The actual state of amateur group activities of entertainments in Shanghai during the late Republic era.

在研究中，笔者对民国后期上海业余群体的娱乐活动进行了全面的考察。在这一时期，由同行业员工组成的友谊组织“联谊会”的成员成为这些活动的主要参与者。他们练习京剧、民族合奏、广东音乐、弹词、话剧、口琴等，这些在当时的知识分子中很流行。由于联谊会是共产党的一个权力基础，他们引进了救国合唱团，鼓励抗日运动。这些“真正的娱乐活动”被认为是心理平衡的一部分。

In my research, I took a comprehensive view of entertainment activities practiced by amateur groups in Shanghai during the late Republic era. In this period, members of lianyihui, a friendship organization formed by employees in the same industry became main actors of these activities. They practiced Peking opera, national ensemble, Guangdong music, tanci, modern dramas, the harmonica etc, which were very popular among the intellectuals at that time. As lianyihui was a power base of the communist party, they introduced national salvation choruses encouraging resistance movement against Japan. These “authentic entertainment activities” were thought as a part of the equation of mind.
