The gathering of Kaifeng Bookstore Street

At the southern end of Bookstore Street, there is a blue-gray Qing Dynasty building, and the sculpture of "Shouxing Holding Peach" is inlaid right above the gate. The old birthday girl is dressed in a yellow robe and has a white beard, which is as vivid as walking on the wall. This old shop was founded in Xianfeng period of Qing Dynasty. The owner once did business in Jincheng and Yangcheng, Shanxi Province, and later set up this shop in Kaifeng, named "Jinyang Yu". It mainly deals in fruits and groceries, and has also been converted into a pastry workshop, which was once prosperous. Time has passed and changed several times. In the ups and downs of history, Jinyang Yu has irrevocably declined, but this time-honored brand has been preserved and now it has become a bookstore.

next to Jinyang Yu, there is a small building with gray walls and red columns, which looks like a church. The wall sculpture is the traditional word "trademark" held up by two wheat ears, with colorful carvings of lotus, lotus leaf and lotus root on both sides. Here is another famous time-honored brand "Bao Yaoji" in Bookstore Street. It was founded in Tongzhi period of Qing Dynasty, and the owner Bao Yaoting was originally based on? A hawker who sells pens for a living built this warehouse after he made a fortune. When his son took over the business, he changed to cakes and became famous. Now, however, the scenery is long gone, and he is also operating books. Bookstore Street is not only a bookstore, but also restaurants and department stores. Strangely, it is difficult for other industries to become a big climate here. In addition to all kinds of books, hundreds of cultural products such as pen, ink, paper, sports equipment, Chinese and foreign musical instruments, ancient and modern calligraphy and painting are operated here, and most of the business is booming.

Bookstore Street is an old street and a small street. It is only 6 meters long, but now there are more than 4 bookstores and more than 1 stationery stores. Despite the vicissitudes of hundreds of years, it still maintains the cultural characteristics of bookstores and adheres to the streetscape of the Ming and Qing Dynasties. It is the persistence of this personality that makes Bookstore Street unique among many old commercial streets, adding a lot of charm to this city with ancient books.
