Introduction of Guangzhou arcade in Zhongshan Film and Television City

There are more than 200 meters of arcade buildings in Guangzhou Street, China Scenic Area of Zhongshan Film and Television City. These buildings of the Republic of China can best represent the Lingnan culture in Guangzhou, and they are absolutely admirable and fascinating. Let's share the specific details below.

Zhongshan Film and Television City was named Zhongshan because it is located in Zhongshan, and because it is a building complex based on Dr. Sun Yat-sen's revolutionary footprint, which embodies his memorial sites for revolutionary activities in China and around the world, it is named Zhongshan Film and Television City, which is divided into five parts: China Scenic Area, Japanese Scenic Area, British Scenic Area, American Scenic Area and Exhibition Hall Area, with an area of about 6,543,800 square meters.

Yu Fan once introduced Japanese blocks and American blocks to everyone in the previous culture. This paper then introduces the China block, which was built in the memorial site of Dr. Sun Yat-sen's revolutionary activities in China.

There are more than 20 scenic spots such as Sun Yat-sen Modern Hall of Fame, Nanjing Sun Yat-sen Mausoleum, Whampoa Military Academy, Nanjing Presidential Palace, Shanghai Sun Yat-sen's former residence, Guangzhou Liao He Xiangning's former residence and Guangzhou Uprising Command.

This paper focuses on Guangzhou Street, a scenic spot in China, which is an old Guangzhou arcade complex with a length of more than 200 meters, which is quite similar to the buildings on Beijing Road and Shangxiajiushang.

I don't know if it is because we haven't recovered after the epidemic, or it was too hot when we went that day, and there were almost no tourists in Guangzhou Street. In the process of shopping, there is a feeling of being booked by us.

However, for tourists, there is nothing wrong with this. People can stroll slowly and take as many pictures as they want, without worrying about someone stealing the mirror. If you want to bring some Chinese clothes and ancient costumes, even if you walk in the street, you don't have to worry about too many tourists. You can safely "cross" back to old Guangzhou 100 years ago.

From this set of photos, we can see that they are all arcades with a unified style, and this arcade is the structure of the upstairs and downstairs corridors. Riding downstairs to the porch, that is, the sidewalk, is called "Five Bases". This name is related to the appellation of Southeast Asia (Indonesia and other places).

Riding on the porch downstairs is not only a shade but also a rain-proof. It is not only a veranda in the living room (or storefront), but also a transitional space inside and outside. In fact, this kind of building is not native to Guangdong. Its history can be traced back to the "Parthenon" in Greece about 2500 years ago, which is the main building of the Acropolis in Athens.

The arcade in the modern sense originated in Pukul, Li Bingran, India, and was first built by British colonists. It is called "veranda". In the second half of the eighteenth century, British colonists entered South Asian countries such as India, which belonged to a tropical climate and was difficult for the British to adapt to.

In order to create cool and comfortable living conditions, when building houses, they used the method of adding corridors in front of the rooms to escape the summer. With the expansion of colonial sphere of influence, it spread to China through South Asia, Southeast Asia and Northeast Asia.

The arcade was quickly accepted by people and became a common architectural form in Southeast Asian countries. It can not only block the wind and rain, but also block the sun, resulting in a cool environment, which was later introduced to South China.

1878, the Hong Kong colonial government promulgated the "arcade rules" to improve the crowded accommodation conditions of residents and began to build arcades. 10 years later, Zhang Zhidong, the governor of Guangdong and Guangxi, learned about the role of arcades from Hong Kong and suggested building a "corridor" similar to arcades in Guangzhou with reference to Hong Kong's experience.

19 12, Chen Jiongming, Guangdong.

Guangzhou's arcade was officially listed as an urban management regulation. 19 18, Guangzhou began to demolish city walls and a large number of Xiguan houses, and encouraged the construction of arcades to replace them. Therefore, the earliest arcade in Guangzhou has a history of nearly 100 years.

The buildings in this Guangzhou street are basically built according to the arcade of 100 years ago, and the mottled traces are full of vicissitudes. On this Guangzhou street, we can also see some well-known century-old brands such as Guangzhou Restaurant.

However, on the day we went, these stores were basically closed, and I don't know if the furnishings in the stores were related to these old brands or simply decorated. Personally, I feel that in this old street, wearing traditional costumes such as robes and cheongsam a hundred years ago, I can definitely take satisfactory photos.
