Nanluoguxiang is a very old street in Dongcheng District, Beijing. The streets of Nanluoguxiang are not wide, and they still maintain the alley and alley planning of Yuan Dynasty. Its south entrance is on Di'anmen East Street, and its north entrance is on Gulou Street. Built in the Yuan Dynasty, it is about 1,000 meters long from north to south. Eight symmetrical alleys from east to west are neatly arranged on both sides. It looks like a centipede, so it is also called Centipede Street. It is a specially protected courtyard street in Beijing. The eight major alleys on the east side from south to north are Miaodou Hutong, Banchang Hutong, Dongmianmian Hutong, Beibingsi Hutong, Qingongshu Hutong, Qianyuanensi Hutong, Houyuanensi Hutong, and Juer Hutong. The eight major hutongs in the west are: Fuxiang Hutong, Suoyi Hutong, Yuer Hutong, Maoer Hutong, Jingyang Hutong, Shajing Hutong, Heizhima Hutong, and Qiangulouyuan Hutong.

The capital city of the Yuan Dynasty was planned to have 50 squares. The current Nanluogu Lane is the dividing lane between Zhao Hui Square and Gong Jing Square. In the Ming Dynasty, the inner city of Beijing was divided into 28 squares. Zhao Hui Gong Jing Square merged with Zhao Hui Gong Jing Square and was called Zhao Hui Gong Jing Square. The location of Nanluogu Lane is the north-south center line of the square. This lane is named Luoguo Lane. This name may have been inherited from the Yuan Dynasty. The "Comprehensive Map of the Capital" was drawn in the fifteenth year of Qianlong (1750). Luoguo Lane was renamed Nanluogu Lane in the Ming Dynasty, and the street north of the middle section of Gulou East Street opposite Nanluogu Lane was called Beiluogu Lane. Beiluogu Lane was the junction of Lingchun Square and Jintai Square in the Yuan Dynasty, and they were still two squares in the Ming Dynasty. The southern half of these two squares were government offices and temples in the Yuan Dynasty, but there were no major changes in the Ming Dynasty. In the early Qing Dynasty, both Luogu Alley and Beiluogu Alley had yellow flags. The Qing court stipulated that soldiers and civilians in Beijing should live separately, with the Eight Banners soldiers living in the inner city and the Han people living in the outer city. The naming of the North and South Luogu Lane should be earlier than the fifteenth year of Qianlong, which was the early Qing Dynasty.
