From 1936 to 12, the Xi Incident led by patriotic generals Zhang Xueliang and Yang Hucheng of the Kuomintang and its peaceful settlement were important events in the history of China. On the basis of cooperation between the two parties, it played an important role in promoting the anti-Japanese national United front.
At that time, in the northwest, the main forces of the Kuomintang army centered on Xi 'an were the Northeast Army led by Zhang Xueliang and the 17th Route Army led by Yang Hucheng. Neither of these two armies is Chiang Kai-shek's clique, and has been repeatedly excluded. They were extremely dissatisfied with this, especially the Northeast Army. In the past, it blindly implemented Chiang Kai-shek's non-resistance policy and abandoned the Northeast, which was spurned by the people of China. Later, it was ordered to "suppress * * *", which caused heavy losses and was deeply felt by the whole army. After the Wayaobao meeting, China's * * * production party vigorously carried out the work of these two armies through various channels, strengthened Zhang's determination to resist Japan, and made the party's anti-Japanese national United front policy win first in the northwest.
Xi 'an was liberated on May 20th, 1949. After the founding of People's Republic of China (PRC), Xi 'an was once the seat of the Central Northwest Bureau and the Northwest Administrative Committee (the Central Northwest Bureau and the Northwest Administrative Committee were abolished). Municipalities directly under the central government: 1954 changed to provincial cities. Now it is a sub-provincial city. After more than 50 years of construction and development, Xi has formed a relatively complete urban service system with industrial system, and has become an important scientific research, higher education, national defense science and technology industry and high-tech industrial base in China, as well as a financial, scientific, technological, educational, tourism and business center radiating to the central and western regions in the north.
