各位游客，欢迎您莅临德化楼一楼，一楼为九江市烈士纪念馆，这是一个独立而庄重的展陈空间，旨在铭记历史，传承红色基因。
九江市烈士纪念馆建成于2015年9月，展馆面积750平米，纪念馆分为四大部分，即序厅篇、历史篇、英烈篇、诗抄篇，运用大量的文字、雕塑、图片和声光电等科技手段，充分展示了九江建党以来的革命历史以及烈士的英勇事迹。馆内共展出了66名九江籍或曾在九江战斗过的烈士生平事迹，他们是不同时期赣北英烈的杰出代表，无论是在战斗岁月，还是在和平年代，是有名的，还是无名的，无数革命先烈用鲜血染红了赣北这片红土地。
特别是在中国共产党领导下，在长达半个多世纪的时间，九江人民掀起了反帝爱国运动高潮，组织革命人民开展斗争，收回英租界，取得反帝斗争的伟大胜利，血洗百年国耻；贺龙、叶挺率领的钢军、铁军入驻九江，进行了一系列策划，最后，甘棠湖上的小划子会议决定发动南昌起义；在修水组建了工农革命军第一军第一师，升起了我军第一面军旗，打响了秋收起义第一枪；遍及赣北的工农武装暴动，风起云涌，创建了湘鄂赣、岷山、赣东北苏区；开展土地革命，打土豪，分田地，全市普遍建立了红色的苏维埃政权；七七事变以后，日寇全面侵华，周恩来两次上庐山，与国民党当局展开谈判，共商国共合作事宜，抵御外侮，不久之后，形成抗日民族统一战线。九江沦陷，在中国共产党领导下，九江人民迅速投入到反侵略斗争中，组建赣北抗日游击大队、彭湖游击大队、阳瑞边游击大队，浴血抗战，与日寇进行了坚决斗争。但在国民党五届五中全会“溶共、防共、限共、反共”的反动方针下，国民党顽固势力制造摩擦，掀起了第一次反共高潮。九江的国民党顽固派先后制造了大港惨案、岷山惨案、修水惨案，屠杀抗日爱国志士，充分暴露了国民党顽固派消极抗日、积极反共的真实丑恶面目。抗战胜利后，为了取得和平，驻阳瑞边和彭湖边的新四军顾全大局，主动向北移，分别被编入新四军第五师长江独立第三旅第六团和中原军区独立第二旅。但是，国民党当局推行独裁统治，悍然发动内战。1949年4月21日，中国人民解放军百万雄师在西起江西湖口，东至江苏江阴段强渡长江，到6月16日，解放了九江地区全境。
从大革命时期到开展土地革命，从抗日战争到解放战争，九江人民在中国共产党的领导下，进行了艰苦卓绝的斗争，作出了重大贡献，付出了巨大牺牲，有数十万革命烈士为国捐躯，其中在册的就有16618名，无名烈士不胜枚举，他们用碧血丹心书写了一幅幅波澜壮阔的历史画卷，谱写出一曲曲催人奋进的时代赞歌，树立起了一座座撼天地，泣鬼神的永恒丰碑。
Dear tourists, welcome to the first floor of Dehua Building. The first floor is the Jiujiang Martyrs Memorial Hall, which is an independent and solemn exhibition space aimed at remembering history and inheriting the red gene.
The Jiujiang Martyrs Memorial Hall was built in September 2015, with an exhibition area of 750 square meters. The memorial hall is divided into four parts, namely the prologue section, the history section, the martyrs section, and the poetry section. It uses a large number of technological means such as text, sculptures, pictures, sound, and optoelectronics to fully showcase the revolutionary history and heroic deeds of the martyrs in Jiujiang since the founding of the Communist Party of China. The museum displays the life stories of 66 martyrs from Jiujiang or those who have fought in Jiujiang. They are outstanding representatives of the martyrs in northern Jiangxi at different times, famous or unknown, whether in the years of battle or peace. Countless revolutionary martyrs have stained the red soil of northern Jiangxi with their blood.
Especially under the leadership of the CPC, over half a century, the people of Jiujiang launched the anti imperialist patriotic movement, organized the revolutionary people to carry out the struggle, recovered the British concession, achieved the great victory of the anti imperialist struggle, and wiped out the national humiliation for a hundred years; The steel and iron armies led by He Long and Ye Ting settled in Jiujiang and carried out a series of planning. Finally, the small boat meeting on Gantang Lake decided to launch the Nanchang Uprising; We established the First Army and First Division of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army in Xiushui, raised our army's first flag, and fired the first shot of the Autumn Harvest Uprising; The armed uprisings of workers and peasants spread throughout northern Jiangxi, creating the Hunan Hubei Jiangxi, Minshan, and northeastern Jiangxi Soviet areas; Carrying out the land revolution, cracking down on local tyrants, distributing land, and establishing a red Soviet regime throughout the city; After the Marco Polo Bridge Incident, the Japanese invaders launched a full-scale invasion of China. Zhou Enlai went to Mount Lu twice to negotiate with the Nationalist authorities, discuss cooperation between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, resist foreign aggression, and soon form the Anti Japanese National United Front. Under the leadership of the CPC, the people of Jiujiang quickly threw themselves into the struggle against aggression, formed the anti Japanese guerrilla brigade in northern Jiangxi, the Penghu guerrilla brigade, and the Yangruibian guerrilla brigade, and fought resolutely against the Japanese invaders. But under the reactionary policy of "dissolving the Communist Party, preventing the Communist Party, restricting the Communist Party, and opposing the Communist Party" at the Fifth Plenary Session of the Fifth Central Committee of the Kuomintang, the stubborn forces of the Kuomintang created friction and triggered the first wave of anti Communist sentiment. The stubborn faction of the Kuomintang in Jiujiang successively created the Dagang Massacre, Minshan Massacre, and Xiushui Massacre, massacring anti Japanese patriots, fully exposing the true ugly face of the stubborn faction of the Kuomintang's passive resistance against Japan and active anti communism. After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, in order to achieve peace, the New Fourth Army stationed in Yangrui and Penghu took the overall situation into consideration and voluntarily moved northward. They were respectively incorporated into the Sixth Regiment of the Yangtze River Independent Third Brigade of the Fifth Division of the New Fourth Army and the Independent Second Brigade of the Central Plains Military Region. However, the Kuomintang authorities implemented authoritarian rule and launched a civil war in a brazen manner. On April 21, 1949, the Chinese People's Liberation Army's one million strong army crossed the Yangtze River from Hukou in Jiangxi to Jiangyin in Jiangsu. By June 16, they had liberated the entire Jiujiang area.
From the period of the Great Revolution to the agrarian revolution, from the War of Resistance against Japan to the War of Liberation, the people of Jiujiang, under the leadership of the CPC, have waged an arduous struggle, made significant contributions and made great sacrifices. Hundreds of thousands of revolutionary martyrs have died for their country, including 16618 on the list. There are countless unknown martyrs. They have written magnificent historical scrolls with blue blood and devotion, composed songs of the times that urge people to advance, and set up eternal monuments that shake the world and weep ghosts and gods.
