In the early morning in Ji Chun, the breeze was slightly cool, and I strolled along Gulou East Street in the old city. Looking at the dilapidated house for many years, it has been renovated. Although it has not been repaired as old as before, it does not lose the style of Loudong Old Street. The two-story building in Lunan stands tall; The tile houses in the north of the road are patchwork. This well-informed building group magically beats the Chen Meng in my mind.

Before liberation, Gulou East was an old street with heavy commerce and culture. At the easternmost end of the street is the imperial examination hall in ancient times, which became the earliest school in Anyang after its rise. Before liberation, it was a complete primary school. In the quiet campus, the floor is paved with blue stones, and several ancient trees cover the classrooms in the east and west corridors. From time to time, there is a loud reading sound. Unforgettable south playground, every morning, the gourmet breakfast arranged by vendors is mouth-watering. Our underground party has been working secretly here for a long time, which has given birth to many revolutionary kindling.

after you get out of the small gate, you will find the Anyang City God Temple. However, at that time, the City God Temple was no longer a simple temple, but an important commercial center in Anyang, known as the "shopping mall" (Xinhua Market after liberation). The shopping mall faces Shenlu Street, and the gate is located at the bottom of a two-story building. There are shops in the middle of the upper and lower floors of the building, and there are passages in and out of the Chenghuangmiao shopping mall on both sides. Shopping malls, cloth satin, clothing, shoes and hats, Beijing-made needles and needles, western pharmacies, photo studios, dental clinics, restaurants, shops, business is very prosperous. From the east passage to the north, passing through the downstairs of a restaurant, a large tea house and storytelling yard comes into view. There is no noise of shopping malls, elegant and quiet teahouse, and guests can eat melons and enjoy tea and listen to books. With the sound of the storyteller's police hall, sometimes it takes you into the battlefield, and sometimes into the elegant house. The listener is often weddings. Go north from here, and then go out of the back door of the shopping mall to Xianxi Street.

Town God Hall, located in the center of the shopping mall, enters the hall. On both sides, there are colored plastic statues of kids and judges, holding iron chains and grinning, which is really scary. Lord Chenghuang sits firmly in the sedan chair in the temple and carries it out regularly every year to visit the city and outside. At that time, the ceremonial ceremony will be dignified, the big flute will ring, the gongs and drums will be loud, and the ranks will be like dragons. Among them, there are all kinds of ghosts and gods, a ghost of the five permanent members with a high hat and a long tongue, wandering in the team, which is the most striking. Spectators are scrambling, all in awe.

The northwest of the shopping mall is connected with Zhuanhua Building, and you can go to Yaojia Hutong, Loupo Street and Ping 'an Street when you leave the west gate. Zhuanhua Building is a two-story building, surrounded by upper cloisters, hence its name. It is said that it was built in the early years of the Republic of China after the local businessman Zhou Zhengyuan and others visited Tianjin Quanyechang. In the 195s, due to disrepair, some houses collapsed, so it lost its prosperity.

another commercial street connecting Chenghuangmiao Shopping Mall and Zhuanhua Building is called Market Lane, which is adjacent to Chenghuangmiao in the west and Zhuanhua Building in the south. The street is narrow and the shops are small, so it can only be called a passageway. All stationery stores: there are Hu Bi Hui Mo and Xuan Paper Duan Yan; Red block letters are printed by hand. Every school season, parents and students come to buy stationery, and the streets are packed. On the eve of the Spring Festival, all kinds of New Year pictures are hung here, including beautiful women of the four seasons, fighting tigers with Wu Song, making friends in Taoyuan, flowers and birds, landscapes, beautifully drawn, excellent paper, dazzling and beautiful. Out of the market corridor, there is a lithograph bureau, whose mechanical printing is much more advanced than engraving printing. It has a disc and a pair of machines, and it has more distinctive lithograph: on a stone as flat as a mirror, the medicine paper with words written on it is spread, and the words are left on the stone, and the whole or folio paper can be printed. Printed materials such as big notices and advertisements in Anyang mostly come from here.

There are two music shops in the north of Loudong Road, near Guloupo Street. Huqin, Yueqin, Erhu, Banhu, Pipa, Flute and Changxiao; Gongs, drums, wooden fish and bangzi are all available. The orchestral music is elegant and the gongs and drums are sonorous, covering the whole street, which shows the unique rich cultural atmosphere of Loudong Street.

There are two Beijing goods stores in the southwest of Gulou East Road. One of the shopkeeper's younger brothers loves to play the Hu Qin, and more people stop to listen than the buyers. Later, this person went to Beijing to become a pianist of a famous Peking Opera, and after liberation, he taught in a music school. Further east, starting from the Song family optical shop, it is a two-story building, with lettering clubs, restaurants, eye pharmacies and grocery stores. Among them, there are three silver shops, and Zhenhua Silver Shop, the middle one, also runs the glasses industry. Most of these shops are workshops or houses after shops.

The storefront of Zhenhua Silver House is furnished with various silver ornaments. The big one has a trophy medal (then called Yindun); Small pieces include the Eight Immortals, brooches, hat flowers, hair clips, hair clips, earrings, rings, necklaces, collars and long-lived silver locks, which are exquisitely made and ingenious. The sale and repair of glasses should be exclusive to Anyang in the early days. The most difficult thing to repair glasses is grasshopper leg crystal glasses. To restore the damaged parts, it is necessary to use Jin Gangzuan, punch holes and set ornaments. If you are negligent, the glasses will be scrapped. This skill was passed on by the shopkeeper to his son and the owner of the Song optical shop. After liberation, they also became the best in the industry because they repaired glasses and recognized crystal lenses. Now, these crafts have been submerged in the long river of history and gone forever.

The old dream is vague, the past is long, and the glory in front of us brings Gulou East Street to the punching place in online celebrity, Anyang.
