During the period of China and War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, according to the situation at that time, the whole country was divided into red zones, white zones and guerrilla zones. White area refers to the cities and villages occupied by the Japanese army, ruled by traitors, puppet troops and the Japanese army. Ji 'an City, located in the middle of Jiangxi Province, was an important economic and transportation hub at that time, and also an important battlefield in the anti-Japanese struggle. At the beginning of the war, Ji 'an was occupied by the Japanese army and became a white area. However, in 1943, the guerrillas in Ji 'an City and Ninggang County launched a counterattack to liberate Ji 'an City and turn it into a red area.

In a word, Ji 'an used to be a white area during War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's period, but it was finally liberated and became a red area under the guerrilla's anti-Japanese struggle.
