Applicant: Anguo City, Hebei Province

Anguo laodiao troupe belongs to the West Road laodiao troupe, which originated from Baiyangdian, Anxin County, Hebei Province. Before the founding of the people's Republic of China, there was no professional troupe in Xilu laodiao. The artists were half agricultural and half artistic, and the troupes were organized and scattered. In 1953, Anguo county established the old tune silk string troupe. With the help of the cultural authorities, it purified the traditional programs, created, transplanted and arranged new programs. In 1964, he changed to modern drama, rehearsed "blood and tears", "aunt Zhao" and "Chaoyang ditch", and transplanted Modern Peking Opera "red light", "Shajiabang" and "outwit Tiger Mountain". After the "Cultural Revolution", the original traditional repertoire was restored, and new plays such as "forced to Liangshan" and "dumb girl complain" were arranged. At the same time, many programs close to life were created, and many performances were performed in Hebei Province and Baoding area.
