lin Biao left, and the teaching material was quietly changed back to "Zhu De's Pole".
