History of Wenzhou Kanglefang

1. The history of Wenzhou Mochi

The name of the alley is in today’s urban area of ??Wenzhou City.

Since the Tang Dynasty, my country has had a market system. People live in the village and trade in the city.

Houses are built inside the square, and there is a square gate outside, which opens and closes in the morning and evening. A square is a residential area.

The Northern Song Dynasty's "Xiangfu Illustration" records: There are fifty-seven squares in Wenzhou. During the Shaosheng period, when Yang Pan was appointed magistrate of the state, it was designated as thirty-six squares, and Mochi square was one of them.

According to legend, there was originally a pool on the land. Whenever spring came back, tadpoles would breed and swim in the water. When the water surface was covered with ink spots, there would be none, so it was called the ink pool. But after the Tang Dynasty, it was passed down that: Wang Xizhi of the Eastern Jin Dynasty served as the governor of Yongjia County. He often came here to write books and washed inkstones in this pond, so it became the Mochi. In the Northern Song Dynasty, Mi Fu also wrote the word "Mochi" on it. .

Because both Wang and Mi were great calligraphers in my country, local historical records of all dynasties adopted this theory, and this pool was also loved by the people of the city, and there were many records and chants about it. work. As Zhou Xuan's poem in the Ming Dynasty goes: "Why does the clear pond call the ink pond? In the past, there was Xi Zhi here.

I am still clumsy in learning calligraphy, so I compose a poem to express my traces."

After the Southern Song Dynasty, the square and city system was gradually abandoned, and the so-called squares were renamed streets or lanes. However, the name Mochifang has been followed to this day and remains unchanged. This can also be regarded as proof that the people of the city cherish this place. 2. The oldest street in Wenzhou, Zhejiang,

Wenzhou’s ancient alley,

1. Shuomen Street. There are many old alleys in Shuomen Street, starting from behind the Second Hospital and ending at Wangjiang Road. Among them, Yongning Lane, Dasheng Lane, and Shuomen Street are the most distinctive. Shuomen Street currently has a strong commercial atmosphere due to the support of the Communist Party. If you just go shopping in the alley, it doesn't feel very good. On the contrary, some of the houses in Shengsheng Lane and Yongning Lane are quite old-fashioned. And they are also inhabited by people.

2. Kanglefang-Mochifang area. In the past, there were many houses of wealthy families in Connaught Place, but most of them have been demolished due to road construction. But because there are some revolutionary relics preserved there, a small section of them, such as Kanglefang, Jiefang North Road and the small alleys in the middle of Mochifang, are actually very good. Unfortunately, we can’t go in and see many places.

3. In the Jiushan Lake-Xinhe Street area, there are many old houses in this part, but their history is not as long as that in Kanglefang. However, because it is next to the Jiushan River, some of the scenery still feels a bit better. Just a little dirty. Especially the hexagonal house at the entrance of No. 4 Middle School is very unique and is located near the lake. Unfortunately, the red brick wall outside has been painted by the government, which makes it less interesting. In addition, the ice cream in Jiushan Lake is particularly recommended. . There is one family at the entrance of Yuyu Bridge and one family in the middle. The only remaining classic mobile ice cream truck.

Above, the impression of wandering around some old neighborhoods in the city. 3. What are the famous historical figures in Wenzhou?

Street blessings, as the name suggests, is a traditional custom of blocking the streets in spring to pray for blessings. In ancient times, there was a folk custom of "spring promises and winter returns", that is, in spring, spring prayers are held to pray to the gods for a good harvest and peace; in winter, winter sacrifices are held to thank the gods for their blessings throughout the year. . Street blessings are spring prayers, so they are also called "Peaceful Blessings", which means "spring is coming, blessings are coming from the sky, blessings are secretly groping on the streets, whoever blocks them will always have spring." It can be seen from this that the early street blessings were still - A simple belief folk custom, but folk customs are inherited and not static. Later, in the name of entertaining the gods, people added a variety of cultural and entertainment activities to meet the cultural life needs of the masses during the festival. At the same time, commercial activities also took this opportunity to further develop.

In order to attract business, various shops have ingeniously arranged various novel decorations and furnishings at the entrance and inside the store to attract customers; merchants (vendors) also flocked to set up stalls on the streets to sell various goods that people need. and food, thus greatly activating the urban and rural commercial economy. In this way, year after year, the custom of street blessing gradually changed from a single belief folk custom, and finally formed a unique folk custom integrating belief, entertainment and commerce, which has been welcomed by Wenzhou people for generations.

According to historical records, the custom of "blocking blessings on the street" in Wenzhou began in the Qing Dynasty. During the Tongzhi period (1962-1874), the custom of blocking the streets for blessings became very popular among Wenzhou people and was quite large.

After the new rain, the green mud stains the phoenix-headed shoes." Original note: "At the end of spring, the god of racing will be blessed by blocking the streets on the day. The ladies and gentlemen will go out at night and play the shengs and reeds along the road." "Yongjia County Chronicles" written by Guangxu of the Qing Dynasty records: "On the first day of February, an altar will be set up along the street to ward off disasters, which is called blocking the streets for blessings. From now on, it will be followed The next time I prayed for good luck, I did it until I looked at the sun in the third month." In the old days, every spring, a grand traditional folk activity - Street Blessing - was held in Wenzhou City. The time is the first day of the second month of the lunar calendar, starting from Dongmen Kanglefang and ending on March 16th at Fuqian Street, which lasts for more than forty days. During this period, several main streets and lanes in Wenzhou were divided into sections, with lanterns and colorful decorations, red curtains covering the sky, colorful buildings, hundreds of lines, strings and strings playing, and various entertainment activities. Stores have been stocked with all kinds of goods in advance, and all kinds of snacks are everywhere. By then, thousands of people from all over the country will flock to the city.
