新四军自建军之初就十分重视文艺宣传工作,各部队普遍成立了文艺团体,用文艺武器动员群众,鼓舞士气。新四军战地服务团拥有吴晓邦等著名舞蹈艺术家,在战地演出中发挥了重要作用,极大地鼓舞了军民士气。拂晓剧团等新四军文艺团体也积极开展舞蹈活动,取得了很大的成绩。新安旅行团在皖南事变后来到盐阜区,对于新秧歌运动在新四军和盐阜区的普及发挥了重大作用,大大丰富活跃了新四军的部队文化生活。 Since the very beginning of the founding army, the New Fourth Army has attached great importance to propaganda and literary work. All military forces have set up literary and art groups in general and mobilized the masses with literary and art weapons to boost their morale. The New Fourth Army Field Service, which owns such famous dance artists as Wu Xiaobang, played an important role in the field performance and greatly encouraged the morale of the military. Dawn Theater and other New Fourth Army art groups also actively carry out dance activities, and achieved great success. The Xin’an tour group came to Yanfu District after the Southern Anhui Incident and played a significant role in popularizing the New Yangge Movement in the New Fourth Army and the Yanfu District. It greatly enriched the army’s cultural life of the New Fourth Army.
