　　Xinhuanet Fuzhou, September 1st (Liu Mohan, Li Chen) Famous Red Holy Land — — About 30 kilometers northwest of Gutian conference site, there is a hot spring town called "Xinquan". In 1929, the Red Fourth Army was reorganized here and launched the famous "New Spring Training and Consolidation". At the end of August, the interview group of Fujian online media "Go and Change" came here to feel the red memory of this town.

　　Xinquan Town, under the jurisdiction of Liancheng County, Fujian Province, is the traffic hub of Fujian, Guangdong and Jiangxi provinces. The town has a well-developed water system and is surrounded by water on three sides. Since ancient times, it has been a waterway from western Fujian to Chaozhou and Shantou to the sea. In 1929, Mao Zedong, Zhu De and Chen Yi led the Red Fourth Army to Xinquan for three times and carried out the famous political and military training and consolidation — — Xinquan training and consolidation, drafted the programmatic document "Gutian Conference Resolution" for the construction of our party and army, leaving behind more than a dozen revolutionary sites, such as Wangyun Caoshi, the first night school for workers, peasants and women in the Central Soviet Area, Yuxi Gongci, the former site of the Revolutionary Committee of Liannan District, and Kuishan Gongci, the former site of the Guanzhuang Farmers Investigation Association.

　　According to reports, when the Red Fourth Army was in Xinquan, the Red Army soldiers bathed naked in the hot springs by the river after training, while the local women were still washing clothes and vegetables by the river, which was very unsightly. Mao Zedong then added the seventh item "Bathing to avoid women" to the original "Three Disciplines and Six Notices". At the same time, Chen Yi proposed Article 8 "No defecation anywhere". Later, the contents of "three major disciplines and eight points for attention" were revised, and it was fixed in a unified form on October 10, 1947. Article 7 was revised as: Do not molest women.

　　In recent years, the former training sites such as Wangyun Caoshi and Xinquan Women’s Night School have become increasingly famous in the context of red tourism. According to Zou Chongqing, director of Xinquan Training Memorial Hall, in 2015, the former site group received nearly 8,000 visitors, while from January to July this year, there were nearly 6,000 visitors.
