Sajinqiao
Sun cundie, a famous Qin opera actor, performs a story about a beggar picking up gold in picking up gold. The origin of the story is sajinqiao in Xi'an. Now the Sajin bridge is not a bridge, but a small street about 800 meters long. It starts from the cross of laoguanmiao on Lianhu road in the north, about 5 meters wide, extends southward into Huifang, narrows to less than 4 meters, and then leads to damaishi street. In history, sajinqiao changed its name several times. It has used the names of Daqiao street, tielufang, Qianwei Road, laoguanmiao and so on. But only the name of sajinqiao can best describe the indissoluble bond between the street and gold. Ice cellar Lane
According to the dictionary of Xi'an in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, bingjiao lane is the name of Xi'an in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It was at the Honglu guest hall in the former Chang'an Imperial City in the Tang Dynasty. After the reconstruction of the new city in the late Tang Dynasty, it gradually formed a residential Lane. It is named after the palace of Qin fan in Ming Dynasty and the place where Manchu bureaucrats stored ice in summer in Qing Dynasty. To the north of this alley, there is the ice cellar where the government stored ice at that time. The ice cellar is a kind of trench excavated not deep on the ground, which is used to dig ice for storage in winter, and is surrounded by sawn wood and other heat insulation materials, so as to take ice and cool off in summer. At that time, every cold winter, the government began to organize people to collect and store ice. In the next summer, around the Dragon Boat Festival, they would open cellars to use ice, which is called storing in winter and using in summer. Paofang Street
The name of Paofang street sounds very popular at first. According to the records of Xi'an Dictionary of Ming and Qing Dynasties, it is said that in Ming Dynasty, there were many paper artillery workshops on the streets of artillery houses, so the street got its name. However, the popularity of Paofang street is a thing of the past. Although it is located in a busy city, it is a bit secluded and mainly residential area. Compared with the past, it is not worthy of the name. Wuwei cross
In the Yuan Dynasty, because of the density of pharmacies, SHIZIKOU and today's nanguangji street were collectively called Yaoshi street. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, because of the concentration of pharmacies here, the more famous pharmacies were zaolutang, fuyuancheng, shurentang, wanniantang, etc. Later, people called the five flavors of Chinese medicine as sweet, pungent, sour, bitter and salty.
Fan Lane
Fanxiang is only 329 meters long, but its name is well known to Xi'an people. There are several different versions of the origin of the name Fen Xiang
The first one said that Fenxiang used to be a grain street in Xi'an city. It is said that the streets are covered with thick powder, hence the name.
The second way is that pink lane is named after rouge, which is the cosmetics street now. You can smell the strong smell of rouge far away.
The last one is that Fanxiang was the street where the emperor chose his concubines, because Xi'an was the capital of that year. Every year, Fanxiang was full of concubines waiting to be chosen in the city, and they had a good smell of rouge powder. The last one is that Fanxiang used to be a place to choose concubines, but later it evolved into various brothels. Tanshi Street
Tanshi street in Xi'an city is located on the north side of the middle section of dongdajie street, north to Xiyi road. In the middle of the Qing Dynasty, Xi'an's domestic heat supply began to change from Nanshan firewood to Beishan coal. At that time, this street was just an unnamed alley where coal was piled up. Later, it was named Tanshi street because most of the shops sold coal, salt and alkali, and non-staple food. market for mules and horses
The formation of Luoma Market should be in the late Wanli period of the Ming Dynasty. It is recorded in the map of Xi'an Fucheng in the Ming Dynasty. In the 21st year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty (A.D. 1542), there were livestock markets everywhere. This is the earliest literature found at present. According to this, we can infer the name of this ancient street.
By the 19th year of Guangxu (1893) of the Qing Dynasty, the map of Xi'an in the Qing Dynasty, which was mapped by Zhonghuan map Museum, showed that Luoma city had become "Luoma city street". At that time, luomashi street was north-south, connecting Dongmen street in the north and dongmushi street in the south. It was more than 360 meters long and 30 meters wide. On both sides of the street, there were wooden stakes for tying animals, and luomashi shop, which were used to keep animals for long-distance merchants. Academy gate
Xi'an people usually say "academy gate" refers to a pedestrian street from the forest of steles to the gate of Guanzhong Academy. The name of academy gate originates from Guanzhong Academy in it. During the seven years of Wanli in the Ming Dynasty, Feng Congwu, a scholar from Chang'an County, resigned from his official post and returned to Li to give lectures in Baoqing temple. Later, a new site was set up, and Guanzhong Academy was set up in the north of the street, with thousands of students. Later, forced by the eunuch party, the Academy was destroyed and Feng Congwu died after sitting here for 200 days. In the late Ming Dynasty and early Qing Dynasty, large-scale construction was carried out. Now it is Xi'an normal school. The site is well preserved. This street got its name because it was in front of the Academy. East wood City
East east hall door, West to South Street, 890 meters long. This street was called vegetable market in Song Dynasty and grassland in Jin Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, it became the wooden city and Fangban city of Fucheng, so it was renamed wooden city. At the end of Ming Dynasty, it was renamed Dongmu city because it was opposite to Ximu City, which lived in wooden workshops.
Duan lvmen
It is called duanlumen, but there is no door, but its origin is because of the door. In the early Ming Dynasty, Zhu Xian, the king of Qin, built his palace in Xi'an. This Qin palace is where the provincial government is now located. To enter the main gate of the Qin palace, you first have to pass a archway. In front of this archway, all the officials are waiting for the call. Over time, first of all, the officials, second to the people, called this archway Duan Lu men, which disappeared in the early Qing Dynasty.
After the establishment of the Qing Dynasty, full cities and towns were built in the whole country. The area of Xi'an full city accounted for about 42% of the city's area, including the position to the east of the North Street and the north of the East Street. Duanlumen is a gate of the south wall of Xi'an full city. Later, the revolution of 1911 broke out and the whole city was demolished, so there was only one name left. But the place name has been called down until today.
After reading these, do you feel that some street names are really confusing! These streets and alleys are full of Xi'an flavor, which is the characteristic of our great Xi'an. Hurry to collect them!
