What are the old streets in Yangzhou?

An old street with a long history, I met many stories, saw them for a long time, and felt the lost years. Old streets always give people infinite reverie. In this old street, the quiet air will unconsciously remind you of the best and quietest time in your memory.

Today, Bian Xiao will introduce you to this place, which is also very suitable for old streets. That is Yangzhou, an ancient city with a long history and full of stories. Here, the old street here is destined to be full of lingering stories.

Xinsheng steet

In the memory of old Yangzhou, Xinsheng Street was once the most prosperous business district in Yangzhou.

At that time, the people here were fashionable, the nights were noisy, and there were many hotels for celebrities and restaurants for gourmets.

You can imagine the life of the rich in Yangzhou in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China: "Go to Fuchun for breakfast in the morning, listen to books in the teaching field after dinner, and stay in a hotel in Xinsheng Street for dinner at night."

Caiyi Street.

Walking west from the intersection of Guoqing Road and Dongguan Street is Caiyi Street in Yangzhou.

The name of this old street comes from the colorful shops that used to stand on the street. Caiyi Street was recorded in Yangzhou Painting Boat Record, calling it "the back building of the Transportation Department, where there used to be a clothing bureau, and then embroidery, costumes and estimated clothes were laid on the street."

Mashikou

This is the place name that old Yangzhou is still talking about. Mashikou, in the middle of Xiewanzi Street, is connected with Dengcaohang and Yun Tong South Street. Although the horse market in the Ming Dynasty has long been annihilated, this ancient place name has been stubbornly passed down for more than 400 years-Yangzhou people have passed it down from generation to generation, leaving the initial mark of this alley city.

Chongde lane

Among the residential groups on the east side of Pishi Street, there is a Gu Xiang named Chongde Lane, with a total length of only 100 meter, but there are dozens of old buildings with unified styles in the late Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China on both sides of the alley. Walking into the alley is like going back to ancient times.

When I looked up, those weather-beaten brick walls seemed to be silently telling their history, whether prosperous or depressed, sweet or bitter, all in silence.

Anle lane

Anle Lane is a 3-meter-wide and 200-meter-long north-south carriageway, which is connected to Youhuo Lane in the north and Dashuang Lane in the south. There are not many pedestrians in the alley, and it is very quiet. According to the residents in the alley, it used to be mostly a scholarly family.

In the alley, there is the former residence of Zhu Ziqing, a national cultural relics protection unit, which was built in the late Qing Dynasty and has been well preserved so far. It is a traditional courtyard-style residence with three entrances in Yangzhou.

Beiliu lane

Beiliu Lane is adjacent to Xiaoqinhuai River in the west, which is a roadway with a width of 3 meters and a length of about 1000 meters. Beiliu Lane is the only Gu Xiang in the ancient city of Yangzhou, Gu Xiang with special terrain.

On both sides of the streets on the south and north slopes of Beiliu Lane, houses are built on the slopes. At the top of the northern slope, there is a private house. On the wall on one side of the house, there is a street sign with the words "Belon" written on it. The old man in the alley said that this is the highest point of Yangzhou ancient city.

Nanliu lane

There is a saying among the old Yangzhou people that Yangzhou City is protected by a dragon vein. This is the good wish of the old Yangzhou people to Yangzhou, and it also has a unique historical and cultural meaning. The South Sixth Lane and the North Sixth Lane, where Bellon is located, are separated by only one street, and are called "Dragon Neck".

Jiuxiangshi lane

Jiutiao Lane in the old city is T-Lane on the north side of Wenchang Middle Road, south to Renfengli, north to Shi Xiang and west to Yuandong Street.

Shi Xiang is a cross carriageway, starting from Wuben Bridge in the west and crossing to Fushou Pavilion in the east, reaching Jiuxiang Vertical and Horizontal in the south, Ruanjia Courtyard in the north and Dadongmen Bridge in the northeast.

Jinyu lane

Yangzhou is not only famous for its long history of goldfish breeding, but also one of the birthplaces of China court goldfish, which were sold to many countries in its heyday. Because of goldfish, there is an alley in Yangzhou called goldfish lane.

pishi jie

Leather goods have always been a symbol of fashion and elegance. Yangzhou, a rich place in history, of course has fur business, and finally formed a "fur street", which is Pishi Street.

A renovation in 2006 made Pishi Street, an old street, one of the most talked about streets among residents. After the renovation, this street with a width of 1 1 m and a length of 689 meters was paved with granite and granite.

Wanshou steet

Once upon a time, there was a very famous Manjuki whose street was named after a temple. It is said that full house was founded in the Tang Dynasty. It is said that the temple was originally named Dong Yin 'an, but it is not recorded in relevant historical materials.

In the Qing Dynasty, there were many wealthy families and private gardens in Yangzhou, and the owners of the gardens always had several concubines. It is said that there was a tradition at that time that a concubine or a child should always become a monk. "It's all superstitious thoughts of the rich. This is to pray for the family and accumulate virtue."

Jiajian bridge

Jiajian Bridge is an alley winding from southwest to northeast. The southwest intersects Yongsheng Street, and the northeast intersects with minced meat lane. Although the alley is in the center of the city, it is a quiet alley.

Xiapu steet

Go through Tangzi Lane and Fenzhuang Lane, and you can reach Xiapu Street. Hundreds of years ago, this alley was directly connected with Nanmen Street. "The fragrant powder is nothing like Xie Fuchun", and the classic Xie Fuchun fragrant powder shop started here.

The small ocean building in the picture below was built by American missionary Bierce in the eighteenth year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty. Seen from a distance, this foreign building is obviously different from the surrounding buildings in China. The building is a herringbone spire, which looks like Gothic style.

Stories always seem to be inseparable from old streets. The old streets in Yangzhou are very contemporary. Perhaps because of its long history, the old streets here also consciously fit the atmosphere here. It is a quiet and restrained old street. It has been here for a hundred years, watching people come and go and watching the clouds in the sky.
