Peasant Movement Training Institute at Guangzhou, Former revolutionary training center in Guangzhou, China

The Peasant Movement Training Institute is a converted 14th-century Confucian temple building located in central Guangzhou's historic district. The building contains recreated classrooms, dormitories, and exhibition halls that show how students lived and studied during their time there.

The institute was founded in 1923 and operated as a training center for peasant leaders until 1926 under the First United Front. Mao Zedong taught the final group of students before the institution closed its doors.

The site began as the Panyu Confucian School, founded in 1370; its present layout dates from 1747. The name visitors see on the gate, Panyu Xuegong, recalls that scholarly past. Since the 1950s the halls have displayed the institute's story, and the Dacheng Hall, 24.72 metres wide and 12.62 metres tall with a single-eaved hip roof and yellow glazed tiles, remains the largest structure.

Visitors can walk through the rooms and classrooms to understand how instruction took place and how students lived on site. It helps to spend time viewing the exhibitions and documents to gain a fuller sense of the daily activities that occurred there.

The sixth term, held from May to September 1926, was the largest: 327 students drawn from 20 provinces and regions, with Mao Zedong as director. He personally taught three courses, including "The Chinese Peasant Question", and "Analysis of the Classes in Chinese Society" was first presented here.
