The artists in Xi'an Textile City face the fear of demolishing or not demolishing the factory buildings; the difference is that they have not experienced displacement. Only four months, the factory rent out. Under the background of high-profile support for creative industrial parks in Beijing, Shanghai and other places, the mayor of Xi'an issued the same slogan of "revitalization" after his "Weifu private visit" to the Textile City, so that the textile city was preserved and the bus lines were built. In the face of the change, the factory director was stunned. At the same time, he quickly increased the rent from 5.5 yuan per square meter per month to 11 yuan per square meter - although the price can only afford one day's rent at 798.

Nearly 30000 square meters of factory buildings in the Textile City Art District (Banpo International Art District) are divided into ABC three districts, all of which are rented out. One third of them are professional artists. Most of them, like Sudan and Xi Hongzhe, just graduated, rely on family support and do odd jobs for a living, hoping for success in the future. Most of the others have jobs as designers, commercial photographers, or museums. Contemporary art is only their semi professional hobby.

The artists in Xi'an have the tradition of Chang'an painting school, and live in a city with profound accumulation. The traditional college education artists should have a relationship with the ancient civilization, while the young people living in the network world are actively separating themselves from the city. "Their feeling is that they just live in Xi'an by chance. This is very similar to the small communities in the Qinling Mountains of Xi'an corresponding to the textile city. Some middle-aged artists in Xi'an built houses in Qinling Mountains to live peacefully and stay aloof from the world. Many of their children are engaged in art, so they set up studios in the textile city to actively participate in the exhibition in Beijing and pursue success.
