Xi'an is an important region for the Red Fourth Army and the Red 25th Army to pass through during the Long March. In 2018, Xi'an University of Arts and Sciences conducted a centralized survey in Lantian, Chang'an, Yiyi, Zhouzhi and other places, visited 30 villages and towns, recorded 30 sites, and interviewed 42 people. The relevant sites are linearly distributed along mountain passages and traditional villages, covering various types such as military operations, camping, conference propaganda, mass support, and commemorative exhibitions, and have important historical, cultural, educational, and social values. This article systematically explains the distribution patterns, types, composition, and preservation status of archaeological sites, and proposes suggestions for protection and utilization such as improving resource lists, strengthening historical verification, promoting digital archiving, and constructing route-based displays.
