According to historical records, Wangjing, as a place name, first appeared in Liao Dynasty, which has been more than 1000 years. What Shen Kuo said actually refers to the Liao Dynasty. Zhongjing (now Ningcheng, Inner Mongolia) was the capital of Liao Dynasty, and Youzhou (now Beijing) was regarded as one of the capital cities, called Nanjing (also known as Yanjing). In fact, Wangjing Pavilion was not built in Wangjing, but in Sunhou (now Sunhe Village), more than ten miles northeast of Wangjing. At that time, Sun Hou and Wangjing were both on the main road leading to Youzhou via Gubeikou in Beijing, and Sun Hou was on the south bank of Wenyu River (now Wenyu River), which was an important ferry crossing in and out of Youzhou in Northeast China at that time and also a battleground for military strategists. There used to be an earthen castle in the village to see the enemy's situation. Sun Hou was originally Sun Hou. In order to provide a place for the envoys to stay and drink, the Liao Dynasty established a mansion in Sun Hou. Originally Sun Houge, it was later changed to Wangjing Pavilion. Jing Wong must be more famous than Sun Hou. Looking for the remains of Wangjing Pavilion in Sunhe Village, I found nothing.

As Wangjing Pavilion is located behind Sun, Shen Kuo's "Sanli" seems to be inaccurate. Therefore, both Yu Minzhong's Textual Research on Old Stories of Sun and Wu Changyuan's Brief Introduction to Chen Yuan in Qing Dynasty called "Wangjing Pavilion in Sunhou Village, five miles northeast of the city". Considering that Youzhou in Liao Dynasty is in the area from Xibianmen to Xuanwumen today, this statement should be more accurate. In addition, there is also a saying of "forty miles" in Wang Zeng's Travel Notes in the Song Dynasty.

■ Wangjingdun in Ming Dynasty made Wangjing famous again.

If Wangjing Pavilion made Wangjing famous in Liao and Song Dynasties, it was Wangjing Pier that made Wangjing famous again in Ming Dynasty.

Wangjing Pier was built in the first year of Jingtai in Ming Dynasty (1450). At this time, the Ming Dynasty was in an era of war, with the constant invasion of the Mongolian Vara in the north and frequent wars. In the 14th year of Ming Dynasty (1449), in August, Emperor Zhu Qizhen led a 500,000-strong army to the north to make a crusade, but it was defeated by Huailai Civil Fort, and the Emperor became a prisoner of the Walla Army. Zhu Qiyu, the younger brother of Yingzong, then acceded to the throne (the so-called Jingdi). After he took office, the first thing he did was to reuse Yu Qian, the minister of the Ministry of War, and rely on him to refresh the internal affairs, rectify the army, prepare enough food and grass, build the Yugoslav capital and protect the capital. In the same year 10, Yu Qian led the Ming army to successfully defeat the Walla army at the gates of Beijing. After March, that is, in the first month of Jingtai in the Ming Dynasty, Yu Qian wrote to the emperor, demanding that Beijing's defense be strengthened: "Since there is no pier around the capital to overlook, it is really difficult to know its distance and camp. You can build a pier twenty or thirty miles away from the city and look around. " Jingdi replied, "You speak very well." It enabled Qin to explore and draw pictures. In June of the same year, the company commander Hou played again: "There are docks and platforms around the capital for observation." Only in 1 month and July, in the north and northeast of Beijing, "a double comprehensive store in Deshengmen and a dock in Wangjing Village outside Dongzhimen were built" (Historical Records of Border Beijing). As for the shape and scale of this pier, there is no record in the history books. But it can be compared with the scale of piers built in other places in that year: "three feet high and twelve feet wide." This "Wangjing Village Pier" was mentioned in Textual Research on Old News under the Sun and Brief Introduction to Chen Yuan in Qing Dynasty.

After more than 550 years of ups and downs, Wangjing Pier has disappeared. Now people in Wangjing Village don't know what Wangjing Pier is, but the old people in the village still remember that there was an earthen bag in the south of the village in the early years, called "Dudun", which may be the legacy of Wangjing Pier. Later, the only remaining adobe was leveled by building a factory and building roads.

■ In the late Ming Dynasty, Wangjing Village was divided into small and large villages.

Before the Ming Dynasty, Wangjing was just a village. By the end of the Ming Dynasty, Wangjing village was divided into large and small villages. The two villages are separated by a small river, with Dawangjing Village in the east and Xiaoweijing Village in the west. By the 1990s, the permanent population of Dawangjing Village was nearly 2,000, with more than 440 households. Xiaowujing village has more than 700 people and more than 300 households. Although people in Wangjing Village know almost nothing about Wangjing Pavilion and Wangjing Wharf, when it comes to the origin of Wangjing, the old people in the village will tell the fact that when they stood at the head of the village, they could see Dongzhimen (Tower) and Drum Tower.

■ Qianlong Emperor Yufeng Wangjing?

In addition, we can also hear a legend about the imperial seal of Wangjing from their mouths: In those days, Emperor Qianlong went to the summer resort for the summer, crossed the village through the imperial road, stopped to have a rest, and looked back at Dongzhimen while drinking tea, and immediately named this place Wangjing. The simple sayings and legends of the old people probably tell the original meaning of Wangjing. Of course, Dongzhimen was invisible in the Liao Dynasty, but at that time you could see a high point in Youzhou City. This statement is not groundless. Look at the altitude of villages around Wangjing. Although they are all on the great plains, Wangjing Village is almost one meter higher than the surrounding villages and more than two meters higher than Sunhe Village. Imagine that the envoys and merchants from the north walked out of the vast Yanshan Mountains and arrived at Wangjing, suddenly seeing a corner of the capital. The old man in Dawangjing Village still has an impression. In the early years, the Imperial Road passed through the village, and the shops and pubs on both sides of the Imperial Road were arranged one after another, which was very lively. Fifty years ago, there was an old temple in the village (one hall for two old people), and historical sites such as one step and two wells have disappeared. Around Wangjing Village, there used to be several cemeteries of celebrities in Ming and Qing Dynasties, but most of them have been calmed down. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, there were only a few temples and two Pinus massoniana trees in the cemetery of military ministers and university students (commonly known as "the Hall of History").

Wangjing community has a history of 10 years. Except for the "Old Wangjing" where a few generations have lived here, most of them are "immigrants" from other places. For the past of this land, "Old Wangjing" will learn something from their parents, but for many outsiders, it is probably full of doubts. We checked the information and interviewed some elderly people in Wangjing to tell you about the origin of Wangjing place names.

The ancient origin-During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, an altar was set up in Jiang Tai, and the southern district of Wangjing Community was originally the administrative village of Fangjian, west eight, Jiang Tai Township. "Jiang Tai" is named after the altar that once existed near Jiang Tai Village West Station. This altar was built by Murong Jun, the emperor of sixteen countries in the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Now this altar has long since disappeared, and Jiangtaiwa Village, where the altar is located, is now under the jurisdiction of Dongfeng Township, not Jiangtaixiang, due to the adjustment of administrative planning.

Vicissitudes-In the Yuan Dynasty, "Futong" was a waterway. There are two roads in Wangjing, one is called Futong East Street and the other is called Futong West Street. The word "Fortis" is very strange. In fact, the word "Futong" was named after the "Futong River" that flowed here during the Yuan and Ming Dynasties. Futong River, also known as Bahe River, is a small canal on the south side of Siyuan Bridge in the southwest of Wangjing. However, in the Yuan Dynasty, this was not a small canal, but a grand canal for water transportation. 1279, Beiliang River was opened in Yuan Dynasty. This river is named Futong River, and its end point is at Guangxi Gate, which is now Xiba River. Seven dams, including Si Qian Dam, Changqing Dam, Guocun Dam, Xiyang Dam, Zhengcun Dam, Wangcun Dam and Shengou Dam, were built in the middle reaches of the Futong River to transport water, hence the name Futong River. Until the end of the Qing Dynasty, Bahe River gradually lost its water transport capacity because of insufficient water resources and siltation and disrepair. Xibahe and Dongba; It is also related to this river; Two other place names in Chaoyang District, "Xibahe" and "Dongba", are also named after the dam on the Futong River. Xibahe is located in the west of Changqing Dam, hence its name. And "Dongba" is actually the area around Zhengcunba.

1. "Mammary ovary" is a racecourse. There is a village called "Milk Ovary" in Cuigezhuang Township in the north, and the bus terminals of 944 and 939 from Wangjing are in the "Milk Ovary". The origin of the milk ovary is related to the fact that it used to be a racecourse. During the Liao and Jin Dynasties in the Yuan Dynasty, Mongolians loved to drink horse milk, so this is a place where horses were specially raised to produce milk for Mongolian nobles to drink. For a long time, it was also called "horse milk ovary". At the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, the village developed into two villages, namely "Manaizi East Village" and "Manaizi West Village". 1979, the place name was changed to "Milk Ovary", but it was still divided into "Naidong Village" and "Naixi Village".

2. Laiguangying used to be Zhenglanqi Barracks. Laiguangying Township is the barracks of Zhenglan Banner in Qing Dynasty, commonly known as "Blue Camp", and later became a homophonic "Laiying" village. It was not until 1908 that the name "Laiguangying" was first used. During the Ming, Qing and Republic of China, Laiguangying was an important garrison of successive governments, and there are still some remains of old barracks. There used to be 32 natural villages in Laiguangying Township. From the names of some villages, we can see the regional characteristics of that year. For example, there are many village names with the word "camp" in Laiguangying Township. Now there are Laiguang Camp, Warrior Camp, Qinghe Camp and Huang Junying Camp, all of which are related to the garrison in the early Ming Dynasty and the Eight Banners in the Qing Dynasty.

There are many "graves" in Wangjing West Garden. Laiguangying area is located in the suburbs of Ming and Qing Dynasties, so this area is still a royal cemetery. Dignitaries, ladies-in-waiting, eunuchs and even some royalty are buried here. In terms of place names, there used to be as many as 14 villages with graves in Guangying Township, such as Shi Jia Tomb, Zhao Jia Tomb, Wangye Tomb and Liu Gongzhu Tomb. Shijiafen Village is located in the west of Du Kang community. It is one of the few remaining old villages in Wangjing, but it has been included in the scope of demolition. "Zhaojiafen" is the area around Wangjing West Park now. The "Duke Liu's Tomb" near Wanghe Bridge is the tomb of Princess Shou Engulun, the sixth daughter of Daoguang in Qing Dynasty. The Ming and Qing tombs excavated on Wangjing West Road some time ago also show that Wangjing once had a large cemetery. From the 1960s to the early 1980s, the word "grave" at the end of the village names in Laiguangying Township was changed to "village", "village" and "village".

4. Interesting changes-Zanthoxylum bungeanum-Huajiadi-The land of painters is located in Huajiadi community in the northeast corner of the North Fourth Ring Road, which used to be a pepper field. "It turns out that this is a farmland with a large area of peppers planted on it, so this area is also called pepper land." The older generation of "Old Wangjing" told reporters. At the beginning of 1988, Cheng Kai Group built the first batch of residential quarters in Wangjing Community in this pepper field, and the homonym of pepper field is "Huajiadi Community". Now Huajiadi has been divided into Huajiadi Xili, Huajiadi Beili, Huajiadi Li Nan and Huajiadi, which is a large residential area in Wangjing. A few years ago, as the Central Academy of Fine Arts moved to Huajiadi, a large number of artists gathered nearby, and Huajiadi was gradually dubbed as "the land of painters", and its real original name was almost forgotten.

The original Wangjing was a village, but most of the land in the current "Wangjing Community" actually does not belong to Wangjing. At present, the area north of Nanhu Dongyuan, including Wangjing Garden and Wangjing Science and Technology Park, was originally under the jurisdiction of Laiguangying Township. The southern part of Atlantic New Town basically belongs to Jiang Tai Town. The real Wangjing is in a Wangjing village next to Jingshun Road. Nanhu, Beihu and Donghu originally belonged to Laiguangying; The area of Nanhu Dongyuan Community in the northwest of Wangjing used to belong to Nanhu Canal, Beihu Canal and Donghu Canal, and was originally under the jurisdiction of Laiguangying Township. The South Lake Canal was demolished a long time ago, and now several communities have been built on the original site. Now South Lake Canal Xili, Ji Jing Qinyuan, Yinling International, South Lake East Park, South Lake Middle Park and South Lake West Park are the original sites of South Lake Canal Village. Two villages, Donghu Canal and Beihu Canal, still exist. Donghu Canal is located in the west of Wangjing Garden and east of Beixiaohe Park. Now it is the "village in the city" of Wangjing. Beihu Canal is located in the northwest of Wangjing, and a large number of residents still live here.

Since the large-scale construction of 1994 began, Wangjing, a region with special significance, has become a medium-sized new city with a regional commercial center through continuous changes and development. Ten years ago, Wangjing was a desolate "small village" on the edge of Beijing. Ten years later, Wangjing became the largest international residential community in Asia. The rapid development of Wangjing shocked the world, and now it is found that Wangjing has the following major changes:

The traffic bottleneck was quickly broken.

Wangjing is known as "easy to get in, hard to get out", but in the past two years, the traffic environment in Wangjing is undergoing earth-shaking changes. On the one hand, the traffic network organization of Wangjing has been improved. Many previous broken roads have been opened to traffic one after another, and isolation belts have been added on both sides of the roads, which has changed the traffic chaos caused by unmanned management in the past to some extent. On the other hand, Wangjing has opened the traffic artery with the periphery. The subway 13 line passes through Wangjing West, which is convenient for residents to quickly enter the East-West Second and Third Ring Roads. Coupled with the planned subway line 4, the rail transit power in Wangjing area should not be underestimated. At the same time, with the completion and opening to traffic of Wangjing West Road and Futong East Street in the hinterland of Wangjing, the traffic congestion problem of "unable to get out in the morning and unable to get in at night" around Wangjing will be effectively solved.

Wangjing second-hand housing led the market.

The residential projects developed in Wangjing area are mainly high-rise towers and high-rise board buildings, while the mid-range projects are mainly two-bedroom and three-bedroom, and the market supply is relatively single. In order to change the situation that the products developed in the new area were too single in the past, the projects entering Wangjing area were mainly high-grade apartments, luxury houses and office buildings, large public buildings and commercial supporting centers, and large cultural and entertainment centers.

First, the number of new buildings is limited and the price is high.

Second: the price of second-hand houses is moderate, leading the rise.

The houses developed in Wangjing area after 1990s cover almost the whole area. Most of these houses are very novel in structure, and the facilities of large rooms, large living rooms and large kitchens are relatively perfect, breaking the traditional pattern of small rooms, small living rooms and narrow kitchens of second-hand houses. Many second-hand houses are finely decorated and of high grade.

Third: the overall quality of buyers has improved.

If the population of Wangjing in the 1990s was mainly local farmers who went upstairs in the process of urbanization, then with the arrival of multinational companies such as Samsung Galaxy, Siemens, Panasonic, LG and Motorola, the population became more and more homogeneous-white-collar workers with higher education are becoming the mainstream population of Wangjing. In addition, due to the special concentration of Koreans, Wangjing is also a well-known "Korean village". By the end of 2007, there were about 80,000 Koreans living in Wangjing, accounting for 90% of the total number of Koreans in Beijing. Hanbok, Korean barbecue and Korean specialty stores are all blooming everywhere in Wangjing. In South Korea, Wangjing is becoming more and more famous. Even many Koreans who have never been to Beijing know that Wangjing is the "village" where Koreans gather the most in Beijing.

In the next two or three years, with the presence of more foreign companies, more and more middle-and high-income groups will choose to buy houses in Wangjing. With the implementation of the blueprint of Wangjing planning, the construction of high-tech parks, the continuous improvement of transportation, life, education, medical care, shopping and entertainment, and the improvement of employment environment and quality of life, Wangjing will once again become the focus of people's attention.

Commercial facilities are being upgraded.

In the past two years, the infrastructure renovation of Wangjing has attracted a large number of international retailers, such as B&Q, Ai Jia Home, Jiamao Hualian Department Store, Huatang Shopping Mall, Liubaiben, Carrefour, Wangjing International Business Center, IKEA Wangjing Store, Wal-Mart, Auchan, New World Department Store and Hollywood Studios. According to statistics, the new commercial area in Wangjing area alone this year reached 600,000 square meters, and the commercial facilities in Wangjing are rising rapidly.

Fortune 500 companies actively entered.

China headquarters and R&D center of Canadian Nortel Network. Motorola China Headquarters and R&D Center. Ericsson China Headquarters and R&D Center. Samsung Electronics (China) Service Headquarters. American Agilent Technology. German BMW automotive electronics R&D center. Beijing Mercedes-Benz Building. Lucent Technology Bell Labs. Sony Ericsson China Headquarters, etc.

Strive to build three bases

In addition to the above-mentioned "high-tech R&D base" represented by Motorola, Samsung Electronics and other well-known enterprises, Wangjing is also committed to building a "foreign student entrepreneurship base". This move is mainly to train overseas students and provide good conditions for their development.

Wangjing has now formed: a gathering base for high-tech enterprises, a development base for private enterprises and a pioneering base for overseas students. Based on this, we don't need to conservatively predict that Wangjing will inevitably develop into a gathering place of high-tech industries and modern manufacturing industries.
