Unless you are from Yunnan, you can find the corresponding zodiac street in Yunnan.
Although people don't have a good impression of rats, there are quite a few places named after "Rat Street" all over Yunnan. There is a rat street in the south of Aziying Township in Kunming.
There are also places called "Rat Street" in Weishan County, Songming County, luliang county County, Guangnan County, Nanhua County and Dayao County.

Here's a little knowledge: the name of Xiangjiezi in Yunnan is named after the zodiac, and the time to catch the street is determined by the heavenly stems and earthly branches calendar method.
For example, the rat street we are talking about now, Jiazi Day and Bingzi Day all correspond to the "rat" in the Chinese zodiac, which is also called "rat day" in the local area. "
In addition, the local fair pays attention to" catching six days in the air ",so it is necessary to catch up with the gathering every five days, so" rat day "and" horse day "are the fair days.
The characteristic of Rat Street is that the New Year's Eve dinner is very long. In the local area, the New Year's Eve dinner is usually eaten from the 31th to the 15th day of the first month, and a small dish of leftover vegetables is taken out every day, which means "more than one year".

Let's talk about Qinglong Street, an ancient town in Banqiao, Baoshan with an interesting history.
the local feng shui master thinks that Banqiao street divides into two roads to the north, which is very similar to the word "people". In addition, there are two villages on both sides of the street, which is like two points, so the overall shape becomes the word "fire". Such terrain will lead to frequent fires.
In order to cut off the "fire source", the villagers pooled their money to build a street-crossing building above the street, and asked Kuixing to keep it safe. In order to suppress the "anger" in the name, Banqiao Street was also renamed Qinglong Street.
on the signboard of the teahouse that has been passed down from the street for a hundred years, it seems that you can see the original appearance of the street.
