the National Day holiday I did not go anywhere, around the streets of Ji'nan to explore the old place names, and really a lot of baby, collect many other kinds of stories that have not been familiar. During my visit, I found that the place names in Ji'nan are implicit, readable, unconventional, artistic, and add color to Ji'nan.
Ji'nan has the reputation of Quancheng, and many distinctive place names are related to springs. Such as the Black Tiger Spring Road, Qu Shui Ting Street, Wang Fu Chi Street, west iron corner street, hibiscus street, Zhen Chi Street, Lake Street, Hui Po lane, Yongquan Hutong, so that people think of the name of the spring water, in which there is a feeling of kissing the spring water. After the founding of new China, some streets and alleys have been renamed by merging and widening, and these new place names are linked to springs. For example, the Quancheng Road, the Ming Dynasty called the Jinnan Fu Street, the Qing Dynasty changed into the West Street or the West Manli street. In 1965, the people's Government merged the surrounding 5 streets together with the Quancheng Road, and then the 6 streets, such as Tung Dong Street, Fuxi street, Fu Dong Street, and the North-South street of Zheng Jia Hutong, Jinniu silk lane and Beidou lane, were merged into the newly named Quancheng road. It made the Quancheng road the gold medal road in Ji'nan.
the names of the main streets of Ji'nan are interesting, most of which are commensurate with the latitude and longitude of the earth, but opposite to the longitude and latitude of the earth. This is unique in China. It is a very unique idea. To prove its origin, there are many kinds of statements. Some said that it was from Han Fuju's handwriting that Han Fuju had deliberately reversed the direction of the warp and weft when he was chairman of Shandong Province, in order to show his authority and ambition to turn the earth into the earth. This argument is obviously not credible, because Han Fu has worked in Ji'nan longer than place names, and the following statement is more accurate. When the Jiaoji railway was opened in
1904, the Qing government made a five li and three mile wide area out of the west gate as a commercial port in Ji'nan. At that time, the textile industry in Ji'nan was flourishing. According to the custom of "the elder for the long, the short is the weft" of the ancient fabric, the authorities named the road in the East and west direction of the commercial port as "Jing". The South North Road is named "weft", which is intended to encourage Ji'nan's economic and trade development. In the initial construction of the commercial port, Ji'nan's warp and weft road was added to only four or five, and increased to 17 in 1921. Now, the longitude and latitude road is more and more, wider and longer. Only a ten road has 120 meters wide and 90 kilometers long. It has become a thoroughfare through the city and the axis of view of Ji'nan. Many changes in Jingwei road have witnessed the opening and development of Ji'nan.
opened the port to promote business prosperity, so a professional street came into being, such as scissors lane, grate lane, Jinjin City, basket street, flower shop Street, vegetable market street, copper Yuan Yi City Street and so on. These commercial streets are not only named with strong industry color, but also the special business mode of Post shop, wholesale and retail business has promoted the development of Ji'nan's commerce. Take the scissors lane, as Shanxi, Hebei, Beijing, and the blacksmiths of the province came here, and a long narrow cut lane was full of dozens of blacksmith shops. In addition to the famous scissors, other pot, shovel, knife, spoon, hoe, hoe, sickle, shovel, and all kinds of sounds are not missing. The noise of the alleys in the alley goes up and down, the sound of iron is jingling, and the business is still more red than the fire.
some old place names in Ji'nan are full of cultural atmosphere and have a deep cultural origin. There is a street on the south side of the provincial front street, which is used to announce the examinees' achievement. According to historical records, the Shandong provincial examinations in the two dynasties during the Ming and Qing Dynasties were held in August, and were published in September. On the day of the list, there was a lot of excitement around the list, the people on the list were cheering, the losers were dejected, and the little shed Street became the witness of countless examinees in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
Ji'nan is the political center of successive dynasties. There are no few streets and lanes named after the administrative administration of the dynasty. It is typical of the streets of Bu Zheng Shi, the street of Cha Si, the street of North Cha yuan, the Gong courtyard wall root street, the West shaft gate Street, the County East Lane, the County West Lane, the county rear alley, the Gao Du Si alley, the old army door lane and so on.
and some streets are named by surname, family, temple, famous mountain and so on, such as roojia Hutong, Miao lane, Taiping Temple Street, general Temple Street, double Chung Temple Street, Shun tillage Road, Wanshou Road and so on. Some of the streets are even named in their own shape, such as the wide alley, the narrow alley, the half alley, the East sickle, the Hutong, the sickle of the west, the wheel of the wheel. These names are humorous, simple and straightforward, with strong local flavor, giving people an ancient and fresh feeling.
some old names in Ji'nan have evolved into its homonym for many years, or some names have been used to beautify them, but the clever jenan can be accompanied by a story mixed with allusions, making it fun to make you laugh. A lane around the provincial capital was originally called whip lane, because there used to be a lot of handmade workshops dealing with whips, reins, saddles and other leather products, but called to call the whipping lane. With the change of the pronunciation, we heard the story:
say one year Qianlong south of the Yangtze River through Ji'nan, see a lane is very busy, then take the whip pointing the alley where the name of this lane? "
Ji'nan, the United States and the United States in the mountains, the United States in the water, the United States in the ancient city, the United States in the geographical name. With the change of the times and the development of the city, the mountain is more green, the water is greener, the new town is more beautiful, but there are many old streets and lanes and their names are missing, which left too much regret for my visit. I was thinking that the expansion of urban development and the protection of old streets old streets of these old streets must be opposed to the old streets, we have no wisdom to coexist in the same blue sky under the same blue sky? Even if some streets and old names are gone, attached to their rich historical and cultural connotation can never be lost. Cherish it. Without them, how can we not forget the beauty of Ji'nan? How can our children know a complete Ji'nan?
