Among them was a filial son named Zhang. After his death, the neighbors felt his filial piety and built a street building with a memorial tablet for the filial son inside to show his virtue. Because this cross-street building has carved railings, people called this small street Hualou Street. It was not until 1851-1861 (the Xianfeng period of the Qing Dynasty) that a street parallel to it was developed in the north. At that time, it was also called Hualou Street.
