社火被禁,陕西村民与警察对峙(2026.02.19)

初三(2月19日),陕西西安周至县集贤镇,由于社火活动被禁,村民们与警察对峙了三个小时,最终得以举行活动。期间一村民用话筒对警察喊话:“拿人民那点钱,有愧不愧。”

On the third day of the Lunar New Year (February 19), in Jixian Town, Zhouzhi County, Xi’an, Shaanxi Province, villagers confronted police for three hours after a traditional shehuo folk performance was banned. In the end, they were allowed to hold the event.

During the standoff, one villager shouted through a loudspeaker at the police: “Taking that little bit of money from the people—don’t you feel ashamed?”
