Wei Jia Zhuang, a landscape in old Ji'nan
Wei Jia Zhuang, a view of the old Ji'nan
after the opening of the city, the development of the ancient city was called the epitome of the development of the ancient city,
the transportation route after the opening of the port, the Wei Jia Zhuang in the middle of the city of Ji'nan, a hundred years ago. It is a typical rural area. It is adjacent to the west wall of the old city of Ji'nan. From this village to the west, it is an endless agricultural area, like the "urban and rural combination" of the new noun. It is precisely because of the unique geographical location of Wei Jia Zhuang that its large agricultural area in the West was opened up as a commercial port in the early twentieth Century. With the construction and development of commercial ports, the word "township" of Wei Jia Zhuang's "urban-rural fringe" turned into "Shang" and became the "city (old city) business (commercial port) Integration Department".
thirty-four years of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty (1908 AD), because the city walls of the old city of Ji'nan obstruct the traffic in and out of the city, especially the transportation routes of the commercial ports through the city on the two road, then open the pricmen in the wall of the west city. Weijia Zhuang original street east-west, its east side and two way crosses, west mouth and three road connection, and perpendicular to the intersection of Weiyi road. At the same time, there are several lanes between Wei Jia Zhuang and Jing two road, and there are lanes and alleys connected to the four roads of Lin Xiang street, commonly known as the southern Wei Jia Zhuang in the south. Therefore, Wei Jia Zhuang is located in the commercial port, adjacent to the old city, accessible in all directions, convenient transportation, and has naturally become a good place for people to live and do business.
a prosperous commercial street
with the development of Ji'nan commercial port and railway traffic, Wei Jia Zhuang, not far from the railway station, is more important in geographical position. Its original villages and farmlands quickly disappeared, which took the place of about 3 kilometers from the east to the West. There were more and more new houses and shops on the roadside, and a number of small street alleys were formed. The streets and lanes in Wei Jia Zhuang area were originally earth roads. Due to the increase of population, there were more and more horses and horses. Many of the dirt roads were converted to Qingshi road. At the beginning of the 20s of last century, the Qingshi Road, 7 meters wide in Wei Jia Zhuang Street, was completed with the two roads and three roads. The road was flat and many vehicles came and came.
at this time, Wei Jia Zhuang has formed a fairly prosperous commercial street. On the south, there are Meifeng perfumery business, Yufeng permanent sauce shop, half product hall traditional Chinese medicine shop, Hongxing yuan grocery shop, Zhangjia shoe shop, Zhao Jiachuang castor shop, Dujia smoked fish shop, jade grilled chicken shop and so on. The shop of color painter, xujiajia bicycle, Bao Guang ink club, Taoyuan smoky Pavilion, and "Korea" people's shop. There are also some businesses in the alleys, such as tailor shops, teahouses, steamed buns, pancake shops, horse drawn carriages, military uniform, filing factories, grain stores, charcoal stores, etc.
also the west of the building group
Wei Jia Zhuang's traffic and shopping environment are very convenient, attracting large numbers of residents. The real estate developers who have won the first prize have made use of bureaucratic capital to build a large number of buildings. In the north-south direction of the Minkang lane, the Road East Road West has a completely symmetrical and uniform quadrangle. The tree Delhi, parallel to this small street, is a three story small western style building with the same style. At the time, Wei Jia Zhuang was called a collection of people: the residents who came to buy and lease were businessmen, teachers, engineers, accountants, doctors, officials, religious people and so on. Then, Wei Jia Zhuang's social group has Birming primary school (post commendable primary school), Ji'nan City Bar Association, Shandong Red Cross Society (also the commendable Institute). In addition, there is a Bodhi temple.
there are two places in the "quiet" of Wei Jia Zhuang Street. One is the pines garden in Luan, a private garden of "Shandong governor" in the old time. In the twenty-nine year of the Republic of China, the Republic of Republic of China was resold to several merchants to rebuild their houses; another was the public of a "Shaanxi governor" in the other road. The rear garden of the museum is called the Taoyuan. The garden of the garden and the front yard, until the 40s of last century, is still well preserved, the garden and the garden are beautiful, the vine shelf is full of purple flowers, the tall parasol tree covers the whole courtyard, and the flowers and trees such as clove, Begonia, pomegranate, peach tree, and a rocky rocky mountain in the peach orchard.
cultural life colorful
in the 30s of last century, the tar road of commercial port was built to Wei Jia Zhuang, widening the street to 11 meters. Soon, the sewers were built on both sides of the street. At the same time, the drinking water conditions of local residents have been greatly improved. Besides all wells, tap water has been distributed to many other households. At that time, the cultural life of Wei Jia Zhuang residents was also enriched. Every festival celebrating, every household lights up, the whole Wei Jia Zhuang is very lively. At that time, the makeup stilts of Wei Jia Zhuang were well known and often participated in festivals.
since Ji'nan opened up commercial ports, the new market and Wei Jia Zhuang were developing together, and the local people used to call the new market Nangang son. This more than 15 thousand square meter area is one of the two public cemetery in the West and north of Ji'nan old city. Commonly known as the public cemetery for the burial Gang, this southern funeral burial is referred to as Nangang son. In such a remote and desolate place, Ji'nan's first generation of new comprehensive market has been formed from scratch. Therefore, people have given it a good name for "new market". According to records, in 1930s, the new market has developed into a prosperous place for commodity management and catering and entertainment. There are more than 200 shops and restaurants, and more than 20 movies and opera houses, bookstores and tea gardens have become a good place for local residents to enjoy leisure.
two events worth commemorating
the old Ji'nan's Wei Jia Zhuang has two important events to be remembered forever: one, the "53 Massacre", also known as the Ji'nan massacre. In the seventeen years of the Republic of China (AD 1928), the Japanese invaders made the "53 Massacre" in Ji'nan. On May 3rd, a group of propagandist members of the Northern Expeditionary Army posted slogans at Wei Jia Zhuang, killing several people by the Japanese invaders. The Japanese invaders and captured the Northern Expeditionary soldiers, massacred the people of Ji'nan and killed more than 10 thousand Chinese soldiers and civilians. The atrocities of the Japanese aggressors aroused great outrage among our countrymen.
Second, when we liberated Ji'nan in 1948, the west line troops attacked the city and Wei Jia Zhuang was a must. The North Building of Shandong Red Cross Society in Minkang is the tallest building in this area. Our scouts climbed on the top of the building to observe the enemy, hit a signal gun to the army, and were bombarded by enemy guns. The scouts used a pavilion on the roof to cover up the task. The east wall of the building is now the best commemoration of the battle. After the liberation of Ji'nan, Wei Jia Zhuang is densely populated, and some agencies and units are stationed here. In the following decades, Wei Jia Zhuang, including the new market, was very old and the layout of the whole building remained basically intact. Now, the time to break this backward situation has come. According to the planning of Ji'nan's construction and development, Wei Jia Zhuang's position will become very important, and will become the city's financial business center.
