as a thousand-year-old city, Linhai is naturally rich in historical background, rich in humanities and numerous historical sites. Since ancient times, it has enjoyed the reputation of "Little Zou Lu" and "Cultural State", forming a "four-name" city with famous cities, celebrities, historical sites and special names. It is also an "excellent tourist city in China" and a "national garden city", and it is the first county-level city in China to be awarded the title of "livable city in China".

To say that the place closest to real life in this ancient city, of course, belongs to Ziyang Ancient Street. This 1,-meter-long old street is like a microcosm of the sea. It needs history, historical sites, humanities and allusions. At present, people living along the street, including various shops and snack bars, are still mostly local people, and they all preserve their original flavor. Therefore, if you travel to the seaside, you must visit here.

Stroll through the ancient streets and turn into some small lanes unintentionally, and you may find something unexpected. And some obscure corners, it is hidden and others found the original story. Interestingly, I also met an old lady who was willing to tell stories to passers-by. When I met her, it happened to be dinner, so I had to press my curiosity. If it is fate, come and listen next time.

In fact, the names of the ancient street were very numerous at first, even a little "messy". According to the book "Linhai County Governing Guo Tu" which was redrawn in the 23 rd year of the Republic of China (1934), this street has no records of street names, but is called the location of this street according to historical sites, names and place names. At that time, it was called Huangfang Bridge at the northern end of the street, Lanxiu Building at the southern end, and the middle section. From north to south, it was called Ziyang Palace, Yidongtian, Fengxian Square, Crossroads, Yingxianfang, Baita Qiaotou, Fangyiren, Deqing Lane, Paimenzhou, Laxiangkou, Anletian and Tanxing Street, etc. There were many place names, which brought a lot of inconvenience to the citizens at that time. To tell the truth, I'm a little dizzy now.

In order to unify the street names, during the Anti-Japanese War, Zhuang Qianghua, the county magistrate of the Kuomintang, chose some celebrities to name the Chengguan Street in Linhai. There are Wenqing Street, Liudun Street, Minglei Street, etc. Now Ziyang Street is named Zhongzheng Street. But even so, the local people continue to call the original place names street names. After all, everyone has lived here for a long time and has long been used to it, and they are very familiar with each other. "Zhongzheng Street" basically exists in name only.

after liberation, the relevant departments solicited opinions from people from all walks of life, and made overall planning and naming for the names of Chengguan Street and Lane with reference to historical reality. In order to commemorate the peaceful liberation of Linhai, Zhongzheng Street was named Jiefang Street, which has been in use for 5 years.

Until 1994, people in Linhai made a detailed and comprehensive investigation on the history of Jiefang Street, and in 1998, it was officially named Ziyang Street on the premise of sufficient reasons. It was renamed Ziyang Street to commemorate the ancestor of Nanzong, Zhang Boduan, whose name was Ziyang. He was born in the eighth year of Taiping Xingguo in the Northern Song Dynasty (983) and died in the fifth year of Yuanfeng (182). He was 99 years old and lived in Guanyingzhu Lane in Linhai City. Zhang Boduan's book "Wu Zhen Pian" advocates the theory of the integration of Confucianism, Buddhism, Taoism and three religions centered on Taoist Inner alchemy, which is in the same place as Wei Boyang's "Shentongqi".

after living in the city for a long time, you will inevitably feel a little too noisy and noisy. Walking around this ancient street, you can see the tranquility and comfort of ordinary life everywhere. If there is an opportunity, I think I'd be happy to come to Linhai. I'd better live next to the ancient street. I can eat the "authentic" snacks here in the morning. If I'm hungry at night, I can also wander around and look for some local food.
