Revolutionary Base Area
In Mao Zedong's original formulation of the military strategy of people's war, a revolutionary base area (), or simply base area, is a local stronghold that the revolutionary force conducting the people's war should attempt to establish, starting from a remote area with mountainous or forested terrain in which its enemy is weak. Military This kind of base helps the revolutionary conducting force to exploit the few advantages that a small revolutionary movement has—broad-based popular support, especially in a localized area, can be one of them—against a state power with a large and well-equipped army. To overcome a lack of supplies, revolutionaries in a base area may storm isolated outposts or other vulnerable supply caches controlled by the forces of an opponent. Cultural policies In 1940, the Central Committee of the Chinese Communist Party issued its ''Instruction on Developing Cultural Movements'', instructing that in "every large base area, a complete printing fact ...

It was the largest component of the Chinese Soviet Republic and home to its capital, Ruijin.
