The Gutian Congress or Gutian Conference (simplified Chinese: 古田会议; traditional Chinese: 古田會議; pinyin: Gǔtián huìyì) was the 9th meeting of the 4th Red Army and the first after the Nanchang Uprising and the subsequent southward flight of the rebel troops. It was convened in December 1929 in the town of Gutian in Shanghang County, Fujian Province.
The Gutian Congress was important in establishing the principle of absolute party control over the military, which continues to be a core principle of the ideology of the Chinese Communist Party and the organization of the People's Liberation Army.
