Although I have admired the name of Yisu Society for a long time, I often have no time to explore this cultural landscape "at the doorstep of my home".
As my husband was on vacation in the past few days, we took a break from our busy schedule to go there.
The old site of Yisu Society is now the Yisu Society Centennial Museum. The city relies on this historical landscape to combine cultural elements such as the Grand Theater, Qingqu Society, Qinqiang Art Museum, exhibition hall, and food street. It is the newly completed Yisu Society.
Social and cultural district.
Today, the theater in the society is located in Dialect Square, with the Yisu Society Centennial History Museum as its back. It is large and bright, with modern lighting and stage design. It should have been renovated on the site of the original stage.
Founded in 1912, Yisu Society is one of the three oldest drama societies in the world.
In order to celebrate its 110th anniversary, the Xi'an Municipal Government has kept pace with the times and transformed it into a modern cultural district in order to better inherit the Yisu Society's Qin Opera art.
It is reported that in the past week, opera performances have been held from 2 to 4 pm every day during the anniversary period, providing an audio-visual feast for the citizens.
The exhibition hall in the block has recently held an art exhibition, which is about the Qin Dynasty. The emperors of the Qin, Han, Wu and Tang dynasties, and the prosperous scenes of singing, dancing and music are all listed on the exhibition walls.
The founding history of the Yisu Society and the characters in the Qin Opera plot are vivid, as well as a glimpse of the Qin landscape, as well as the children's Qin Opera graffiti works with a sudden change of painting style, which are very cute.
Upstairs of the exhibition hall are the Qingqu Club and the Qin Opera Art Museum.
The Qingqu Club's cross talk performance was performed in the evening. I have never been interested in cross talk, so I didn't stay too much.
The Qinqiang Opera Art Museum is worth a visit, and I saw some of its collections for the first time.
This so-called "Rubbing of Ta Yao Niang" is actually one of the lines engraved on the side of "The Epitaph of Mrs. Gao, a former scholar of the Tang Dynasty" in the 23rd year of Tang Kaiyuan (735 AD) in the stone carving collection of the Tang Dynasty West Market Museum. It was announced that
In the book "Epitaphs from the West Market Museum of the Tang Dynasty", it is called "Tang Dynasty Line Engravings of "Ta Yao Niang" Play Pictures", which is an important material for the study of Tang Dynasty dramas.
?If the Qin Opera Art Museum does not explain it in detail, visitors will be confused. I think it is necessary to make this suggestion to them next time I go there.
This is the first time I have seen this monument to the Liyuan Guild Hall of the Qing Dynasty. The four characters "Liyuan Guild Hall" are engraved on the top of the stele, and the origin of the construction of the guild hall and the new facilities are engraved on the bottom of the stele.
The Liyuan Guild Hall is actually the Sishengxing Palace in Luoma City. It was founded in Shuangzhaiban and is dedicated to Lao Lang, the God of Liyuan.
It is said that Emperor Ming of the Tang Dynasty founded the Liyuan, and later generations of actors regarded themselves as the children of the Liyuan to increase their social status. Therefore, they respected Emperor Ming as the God of the Liyuan and called him Lao Lang.
The stele records the fact that people built bell and drum towers on the original site.
In addition, the museum also has some collections of acrobatic figurines, musical figurines, scripts, and musical instruments, many of which are imitations.
It was already 5:30 in the afternoon after visiting the Qinqiang Opera Art Museum, and the Yisu Society Centennial History Museum had already closed, so we had to make an appointment next time.
We were exhausted and had no choice but to go to the energy supply station.
A little full, night falls.
The city is also beautiful at night and lit up with lights!
After walking around the neighborhood, walk home.
The Bell Tower and Drum Tower are still so beautiful in the night, which reminds me of the time when I took my parents to visit them.
Encountering the Capital City God's Temple on the road, we were attracted by its grand and exquisite archway and took a closer look.
The Capital City God's Temple is the City God's Temple with the highest administrative level in the northwest region and governs the cities and towns in all prefectures and counties in the northwest.
When we went, it was already closed.
According to my husband’s recollection, the temple is most lively during the Spring Festival temple fair, so we can go there again this spring to find out more.
It is reported that the temple was occupied by traders for a long time. Later, the government came forward to resettle the traders and returned the temple to the Taoist Association.
Even so, looking at it yesterday, the shops lined the streets are still an important part of the temple fair culture - the temple market.
One by one, I was recently diagnosed with vocal cord nodules. My husband and I have been seeking medical treatment for several days. It is a comfort to be able to visit historical sites in our spare time.
