     As in the whole country, cadres and poor and lower-middle peasants in our Taning County, inspired by the spirit of the National Conference on Learning From Tachai in Agriculture, were greatly stimulated and high in spirits and resolved to fight hard in the movement of learning from Tachai in agriculture and building Tachai-type counties everywhere.
     In the face of the excellent situation, the anti-party clique of the "gang of four,"--Wang, Chang, Chiang and Yao--stepped up their antiparty activities and strengthend their attacks on the party. […]
     Under the influence of their incorrect line, some cadres in our Taning County had the feeling of "It is safe to grasp revolution, it is dangerous to grasp production," with the result that class enemies seized the chance to make trouble, capitalism and anarchism ran rampant, production on some communes and brigades developed slowly and little transformation occurred.]

     Recently published inscriptions about earthquakes in Shanxi provide the statistical information, which proves reliable when we compare the different records. […] An inscription from Daning county describes a similar toll: 175,800 people in Pingyang circuit died.
