1943, while the Japanese puppet troops attacked the anti-Japanese base areas on a large scale, the Kuomintang die-hards also stepped up their blockade and surrounded the anti-Japanese base areas. In the most difficult period of the base area, Mao Zedong issued the call of "do it yourself and have plenty of food and clothing", and a large-scale production movement was widely launched in the base area.

The troops, institutions and schools in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region all participated in the large-scale production movement of reclamation, spinning and weaving. The leaders of the Central Committee personally took part in the mass production movement. In order to praise the Eighth Route Army soldiers who contributed to the mass production in the base areas, He Jingzhi of Lu Yi Drama Department wrote lyrics, and Kyle of Music Department composed the musical Flower Basket.

Later, He Jingzhi and Kyle revised "Flowers in a Flower Basket" and adapted it into "Nanniwan". The song "Nanniwan" was soon sung in the border area and the rear area. Nanniwan enthusiastically praised the Eighth Route Army soldiers who contributed to the mass production in the base areas. Nanniwan's songs spread all over the motherland, and Yan 'an spirit was also brought to all directions of the motherland with Nanniwan's songs. ?

He Jingzhi wrote Nanniwan.

Since 1942, the earth-shaking changes in Nanniwan have strongly attracted many celebrities, who have come to visit in an endless stream and written many poems. Fan Ting, a famous patriotic general, wrote more than 20 poems about Nanniwan, Xiaosan's I came to Nanniwan twice and He Qifang's prose Remember General Wang Zhen all highly praised Nanniwan's reclamation achievements.

From 65438 to 0943, the military and civilian mass production movement in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia border region gradually reached its climax, and the 359 Brigade became famous as a "production model" in the border region. This year, Yan 'an military and civilians carefully organized condolences and brought cultural programs to Nanniwan to comfort all the officers and men of the 359 Brigade. When the Yangko Team of Lu Xun Art College in Yan 'an was in charge of preparing cultural programs, some people thought it was necessary to rehearse a program related to the 359 Brigade.

After some hard thinking, the creative staff finally conceived a yangko called "picking flower baskets", in which eight actresses picked eight pairs of flower baskets and performed on the stage with the intermission. The last lyric of the interlude is called Nanniwan.

After receiving the task of writing lyrics for this episode, the poet He Jingzhi, combined with his deep understanding and experience of the mass production movement of the soldiers and civilians in the border region, especially the reclamation of Nanniwan by the 359th Brigade, fully brewed and wrote the lyrics in one go. Kyle used the mode of folk songs in northern Shaanxi to compose music for him.

Yangko "Flower Basket" was deeply loved by all officers and men of the 359th Brigade in Nanniwan condolence performance. Wang Zhen happily stepped onto the stage, shook hands with the performers and took a group photo as a souvenir. The song "Nanniwan" was born.

Later, with the tour of Flower Basket in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region, especially after Guo sang, this song quickly became popular in the border region and spread all over the country. And the artistic life of a generation of famous singer Guo began.
