Meet Yan'an, the Yan'an 1938 Cultural District not to be missed

There are many places worth exploring in Yan'an 1938 Cultural District; this short trip to the big v is really not enough, I will come again. This time, I experienced the hardships of our revolutionary predecessors, the green mountains and green waters under the blue sky and white clouds of Yan'an, and appreciated the local customs and customs of northern Shaanxi and tasted delicious food. I also learned paper-cutting and storytelling in northern Shaanxi. The most shocking thing was the Ansai waist drum.

The "Yan'an 1938" cultural block is located on the first floor below the above-ground square. It surrounds the sunken square in a ring shape with a construction area of ??about 13,341 square meters. It meets at the entrance hall of the theater. The main outline is completely consistent with the street layout. Follow the streets and markets of Yan'an City in 1938. The main street building takes the architectural language of old Yan'an City as its overall style, incorporates modern fashionable creative elements, and partially restores some landmark buildings. The neighborhood is rationally planned for specialty food, entertainment and leisure, art trading, cultural and creative products and other businesses, with 98 divided shops. At present, there are "Shaanxi Xiaobei and Yanxiao'an", "Nanniwan Commune", "Fushi Collection Club", "Yan'an Gifts", "Xiaobalu Post Office", "Zao Zhi You", "359 Brigade Military Supplies Club" More than 80 specialty stores, including "Luochuan Meeting Kitchen", "Qiao Wife Embroidery" and "Shaanbei Grandma Wine", have become the most important cultural experience and consumption functional area of ??Zaoyuan Plaza.

At the same time, the entire block will also be turned into a red cultural show, with actors in period costumes performing live performances of "Red Song Cantata", "Ansai Waist Drum", "Northern Shaanxi Yangko", etc. The program, which is full of memories and folk customs from the past, restores the life atmosphere and situation of the old Yan'an City, allowing tourists to truly integrate into the old city and feel the passionate, romantic, idealistic history and memory. On October 1, 2015, the "Yan'an 1938" cultural block was rated as the "Yan'an Specialty Food Commercial Block".

Ansai waist drum is a Han folk dance in northern Shaanxi. The performance can be performed by a few people or thousands of people. The majestic momentum and superb expression are intoxicating. It is known as the best drum in the world. In 1996, Ansai County was named the Hometown of Chinese Waist Drums by the Ministry of Culture. On May 20, 2006, Ansai waist drum was approved by the State Council to be included in the first batch of national intangible cultural heritage lists. In ancient times, men from tribes in the Yellow River Basin often wrapped a hollow tree trunk in sheepskin, carried it around their waists, and struck it to drive away wild beasts. Later, in the Qin Dynasty, in order to prevent other nomads from invading the territory, every soldier carried a drum on his back for alarm.

Visit the handmade paper-cutting of the aunts in northern Shaanxi. They will explain it while cutting. Each pattern has a explanation. I am amazed by their ingenuity! The aunt in northern Shaanxi is very clever! Use their wisdom to inherit the paper-cutting culture! At the same time, it also expresses their yearning for a better life! I learned paper cutting with scissors and visited her cloth paintings. When she introduced her cloth paintings to me, she said:

''My cloth paintings are made with love for life. Created with enthusiasm, with longing for a better future, memory of the past, hope to pass on, blessings to collectors, with a sincere mentality, and come from their own lives, folk stories, as themes, life is just a few short years Ten years, leaving behind memories of the past and present, cherishing everyone who has passed through my life, thank you for meeting you...

Guxiu Culture Guxiu Culture is mainly engaged in the planning of cultural and artistic exchange activities ; Conference services; development and sales of tourism products; production and sales of grain paintings; Valley embroidery culture also includes grain embroidery paintings, which originated in the prosperous Tang Dynasty, when the grain was abundant and the country was peaceful and peaceful. "Five grains" have a very high status in Buddhist and Taoist rituals, and are regarded as mascots that capture the essence of heaven and earth. Folks regard "five grains" as a treasure to ward off evil spirits, so they use them in paintings. The rise of contemporary grain paintings reflects the harvest harvest in modern society.

When you are tired from shopping, take a break with a cup of tea. Listen to the storytelling from northern Shaanxi, put on a white turban, pick up the pipa, and learn from the master.

Northern Shaanxi storytellers and lyrics are popular and fluent, with strong local characteristics. They generally use five-character sentences or seven-character sentences, but are not limited by the number of words.

The 4D stage play "Red Show in Yan'an" is a visual feast of light images. Recalling history brings sadness, joy, and shock. Feeling the collision of history and modernity is more of a tribute to our ancestors!
