today's water Hutong reporter Zhang Gang take green stone on the road in the old Ji'nan is not a new thing, Ji'nan spring more, more water, with the life of the spring There are many streets and alleys. If there are no springs in the streets, there are streets and alleys named after water. In the layout of the old Ji'nan, there have been more than a dozen water alley, not out of date to today, the remaining one, in the old city in the west gate, East Lian Tzu Lin courtyard street, West Zhi Ming Street.
the status quo: old houses were still in the early morning of June 22nd, and reporters came to this water alley. In the early morning of the heavy rain, the water marks in the streets of the water alley were not dry. It seemed to be back to the way that the residents had drawn water in the same year. The streets and lanes could smell the smell and smell of the smoke and the smoke from the homes of the two sides. The
alley does not pass straight from the east side to the west side. It also turns two corners in the middle. The west side is very narrow, and only about two people can walk side by side. In the middle of the Hutong, a stone tablet was placed on the corner, and the writing on it was blurred. The houses on either side are old cottages, and there are not many changes. The reporter noticed that on the wall of the east side of the water Hutong, it was not far away from the well of Hua Jia well, a sign of green bottom white character on the wall of the east side of the east side of the water, and the citizens were taking water here, ready to go home and wash clothes. "There are many alleys in old Ji'nan, but now only this one is called the same name." Ms. Liu said, "I heard the old man say that the street was busy, and now it is quite quiet. The street is too narrow, so there is hardly any stall to do business." In 1982, "Shandong Ji'nan city name Zhi" in the "water alley" has such a description: "east of tcilin courtyard street, West Zhi Ming Jie street, south facing double loyalty ancestral temple, North for Shou Kang building." The street is 80 meters long, 1.5-2 meters wide and old flat house. " In the eleven year (1885) of the Qing Emperor Guangxu, the stone tablet of the water Hutong (the existing wall of the middle section of the street) indicates that the street has a long history. The emergence of the street is related to the "Hujia well" in the West. Hua Jiajing is famous for its good water quality. In the past, this alley is the only way for residents to draw water, and the water is everywhere, so it is named "water alley". In the past, several water hutongs were competing for names, and those who did not struggle to read the data. It is not difficult to know that there are more than one water hutongs in Ji'nan.
the East and west sides of the south gate, along the South Moat, along the streets and lanes, there are five or six water hutongs along the lower reaches of the North River. South of Pipa bridge, there is a water Hutong that passes through five sacred gardens. This Hu Tong name is called Li Chengwu lane. It is not far away from the West. It is parallel to the five sacred Pavilion water hutongs. There are iron Buddha Temple alley, formerly known as water alley. South Gate Bridge West, the former Emperor Hall Street East section, formerly also called the water alley. Wangfu pool area is also a relatively concentrated place for water hutongs. The northern section of the wangzi street in Wangfu (formerly Wei Jia hutong) has been called the water Hutong. South of the Wangfu pool, there is a small street called Pingquan Hutong. It is also renamed the water Hutong. From the north of Wangfu pond to Qu Shui Ting Street, not far from Liu Shiquan, there was a water alley less than two meters wide.
so many water Hutong, now why is there only one? In 1934, along with the development of urban construction in Ji'nan, the naming of streets and alleys needs to be standardized, and several conventional "water Hutong" can only be retained. In the same year, it caused a dispute, and several "water hutongs" did not give in to each other. Finally, they had to decide by "self reporting". During this period, the only "water Hutong" is not involved in "self reporting" at the time, because people in the Hutong felt that there were nearly fifty years of stone monuments in the Hutong, famous "Hua Jia well", and hundreds of people from Shou Buddha building and western public to the "Hua Jia well", which often sprinkled water on the road. In fact, they do not need to "discuss themselves" to fight for their reputation. What was not expected was that the final "self-report" was the result of the approval of the majority of the votes in the water Hutong, which did not attend the meeting, and determined the status of the only "water Hutong" in Ji'nan.
