About the origin of the name Gui Street (Ghost Street); there are many different versions, but they are all empty or hearsay, and the real story is only those who are the original indigenous residents of Dongzhimen can be explained clearly; during the Qing Dynasty, the Beijing city gates have a special purpose, and shall not be used arbitrarily, as the court must go to Deshengmen for sending out the troops and Yongdingmen for receiving the troops and Xuanwumen for execution of the criminals, so Dongzhimen is the best place to send troops, so Dongzhimen is the best place to send troops. Xuanwumen, Dongzhimen is only specialized in transporting timber to the city and to the outside of the city to transport the dead of the city gate, in the city on the edge of the indigenous people of about 50 years old still clearly remember when we were small, we call friends to the city gate to play with friends of the scenario, standing in the city on the tower to see the city is a straight dirt road can see the Drum Tower, and outside the city is a vast cemetery. Because of the city gate that was the combination of urban and rural areas, so the city gate naturally formed the original morning market, those who sell groceries, vegetables and fruits mainly vendors opened in the middle of the night after the dawn that is dispersed, the owner of the stalls to kerosene lamps to take the light, it looks like a long shadow from afar, coupled with the whole street than the neighboring coffin store and kong room, so it is called the "Ghost Market". Coincidentally, after the beginning of the market tide on both sides of Dongzhimen Street, many merchants have done a lot of various businesses, but none of them can do a good job, even the only one state-owned department store (that is, later the old site of the Jindingxuan) had to close down, but then people found that in this street can only do a good job in the restaurant, and the restaurant here during the day, almost no patronage, but at night it was The door of the market and the traffic flow of another prosperous scene. As for whether it is like the local old people say that at night the ghosts have to go into the city to eat and the formation of such a prosperous who can not explain it.
