Dashilan, located in the center of ancient Beijing, is an important part of the south central axis, and has been a bustling commercial district in history. Dashilan has a history of 58 years The origin of this street can be traced back to the first year of Emperor Xiaozhong Hongzhi in Ming Dynasty. At that time, there was a "Xiao Ban" in Beijing. In order to prevent thieves from hiding in the streets and lanes, wooden fences were built at many street crossings in Beijing with the approval of the DPRK. According to the Qing Dynasty's Examples of Imperial Orders, there were 44 fences in the outer city approved in the seventh year of Yongzheng, 1919 fences in the inner city approved in the eighteenth year of Qianlong, and 196 fences in the imperial city. Dashilan used to be four corridors. Because the fence of this hutong is well-made, preserved for a long time, and larger, it has gradually attracted the attention of the capital. Therefore, Dashilan has become the name of this hutong.

Dashilan is located in the south of Tiananmen Square and the west of Qianmen Street, with a total length of 275 meters from the east exit to the west exit. Since the 18th year of Yongle in Ming Dynasty (142), after more than 5 years of evolution, it has gradually developed into a commercial street with many shops. Now, there are 36 shops in 11 industries in this street, with an average passenger flow of 15-16 people and more than 2, people on holidays.

In history, although there are ups and downs, this ancient commercial street has its own unique place because it can withstand more than 58 years of historical storms. There is a jingle in old Beijing called "watch things on the overpass and buy things at Dashilan." "Ma Juyuan on the top of his head, his feet rising inline, wearing eight auspicious symbols, and his waist wrapped around four constant symbols" are all about the status and prosperity of Dashilan in his early years.

Now, everything has changed except the noise. After the feudal dross was removed from Dashilan, a commercial street scene appeared.
