Today, it is Fu Xue Hutong Primary School with a history of 64 years, ranking first among all existing schools in Beijing. The place where Premier Wen's Temple is located is the place where Wen Tianxiang was imprisoned after the Yuan Dynasty destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty and was defeated, captured and escorted to the Yuan Dynasty. Kublai Khan appreciated Wen Tianxiang's talent and hoped that he would submit to the Yuan Dynasty. But Wen Tianxiang had no hope of surrendering to Song and Yuan Dynasties, and escorted Wen Tianxiang to the execution ground. In the Ming Dynasty, an ancestral temple was built to commemorate this national hero.

2. Lumicang Hutong

is located in the southeast of Dongcheng District, starting from Xiaopaifang Hutong in the east and reaching Chaoyangmen South Street in the west.

It was built in the ninth year of Zheng Tong in Ming Dynasty (1444) and is well preserved. In 1961, it was designated as a national cultural relics protection unit.

3. Yangmeizhu Xiejie

Yangmeizhu Xie Jie is located in the southwest outside Qianmen, about half a kilometer west of the west exit of Dashilan Street. Yangmeizhu used to be a cultural street, where Dong Ge college student Liang and modern writer Shen Congwen once lived. Yangmeizhu Xie Jie was called Yangmeizhu Xie Jie in Ming Dynasty. Later, it was said that there was a matchmaker named Yang in this alley. In the Qing Dynasty, this alley was renamed Yangmeizhu. In Guangxu period, Yang Meizhu's homonym was refined into Xie Jie.

this hutong is coming out. It was formed in the Yuan Dynasty, or rather the Ming Dynasty. At that time, after the Yuan Dynasty established Beijing as its capital, it abandoned the capital and rebuilt it, but most of the businesses did not develop. At that time, there was a very prosperous market from the west side of Hufang Bridge to the vicinity of Caishikou, so people still went to the old city to buy what they needed. From Dadu to Hufang Bridge, people gradually walked out of the city.

4. Wudaoying Hutong

Wudaoying was formerly Wudeying. Battalion is a military unit, and the place where troops are stationed is generally called battalion. In 1965, the place names were reorganized, and Xiaotiantou and Xiaoertiao merged and renamed Wudaoying Hutong.

Some bosses who opened stores in Nanluoguxiang and Gulou have also heard of it, and opened branches or new stores in Wudaoying. All kinds of cafes, book bars and boutique shops abound, which are the new favorites of literary youth.

The bricks and tiles in the hutongs are relatively new. After all, it is mainly residential rather than sightseeing. However, when the sunset shines in, it still makes people feel trance for a moment. As the evening approaches, there will be more and more pedestrians, and young people will come to bars one after another to have fun, chat and have afternoon tea, many of which will last until dawn.

The south factory of Baoquan Bureau, which is in charge of casting money, is located in the household department of the Qing Dynasty and pays salaries. In the Qing Dynasty, salary was also called money and grain, hence the name Liang Qian Hutong.

Hutong has a long history, and many historical celebrities have lived here, such as senior citizens, Zhang Taiyan and Liu Bocheng. On the east side of the alley, one corner is sedan chair lane, where Xiaodong Meng's former residence is located. The old hutong

is very suitable for young people who like art and creativity. Wenchuang Garden in Courtyard 46, as well as various cafes, small restaurants and graffiti in the corners of hutongs, is a photographer's paradise. Fang Jia Hutong, which is close to imperial academy, is a particularly good place to explore the local tourism in Beijing. Every few steps, you can see a storefront with eye-catching colors or full design. Combining the traditional houses with blue bricks and gray tiles in old Beijing, the conflict is very novel. Aunties who pick up their children from school get together to talk about their families, while uncles huddle together to fight landlords, still maintaining the living atmosphere of the block in the 199 s.
