The origin of interesting place names in Wuhan

On the Origin of Ocean Changes in Three Towns of Wuhan

Wuchang: During the Three Kingdoms period, Sun Quan established his capital in present-day Hubei, named Wuchang, and soon built a city in present-day Sheshan, named Xiakou; In 280 AD, the Jin Dynasty changed Jiangxia County to Wuchang County, which is the beginning of the name of wuchang city today, and later changed its name to Jiangxia until the late Qing Dynasty. Wuchang House was founded in Kangxi. After the Revolution of 1911, Jiangxia County was changed to Wuchang County, and Wuchang became the official name. ?

Hankou: During the Southern and Northern Dynasties, Hankou appeared as a place name in historical records. Today's Hankou actually has only a history of more than 500 years, which began with the diversion of Hanshui River during Chenghua period of Ming Dynasty. The Hanshui River was originally injected into the Yangtze River from the south of Guishan, and its mainstream was injected into the Yangtze River from Jijiazui in the north of Guishan during Chenghua years. After the diversion of the Hanshui River, the low-lying wasteland developed into Hankou, which is also known as the four famous towns with Zhu Xian in Henan, Jingdezhen in Jiangxi and Foshan in Guangdong. After the Opium War, Hankou opened a port for trade and developed more rapidly. ?

Hanyang: In 606 AD, in the second year of Sui Daye, Hanjin County was changed to Hanyang County, and the name of Hanyang began. After the county government moved to Hanyang City in the Tang Dynasty, it developed rapidly. At the beginning of 1927, Wuhan National Government merged Wuchang and Hankou (under Hanyang County) into the capital and named it Wuhan. Today, Wuchang, Hankou and Hanyang make up the "Wu Hancheng" with a history of only 74 years.

Change of Road Name from Yiyuan Road to Liuhe Road

There are six distinctive road names along the Hankou River, namely Yiyuan Road, Eryao Road, Sanyang Road, Siwei Road, Five Blessingg Road and Liuhe Road.

These six roads were originally direct roads to the German Concession Wharf, perpendicular to Jiang Yan Road. During the German Concession, these six roads had dual names. For Germans, these six roads were named after German colonists. For example, Good Street is called Augusta Street, Fu Street is called Victoria Street, Road Street is called Utterson Street, Shou Street is called Nian Street, Bao Street is called Karoten Street, and Real Street is called Dorothy West Street.

Interestingly, for China people, the German Concession adopted another naming method, that is, the German transliteration of these six streets was slightly changed, and they were named with auspicious words that conformed to the customs and habits of China, which made the names of roads have a strong sense of China folklore and celebration, namely Hao Street, Fu Street, Lu Street, Shou Street, Bao Street and Shi Street. It's quite distinctive

Then, when were the names of these six roads renamed as Yiyuan Road to Liuhe Road? According to the place names of Wuhan, after the National Revolutionary Army entered Wuhan in 1926, the national government gave these six roads new meanings. Taking the meaning of "unified start, Vientiane renewal", Hao Street was renamed as Unified Road; Renaming Jeff as Eryao Road means "day and moonlight". Taking the meaning of "Sanyang Kaitai", Lu Street was renamed Sanyang Road; Renaming Shoujie as "Siwei Road" means "Four Dimensions of the Country"; Taking the meaning of "longevity, wealth, health, morality and life are like Five Blessingg", Jie Bao was renamed Five Blessingg Road; Real Street was renamed liouhe rd, which means "Six Rivers and One Spring" and "The Four Sides of Heaven and Earth are Six Rivers". For a long time, most articles involving these six road names have been written according to this statement. It seems a foregone conclusion.

In recent years, the author's writing team of Hankou Concession Records found this statement to be true by consulting a large number of documents and historical maps. 19 17 years to recover the German Concession. 19 18, the name in the concession has changed. Although there is no exact data to prove that these six road names were changed in 19 18, reading the Market Map of Three Towns in Wuhan drawn by Hubei Army Survey Bureau in May 1922, these six road names have already appeared on the map. Therefore, it can be said that these six road names were not named by the national government, and they appeared four years earlier than the time when the national government arrived in the Han Dynasty.

Therefore, the changing history of these six road names should not be endowed with political color, but should return to the true colors of history, that is, these six road names existed at least before 1922.

Three-story building

The third floor is located in the north of Wuchang, which refers to the intersection of Heping Avenue and Xinhe Street. This area used to be a pond wasteland. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, there were more and more residents in Xinhe Island, which gradually formed a market and trade place outside Wuchang. 19 12 years, Yu Xinglong, a capitalist engaged in the construction industry, built a three-story building with brick and wood structure at No.445 Heping Avenue today. The ground floor is a grocery and coffin shop, the second floor is a teahouse, and the third floor is a storytelling and shadow play theater. His business is booming, and he is also famous. This three-story building stands on the grass shed of the surrounding bungalow, which is very prominent and has become a prominent symbol of this area. People then called this area three floors. When Heping Avenue was expanded after liberation, the original building was demolished, but the three-story building is still the name of this area. Bus 16 from Wuchang to Honggang City has a three-story station here. There is a small street nearby, which is still called the third floor street.

Shuiguohu

Fruit Lake refers to a large area near East Lake in the northeast of wuchang city, which is now the seat of Hubei Provincial Party Committee and Hubei Provincial People's Government.

Fruit lake does not produce fruit. It turned out to be a vast expanse of barren hills and ravines, with few farmland and vegetable fields. Whenever it rains, the rainwater in the hilly area will gather in the branch of the lake here along the gully and flow into the East Lake through this outlet, so people call this branch of the East Lake Shuikou Lake. Over time, homophonic became a fruit lake.

There is an eagle platform by the fruit lake, which is said to be the place where Li Bai, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, released eagles. After liberation, Neolithic cultural sites were discovered here, and stone axes, shovels, rice husks and earthenware utensils were unearthed, indicating that human beings lived and multiplied in Wuhan four or five thousand years ago. Now this area is full of tall buildings, Hongshan hotel, telecom center building and measurement center building.

Simenkou

Simenkou is the general name for the intersection of Jiefang Road and Zhu Min Road in Wuchang. Wuchang District People's Government, located in the northwest of Qiancrossroads, was the embassy yamen of Hubei City in Ming and Qing Dynasties, namely the vassal yamen, also known as the vassal yamen, commonly known as the vassal yamen. The yamen faces south, and the gate faces the long street, which is now Jiefang Road.

The long street in history was blocked by Snake Mountain and stopped at the southern foot of Snake Mountain. The street from the north of Snake Mountain to the entrance of Fanyamen is called Simenkou. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, people were superstitious about Feng Shui. They want to preserve Daming Mountain by destroying the sanitation of Guishe Mountain, dig through Snake Mountain (and cut off the glans at the same time), and extend the long street to the entrance of Fanyamen, but they are still used to calling the northern part of the mountain Simenkou. 1935 When the road was expanded, the Laofan yamen was opened at the northern end, extending the road to Zhongshan Road, cutting the Snake Mountain in the middle, and putting a reinforced concrete Snake Mountain Bridge on it, so that the general name of the company gate extended to the south of Snake Mountain, almost including the main commercial downtown area of Jiefang Road today.

Cavalry training ground

The cavalry training ground is located in the middle of Wuchang City, starting from the snake cave in the east, extending to Wuchang Road, south to the cavalry training ground primary school, west to the Hubei theater, and north to the southern foot of Snake Mountain. It is a well-known square, with a length of 100 m from east to west and a width of 300 m from north to south. Wu Luo Road starts from this point, crosses the middle of the square, extends eastward, connects with the Yangtze River Bridge in the northwest and Peng Road in the southwest, which is the main road connecting the three towns in Wuhan.

In the early years of Qing Dynasty, Liu Zhaolin, the governor of Ming Dynasty, built a martial arts training ground in the east of Chu Palace. There is a martial arts school on the court, where martial arts exams are held. After liberation, it has been established that writing has changed from "factory" to "field".

In the past 300 years, many important historical events have taken place here. 1In June, 688, a mutiny occurred in Wuchang, and Xia Fenglong was elected as the president's military marshal, headquartered in Ma Yue factory. 1853 1 month, the kingdom of heaven captured Wuchang and preached revolutionary truth on the tower of Ma Yue factory. During the Revolution of 1911, the Wuchang Rebel Government was established in the Red House in the north of Yuemachang, and paid homage to the generals in the South Tower, with Huang Xing as the wartime commander-in-chief. During the May 4th Movement, thousands of students held rallies and demonstrations in Ma Yue factories. After the Northern Expeditionary Army captured Wuchang City, Wuchang people gathered here to celebrate the victory of the Northern Expedition. Since then, it has been a place where people celebrate the victory of War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression and the liberation of Wuhan. 198 1 year, a grand event was held here to commemorate the 70th anniversary of the 1911 Revolution.

Dufudi

Du Fu levee is located on the west side of the northern section of Jiefang Road in Wuchang, and Hu Si was originally located in its east. It was built here in Qing Dynasty, close to Du Fu Yamen, hence the name Du Fu Di, also known as Du Fu Di. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, a residential area was formed along the embankment, which was called Dufudi Street, and people still used to call it Dufudi. The street runs north-south, starting from Liberty Road in the south and reaching the entrance of the former site of the Central Peasant Movement Workshop in the north. It is 560 meters long and 6 to 10 meters wide. No.41in this street is the place where Mao Zedong gave lectures on agriculture in the first half of 1927, and the famous Investigation Report on Hunan Peasant Movement was written here. Cai Hesen, Peng Pai, Yang Kaihui, Xia and Mao Zetan all lived here. This street 10 was originally affiliated to Wuchang Teachers College, and was the former residence of Chen Tanqiu, secretary of the local committee of Wuhan in 1924. 1927 On April 27th, the first meeting of the Fifth Congress of the Communist Party of China (CPC) was held here. Now it is the site of Zhonghua Road Middle School and Jianghan University Wuchang Branch.

Jiyuqiao

Yuji Bridge generally refers to the north and south sides of Zhongshan Road east of the northern end of Jiefang Road in Wuchang, east to Husha North Lane, south to the northern end of Desheng Bridge (Street), and north to the intersection of Heping Avenue and Yima Road. There used to be a bridge in this area. Jiangxia County Records is recorded as Carassius auratus Bridge, which was built in the 13th year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty (AD 1887). It's a stone bridge with an inner room of more than ten feet. Every summer when the lake rises, nearby residents fish and shrimp in bridge opening, and most of the fish caught are crucian carp, so this bridge is called crucian carp bridge, which generally refers to the nearby land. Later, it became the only place for vehicles transporting cast copper yuan materials to the copper yuan bureau, so it took the meaning of accumulating gold and jade and turned the carp bridge into a jade bridge. 193 1 year, the stone bridge was destroyed; 1934 converted into a reinforced concrete pier wooden bridge; 1938, it was destroyed again; Now only the bridge foundation is left, which can be vaguely identified. As the name of this area, Jiyuqiao has been in use ever since.

"Yangyuan" became Yangyuan.

Yangyuan Street is located on Heping Avenue in Wuchang.

According to research, in the Qing Dynasty, a foreigner built a garden in Wuchang Bridge Village (the former outpatient department of railway hospital), which was called the foreign garden. Later, the foreign garden became Zhang Xueliang's travel garden, but the name of the "foreign garden" remained unchanged.

In the early 1960s, Yangyuan was renamed Yangyuan, which has been in use ever since. The four buildings originally built by foreigners are now the offices of the Fourth Design Institute of the Ministry of Railways. Yangyuan Street got its name from this.

Huaqiao

Huaqiao is located at the northwest end of Jiefang Park Road in Hankou. It is said that there was a wooden bridge on the Huangxiao River with carved boards on both sides, commonly known as the "Flower Bridge". The name of Huaqiao comes from this.

1965, a reinforced concrete bridge with a length of19.2m and a width of 4.02m was built here. The abutment is made of mortar blocks and can be used for cars with a load of less than eight tons.

Later, in order to eradicate the Yellow River, the whole river channel was changed into an underground culvert, and the fourth main road in Hankou, Jianshe Avenue, was built. The cement bridge was also demolished, leaving no trace.

Now, although these two bridges no longer exist, the name overseas Chinese has been used to this day.

Why did Hubu Lane get its name?

There are many legends about the origin of the naming of Hubu Lane. It is credible that there were many yamen in Wuchang during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. Near the present Simenkou, it was once the office of the yamen of Wuchang Central Government, so it was called Simenkou. The chief secretary is in charge of the household registration of money and grain, which is called "the household department" by the people. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Hubu Lane was the vassal storehouse in the east, the treasury of the Chief Secretary and the grain storehouse for storing money and grain. West of Hubu Lane is the location of Wuchang House Grain Depot. Hubu Lane is located between two warehouses, hence its name.

It is estimated that Hubu Lane has a history of at least 400 years.

Qinyuan Road becomes Qinyuan Road.

Qinyuan Road is located on the south side of the Second Yangtze River Bridge, connecting Friendship Avenue, Peace Avenue and Linjiang Avenue.

The origin of Qinyuan Road comes from an allusion: Ren Tong, a wealthy businessman, lived in Wuchang in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. Because he likes the scenery of Husha Lake, he built a garden in the west of Husha Lake and named it Qinyuan. Later, Ren Tong opened another road connected with Husha Lake near Qinyuan, named Qinyuan Road.

Later, Qinyuan was gradually abandoned, and Qinyuan Road was misinformed as Qinyuan Road.

Patriarch of Jianghan dynasty

Zongguan was named after the prosperous business in Hankou.

Since the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Hankou's commercial trade has become increasingly prosperous, and the transaction throughput of rice, cowhide and tea ranks first in the country. Who doesn't covet such a fat position? China's way of doing business has always had a good habit of "clustering": the more prosperous the business, the more competitive it is, and the easier it is to make money. This is the effect of Hong merchants sitting on Jia's so-called "selling goods piled up like mountains". Businessmen gather, business opportunities collide with each other, goods flow smoothly, and financial resources are rolling in. It is also reasonable for the "meat eaters" who live in the temple to "smell the incense and dismount" to set up a customs here to collect taxes and share a piece of cake. In the early years of Qing Dynasty, there were four "passes" in Wu Hanyou: Wuchang Pass, Hanyang Chaoguan Pass, Hankou Zongguan Pass and Han Pass. Four customs and three towns, half of Hankou. Among them, Hankou Hanguan was originally named Shimonoseki; Zongguan is located in the upper reaches, 5 miles west of Hankou Town, and is called Shangguan. The tax collector's purse is warm, representing culture and culture: Hankou, the first pass, has locked in a large sum of money for us, so we can't keep yelling, can we? Isn't there an elegant saying called "Jianghan Chaozong"? Yes, let's call this Shangguan manager! This plot happened on a certain day in a certain year, involving someone, but it is difficult to verify. If anyone knows, disclosure can also be used as a supplement to our city history.

At the beginning of the establishment of the customs, because the Hanshui River basin, especially Jianghan Plain, has always been a rich place, Wuhan is located at the crossroads of land and water, and at that time, the railway was not connected, and most of the licensed goods took the waterway, and the Hanshui cargo ships docked at Zongguan for tax transactions. There are many inns, teahouses, restaurants, theaters, private houses, merchants, and even brothels in Zongguan, which also means "worshipping Zongguan". As a result, the popularity has become increasingly prosperous, from a simple tax clearance to a lively pier market town. After the opening of Jinghan Railway, Zongguan, as a "pass", became worse and worse. As a pier ferry and a crowded residential area, it is still lively.

Now standing on the Han River where Zongguan is located, Zongguan is inseparable, and the ferry at the pier is also neglected. Only the surging Hanshui River, full of tender feelings for the Yangtze River, plunged into the embrace of the great river after a long journey of thousands of miles, exhausted and excited, and fulfilled the long-cherished wish of worshipping the Sect.

Losing a bosom friend-Zhongjia Village

After walking less than 30 meters in the north lane of Hanyang, it is Zhongjia Village.

Zhongjia Village is related to a beautiful legend-during the Spring and Autumn Period, Zhong Ziqi, a great musician from the State of Chu, lived in seclusion in the ancient city of Hanyang. One day, the musician Zhong collected firewood at the foot of Guishan Mountain, tied it on his back and stopped by the river. Suddenly, a wisp of music curled up in my ear. Zhong Ziqi is a man of vision. Listening, I heard the charm of mountains and rivers and couldn't help exclaiming. This sigh doesn't matter, it leads to the piano player Yu Boya. This Boya is a proud man. After chatting for a while, he took the woodcutter as a bosom friend. A year later, I went back to my secluded place, but I didn't know that heaven was not fake and Zhong had passed away. The scene at that time should be: sadness urges passion, Boya played the overture of bosom friend, disembarked, untied and left with tears. On the way to the ferry, Boya rubbed the guqin for a long time and thought that the piano and the harp were harmonious. When there is a bosom friend, there is no bosom friend in the world. What do you need a piano for? I sighed and dropped the piano on a rocky rock!

The three places related to this legend all have related place names: the place where Zhong Ziqi lived in seclusion is the village where Yu Boya lost his bosom friend, called Zhongjia Village; The place where two intimate friends learn from each other is called Qintai. Yu Boya's desperate piano-breaking ferry is called piano breaking. ...

Go back to Zhongjia Village. Visit a secluded place in Zhong Ziqi. Legend has it that the right hand side of Beicheng Lane is Phoenix Mountain, southwest of which, between Guishan and Phoenix Mountain, there is a hill-Zhongjiashan, where Zhong Ziqi built his house.

Unfortunately, although there are many buildings in Fenghuang Mountain, the mountain shape still exists after all; Guishan is also full of green eyes; However, Zhongjiashan is long gone. Therefore, Laoyun, in the 1950s, there was Zhongshan, a lotus pond at the foot of the mountain, lotus flowers in spring, lotus flowers in summer and lotus roots in autumn, which was a scene and a paradise for gnats. When building the first bridge of the Yangtze River, shovel mountains and fill ponds, and build Hanyang Avenue from east to west, to the riverside in the east and to Shilipu in the west; Build a group of buildings on the north side of the avenue; When the bridge was built, there were many Soviet experts, and there were red tiles and red walls in the building, which smelled of Slavic and attracted people's attention for several years. Because this residential building is located on the ruins of the ancient Zhongjia village, it also uses the name of Zhongjia village. Later, the intersection of Hanyang Shopping Mall was called Zhongjia Village.

Siguandian

Siguan Temple is indeed an earlier temple. There is indeed a temple in the temple, and there are indeed four "officials" in the temple-heaven, earth, water and fire.

Siguan Hall was built in Shunzhi period of Qing Dynasty and rebuilt in six years of Kangxi. Liu, the author of Yang Guang Miscellaneous Notes, recounted that when he visited Hankou in the thirty years of Kangxi, there was a temple in the temple, and the "four officials" were also enshrined in the temple. Later, in view of the number of huts and board houses around Siguandian and frequent fires, the authorities wanted to make a difference and ordered: First, the huts and board houses were demolished and all the tile houses were rebuilt; Second, raise funds to rebuild the Siguan Temple as a place to worship the fire official, that is, Vulcan Zhu Rong. However, although the establishment of worship objects has been streamlined and three-quarters of "positions" have been removed, the name of the temple remains the same. Ironically, in the 26th year of Kangxi (1687), this rebuilt temple dedicated to Vulcan was burnt to powder by a big fire, which created the miracle of "the fire destroyed the Vulcan temple".

Is this a "firefight" between Vulcan, or is it because Vulcan is dissatisfied with the restorer's old bottle of new wine and does not change the name of the temple? I don't know. However, from then on, Siguantang did not exist. However, the word "Siguandian", as the place name of Wuhan, is still in use today.

Also, at that time, the "Eight Wharfs on Twenty Miles Long Street", as one of the eight wharves symbolizing the prosperity of Hankou, Siguantang was the only wharf dedicated to crossing the Yangtze River. Here, it goes without saying that there are dense houses and prosperous commercial trade; On holidays, folk culture with regional customs and pure China flavor will be displayed here, which is especially valuable. For example, around the Lantern Festival, children parade in the street with lanterns, which is full of childlike interest, a sign of bumper harvest and the most beautiful scene. There are many skilled craftsmen around the Siguan Temple, such as Cunren Lane. All kinds of animal lanterns made of bamboo paper are lifelike and can shake their heads and wag their tails. Unique, the seller cried, not shouting lanterns, but shouting: "alive, alive!" " "Passers-by listened to the peddling, paused for a moment, and most of them laughed. Over time, this "living" has become synonymous with the four major official halls. This gave birth to a two-part allegorical saying: "Everything in Siguan Temple is alive! "That's right. Those "living" things made by Siguan Temple are really "living activities", not solid things!

Siguan Temple has a "living" history, but I'm afraid it's still at this moment that Siguan Temple can really sing "living, living": above Siguan Temple, Longwang Temple is on the front line, and the levee is like a landscape; His Royal Highness the Four Officials of Jiangtansheng Park; From this, Siguan Temple can proudly say: I don't need to sacrifice any officials. Your family has seen my "living" eyes, and they have been "flirting" with your family in various ways. ...

The centenary is just around the corner-Qianjia Street

Walking in the crowd of Qianjia Street in Wuchang, smelling the strong street flavor brewed in downtown, I suddenly remembered Zhang Zhidong: If Zhang Zhidong were still alive, would he walk in the street he set up?

Counting by fingers, Qianjia Street is almost 100 years old.

/kloc-from the end of 0/9 to the beginning of the 20th century, in order to realize the dream of saving the country by westernization, Zhang Zhidong tossed and turned in Hubei for some time: he set up the No.4 Sima Bureau and started the state-owned textile industry in Hubei; Mining to run steel mills, laying the foundation of heavy industry in Hubei; Make guns, guns and bullets, and develop military industry; Build railways, run workshops and pay attention to people's livelihood. ...

Qianjia Street is a part of Zhang Zhidong's great plan to care about people's livelihood and prosper the market: about 1906. In order to facilitate the traffic in Wuchang Railway Station of Guangdong-Han Railway, Zhang Zhidong ordered the demolition of Wuchang City Wall, added a new gate near the east gate of Golden Gun School-Tongxiang Gate, and opened a market near Tongxiang Gate. It is planned to resettle thousands of families for Qianjia Street. ...

This street faces the railway station in the south and Linjiang Avenue in the west. When land and water transportation is important, it is also convenient. Although Zhang Zhidong is not familiar with Feng Shui Yin Yang, he is a talented person who has helped the country and the world. He is convinced that this is a place to start. It's a pity that what the Qing Dynasty left behind was a terminally ill skeleton, like a candle in the wind. Even if the imperial court was full of agents like Zhang Zhidong, it wouldn't help. From Qianjia Street to Zhang Zhidong's death, there were less than 1000 families. However, the education and industry run by his old man's house in those years produced some results that went against his old man's original intention: among the students he sent abroad to study, several men had a hard time with the court. After returning home, they went to the new military camp run by his old man's house, gathered all the people, and then went to the military factory run by his old man's house, dragging guns and guns, pushing the Qing Dynasty, which his old man's house tried to protect, upside down-history remembered this day: Wuchang Shouyi.

Nowadays, Zhongshan Road is in the east, Linjiang Avenue in the west, provincial nursery school in the south and Luo Lu in the north. Thousands of streets with a total length of 1 100 meters have already exceeded 1,000 meters, which is a famous downtown area in Wuchang District. The trace of Zhang Zhidong's old man's struggle in that year has long since disappeared; Even the Gospel Hall where General Feng Yuxiang temporarily lived in 1937 did not publicize it. Only the No.1 Middle School Attached to China Normal University enjoys a high reputation, both at home and abroad. ...

In a trance, it sounds like nature-some people are dead, but he is still alive; Some people are alive, but they are dead ... Zhang Zhidong is dead. I wonder if he is still alive.

According to historical records, Zhang Zhidong, as a government official before his death, handled hundreds of millions of money! But when he died, there was no extra money at home, not even a funeral, but a few filial students patched together to let him rest in peace. In this view, Zhang Zhidong should be alive, just like the thousands of streets he set up, living well.

The ancient rhyme is mellow-Tanhualin

According to the classical Chinese saying of "flower" and "flower", Tanhualin is a epiphyllum forest. There is no epiphyllum in Tanhualin, Wuchang, let alone epiphyllum forest. However, in any case, the reason why Tanhualin is Tanhualin is always related to flowers.

It is said that there used to be many small courtyards here, and residents were good at planting epiphyllum, hence the name; In addition, this family in Guxiang likes to grow flowers. When flowers bloom, they put the altar outdoors. Therefore, one altar and one flower, one altar and one flower, make forests all year round, hence the name.

In fact, after years of rubbing, people are often no longer concerned about the whole or panorama of history, but the charm of some selected historical fragments.

Tan Hualin is an example.

Tanhualin, south of Huayuan Mountain and north of Crab Point; Qingwa small courtyard, built on the mountain; Houses are scattered and uneven; Wu Tong's small courtyard and granite secluded roads will wash away the impetuous feelings of impetuous cities.

In Tanhualin, what you can taste and appreciate is an ancient rhyme full of long history and profound cultural accumulation. This indescribable charm is a rarity in the starlight alleys of three towns in Wuhan.

For example, we can forget that Tanhualin is located in the northeast of Wuchang District, at the south foot of Huayuan Mountain, with east-west trend, because these may be the business of geographers; We don't need to remember that Tanhualin starts from the northern section of Desheng Bridge in the west and ends at Zhongshan Road in the east, with a total length of 1 200m and a width of 3m, and the asphalt pavement, with the house number: 1- 166, because these may be matters of municipal or civil affairs departments. However, some historical fragments related to Tan Hualin, for example, used to be the activity base of the early revolutionary groups "Japanese Inform" and "Qi Ying Society", and many people in these societies died gracefully for freedom and passion; Also, in 1938, Guo Moruo, a romantic poet, scholar and revolutionary who was then the director of the Third Hall of the Political Department of the Military Commission of the National Government, led a group of propagandists to Xia Douyin's apartment at No.83 Tanhualin. The story interpreted by that passionate young man and famous poet and scholar must be great. ...

At this point, Tan and its attached epiphyllum were separated by the same fate-epiphyllum perishable, Tan Yongsheng.

The fact is, Tan was Gu Xiang in Qing Dynasty, with a history of hundreds of years.

In the gap between skyscrapers, there is a place called Tanhualin that exudes pure historical fragrance, which is really lucky for Wuhan.

Defend Hankou-Bao Hua Street

Bao Hua Street has a loud and solemn name.

Kebaohua Street itself is not imposing at all: it is located on the north side of Zhongshan Avenue in Hankou, belonging to Dazhi Street in Jiang 'an District, starting from Nanjing intersection of Zhongshan Avenue in the south and reaching Huangshi intersection in the northeast, but it is only 200 meters long. In Wuhan, such a "body" is really too inconspicuous.

The name and fame of Bao Hua Street originated from the concession in Hankou.

On March/2nd, A.D. 186 1 year, an Englishman named Basjari used his gunboat to "support" the river and proudly circled around Hankou: from Hualou Street on the river to the east corner of Kanluoji Riverside Card, the circle was 25 feet long./kloc The British have taken the lead, and other high noses and concave eyes are not far behind! As a result, 17 countries successively traded in Hankou, setting up 9 consulates and 5 concessions in Britain, Russia, France, Germany and Japan. As a result, Hankou, from Xinsheng Road (now Jianghan Road) to Linjiang Road in Shabao, was carved up by these foreigners who had nothing to do with Hankou people!

Robbers are seldom satisfied. After having their own concession in Hankou for 30 years, that is, 1898, the British arrogantly extended the concession northward to Houcheng Road (now Zhongshan Avenue). Due to the resistance of Hankou people, the British built a fence between the concession and the border of China on the grounds of concession security. 190 1, demolish the fence and build a solid fence.

This wall is a sign that robbers will despise and discriminate against the robbed after successful robbery.

This wall, from Hezuo Road (the original boundary road) to China Bank of Jianghan Road, is like a thorn that can't be swallowed and spit out, and has been stuck in the hearts of Hankou people.

1923, Liu Xinsheng, the land king of Hankou, together with the merchants of the Chinese Chamber of Commerce in Hankou, raised funds to buy the land around Huangshi Road and Baocheng Road, and built a "model area" in Hankou, in order to compete with the concession forces, and once again put forward the proposal of tearing down the wall. After many twists and turns, the then municipal government negotiated with the British Ministry of Industry for many times and concluded a contract: the government will bear the project cost of demolishing the wall and filling the soil, and subsidize the British concession to repair the road for 3,500 taels of silver every year in exchange for 1930 to demolish the fence!

Humiliation is a bit humiliating, after all, the thorn in my throat has been pulled out.

To commemorate this bumpy history, the shabby section along the wall was named "Bao Hua Street", which is also a testimony of Hankou people's intention to "defend China".
