Past lives of Liangshan Street

Nowadays, opening any online map software to search for "Caiquan Street" in Deyang is 1% fruitless. Of course, this is not because the Beidou navigation system, which has been successfully networked, has low positioning accuracy, but it is the original "Caiquan Commercial Street" that can evoke the memory of the old Jingyang people, and it has already become the Liangshan Street today.

Old Jingyang people who have lived in this city for a long time may still remember that in 1983, when Deyang was newly built, it rebuilt and expanded the East-West Main Road (now Changjiang Road), and a large turntable with a diameter of more than 1 meters was built at the intersection of Liangshan Street and Changjiang Road, and the traffic and pedestrians came and went around the turntable. There is a lamp post about 3 meters high in the middle of the turntable, and there is a fountain pool inside the turntable. At night, when the lights are on, driven by electricity, many small nozzles in the fountain pool spew out water columns with a height of more than ten meters in the sweet accompaniment of Hong Kong and Taiwan pop music, and they are constantly changing various water curtain shapes; The lamp posts and the spotlights on the pool wall are constantly changing the colors of red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple with the music melody. Colorful, colorful, really beautiful. In the era when cultural and entertainment life was still very poor, as one of Deyang's "famous" landmarks, it became an excellent place for citizens to enjoy the cool and relax, and everyone called it "colorful spring". Since then, this "Old Nanwai Street" connecting the north and the south has gradually become a convention and has been affectionately called "Caiquan Street" by Deyang people.

The reason why it was later called "Caiquan+Commercial Street" was that the government deliberately made Caiquan Street a commercial pedestrian street because of the spring breeze of reform and opening up.

? At that time, there was also a Chinese restaurant called "Chen Tofu" on the west side of the intersection of Caiquan Street. When the meal arrived, it was full of people. But who would have thought that this was once a Red Army compound? At that time, Deyang Winery, the producer of the well-known liquor brands "Feng Chu Daqu" and "Sake", was located in the original site of the People's Shopping Mall. Now the new Deyang Hotel on the east side of the street is the original site of a sales department under Deyang Supply and Marketing Cooperative at the beginning of the city. Further south along a ditch, a large red brick house with four floors connecting the corridor is eye-catching, which is the living quarters 13 and 14 known as "Double", one of Deyang's three major factories. From the intersection of "Caiquan" to the present Shangmei Square, it is only about 5 meters long. At that time, a simple shed with less than 1 square meters was neatly planned on the left and right sides of the not too wide street-the so-called street-oriented shop. At that time, there were nearly a hundred small businessmen who were closely related to people's daily life, such as clothing, shoes and hats, soft and hard bags, handicrafts, local specialties and so on. Every evening, people come and go in Caiquan Street, which is constantly flowing, and gradually becomes crowded and lively. A comrade-in-arms with me in the army art troupe also bought goods from the lotus pond market in Chengdu and opened a clothing store here. He also ingeniously hung the saxophone obliquely on the wall of the store. In those days, western musical instruments were a novelty. When people come and go, occasionally playing two songs that are gentle, soothing or cheerful and smooth has become a unique promotion method to attract customers, and business is surprisingly good. In the upsurge of doing business for all, Caiquan Commercial Street has also stepped onto the historical stage of Deyang in full swing!

? Overlooking Deyang from the air, we can see that the downtown area (now Jingyang District) presents a narrow terrain from north to south and a little narrow from east to west. With the continuous rolling development of the city, as the design and planning department of the city, the main and auxiliary roads have been added in the design concept of taking the north-south direction as the vertical direction and the east-west direction as the horizontal direction, and all the streets have been renamed and positioned: the north-south direction is named after the mountain love, and the east-west direction is based on the running water. As a result, the "Caiquan Commercial Street" in the north-south direction that old Deyang people often visit after dinner has to become Liangshan Street in today's search engine. However, the sentimental old Deyang people still call it "gai" instead of Liangshan Street.

Although the time that passes is hard to dispel the deep impression in people's minds, it can create a beautiful vision of a city facing the future and quietly polish a window for people to pursue exquisite life in a city.

Walking in the spacious and bright Caiquan Street, the crowds coming in and out from different shops can still make me feel the bustling scene in the past. Today is not what it used to be. People's pursuit of quality of life and ideas has suddenly enriched the once single business varieties. Northbound from the west side of the overpass, there are brand-name shoe stores, Hongxin Securities, ancestral jade shops, pet markets, pants king monopoly, seven-color spinning, Shengmei makeup and beauty, elegant demeanor choir, Haitian feast and future space-time computer city, which are dazzling. When we reached Liangshan Street, we turned east and headed south. The Xinde Hotel was full of vitality again, the shouts of the clerk of Jinlang were almost hoarse one after another, the nunchakus of Hongwei budokan cracked, and Chow Tai Fook Store and Jinjiali Diamond Store were everywhere. Only "China Construction Bank" and "Great Wall Huaxi Bank" are closed. Are they still counting tomorrow's quota? "Fuanna Home Textiles" and "Hangzhou Silk Shop" still give me the feeling of tenderness like silk, when my fingers gently touch that silk horse.

? Standing on the overpass and looking north again, I suddenly felt that this Liangshan street was condensed with a seemingly uneventful business history against the backdrop of the dimly visible magnolia street lights. The era of commodity shortage is long gone, but now, no matter how much you spend on food, clothing, housing, entertainment, beauty, leisure and sports, you can find your precise needs here. The spirit of a city has been vividly displayed in this new street less than 5 meters, which is amazing.
