Jinggang Mountains
The Jinggang Mountains, historically rendered as Chingkang Mountains are a mountain range of the Luoxiao Mountains System, in the border region of Jiangxi and Hunan Provinces.
The range lies at the junction of four counties - Ninggang, Yongxing, Suichuan and Lingxiang. The mountains cover some 670 km2 (260 sq mi), with an average elevation of 381.5 metres (1,252 ft) above sea level. The highest point is 2,120 m (6,960 ft) above sea level.
The range's massif consists of a number of thickly forested parallel ridges. On the heights there is not much farmland with most settlements at the base of the mountains. The main settlement is at Ciping, which is surrounded by five villages whose literal meanings are Big Well, Little Well, Middle Well, Lower Well, and Upper Well. Henceforth came the name of the mountain, literally means "Well Ridge Mountains".
Jinggang Mountains have rich reserves of porcelain clay and rare earth ore, which are two major dominant minerals. The Jinggang Mountains are also known as "the cradle of the Chinese revolution".
久有凌云志，重上井冈山。 Jiǔ yǒu língyún zhì, zhòng shàng jǐnggāngshān.
千里来寻故地，旧貌变新颜。 Qiānlǐ lái xún gùdì, jiù mào biàn xīn yán.
到处莺歌燕舞，更有潺潺流水，高路入云端。 Dàochù yīnggēyànwǔ, gèng yǒu chánchán liúshuǐ, gāo lù rù yúnduān.
过了黄洋界，险处不须看。 Guòle huángyángjiè, xiǎn chǔ bù xū kàn.
风雷动，旌旗奋，是人寰。 Fēngléi dòng, jīngqí fèn, shì rénhuán.
三十八年过去，弹指一挥间。 Sānshíbā nián guòqù, tánzhǐ yī huī jiān.
可上九天揽月，可下五洋捉鳖，谈笑凯歌还。 Kě shàng jiǔtiān lǎn yuè, kě xià wǔ yáng zhuō biē, tán xiào kǎigē hái.
世上无难事，只要肯登攀。 Shìshàng wú nánshì, zhǐyào kěn dēngpān. (Simplified Chinese)
I have long aspired to reach for the clouds, and I again ascend Jinggang Mountain.
Coming from afar to view our old haunt, I find new scenes replacing the old.
Everywhere orioles sing, swallows dart, streams babble, and the road mount skyward.
Once Huangyanggai is passed, no other perilous place calls for a glance.
Wind and thunder are stirring, flags and banners are flying, wherever men live.
Thirty-eight years are fled with a mere snap of the fingers.
We can clasp the moon in the Ninth Heaven and seize turtles deep down in the Five Seas:
nothing is hard in this world if you dare to scale the heights. (English)
The Jinggang Mountains is known as the birthplace of the Chinese Red Army, predecessor of the People's Liberation Army and the "cradle of the Chinese revolution". After the Kuomintang (KMT) turned against the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) during the April 12 Incident, the CCP either went underground or fled to the countryside. Following the unsuccessful Autumn Harvest Uprising in Changsha, Mao Zedong led his 1,000 remaining men here, setting up his first peasant soviet.[citation needed]
Mao reorganised his forces at the mountain village of Sanwan in Yongxin County, consolidating them into a single regiment - the "1st Regiment, 1st Division, of the First Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army". Mao then made an alliance with the local bandit chieftains Wang Zuo and Yuan Wencai, who had previously had little association with the Communists. For the first year he set up military headquarters at Maoping, a small market town encircled by forests guarding the main western route into the mountains. In November, the army occupied Chaling, some 80 km (50 mi) to the west, though this was quickly overrun by KMT troops.[citation needed]
When pressure from KMT troops became too great, Mao abandoned Maoping and withdrew up the mountain to Wang Zuo's stronghold at Dajing (Big Well), from which they could control the mountain passes. That winter the Communists drilled with the local bandits and the next year incorporated them into their regular army. In February a battalion from the KMT's Jiangxi Army occupied Xincheng, a town north of Maoping. During the night of February 17, Mao surrounded them with three battalions of his own and routed them the next day.[citation needed]
