抗日战争时期的桂林,由于文人荟萃,抗日文化运动空前高涨,影响及国内外,被誉为“文化城”。胡愈之同志在《忆长江同志》一文中这样写道:“山明水秀的桂林,本来是文化沙漠,不到几个月竟成为国民党统治下大后方的唯一抗日文化中心了。”这是对桂林文化城历史地位和作用的高度概括。 During the War of Resistance Against Japan, Guilin was praised as a “cultural city” due to the high concentration of scholars and the unprecedented rise of the anti-Japanese cultural movement, affecting both at home and abroad. Comrade Hu Yuzhi wrote in his article titled “Comrade Chang Jiang Comrades:” Guilin, a beautiful mountain and beautiful scenery, was originally a cultural desert and in only a few months became the only anti-Japanese cultural center under the KMT’s rear. It is a high-level summary of the historical status and role of Guilin Cultural City.
