Why is the arcade in Guangzhou called the arcade?

The arcade in Guangzhou originated from Beniapukur. Li Bingran Pukul was first built by British colonists, and it is called "Gallery House". Later it was introduced by overseas Chinese. Guangzhou people call the "corridor" an "arcade".

The first floor of the arcade consists of supporting columns without walls. Such as "clowns" and "arcades" on horseback. This kind of building has a feeling of riding a horse, so it is called "arcade". 19 12, Chen Jiongming promulgated the Regulations on Prohibiting Construction and Implementing Planning, which stipulated: "Anyone who builds a house on a river bank or a road should leave eight feet on private land to build an arcade with feet to facilitate traffic. The dripping water in front of the eaves must be led to the open channel through the sink and running water, and no awning is allowed, which will hinder pedestrians and hurt the embankment road. "

Because of Chen Jiongming's advocacy, this kind of "arcade with feet" has been popularized in Guangzhou. Therefore, Guangzhou has a "arcade" culture.
