Liulichang Street, located outside Heping Gate in Beijing, is a famous cultural street in Beijing. It originated in the Qing Dynasty. At that time, most juren who came to Beijing to take the imperial examination lived in this area, so there were many shops selling books, pens, ink, paper and inkstones, which formed a strong cultural atmosphere. Most foreigners come to Beijing to travel. The famous Liulichang Cultural Street in Beijing is located outside Heping Gate in Beijing, with a total length of about 800 meters. It starts from Liuxiang in the north and south of Xicheng District in the west and reaches Yanshou Street in Xicheng District in the west. In fact, it is far from the Liao Dynasty in history. It's not in the city, but in the suburbs. At that time, it was called "Wanghai Village". Later, in the Yuan Dynasty, an official kiln was opened here to burn glazed tiles. Since the construction of the inner city in the Ming Dynasty, the scale of the official kiln has been expanded due to the construction of the palace, and Liulichang has become one of the five largest factories of the Imperial Ministry of Industry at that time. After the completion of the outer city in the 32nd year of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, it became an urban area, so Liulichang was not suitable for burning kiln in the city, but moved to Liuliqu Village in Mentougou District, but the name of Liulichang was preserved and passed down to this day.

Basic introduction Chinese name: Opening hours of Liulichang: 09:00~ 18:00 Ticket price: Free country: China city: suggested time of play in Xicheng District, Beijing: 1 hour Suitable play season: required reading before departure of four distinctive seasons, scenic spots dynamics, scenic spots introduction, key information, beautiful pictures of scenic spots, history, shops and liberation. Liulichang is just to the west of the outer city, and most Han officials live nearby. Later, the guildhall all over the country was built nearby, and officials and examiners often gathered here to visit the book fair, so that the flourishing Qianmen, dengshikou and Chenghuang Temple book fairs in the Ming Dynasty gradually moved to Liulichang. Booksellers from all over the world also set up stalls, built houses and sold a large number of books here. The bustling market and convenient conditions have formed an "elegant place for tourism in Kyoto", which has gradually developed Liulichang into the largest book market in Beijing, forming a cultural street with a rich collection of humanities, and calligraphy and painting related to culture have also developed. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, a normal school was built on the former site of Liulichang, which is the predecessor of the high school attached to Normal University. Wanghaicun Park was built in the south of the original site, becoming the center of Liulichang market and one of the most lively places in Changdian. 1927, Heping Gate and Xinhua Street were completed. From then on, Liulichang Cultural Street was divided into East Liulichang and West Liulichang. Shop Liulichang has many famous old shops, such as Huaiyin Mountain House, Rujiuzhai, Guyizhai, Ruichengzhai, Cuiwenge, Yidege, Li Fushou Bizhuang and so on. And China Bookstore, the largest antique bookstore in China, and the original three bookstores in West Liulichang-Commercial Press, Zhonghua Bookstore and World Bookstore. The most famous old shop in Liulichang is Rong Baozhai. Some people say that Liulichang is famous for its famous cultural shops such as Rong Baozhai. This statement makes sense. Rong Baozhai's predecessor was "Songzhuzhai", and it was renamed as "Rong Baozhai" in Guangxu period, which means "being friends with literature, honor is precious". Lu Runxiang, a famous calligrapher, wrote the word "Rong Baozhai". Scholars in the late Qing Dynasty often gathered here, and during the Republic of China, Yu Youren, Zhang Daqian, Wu Changshuo, Qi Baishi and other painters of the older generation were also frequent visitors here. I don't know if you have seen the film founding ceremony and the photos of founding ceremony carefully. The ruler used by Mr Shen Junru, a famous bearded old man, was bought in Rong Baozhai. Rong Baozhai thought that in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, Rong Baozhai, Daqian Gallery and other old Liulichang shops were vying to hang famous paintings and calligraphy in front of the window. Attracting people to stop and watch has become a landscape of Liulichang. At that time, it was also the most famous painting in Rong Baozhai. Rong Baozhai is most famous for its woodcut watermarks and replicas. Rong Baozhai's woodcut watermarking technology integrates engraving, printing, cutting and other technologies, which makes the watermarking art more perfect and has been praised by Mr. Lu Xun. After liberation, under the care of the Party and * * *, some traditional crafts in Rong Baozhai became more brilliant. Rong Baozhai's printing reproduction technology has reached its peak, which is similar to the original, enough to confuse the real with the fake. Rong Baozhai's masterpieces "The Map of Wen Yuan" and "The Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival" have been exhibited in many countries, attracting the admiration of countless famous artists and enjoying a high reputation internationally. When Mr. Qi Baishi, a master of Chinese painting, was alive, he could hardly tell which one was his original and which one was copied. Since the reform and opening up, with the support and advocacy of Beijing and Xuanwu District, Liulichang has undergone many transformations and repairs, making this famous cultural old street glow with new youth. Today, Liulichang Cultural Street has become a place where books, calligraphy and painting, antiques and Four Treasures of the Study are widely gathered, and it has become a must for domestic and foreign tourists to patronize the old Beijing culture. At the same time, because this geomantic treasure-house is a place where officials, literati, cultural businessmen and Liyuan artists live together, it has the richest cultural resources: cultural landscapes such as allusions, stories and interpersonal relationships. All these constitute a part of the "soul of china" in the spiritual world of China people. This is the basis of re-planning, designing and conceiving Liulichang Cultural Industrial Park today, and it is also an important difference from other short historical areas with less historical and cultural resources and relatively large imagination space. Therefore, Liulichang is a big "cultural circle" that collects traditional culture. Strolling through Wenhua Street, Liulichang is a dirt road, with low shops on both sides of the street. At that time, the bookstore had no counter and cashier. In one or two bookstores in frontice, all the walls are covered with bookshelves as soon as you enter the door, and each book is labeled with a bibliography and price. The window in the back room is the capital. There is a painted square table with plush chairs on both sides and couplets hanging between the walls. The content of couplets is closely related to books-"It is better to read flowers than to get friends like the moon", "Everything is happy, and flowers are more fragrant than reading", "It is useless to read books about countries often" and "It is better to nourish the heart than desire, and to read than to be happy". In addition to bookstores, Liulichang is an antique shop. At that time, "antiques" were called "antiques", which were antiques, and later they were called antiques. "Antique" is called "literary play" among the literate people, which means elegant things played by literati, but it is also possible from the perspective of history and culture, because playing with these antiques is not something that ordinary people can play, and it must have certain historical and cultural knowledge, which is more extensive than "antique" because it contains new things, not just ancient things. Antique shops are all for rich and powerful people, and generally poor scholars are afraid to ask. In Miscellanies of Fujin, Cheng Jinfang immigrated and sent poems to Yuan Mei. There is a saying in the poem, "The potential family stops to comment on rare books, and the cold customers go to the second-hand books stalls." It can be seen that antique shops have always been frequented by powerful gentry, and ordinary people can only choose some cheap second-hand books from the second-hand book stalls. Since the Republic of China, industries such as Liulichang, bookstores and antiques have already declined. Especially during the fall of Beiping, bookstores were dying, and many shops closed down one after another. Just as a sentence in "The Old Capital of Zhi Zhu" said: "Reading sweeps the door everywhere, and Wanghai Village is as quiet as a forest. The leisure sea is estimated to be respected by the eldest brother, and the price of the Song and Yuan Dynasties to be painted in the Millennium is a depression. In the word, Wanghai Village, the bookstore and antique shop in China, is located in the north of the east and west entrance of Liulichang, which was then called Wanghai Village Park. On the left in front of the garden, there is a photo studio with a portrait of a famous painter hanging in front of it. Among them, there is a portrait of Mr. Qi Baishi, wearing an inverted fox skin, wearing a black and purple lamb Turkish winter hat and holding a fan. There are a few words written by Baishi in the photo: "Shake the fan to cool off the heat and wear fur to keep out the cold. Both of them should be on guard every day, which makes people snicker to madness. "To show the painter's unsociable, honest and frank feelings. This photo is also a scene of Liulichang, and people always look at it. Liulichang Cultural Street had many couplets in those years, which affected the surrounding environment. At the east gate of Liulichang, there is a couplet in front of a family, which reads, "The shade of glass in the spring heap factory, bayberry is fragrant all over the street." "This family is at the west gate of Yangmeizhu in Xie Jie, so it is very interesting to have this couplet. In the past, in a broad sense, Liulichang was not only an east-west Liulichang, but also Changdian, Xinhua Street, Fire Temple, Land Temple and so on. For example, the New Year's Zhi Zhu Ci says "Factory Dian": "Factory Dian opens every year on the first day of the New Year, and visitors return. There are many jewels in the temple of fire, and I also bought some books. " In fact, the "Fire Temple" is located in the north of Liulichang East Road. Strictly speaking, it is not a "factory shop", but in a broad sense, it is not too much. The Liulichang I saw when I was a child is already an old and outdated street. The above is my deepest impression of what I saw and heard in Liulichang. In the early Qing Dynasty, Liulichang was "an elegant place to travel in Kyoto". At that time, most Han officials lived outside Xuanwu Gate, and there were many halls nearby, where officials and examiners often gathered. The annual Dong 'anmen Lantern Festival in the early Qing Dynasty also moved here. In Dumen Zayong, a poem by Zhi Zhu sings: "The newly opened factory is worth the Spring Festival, so enjoy books and department stores. Qiu Ma is a handsome son and a scholar. "When Qianlong compiled Sikuquanshu, editors often went to Liulichang to read books, and booksellers from all over the world also set up stalls here and sold a large number of books. Convenient conditions make it a cultural street with a rich crowd. During this period, in addition to bookstores, antique calligraphy and painting and culture-related industries also developed. At the end of Qing Dynasty, a normal school and a five-city school were built in Liuli factory. 1927, open the Peace Gate, build South Xinhua Street, and dismantle the factory bridge. From then on, Liulichang was divided into East Liulichang and West Liulichang. In the past hundred years, many cultural relics have flowed out from here for various reasons. It was not until 1950 that the people promulgated the law on the protection of cultural relics that the loss of cultural relics was put an end to. 1980, the East-West Liulichang was extensively renovated and some new buildings were added. On the road between the east and west Liulichang streets, an antique white marble bridge stands in the air, adding a landscape to the ancient cultural street. Stepping into the "Daqian Gallery" painting and calligraphy antique shop can not help but remind people of the famous paintings and calligraphy hung in front of the window of Liulichang in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. At that time, people called it "curtain", also known as window exhibition. At that time, "Rong Baozhai" was the most lively place, and the audience stood in front of the door, so people called it "Li You". The works of famous painters such as Zhang Daqian were exhibited in the "Sai Mu", and the poem "Zhuzhici" specifically talked about this matter: "Spring Festival plays up the Spring Festival, and Punan in the north is plain. Before Rong Baozhai's rights stopped, standing swimming was really sweeter than lying. "China Bookstore Culture Street China Bookstore specializes in collecting China ancient books, rubbings, all kinds of old books, newspapers and magazines, selling newly printed ancient books and all kinds of research-related books and picture books, running Four Treasures of the Study concurrently, and opening various book exhibitions such as Jingwei Bookstore and Beijing Folk Museum. As soon as I entered the main entrance of China Bookstore, I saw the following couplets written on the north and south wooden pillars: "State the social and cultural situation, show the appreciation of the national collection", "Chinese and foreign classics, picture books, paintings and calligraphy are all involved, and the old and the new are compatible for sale, so the family can play together", "Literature and pictures of classics and historical subsets attract celebrities, which are ancient, broad, elegant and rich for the sages to explore" and "Chinese classics". These four couplets all express the business operated by China Bookstore and its warm service attitude to readers. Rong Baozhai China Bookstore, after a hundred years of vicissitudes in Rong Baozhai, was founded with the aim of "making friends with literature and making a treasure of fame". Since the new records of Matsuzaka, Rong Baozhai and Rong Baozhai, it has experienced great changes for more than 300 years. With the aim of carrying forward the excellent traditional culture of the Chinese nation, the golden signboard of "Rong Baozhai" always shines with moist brilliance and becomes an important brand of national enterprises. 1950 10 public-private partnership, "Rong Baozhai New Story" opens. Over the past 60 years, with the efforts of several generations, Rong Baozhai has become a position for the prosperity and development of China's traditional culture; An important window to the world; Looking back at the history, the predecessor of the 300-year-old brand Rong Baozhai was founded in 1672, and 1894 was renamed as Rong Baozhai. It has a history of more than 300 years. 1950 public-private partnership, "Rong Baozhai's new story" was established. 1952, Rong Baozhai was restructured into a state-owned enterprise, with the word "Rong Baozhai" in Guo Moruo's title as the standard enterprise name. Over the past 60 years, especially after the reform and opening up, Rong Baozhai has gradually transformed into a comprehensive cultural enterprise integrating calligraphy and painting management, stationery, woodcut watermarking, binding, collection, publishing, exhibition, auction, pawn, education, training and printing. Although Rong Baozhai has experienced a hundred years of ups and downs and personnel changes, the three-character gold plaque still shines with moist brilliance, becoming a brand of national enterprises and a well-known trademark in the market. The reason is that the word "Rong Baozhai" is a source of strength to gather popularity and cheer up the spirit. Over the years, Rong Baozhai has United a group of experts and technical talents who are interested in traditional culture and art, and they are conscientious in Rong Baozhai. The giants of Confucianism and Danqing traveled to and from Rong Baozhai, leaving many stories to make this art palace shine. New and old customers' recognition of Rong Baozhai stems from the consistent good faith management of the old shop. Therefore, the brand "Rong Baozhai" has experienced the baptism of time and become more and more shiny and heavy. For employees in Rong Baozhai, the painstaking management and cherish of the brand is their sincere dedication to the enterprise. Four Treasures of the Study is sold in Four Treasures of the Study East-West Liulichang. Pen shops are all famous by their names, such as Li Fushou, Wu and Li Yutian, among which Dai is even more famous, and it is said that it is an authentic Hu pen. "Li Fushou" and others are also unique. Li Fushou is famous for developing brushes suitable for painters of various schools, and Wu is famous for writing pens ... "Mi Qing Guan is the oldest and largest Nanzhi shop in Liulichang, and Four Treasures of the Study has everything." Ink Factory was founded in Tongzhi period of Qing Dynasty, with a history of 100 years. According to legend, the founder of the factory is Xie, who is a scholar. Because I failed in the exam in Beijing, I thought of the scene of learning ink in the examination room, and I wondered if I could use ready-made ink to avoid the pain of learning ink. So, he developed an ink and opened a shop specializing in ink in Liulichang, which was very popular with customers and prosperous. So he wrote a pair of couplets: "One skill is enough for the world; Defaduo was written by the ancients. The name of "Yidege" takes the first words "Yi" and "De" in the upper and lower couplets. Because the shop is a two-story building, which means "pavilion", it has the name of "Yidege", and the owner personally hangs a plaque in front of the door. "Yidege" ink has the characteristics of smooth writing, bright ink color, easy drying and mounting, water and light resistance, no fading, paperless printing and so on. It is a good product in Four Treasures of the Study and is very popular among painters and painters. Four Treasures of the Study calligraphy and painting shop "is a collection of ancient names, ancient customs and land, and the antique is blurred;" "When you are free, you can visit Liulichang, which is bustling and lively." -"Jiguge" is an old shop with a long history, which specializes in copying and restoring cultural relics and antiques. For museums at home and abroad, various cultural relics unearthed in history, Tang Sancai, ancient bronzes and ancient paintings have been restored, which has achieved realistic results and enjoyed a high reputation at home and abroad. In front of many stationery stores and antique shops, most of them write couplets according to their own business contents, which is also a major landscape of Liulichang Cultural Street. The couplets of the jewelry store "Bao Cuitang" are: "Zhu Yu Teng Hui's colored glaze, the bright moon is born overseas", and the couplets of the antique shop "Kong Fangzhai's three-year pearl, proclaiming the clouds of the six generations ..." In the Liulichang Cultural Street, in front of some shops in other industries, there are also couplets written in combination with their own work, which is caused by the influence of the traditional cultural street for a long time. For example, the couplet of "Bofu Teahouse" is "Make tea, don't leave the guest room, the paper is closer to the curse window. "Yi Shu inscribed" Jinghua Teahouse "and wrote a couplet in combination with the drinks sold:" Sour plum soup is the best in the world, and roses show chinese odyssey. "In front of the furniture store, there is still a couplet that says,' Huali mahogany is a model of the Ming Dynasty, and tables and chairs are the legacy of Lu Ban'. These are the unique landscapes of Liulichang Cultural Street. The once famous Liulichang "Fire Temple" in Kyoto has now become the residence of Xuanwu District Cultural Center and Beijing Xuanwu District Writers Association, where various cultural activities are carried out and famous writers and professors often give lectures. The hall of the original "Fire Temple" was packed, and writers of the Writers Association also wrote a lot of literary works. This cultural center adds luster to the present Liulichang Cultural Street. In the past, most people who came to this cultural street were dignitaries, literati, antique collectors, Chinese and foreign archaeologists, naturalists, ordinary intellectuals and poor students. They come here to collect antiques, calligraphy and painting, buy books, or resell them, or enjoy sightseeing, absorb knowledge and nutrition, or copy archaeology. Today, in addition to a large number of Chinese and foreign scholars, tourists from all walks of life come here to visit, shop, enjoy and study, which is very active and brings vitality to the ancient cultural street. After hundreds of years of development, Liulichang has a profound humanistic accumulation. There are many ancient cultural relics here. Ancient books and book industry are the main industries of Liulichang, and even Liulichang started from books. Without ancient books, there would be no Liulichang. However, the ancient book industry in Liulichang still has a process of development and change. It was Jiangxi booksellers who ruled Liulichang 200 years ago and after. They even took control of Wenchang Dijun Temple, which was worshipped by booksellers next to the Fire Temple in East Liulichang, and prohibited northern booksellers with few people and weak potential from participating in routine book industry sacrifice activities. By the end of the Qing Dynasty, the situation of the second-hand book industry in Liulichang had been reversed, and the booksellers in Jiangxi gradually declined, while the booksellers in Hebei rose rapidly and occupied the mainstream position of the second-hand book industry. The reason is that the management of booksellers in Hebei is not focused on imperial examinations, but more on books needed for academic research. When the second-hand book industry flourished in the 1930s, there were more than 200 second-hand bookstores in Liulichang. It is impossible to describe them one by one here, only a few representative shops, people and events can be briefly described, so as to get a glimpse.
