Usage history

In September 1935, Kong Xiangxi and other committee members proposed to build the Great Hall of the people in the capital, which could be used by the National Theater and music academy and the National Gallery of fine arts, with the approval of the central executive committee of the Kuomintang. The proposed building plan and all the equipment should be suitable for the use of the Great Hall of the nation. In the future, it can be used as both a theater and a meeting place, killing two birds with one stone, without waste.

On November 20, 1935, the Preparatory Committee of the Great Hall of the people opened the bid in public, and the final winner was the contractor of Shanghai lugenji construction plant. According to the evaluation of the Preparatory Committee, Xi Fuquan, an architect from the Department of public interest engineering, was the first choice for the design scheme, while Guan Songsheng and Zhao Shen ranked second and third respectively. The project was supervised by Li zongkan, an architectural engineer of taoji engineering firm. The Great Hall of the nation, also known as the National Theater and music academy, is basically in the form of modern theater. The facade of the building adopts the three section division method of plinth, wall body and dur department, which is commonly used in modern western architecture. However, the appearance, window pattern, canopy and door leaf are treated with simplified Chinese patterns. The internal structure is reasonable and the sound effect is very good. Yingjie is an office with two-story lounges on both sides. The stage is a crescent shaped orchestra. The hall is well-equipped, with automatic voting device and voice translation device. There are more than 3000 seats in the hall, all of which are velvet spring seats. During the Anti Japanese War, Nanjing was occupied by the enemy, so the great hall was occupied by the Implementation Committee of the puppet constitutionalism. Both sides of the great hall were occupied by the intelligence room of the puppet Central Military Commission (later renamed as the reporting room). After the victory of the Anti Japanese War, the Kuomintang was still in Nanjing. At that time, the houses and internal facilities of the Great Hall of the people were in a state of disrepair. After the founding of new China, the Great Hall of the people was renamed the Great Hall of the people, which has been valued and protected by the government. The Great Hall of the people is directly managed by the Nanjing Municipal People's government.
