During the Liao and Jin Dynasties, Wangfujing was just an unknown village. After the Yuan Dynasty, the population gradually became dense. In A.D. 1267, Kublai Khan of Yuan Shizu ordered the excavation of Wangfujing, but at that time it was called "T-street". Ten palaces were built here in the Ming Dynasty, and Wangfujing took shape and was renamed Wang Fu Tenth Street. Ten Kings were abolished in the Qing Dynasty and renamed Wang Fu Street or Wang Fu Street. 19 15, when the Beiyang government drew the detailed map of four cities in the suburbs of Beijing, it divided this street into three sections: Wang Fu Street in the north section, Bajiaocao in the middle section, and Wang Fu Street in the south section because there is a fragrant well. These are all recorded in historical materials. Now I go shopping in Wangfujing, and these introductions are on the street radio. Wangfujing is famous for its rich records, official yearbooks, anecdotes and many interesting stories and legends. 1965438+On the evening of February 29th, 2002, soldiers looted Dong 'an market and set fire to Dong 'an cinema, turning the market into ashes. This is the first Wangfujing fire in the old man's memory. Another fire broke out on the night of June 9, 1920, when a toy store caught fire, delaying the whole market. Only several firms, such as Beidao Xiangchun and Donglaishun, survived, which is also a rather unbearable memory. By 1933, Wangfujing has made great progress. At that time, Dongan Market was already a place of "arachis duranensis", and there were many places to go. According to statistics, there were as many as 925 vendors in the whole market at that time, and the grand occasion at that time was recorded in many famous reminiscences. After liberation, the development of Wangfujing began with the completion of 1955 Beijing Wangfujing Department Store, which is the first state-owned department store in New China and is called "the first store in New China". 1September, 999 1 1, Wangfujing was "opened for the first time" after the renovation. At that time, the average daily passenger flow reached 300 thousand, and the holiday reached 700 thousand. On September 1 1 day, 2000, on the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Wangfujing opened its streets for the second time. After this expansion, Wangfujing Business District starts from Chang 'an Street in the south, reaches the west exit of Deng Shi in the north, reaches Jinyu Hutong in the east and Donganmen Street in the west, which is just a "golden cross" structure. This "freezing" indicates that this ancient commercial street is moving towards the goal of Beijing Central Business District.
