Dashilan has a history of 580 years, and the history of this street can be traced back to the first year of Xiaozhong Hongzhi in Ming Dynasty. There was a small class in Beijing at that time. In order to prevent thieves from hiding in the streets and lanes, with the approval of the DPRK, wooden fences have been built at many street intersections in Beijing. According to the imperial edicts of the Qing Dynasty, there were 440 outer city fences approved in Yongzheng seven years, 19 19 in Qianlong/kloc-8 years, and 196 in inner city fences. Dashilan used to be four corridors. Because the fence of this hutong is well-made, preserved for a long time and large in size, it has gradually attracted the attention of Beijing. So Dashilan became the name of this hutong.

Since Yongle (18) in the Ming Dynasty, it has gradually developed into a commercial street with many shops after more than 500 years of evolution.

"Ma Juyuan on the top of the head, feet rising inline, wearing eight-character auspicious symbols and four constant symbols around the waist" are all about the status and prosperity of Dashilan in the early years.
Now, everything has changed except the noise. After the feudal dross was removed from Dashilan, a commercial street scene appeared.
