Historical Tracing of Old Streets and Alleys in Changsha
Although many ancient buildings in Changsha were burned down in Wenxi fire, commercial streets and high-rise buildings also changed the face of the city, you can still see traces of history in some old streets. Shops have been built in some streets and lanes, and the former prosperity has taken on a new look; Some of them are not near mainstream business districts or scenic spots. If you are not interested tourists, it is easy to miss these seemingly unusual historical witnesses. Take a look at it before it is all torn down.
Chaozong Street east of Huangxing North Road, as one of the few remaining Mashi Streets in Changsha, was once the seat of Changsha County in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, and it was the only way from the city gate to Xiangjiang Wharf in the old days. After the Republic of China, Xiangya Medical College, Fu Tao Girls' Middle School and true jesus church were established here one after another. Now you can still see the stone tablet of the former residence of military affairs minister Qu in the late Qing Dynasty, and the church is still there. In the middle of the street, there is also a hotel of the Republic of China hidden in an alley named "Zi Yuan". Open the door and you can see the old stage of the Republic of China with cornices inside.
Most street names in Changsha have historical significance. By looking at the street name, we can know the location of this street in the past government office building. In front of the office is the "main street" and behind it is the "back street". For example, Duzheng Street, Xianzheng Street and Gaozheng Street next to Tianxin are all county offices of Huashan County established in the Ming and Qing Dynasties. During the day, it is quiet and peaceful, and it still retains the taste of ancient poetry; After nightfall, it became a popular food street.
Taiping Street, where Jia Yi's former residence is located, preserves a relatively complete pattern of "fishbone" street. Because of its proximity to the Xiangjiang River, businessmen have gathered for thousands of years. At the beginning of the 20th century, foreign companies gathered and prospered. At the end of 2007, this ancient street was renovated as an antique, and now it is a commercial street full of tourists.
Mobil foreign firm was transformed into a small museum to display Huxiang culture. Taiping granary is closed, formerly known as Ganyisheng granary in the late Qing Dynasty. Its owner, Zhu Changlin, is Zhu Rongji's great grandfather and uncle. Go deep into the alley and observe the architectural style of Changsha ancient dwellings without disturbing the owner. Compared with the bustling commercial street dozens of meters away, it is obviously closer to the original life of the local area for decades.
The second game in Changsha
Experience Huxiang culture on the west bank of Xiangjiang River.
Yuelu District in Hexi is a must to experience Hunan literature and history. Although Yuelu Academy, Yuelu Mountain and Orange Island are full of tourists all the year round, the quiet and elegant background of the mountains and sandbars is not diminished, and the old buildings in colleges and universities at the foot of the mountains will also make you feel the inheritance and accumulation of this land.
yuelu mountain
Below the foothills, Yuelu Mountain is at the foot of Hengshan Mountain in Nanyue. This famous Huxiang Mountain with profound cultural and historical background is only 300 meters above sea level. There are many ancient and famous trees on the mountain, which are green in spring and summer. In late autumn, maple and ginkgo trees turn red and yellow. In winter, there is a unique frozen beauty. There are two gates in the scenic spot, the south gate and the east gate. If the time is short, two or three hours from the south gate will be enough to see the main attractions.
You can see the famous Yuelu Academy here, and the Love Night Pavilion comes out from the back door. The museum's fame stems from Du Mu's "Mountain Walk" and "Night Sleeping in LAM Raymond", which is especially popular with group tourists in late autumn. When I was studying in Changsha, Mao Zedong, I often took my friends to "lean on the bar for several nights", which is also an important place for Xinmin Society activities.
The ancient Lushan Temple halfway up the mountain is the birthplace of Huxiang Buddhism. On both sides of the gatehouse, there are famous couplets of "the first scene in Han and Wei Dynasties, the first scene in the world"
There are no lanes and paths on the main road. Sightseeing bus, come on, be careful.
3. Take the Lishan Line and get off at Taozihu Station, then walk to the south gate of the scenic spot. You can also take Metro Line 2 and get off at Xuwan Town Station, then transfer to a bus and get off at Taozihu Station.
Orange i.
It is said that Changsha is named after the long beach in this river. After the Jin and Tang Dynasties, many kinds of citrus appeared on the mainland. In Du Fu's poem, he said, "Taoyuan people have changed the system, but the land in Orange Island is still fertile." Zhu and Zhang Zhi had a rest here when they crossed the river to Yuelu Academy in the Southern Song Dynasty. 1904, more than ten years after Changsha was turned into a commercial port, there were gradually alien residential areas on the mainland. Today, you can also see Tang Shengzhi's residence during the Republic of China and the Juzhou 19 10 Western Restaurant, which was converted from the priest's residence. 1925, 32-year-old Mao Zedong spent an "independent cold autumn" here, watched "Going North on Xiangjiang River" and wrote a famous song "Qinyuanchun Changsha".
Changsha Gameplay III
Looking for simplicity and modernity on the east bank of Xiangjiang River
The temperament of Hedong is completely different from that of Hexi. Although there are many historical sites in the scenic area, almost all of them were rebuilt after the Wenxi fire, which is suitable as a window to understand history. The provincial and municipal fairs are worth seeing, with exquisite exhibits and sincere exhibition design. There are also old streets you have to see in Changsha, such as Baisha Street facing Baishajing, Baiguoyuan Lane facing the north gate of Hualong Pool, Wenmiaoping Lane connecting Nanmenkou and Du Fu Jiangge, etc. They are all old streets with stories. In your walking, you will really touch the urban texture of old Changsha.
Hunan Provincial Museum
Hunan Provincial Museum consists of two exhibition halls, namely, History and Culture and Mawangdui Han Tomb, with rich collections and exquisite displays. The museum has a free lecture every half hour (except11:00-13: 30). Located on the second floor, the "Hunan People-Sanxiang History and Culture" exhibition hall can let you know in detail the historical evolution of Hunan's cultural customs of Miao, Tujia, Dong and Yao from the bronze civilization of Yin and Shang Dynasties to the arrival of Chu people in Hunan, and then to the prosperity of Huguang in Jiangxi.
The third floor is the exhibition hall of Mawangdui Han Tomb in Changsha. Wangdui is the most important historical heritage in Hunan Province. A large number of funerary objects unearthed from Xin Zhui's tomb are displayed in the exhibition hall, which restores the present life of ancient people and their yearning for the afterlife.
Tian Xin
During the Wanli period, Tianxin Pavilion was regarded as a symbol of the ancient city of Changsha. At the beginning of the 20th century, Changsha people decided the time by the gunfire at noon.
During the Anti-Japanese War, it was a civic club behind the smoke. Today's Tianxin Park is still very lively, and people play and sing in the morning and evening, which is very lively.
Passing through Chonglie Gate and Chonglie Pavilion to commemorate the soldiers killed in Changsha Battle is the only historical site in ancient Changsha-the site of the ancient city wall. Be careful of the narrow and steep stairs when climbing the attic. You can watch the 4D short film Guan Yu vs Changsha in Gongbei Building, and there is a century-old Changsha photo exhibition in Nanping Building, which is a good opportunity for travelers to understand the history of Changsha.
changsha museum
Although the provincial Expo is in full swing, Changsha Museum has been very popular since it moved here on 20 15, which is worth exploring. The first floor and the second floor introduce the history and culture of Changsha in ancient and modern times with the topics of "Xiangjiang going north" and "hitting water in the middle stream" respectively.
Now that we're here, let's go and enjoy the Changsha Planning Exhibition Hall, the Municipal Library and the Municipal Concert Hall on both sides. The architectural style and exterior wall design are very thoughtful.
