1930年代中期以前陝西地區的共產革命在中共革命史的研究中，往往較不受到重視。學者們大多只會提到劉志丹、謝子長，或者是他們所領導的陝甘邊區和游擊隊與紅軍，甚少提到陝西其他地區的革命運動和人物。事實上，陝西地區的共產革命還有許多值得探究之處。其中渭北革命根據地更可說是中共在陝西地區所建立的第一塊農村根據地，但相關研究並不算多。本文擬利用當代中國大陸出版的中共組織史資料等材料，主要是透過對中共陝西省委和渭北等地區的黨組織及其成員進行分析，藉此探究1930年代前期渭北乃至整個陝西地區共產革命運動中尚未被人發現的某些特質。

The communist revolution history in Shaanxi before Mao Tse-tung’s arrival with the Central Red Army in October 1935 has long evaded scholarly attention. Researchers who made rare mention of this period only touch upon Liu Zhidan, Xie Zichang, and the Shaan-Gan area where they were based. In fact, for the history of the communist revolution in Shaanxi Province, there are still many interesting aspects deserving further exploration, especially the Weibei area where the CCP created its first rural base in Shaanxi. This article looks into the material on the early organizations of the CCP. By examining the history of CCP’s party organizations and the cadres active in this period, this article delineates the key features characterizing the Chinese Communist revolution in Weibei area and, by extension, Shaanxi province, in the early 1930s.
