The most famous street in Wenzhou is Wuma Street, Wenzhou. It's very good to eat and play Wuma Street, and there are almost all brands you can think of. There are also many snacks in Shamao River area. The following is the relevant information of Wuma Street for reference: Wuma Street is one of the ancient streets in the old city of Wenzhou, and it is also a famous commercial street. Jiefang Street is connected with Park Road in the east and meets Fuqian Street in the west, with a length of 411 meters and a width of 12 meters. According to the Tang Dynasty's "Ancient and Modern Customs", "Wang Yishao (Wang Xizhi's word Yishao) went out to guard Yongjia, and the court ranked five horses, so there were five horses in Yongjia." In the second year of Song Shaosheng (1195), Yangpan, Wenzhou Zhizhou, was renamed as Wenzhou 36 Square, and Wumafang was listed as one of them. Yang Pan's "Poems on Five Horses" says, "According to legend, there are five horses, so I once hesitated. People love to make you good, and it is not a vulgar book to change geese. " In Qing Dynasty, the square was changed into a street, and there were 14 lanes on both sides of the street. In 1934, the store house was demolished, widened from 6 meters to 12 meters, and renamed Zhongshan Road. In the old days, merchants gathered here, and silk shops, department stores, copper and tin ware shops, Chinese and western pharmacies, money houses and so on lined up. After liberation, the name of Wuma Street was restored, and it was changed to asphalt pavement in 1974. In April 1984, Wuma Street was designated as a pedestrian street, which was a landmark shopping pedestrian street in Wenzhou. Wuma Street integrates shopping, commerce, culture, entertainment and leisure. In March, 1999, it was named as "No Fake Goods in 111 Cities and 11111 Stores in China" by the relevant state departments. In 2111, the transformation project of Wuma Street was included in the Wenzhou Cultural Promotion Plan by the municipal government, and the transformation was completed that year. The sculpture "Five Ma Benteng" was also set up at the west entrance of Wuma Street. Wuma Street is the area with the strongest commercial and cultural atmosphere in the old city of Wenzhou. The buildings on both sides basically maintain the original western style, including three century-old shops, such as Wuweihe, Jinsanyi and Laoxiangshan, department stores and Wenzhou restaurants. Most of these old shops were founded in the Qing Dynasty and the Republic of China, and many shops have a history of more than 111 years. Sweet, sour, bitter and spicy, the "Five Flavors Harmony" standing at the intersection of Wuma Street is the oldest grocery store in our city. It was founded in the sixth year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty (1881). It was founded by Ningbo businessman Yang Zhengyu and fellow countryman Feng Bozhen and other dozens of Ningshang merchants. It was originally a candied fruit shop, located in the west section of Shantou Lane, which is now No.78 Gulou Street. On both sides, there are couplets of "Canned Tea with Candied Seafood, Various Medicines and Fruits in the North and South", the shop number of "Wuweihe" is horizontally written on the lintel, and the three characters of "Wuweihe" originally written by Mei Diaoding are engraved on a piece of blue stone. Feng Bozhen is old with Mei Diaoding, a famous calligrapher in the late Qing Dynasty, so he asked Mei to write the shop name signboard. After careful consideration by Mr. Mei Tiaoding, he thought it was better to add a word "harmony" after the original name "five flavors", which meant the harmony of sweet, sour, bitter, spicy and salty flavors, so he wrote three vigorous and powerful characters. In the 29th year of Guangxu reign in Qing Dynasty (1913), Yang Zhiqin, the son of Yang Zhengyu, inherited his father's business and added a branch at Wuma Street (that is, the present Wuweihe store site), which was called Wuweihe New Store. Wuweihe developed rapidly during Yang Zhiqin's operation, especially Ougan, which sold well in Beijing, Tianjin and the north and made great profits. In the 21st year of the Republic of China (1932), Lin Minqing, a Wen-born shareholder, was appointed as the manager of the new store. Because of his good management, the five flavors and business continued to expand. The old shop closed down in 1941, and the new one is unique from then on. In 1956, when the public-private partnership was implemented, some nearby southern goods stores, such as Tongren He, Yuanchang and Fuxu, were merged, so the stores were rebuilt and the facade and scale were expanded. In 1966, it was transformed into a state-owned enterprise and renamed as a local state-owned Xinfeng grocery store. In 1979, the original store name was restored. Wuweihe attaches great importance to its business characteristics. Apart from supplying goods from North and South, it also engages in selling bad, drunk, preserved, seafood and fresh fruits. It also runs its own workshops and employs famous teachers to make candied fruit, preserved goods, cakes, roasted seeds and nuts and other foods. It is famous for its exquisite selection of materials, fine processing, genuine goods and unique flavor, especially the bad-made raw fish, shrimp paste, drunk crabs and snails. The most well-known is delicious raw fish (that is, raw white sole). The production process has a history of more than 81 years, and it has five characteristics: fresh color, uniformity, non-paste, delicious taste and storage resistance. In addition to supplying the local market, Longquan celadon cans have been exported to Hong Kong in hardcover. Ma Xingye, a famous journalist living in Taiwan Province, was delighted when he got a jar of five flavors and delicious raw fish from the villagers. He once wrote a poem: "Thanks to the hometown of perch, the taste is long, and the wild mountain is fragrant in the Ouhai sea. I feel a little bit of tears in front of my eyes, and I want to try raw fish. " The little fish reminds the wanderer of his infinite homesickness. "Jin Sanyi's Silk Weaver" The Jin Sanyi clothing mall in the middle section of Wuma Street was originally a Jin Sanyi silk shop, which was founded in the ninth year of Xianfeng in the Qing Dynasty (1859). Three brothers Jin Xubao of Xing Wu County, Huzhou jointly opened a Su Hu silk shop under the Drum Tower. Originally named Jin Tongyi, it was later renamed Jin Sanyi, meaning that all three brothers of the Jin family benefited from it, mainly dealing in high and medium-grade worsted fabrics, silk and pure cotton fabrics. A few years later, we moved to the current site of Wuma Street, expanded the storefront, and expanded the purchase channels to Shanghai and other places. In the old days, the facade of the silk shop was four wall doors, with two doors in the middle. The golden signboard of "Golden Sanyi" was hung on the horizontal forehead of the door, and there was a vertical signboard next to the door, which read "Golden Sanyi Silk and Satin Bureau". Huzhou, the hometown of the Jin brothers, is rich in high-quality silks, satins and crepes, so they take turns to go back and forth between Huzhou and Wenzhou to buy and sell goods. Due to the nostalgia, the purchase price of silks, satins and crepes in their shop is lower than others. When the goods arrive in Wenzhou, because of their good quality and low price, they can be sold at any time and benefit from both ends, so they earn a lot of money. After several generations' efforts, by the time of the Republic of China, it had become a well-known silk shop, known as the "golden signboard site" shop. Huzhou silk is famous all over the country. At that time, it was necessary to buy authentic silks and satins in Wenzhou. The good service attitude of the clerk in Jinsanyi Store is also well-known. As long as you can get into the store, you won't go back empty-handed. The old Wenzhou people said "the golden signboard of Jinsanyi", in the words of modern people, is the "integrity" brand. In the past, there was a saying in Wenzhou, which was called "Jin Sanyi's silks and satins" to describe the perfection and contentment of things. At that time, there was a jingle in Wenzhou: "Gui Fang (hat) is on the top of your head, Yu Shunkang (shoes) is on your feet, and you are dressed in Jin Sanyi Silk Cloth Village." It serves to show the reputation of Jin Sanyi. Now No.13 Wuma Street, which integrates department stores, theaters and restaurants, is the former site of Yun Bo shopping mall, which was founded by famous Wenzhou industrialist Xu Shuyu (1881-1967) in 1927. Xu Shuyu, whose name is Yunzhang, was born in Rui 'an. In the eighteenth year of Guangxu (1892), he became an apprentice in Wenzhou Yida Cloth Shop. In the twenty-seventh year (1898), he rented a house in Caoxian Lane and set up a "Xu Yunzhang Silk Shop". After a little savings, in 1917, I bought more than ten low-rise houses in the east section of Wuma Street, modeled after the silk shop on Nanjing Road in Shanghai, and converted them into two three-story storefronts adjacent to brick and wood structures, with Yunzhang Foreign Goods Store in the east and Yunzhang Silk Bureau in the west. The two stores run through, and the lintel is written with the three characters "Xu Yunzhang", which is like the style of a big Shanghai firm and has caused a sensation. After painstaking efforts, the accumulated funds are considerable, so I bought an old house around the old ancestral hall of the Wang family, visited the architectural shapes of major shopping malls in Shanghai with architects, and built a four-story reinforced concrete building and opened a shopping mall after warming up. The building area of the shopping mall is 3,711 square meters, with three or four floors as the main part and five floors locally. The plane layout makes full use of the street surface, and the facade treatment uses large and small concave and convex surfaces, which has good lighting effect and is the best building in Wenzhou in modern times. In 1925, it was named "Boao Department Store". In 1933, Mr. Xu Shuyu bought more than 31 old houses in the back of "Yunzhang" and "Bo 'ou" stores, and at the same time, he replaced the original brick-wood buildings with reinforced concrete buildings to integrate several buildings, and some floors were raised to five floors, paved with water mill and decorated with new decoration, forming the present-day scale building complex. Xu Shuyu took the third and fourth floors as the theater and named it "Central Grand Theater", which was later the popular cinema. There are nearly a thousand seats, which are divided into special, main hall, box and flower building. The stage is semi-circular, the lighting equipment is advanced, and the famous corners from other places are performed here. During the Anti-Japanese War, most dramas and publicity programs were also staged on this occasion. At that time, it was the theater with the best structure and equipment in Wenzhou. Nine buildings on the second and third floors are leased to Qingtian Returned Overseas Chinese Chen Junmin to open a restaurant. Chen is good at cooking, his wife is Italian, she can cook western food, and she takes the store name "Italy". Chinese food was served on the second floor, western food and western food were served on the third floor, and famous chef Xu Yanchi was hired to cook, which was the first restaurant in southern Zhejiang at that time. After the outbreak of World War II, Chen Kai's wife left Wenzhou to go abroad and transferred the store to Xu Yanchi and others, and renamed it "Hua Dali". They decorated the store and restaurant in a luxurious manner. China Italy specializes in dining business. Because of its well-run and distinctive features, it became famous for a while, and whenever the officials, gentry and rich Jia had a banquet, they would set up an Italian restaurant to hold it. There is a saying in old Wenzhou called "thick-skinned Italian board". Although it is a joke, it is conceivable that Italy was a household name in Wenzhou at that time. After liberation, the Italian restaurant moved to Sigu Bridge, then moved to Daoqian Bridge, and all the rest were turned into department stores, called "Yun Bo Shopping Mall", which is the predecessor of Wenzhou 111. When it comes to the development of Wuma Street in modern times, we can't help but mention Wu Baiheng, a famous patriotic industrialist in Wenzhou, who also made a fortune from Wuma Street. Wu Baiheng (1894-1973) opened Baiheng Pharmacy in Wuma Street in 1921, and made his own Feilelin, Mother of Blood, Crazy Pain Dew, Qianjindan and so on. With a certain amount of savings, in 1926, we founded "Baihao Condensed Milk Factory" behind the drugstore, and the registered trademark was "Escape Carving". Later, he founded Xishan Paper Mill, Xishan Kiln Factory, Far East Egg Powder Factory, Brewing Factory and Milk Sugar Factory. His mansion is also located in Wuma Street. In the old Wuma Street, in addition to the shops mentioned above, there were also ginseng medicines such as Laoxiangshan, Ganningzhai, Yuanchang and Baoda, as well as large shops such as Xudechang, Zhengfenghe and Tongren. Today's Wuma Street, some old shops that have continued to this day are still very popular, and they have gathered Kangnai, Aokang and Gilda leather shoes; Good news birds, Zhuang Ji costumes; Dahu lighters and other specialty stores of many emerging brand-name light industrial products in Wenzhou. With adjacent shops, beautiful goods, prosperous business and enduring charm, Wuma Street is still the busiest commercial street in Wenzhou.
