Pozi Street is the birthplace of commercial civilization in Changsha.

It is described in detail in the book "Journey to Xiangcheng Ancient City". "North guest shan shan, south guest Suzhou and Hangzhou, gathered in Sri Lanka; The god of wealth and the god of fire, the old wolf will win three times; Catering, drug number, money house, all walks of life compete for hegemony, with the longest record during the period, such as Fire Palace, Yu He, Jiuzhitang ... "According to its research, Pozi Street has a history of 1200 years, and it is a veritable Millennium old street. Pozi Street has been the commercial center of Changsha since ancient times, and it is also an important place for people to celebrate and meet. By the time it reached its peak in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there were more than 200 well-known time-honored brands such as Fire Palace and Jiuzhitang, which still stand proudly in the business circle.

Pozi Street, once a "financial street", has become the most concentrated area of Changsha's financial industry and medicinal materials industry since the late Qing Dynasty. There were many money houses, gold houses (engaged in gold trading) and banks, which could be called "Financial Street" at that time. According to records, there were 14 banks registered on Pozi Street in 1934. Henghe Qianzhuang, the largest Li Wenyu Golden House and Yutaihua Golden House in Changsha are all gathered here, which has become a symbol of Changsha's commercial prosperity. In addition, Changsha Branch of the Central Bank, Mainland Bank, Juxingcheng Bank, Industrial Bank and Jincheng Bank are all located in this street. Jiuzhitang Pharmacy, founded in 1650, is also built on Pozi Street. It can be said that Pozi Street held the financial lifeline of Changsha at that time. 1949 after liberation, the "financial street" of that year no longer existed. The central bank changed to the staff hospital of the business hall, Henghe Qianzhuang to the kindergarten of the Shipping Bureau, Yutai Huajin to Changsha Department Store, and Li Wenyujin to Hunan Tea Company. ...

In the passage of time, Pozi Street records the history and culture of Changsha in a unique way. Why is Pozi Street so busy? As an ancient commercial street, for hundreds of years, from its formation, development to its peak, it is inseparable from Xiangjiang River water transport. In ancient times, land transportation was underdeveloped, and the wharf along the river became a commercial prosperity area. At that time, Pozi Street was connected with Xiaoximen Wharf by the river in the west, which was an important distribution center for many goods such as medicinal materials and cloth. Because businessmen gathered in shops, it further promoted the development of financial industry in this area. As far as its longevity is concerned, it can't be said that it is a miracle of the integration of historical culture, catering culture and folk culture contained in Pozi Street.
