The white-haired girl originated from the hero "Xi 'er" in the folklore of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei border region. She became a young white-haired girl because of the persecution in the old society. As the name suggests, she is called "white-haired girl". 65438-0945, Lu Xun Art College in Yan 'an collectively created the opera "White-haired Girl". This is a literary work with far-reaching historical influence, which was created in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, a liberated area controlled by China in the late 1990s. This work was later adapted into a variety of art forms and lasted for a long time. After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), the literary and artistic works created in this special period became the treasures of China's intangible cultural heritage.

"White-haired Girl" takes the folklore of the Shanxi-Chahar-Hebei border region as the main material and is refined and processed according to the reality of the revolutionary struggle at that time. The main plot is that Huang Shiren, the bully landlord, killed Yang Bailao, a kind and honest tenant, snatched his daughter Xi 'er and raped her, and finally forced her to flee into the mountains. Xi survived tenaciously with a strong will for revenge. Due to the lack of sunshine and salt, she turned white all over and was called "the white-haired fairy" by the nearby villagers. The Eighth Route Army liberated here, led the peasants to defeat Huang Shiren, and rescued Xi 'er from the mountains. Xi 'er has completely reformed and started a new life. Through Xi Er's experience, the whole drama profoundly expresses the theme of "The old society forced people into ghosts, and the new society turned ghosts into people", which truly reflects the contradiction between the poor peasants and the landlord class in the semi-colonial and semi-feudal society, and proves that only the people's revolution led by * * * can break the feudal shackles and liberate Xi Er and the millions of peasants in Qian Qian who share the same fate with Xi Er.
