West 1st Road Old Community
Xiyi Road West Head Road South, East Case Ban Street, South to East Street, West to North Street, covering an area of about 87 acres of Yi Folk Society Cultural Block, is a key project in Xi'an to meet the 14th Games and accelerate the construction of the National Central City, and is also the latest net red block in Xi'an City in September 2021.
Speaking of the Yi Folk Society Cultural Block, I have to talk to you about the Yi Folk Society that used to be on the West Road.
In 1912, in order to awaken the people's spirit of democratic revolution, Li Tongxuan, Sun Renyu and a large number of other intellectuals initiated the establishment of China's first new Qin-style art group, Yi Folk Society, which integrates opera education, directing and acting, with the purpose of "changing customs and customs, enlightening the people's wisdom, assisting education, and promoting the old and innovating".
In 1924, when Lu Xun was invited to xi'an to give a lecture, he watched qin cavity several times at the Yi Folk Society Theater and presented a plaque with the inscription "Ancient Tune Solo Bomb".
In 1951, the Yi Folk Society was taken over by the Xi'an Municipal Government, and later the Yi Folk Society became the first public demonstration drama society in the Xi'an opera industry. After being taken over by the government, the Yi Folk Society has performed in Beijing many times, and excellent plays such as "Three Drops of Blood" and "Xi'an Incident" have been well-known throughout the country, and Liu Shaoqi, Zhou Enlai, Zhu De, and other central leaders have also given quite high evaluations after watching them.
For more than 100 years, the Yi Folk Society has produced many famous Artists of qin cavity, creating more than 800 plays and more than 1,000 volumes. In 1960, the filming and dissemination of the first Qin Cavity film "Three Drops of Blood" made great contributions to the development of Qin Cavity art. In 2020, the filming of the first 3D Qin Cavity movie "Three Drops of Blood" created a precedent for the inheritance and dissemination of Qin Cavity in the new era.
Not only in the history of the development of the Qin Cavity, the Yi Folk Society has played an indispensable role, and in the revolutionary history of China, the Yi Folk Society Theater has also played a pivotal role.
In 1936, in the Xi'an Incident that caused a sensation in the whole country, the Yi Folk Society Theater, as an important place of the Xi'an Incident, attracted military and political officials from Nanjing with wonderful performances at that time, played a confusing role, created conditions for xi'an to become successful, and well fulfilled the heavy responsibility entrusted by history at this special moment. In 1938, the Northwest Field Service Regiment of the Eighteenth Group Army, a comprehensive anti-Japanese literary and art propaganda group led by Ding Ling, came to Xi'an with the victory of the Eighth Route Army in Shanxi Banner and the Communist Party's proposition and determination to resist Japan in an all-round way. The Northwest Field Service Regiment of the Eighteenth Group Army was preparing to stage the drama "Assault", which reflected the unity of the military and the people in the War of Resistance, but it was constrained by the Kuomintang side. The Yi Folk Society provided performance venues, costumes, props and manpower assistance for the Northwest Field Service Group of the Eighteenth Group Army, and supported the Northwest Field Service Group of the Eighteenth Group Army in publicizing the Party's Anti-Japanese War Program with artistic weapons, so that the Eighth Route Army won the warm welcome and support of the broad masses.
Later, the Yi Folk Society developed into the three ancient drama societies known as the World Art World together with the Bolshoi Theatre and the Royal Theatre of the United Kingdom, and has now become a unique brand of Qin Cavity culture, and an important cultural business card of Xi'an and even Shaanxi, which not only witnessed the development and rise and fall of Qin Cavity art and Chinese opera in the past hundred years, but also witnessed the development and changes of Xi'an and even the whole of China in the past hundred years.
In 2006, the Yi Folk Society Theater was included in the sixth batch of key cultural relics protection units in The country. In 2014, the Yi Folk Society was named a national intangible cultural heritage key protection unit.
From the launch of the 2018 Yi Folk Society Cultural Block Organic Renewal Project with "Yi Folk Society" as the cultural brand, featuring Qin Cavity Culture, based on "streets, squares, alleys and courtyards", combining traditional culture protection with urban construction, and driving the surrounding economic and cultural construction, to september 2021, it is officially opened in September 2021, it is relying on the 109-year-old Qin Cavity Opera Society Yi Folk Society, through renovation, new museums, stages, streets, squares and other activities, display spaces, etc., integrating Qin Cavity art exhibitions and Performances, Chinese and foreign drama exchanges It is also the first opera cultural block in China with functions such as museum display, opera education inheritance, cultural creativity, etc., and is also a new window of urban culture that inherits and displays Qin cavity art, carries forward the excellent traditional Chinese culture, and highlights the cultural charm of Shaanxi.
Since it was officially opened to the public, in a very short period of time, the Yi Folk Society Cultural Block has become another Internet celebrity block in Xi'an. Although the COVID-19 pandemic continues, many people come here every day to punch in and take photos, and even bring their children to hang out.
From the opening of the Longhai Railway in Xi'an in the 1930s to the prevalence of internet merchants, that is, before the transformation of shantytowns in the Jiefang Road area, especially in the Minyuan area, Jiefang Road has always been one of the most prosperous and lively streets in Xi'an. In addition, the south of West 1st Road is next to East Avenue, the west is North Street, the southeast and west sides were once the most prosperous and lively streets in Xi'an, and there was Shangpu Road, Case Board Street communication equipment sales and maintenance street, Tanshi Street aquatic seafood street, Shangde Road beauty salon street ... Therefore, the former status of Xiyi Road in Xi'an is also extraordinary.
