History

Imperial

The meaning of the town's name is the headstream (yuan) of kudzu (ge).

Kudzu species of plant

Kudzu is a group of plants in the genus Pueraria, in the pea family Fabaceae, subfamily Faboideae. They are climbing, coiling, and trailing perennial vines native to much of eastern Asia, Southeast Asia, and some Pacific islands. The name is derived from the Japanese name for the plant East Asian arrowroot, クズ or (kuzu). Where these plants are naturalized, they can be invasive and are considered noxious weeds. The plant climbs over trees or shrubs and grows so rapidly that it kills them by heavy shading. The plant is edible, but often sprayed with herbicides.

As the Sui Dynasty ended and Tang Dynasty began, families with the surname of Su and Feng settled here at the source of a stream where kudzu flourished.

In the year 3 of Tang Zhenguan (629 CE), a family surnamed Zheng moved here. Then came the families Cai, Ye, Luo and Jin.

Revolutionary

In December 1927, a rebellion against the Jiangxi governor was waged. In February 1931, the committee in charge of the Northeast Jiangxi Revolutionary Base Area under Fang Zhimin moved from Yiyang county to Hengfeng, setting up the Soviet government of the Special Administration Region of northeast Jiangxi in Geyuan town. In November 1931, at Ruijin the Chinese Soviet Republic was declared a sovereign state; and Geyuan was named the capital of one of its constituent parts, i.e. the Northeastern Jiangxi Soviet. In December of the following year, the Soviet territory officially expanded into counties in Zhejiang and Fujian.

The Northeastern Jiangxi Soviet was a constituent part of the Chinese Soviet Republic. Any military threat it posed to the Nationalist Party-controlled Chinese State (1927–1949) had been roundly neutered by an early 1931 campaign, and thus the area was never going to make a formidable component soviet of the CSR.

Fang Zhimin Chinese politician

Fang Zhimin was a Chinese communist military and political leader.
