抗日战争时期，平遥是晋中地区的重要战场。在艰苦卓绝的斗争中，当地人民创作了大量以抗战为主题的民歌，这些歌曲既是宣传动员的“武器”，也是记录历史与情感的载体，承载了“平遥精神”。

During the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Pingyao served as a crucial battlefield in central Shanxi. Amid the arduous struggles, local people created numerous folk songs themed on the resistance. Serving both as powerful tools for publicity and mobilization, these songs also preserve historical memories and sincere emotions, embodying the distinctive spirit of Pingyao.
