ladder Yunxi, a poetic but unfamiliar name, know it is not many people. But talking about Hibiscus street, a lot of people are familiar with it. Actually, tell you a secret. Yunxi is the predecessor of Furong street. To tell you a good news, according to the latest "Furong Street - the protection plan of the Baihua history and culture block", Ji'nan will restore the Furong spring and pan pool between the ladder of Yunxi. At the same time, the Qu Shui Ting Street will be rebuilt. Reporter Gao Yulong
originally this stream is the predecessor of Hibiscus street,
according to "Furong Street - the protection plan of the brooding history and culture block", the Ji'nan planning department will restore the history from the hibiscus From the spring to the panchi lake, Yunxi is planned to resume its form from the open channel of the Qing Dynasty to the open channel form of the Ming Dynasty. According to the plan, the starting point for Furong springs is Yunxi, which is basically in accordance with the status quo, Furong street all the way to the north, through the West Flower wall lane to panchi.
here, you may not be impressed with Yunxi. After seeing it, you may suddenly realize it.
Furong Street North from Confucious'temple, South to Quancheng Road, more than 400 meters long and 6 meters wide, is one of Ji'nan's most famous old streets. However, few people can know that the street of Furong street was originally a spring stream, which originated from Furong springs, Yunxi.
member of the Ji'nan city name Association Expert Committee and Ji'nan scholar and history expert Tang Jingchun told reporters in an interview that the Furong spring in the ancient time was a good place for the lotus blossom and the spring fish, which may be the lotus flower in the spring. In history, Ji'nan used the Furong spring as the source of water to dig the river into the panchi, which was formerly known as the Confucious'Temple of the Confucious' temple.
"before the early Qing Dynasty, the Furong street was still in Yunxi, where most of the households in the street were concentrated on the west side of the street." Tang Jingchun said that, during the period of Kangxi, the old site of the Furong spring east of the Emperor Ming De palace was rebuilt into a Shandong governor yamen, and the Xiyuan of the former palace, the former county, was abandoned as a residence, so the east side of the street slowly built up the houses and shops. "There are so many shops that people can't walk around in the creek all day long, so people use big green slates to build Yunxi into a hidden ditch." Later, there was no ladder in Yunxi.
staircase Yunxi revisited, facing new problems
Tang Jingchun said, the old man who lived on Hibiscus street had recollected the beautiful morning of Furong street, with a thin layer of mist on the stele Road, looking far away, the traveller seemed to walk in the fairyland and see under the stone slab through the slit. A gurgling spring. And in the dead of night, when walking in the street, you will hear the sound of the spring below the flagstone road. Especially during the prosperous water period, the spring beneath the stone slab will flow out of the road, and live off the scene of "clear springs and flowing stones".
obviously, we can not see such a view now. According to the relevant people of Ji'nan planning department, after the founding of the people's Republic of China, with the increasing number of residents on both sides of Furong street, the original ladder Yunxi culvert has long been blocked. Not only that, because of the large number of shops on both sides of Furong street, the phenomenon of sewage overflow often occurs on the hibiscus street, which can not be connected to the beautiful scenery of the ladder of Yunxi.
but, for the plan to rebuild the ladder Yunxi by the way of the open channel, Tang Jingchun expressed the current situation that the hibiscus street was already very crowded, and then Yunxi along the street would be "not enough but not enough." In this regard, the Ji'nan Planning Bureau of the planning department of the relevant person in charge said that the ladder of Yunxi if the way to rebuild the open channel, will ensure that the old buildings and other unmovable buildings along the line will be under the safety of some illegal buildings to be demolished.
