During the Liao and Jin Dynasties, Wangfujing was just an unknown village. After the yuan dynasty, it gradually became dense, and later it was called t-street By the Ming Dynasty, the Ten Palace Wangfujing built here had begun to take shape, and it was renamed Wang Fu Tenth Street. Ten Kings were abolished in the Qing Dynasty and renamed Gong Jie or Wang Fu Street. 19 15, when the Beiyang government drew a Detailed Survey of Four Cities in the Suburbs of Beijing, it divided this street into three sections: the northern section of Wang Fu Street, which is called Bamiancao in the middle, and the fragrant well in the southern section, together with the Palace, to Wangfujing Street. 1903, Dongan Market was established, and Laodong 'an Market is the favorite place for Beijingers to visit. A hundred words of Jinghua bamboo branches were published in 1909. In a word, this is the theory of "the whole market, the first thing is to buy a bustling downtown and invite the east to be safe". Therefore, if there is an Dong 'an country.
Wangfujing, with an inch of land and an inch of gold, is known as the "land for gold every day" because it sells a large number of general commodities, hardware and electrical appliances, clothing, jewelry, diamonds, gold and silver jewelry and other commodities. In recent years, Wangfujing has developed more rapidly. From the south entrance of Beijing Hotel to North Street, I saw a shop with a plaque, which was crowded with people, such as running water.

"Wangfujing"
Wangfujing Wangfujing Street starts from East Chang 'an Avenue in the south and ends at China Art Museum in the north, about three miles away. It is the most famous business district in Beijing. Wangfujing, with an inch of land and an inch of gold, is known as the "land for gold every day" because it sells a large number of general commodities, hardware and electrical appliances, clothing, jewelry, diamonds, gold and silver jewelry and other commodities. After the founding of New China, Wangfujing Street, the people's government, has been reorganized and transformed, and has inherited and developed the construction of large-scale commercial facilities with traditional operating characteristics, forming a prosperous commercial street, Dongfeng market and department stores. In recent years, Wangfujing has developed more rapidly. From the south entrance of Beijing Hotel to North Street, I saw a shop with a plaque, which was crowded with people, such as running water. From morning till night, hundreds of millions of Chinese and foreign customers take to the streets. Now, Wangfujing Pedestrian Street has completed a new look of welcoming foreign guests.
This is the central business district for nearly a hundred years. After liberation, there has been great development. The famous Beijing Department Store West Road and the famous Dong 'an East Road are also concentrated in this street. After liberation, the largest art and crafts store, the largest Xinhua Bookstore and the largest foreign language bookstore in China were built one after another. It is also the largest China studio in China, Li Sheng Sporting Goods Center, Medical Equipment Store, Wangfujing Shopping Center and Muslim Trade Building.

Wangfujing, the first street in China,
Wangfujing starts from Dongsi West Street in the north and ends at Chang 'an Street in the south, with a total length of 1, 000m or more. It is the famous "First Street" and a must-see for visitors to Beijing. From 65438 to 0999, Jinyu Lane and Wangfujing Pedestrian Street were planned to become Dongdan Pedestrian Street, and became sister streets with the famous Champs Elysé es in Paris. In summer, it has become the simulation and imagination of the mainland to hold Oktoberfest from chairs, open-air cafes and pedestrian streets.
Due to the Shanghai Bund Architecture Exhibition, department stores gathered in Wangfujing Street like to pile up fossils in different strata to show the consumption landscape of different times in Beijing.
But Beijing Renai Department Store 1955 opened in Beijing. In an inadequate era in the past, the first store called "China" was shopping in Beijing department store, just like dining in a nearby Beijing hotel, which was a rare event that must be very cautious and even eagerly awaited. The Beijing Department Store in Beijing, like the market in Lu Jin, Kyoto, is a symbol of the joy of the New Year. No matter how innovative the Oriental Plaza is, the position of the Beijing Department Store in the eyes of Beijingers is still irreplaceable.
In fact, it's about a long history, and Dong 'an Market really lives up to its reputation. In the 29th year of Qing Dynasty, in order to rectify the streets outside the city appearance, merchants near Dong 'an and the Qing government gathered the Eight Banners soldiers to give up the training ground, and also formed Dong 'an and Wangfujing Commercial Streets, which began later. Of course, the prospect of rebuilding New Dong 'an will not return to the present past, but it is still clearly visible, but the lively scene of auspicious theaters, bookstores, restaurants and vendors in Shilao Dong 'an in the prose of the older generation of literati. In Dong 'an Store in, most of the existing ones are gone, only Donglaishun on the fifth floor, Old Beijing Street on the first floor underground, and the statues of singing, hairdressing and rickshaws placed in front of Xindong 'an Square on the old China Street rushed to the left.
Sometimes playing tricks on things that history will not disappear or forget, just in an unexpected way. In fact, Wangfujing is better than most European pedestrian streets, but it is represented by 1655. Later, due to the earthquake, fire and repeated reconstruction, the Roman Catholic East Church. "East Hall" is still the quality of fixed participation, but because it is a classical European architectural style, it is an excellent place to take wedding photos. The wedding industry has a wide brain, and a pink classic car outside the East Hall is simply put in the background. This kind of religious hall car scene is like the most respected person wearing a pink bow tie, which has a pleasant surprise.
It is said that Wangfujing is named after a palace with a well. Forgotten and buried, road upgrading 1998, located at the northern end of West Road Pedestrian Street. In fact, Wangfujing Street has been cut into three sections, namely, Wang Fu Street, Dongsi West Street, dengshikou Street, dengshikou West Street, goldfish Hutong called octagonal trough, goldfish Hutong to Chang 'an Street and Gongjing Street. These roads consolidated during the Cultural Revolution were called "Renmin Road" and renamed as Wangfujing Street in 1975. In Yuan Shikai's time, it was once Morrison Street and Wangfujing Pedestrian Street. It is said that because a British journalist wrote an article praising Yuan Shikai to reward him, Morrison lived in Wangfujing Street and changed it to Mo Li Xun Street. From the old photos, you can also see the residence of Morrison and his servant in China in front of this group of photos. Of course, the house on the south side of Beijing Department Store has tiles.
Whether it is spiritual food or appetite, Wangfujing is everything. If you want to buy books, you need Wangfujing Bookstore, Wangfujing Snack Street, Donghuamen Snack Street and several stalls. You are absolutely full of food and drink. At this time, walking in Dong Tang, because it is a day of leisure and enrichment.
Wangfujing Pedestrian Street and Morrison Street
Song Weiguo
South of Nanjing Road and north of Wangfujing. Commercial street, an exhibition hall with one south and one north, is located on the land of China. The famous commercial streets and main street buildings are very old. Shanghai is a paradise for adventurers, and it is not surprising that many ocean roads are named because of the urgent need of franchising established by colonists. Before the liberation of Huaihai Road, the name Fei Xia originated from the French general Fei Xia during the First World War, such as Broadway Road: Seward Road.
However, if you walk on the street in Beijing, foreigners ask, "Where is Morrison Street? Do you know that?/You know what? Do you know that?/You know what? The so-called "Ma Lixun Avenue" is not known to most people in China. She is famous abroad. Is she somewhere else, Wangfujing Street, the first commercial street in China that we Beijingers are proud of?
The name of Wangfujing Street has been changed many times in the Qing Dynasty. During the period of Beiyang government, the whole street was divided into three parts, starting with three place names. The southern section is called Wangfujing Children, with an octahedral trough in the middle, and the northern section is called Wang Fu Street.
Will Wangfujing, the first street in China, have a foreign name? The origin of Morrison Street cannot but mention Morrison's Australia and Britain. In the 23rd year of Guangxu (1897), Morrison served as a reporter for The Times. He lives in Dongjiaominxiang, Beijing 1902, and his property in Wangfujing Street was restored with 750 pounds.
19 12 Morrison was appointed as Yuan Shikai's political adviser.
Inspired by the restoration of the monarchy, Sun Pijun, Yan Fu, Liu Xie, Li, etc. called it the "Preparatory Security Council" and acted as the trumpeters of the monarchy movement. Yuan Shikai, an American Goodnow, waved the flag and shouted that Yuan Shikai proclaimed himself emperor, and wrote "China's 5,000-year-old tradition * * * and the party's imperial propaganda".
Morrison, as a consultant of Yuan Shikai, realized the emperor's dream. When Yuan Shikai became emperor, of course, he would not mistreat foreign consultants. Therefore, Wangfujing Street was renamed "Morrison Street Appreciates Morrison", with an English guidepost beside it. However, any action is against the historical trend submerged in the historical tide. Yuan Shikai, a short-lived "Hong Xian", "thought that Ma Lixun had died for 83 days", and attended Paris in 19 19 as a representative of Beiyang government.
Later, the so-called "Morrison Street" gradually weathered in the dust of history, and no one mentioned it again. Today, most people don't know that Wangfujing Street also has a foreign name. Today, Beijingers are full of pride when they mention Wangfujing Street. The name of the street or China. But Morrison Street did witness the bullying, poverty and weakness of outsiders in modern history at that time. After all, such days are gone forever.
Early in the morning, a ray of dawn bathed, and fell asleep again in Wangfujing Street, as if to gently wake her up. In Beijing, the sky is blue and Yun Dan is busy. As always, this is a kind of China People's Broadcasting Station. Familiar voices once again fly over Wangfujing Street in Beijing, and a rich day begins a new peak. Wangfujing Street, once burdened with the vicissitudes of the past, will witness the prosperity of China.
