Background:
In 1943, the Lu Xun Academy of Fine Arts Yangge team intended to go to Nanniwan, Yan'an, to pay tribute to the 359th Brigade of the Eighth Route Army, and the choreographers, after a lot of hard thinking, finally came up with a rice-planting dance called "Pick the Flower Baskets," which consisted of eight actresses picking eight pairs of flower baskets, accompanied by a song that they performed on the stage.
Lyricist He Jingzhi received the task of creating lyrics for the song, combined with his own deep knowledge and experience of the military and civilian production movement in the border areas, especially the 359th Brigade's reclamation of Nanniwan, and wrote the lyrics for the song in one go. Afterwards, the composer Ma Ke used the tune of the northern Shaanxi folk song to compose the music for the interlude. This episode was later named "Nanniwan".
