I heard that there are jewelry sellers in Beijing Mutton Hutong. Don't you sell mutton here? Why is it called Mutton Hutong?
Hehe, this friend's question is interesting. Do you want to eat mutton? But your question is right. Beijing Mutton Hutong does sell jewelry. It's called Mutton Hutong Jewelry Street. There is a large-scale and famous jewelry trading center in this hutong. Then why is this hutong called Mutton Hutong? Let me give you a brief introduction. There used to be at least five "mutton hutongs" in old Beijing, and the one with the longest history and the most famous one that still exists today is Xisi. It runs east-west, connecting Taipingqiao Street and Xisi South Street. This is an alley that has existed since the Yuan Dynasty, and it is one of the downtown areas in the metropolitan area. At that time, there were rice market, market, horse market, sheep market and camel market. "A corner of the sheep market" is the sheep market. "Jiaotou" refers to the market position of "the place where people gather". In the Ming Dynasty, it belonged to Xian Yi Square and was called Mutton Hutong. So mutton hutong is really a bustling place to sell and eat mutton, hehe. Beijing Mutton Hutong is not famous for selling mutton, but for jewelry trading. The mutton hutong jewelry trading center here was established in 2005. It is a large-scale leading enterprise of the key planning project "Fu Jeer Cultural Tourism Block" in Xicheng District, a member of the governing unit of China Jewelry and Jade Jewelry Industry Association, and also a member of "Beijing Professional Jewelry Market Fidelity Sales Alliance Unit". There are not only high-end wholesalers from all over the country, but also many powerful overseas merchants, such as Italy, South Korea, Thailand, Israel, Xinjiang, Colombia, Myanmar and other countries. This jewelry trading center has a complete range of high-grade jewelry, including jadeite, diamonds, hetian jade, pearls and various precious stones. The most authoritative jewelry appraisal institution in China-the Gemstone Appraisal Center of the National Gemstone Association is located on the second floor of the trading center, so the jewelry here is absolutely guaranteed in quality and enjoys a good reputation in the Beijing jewelry circle. With the government listing the jewelry cultural industry as an important strategic focus of regional urban planning, Jingyang Hutong Jewelry Trading Center has become a leading enterprise in Fu Jeer Cultural Tourism Zone, which has received strong support from the government. Beijing Municipal Bureau of Commerce defines it as "a model project of rebuilding a jewelry street in Mutton Hutong". My friend, I have introduced you clearly enough.
