The concept of "discovery of children" and "child-oriented" made Chinese children’s drama flourish after the May 4th Movement.In particular,many children’s song and dance plays created by Li Jinhui as a representative have been recorded in the history books,and have exerted a wide and far-reaching influence on later generations.Under such a social background,children’s dramas in Xi ’an also began to sprout.In 1940,Mr.Han Joo Han,a Korean musician,devoted himself to the creation of children’s songs and dances while taking part in the anti-Japanese activities in China.In the children’s art class of the second nursing home in shaanxi province,he created three different forms of children’s song and dance works,such as"little goat","children without home" and "victory dance".In 1959,Xi ’an Song
