20230311 afternoon: 1. The "Guangxi Provincial Art Museum" is the only theater performance venue in China that has survived the War of Resistance Against Japan. It is the earliest comprehensive art education institution in China. It was founded in the 33rd year (1944) of the Republic of China. It is owned by Ouyang Yuxuan, a famous patriotic dramatist in China. Tian Han, the author of the national anthem "March of the Volunteer Army", prepared for construction and struggled on the front line of the cultural battlefield of China's Anti-Japanese War. ① Address: No. 15 Jiefang West Road, Xiufeng District, Guilin City. ② Transportation: direct bus access, hard to stop driving. ③ peak season: no. ④ Time: 1 hour. 2. The art museum is a two-story deep red Chinese and Western style building, the wall Western red brick texture is scattered, dense and neat, milky yellow, square windows embedded with Chinese window fans, the roof is also Chinese gray blue tile. From the gap of the backyard iron gate, you can see that the floor tiles in the backyard are red and white squares, which are very artistic and visual effects. 3. In February 1944, the "First Drama Exhibition in Southwest" was held in this museum for three months. More than 30 drama teams in eight provinces in southwest China (Guangdong, Guangxi, Hunan, Hubei, Yunnan, Guizhou, Fujian and Jiangxi) performed more than 60 repertoires, greatly encouraging the confidence of China's military and civil society in fighting Japan and saving the country. Morale. The original museum was destroyed by Japanese artillery in 1944, and the building in front of it was rebuilt on the original site in 1946. 4. I happened to pass by when I returned to the hotel after visiting the scenic spot "Reed Flute Rock". I saw a large group of little beauties outside the building taking pictures, so I stopped to study the building carefully and almost missed it. At present, the art museum is still in use, but it has been closed in the afternoon and it is a pity that I can't visit the interior.

The former site of the Guangxi Provincial Art Museum, Xiufeng District, Guilin City, Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, the eighth batch of national insurance. Guilin once assumed the role of the cultural center behind the period of the War of Resistance Against Japan, and the Guangxi Provincial Art Museum was the iconic building of the War of Resistance Against Culture City, whether the building itself, the functional system, or the Southwest Opera Exhibition, which was an unprecedented creation in China at that time. The time was not good, and the whole building was closed and repaired. ​

Guangxi Provincial Art Museum is located at No. 15 Jiefang West Road, Xiufeng District, Guilin City. There is a bus stop here and the transportation is convenient. When I arrived in Guilin on the first day, I just got off the bus and saw an old red building across the road. It was a red brick and wooden structure, which was very charming. After asking Tu and Cha Du Niang, I learned that this was organized and built by Ouyang Yu Qianqian, a famous dramatist in China, during the War of Resistance Against Japan. It was completed in 1944 and the opening ceremony of the first drama exhibition in the southwest was held here. In the autumn of 1944, the Japanese army was destroyed by war when they invaded Xianggui. After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japan, the original site was rebuilt in 1946. The Guangxi Provincial Art Museum was an art institution established by a group of progressive cultural figures gathered in Guilin during the War of Resistance Against Japan, which played a positive role in promoting the art of drama, art, music and other arts in Guangxi. It is "the first professional theater in China" and is known as "the first great building in the history of Chinese drama". When I left Guilin the next day, I dragged my suitcase and walked past the Guangxi Provincial Art Museum to visit. Unfortunately, it was still early and there was no opening. Only enjoy the sidewalk outside the wall. This building with the characteristics of the Republic of China architecture style, the jujube red exterior wall, the heavy and complicated window sill, everywhere show its unique artistic charm.

This attraction should really go before July 1st, and do not need tickets, you can understand the history and humanities of Guilin City! I like it!
