in the commercial port area two road four road near, there is a market called Wanzi alley shopping mall, someone also Call it.Quot; Wan word alley.Quot;. Though it seems that the market is a bit shabby now, it used to be one of the busiest and bustling streets in the commercial port area. Known as the largest integrated farm market in Ji'nan, whether it's chicken and duck meat or North and South dry goods, Ji'nan citizens can always find the most suitable products here.
the area of Wan Zi lane is called the five mile ditch.
don't look at the five mile ditch shops now, the traffic is busy, the flow of people is endless, but in the early days, it was a graveyard. It is not the official noble, but the poor or the dead who do not have any relatives to recognize the corpse. The local people call this area.Quot;.Quot.
but, although it is a cemetery, but the five li ditch is not as desolate as you think, but very lively. Especially at two or three o'clock in the evening, eight villages near ten li, even people in Ji'nan City, will bring lanterns to this place.
What are these people doing here? The answer is very simple, go to the market.
according to historical records, in the late Qing Dynasty, in the west of the city, five li ditch in the west, every morning, the suburban farmers and small traders in the town began to deal with the trade, five or six o'clock is scattered, people called it.Quot; the ghost city, also called.Quot; Night Cat City.Quot;
.quot; ghost market.Quot; it sells fruits and vegetables and cultural relics. The traders there are farmers, traders, thieves, grave robbers, and all kinds of characters.
in 1905, the Qing government ordered the local government of Ji'nan to put the original five li ditch.Quot, the ghost city.Quot, the region as the exclusive shopping mall, and the construction of a German four pavilions and long corridors, and the market was gradually paved as the center of the city. The field is the WAN purple alley market.
Why do we take this name? There are two kinds of arguments.
one is the name of the place. With the.Quot; ghost city.Quot; the market is becoming more and more prosperous, some vendors have built shops here for convenience, and more and more mobile stalls have fixed operating places, gradually forming streets and houses. Because there is a big bay near the market, the people living here call this street lane.Quot; Wan Zi Lane.Quot. Later,.Quot; ghost city.Quot; to the market, people then press.Quot; bay son.Quot; homophonic, renamed it to.Quot; alley.Quot;
two is the topographic theory. This statement thinks that the southeast corner of the market and the south-west corner, the northeast corner and the northwest corner each have a turning scale export, the market looks like the shape of the shape of.Quot;.Quot; so people call it.Quot; the market.Quot; then, it evolved into.Quot; the WAN word alley market.Quot;
this market is known as.Quot; Wan Zai Lane Shopping Mall.Quot; it is in recent decades. In the late period of the cultural revolution, the government took the.Quot; the.Quot of all kinds; the meaning of it was.Quot; Wan Zi Lane.Quot; changed to.Quot; Wan Zi Lane.Quot; it has been used so far.
