Liulichang Street, located outside Heping Gate in Beijing, is a famous cultural street in Beijing. It originated in the Qing Dynasty. At that time, most juren who came to Beijing to take the imperial examination lived in this area, so there were many shops selling books, pen, ink, paper and inkstones here, forming a strong cultural atmosphere. Most foreigners come to Beijing to travel here. The famous Liulichang Cultural Street in Beijing, located outside Heping Gate in Beijing, is about 8 meters long, stretching from the north and south Liuxiang in Xicheng District to Yanshou Street in Xicheng District in the west. In fact, it was far away from the Liao Dynasty in history. It was not in the city, but in the suburbs. At that time, it was called "Haiwang Village". Later, in the Yuan Dynasty, an official kiln was opened here to burn glazed tiles. Since the construction of the inner city in the Ming Dynasty, the scale of the official kiln was expanded because of the construction of the palace, and Liulichang became one of the five largest factories of the imperial Ministry of Industry at that time. After the outer city was built in the 32nd year of Jiajing in Ming Dynasty, it became an urban area, so Liulichang was not suitable for burning kilns in the city, but moved to Liuliqu Village in Mentougou District, but the name of Liulichang was preserved and passed down to this day.

During the Shunzhi period in the early Qing Dynasty, "Man and Han lived in different cities" in Beijing. Liulichang was just in the west of Outer Town, where most Han officials lived nearby. Later, guildhall halls all over the country were built nearby, and officials and examiners often gathered here to visit the book market, so that Qianmen, dengshikou and Chenghuang Temple book market, which were booming in the Ming Dynasty, gradually moved to Liulichang. Booksellers from all over the world have also set up stalls, built rooms and sold a large number of books here. The bustling market and convenient conditions have formed the "elegant place to travel in Kyoto", which has gradually developed Liulichang into the largest book market in Beijing, forming a cultural street with a rich collection of humanities, and the pen and ink, antique calligraphy and painting related to culture have also developed. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, a normal school was built on the site of the original Liulichang, which is the predecessor of the current high school attached to Normal University. Haiwang Village Park was built to the south of the original site, which became the center of Liulichang market and one of the most lively places in Changdian. In 1927, the Peace Gate and Xinhua Street were built. Since then, Liulichang Cultural Street has been divided into East Liulichang and West Liulichang. Shop Liulichang has many famous old shops, such as Huaiyin Mountain House, Ruguzhai, Guyizhai, Ruichengzhai, Cuiwenge, Yidege, Lifushou Bizhuang, etc., as well as China Bookstore, the largest antique bookstore in China, and the original three bookstores in West Liulichang-Commercial Press, Zhonghua Bookstore and World Bookstore. The most famous old shop in Liulichang is Rong Baozhai. Some people say that Liulichang is famous for its famous cultural old shops such as Rong Baozhai. This statement has its truth. Rong Baozhai's predecessor was "Songzhuzhai", and it was renamed as "Rong Baozhai" in Guangxu period, which meant "making friends with literature, making honor a treasure". Lu Runxiang, a famous calligrapher, wrote the word "Rong Baozhai". In the late Qing Dynasty, literati often gathered here, and during the Republic of China, the older generation of painters and calligraphers such as Yu Youren, Zhang Daqian, Wu Changshuo and Qi Baishi were also frequent visitors here. I don't know if you have carefully watched the film founding ceremony and the photo of founding ceremony. The measuring ruler used by Mr. Shen Junru, a famous old man with a long beard, was bought in Rong Baozhai. Rong Baozhai thought that in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China, Rong Baozhai, Daqian Gallery and other old Liulichang shops were vying to hang famous paintings and calligraphy in front of the window. Attract people to stop and watch, and become a landscape of Liulichang. At that time, it was also the most famous paintings in Rong Baozhai. The most famous ones in Rong Baozhai are woodblock watermarks and replicas. Rong Baozhai's woodcut watermarking technology integrates engraving, printing, cutting and other technologies, which makes the art of watermarking more perfect and has been praised by Mr. Lu Xun. After liberation, under the care of the Party and * * *, some of Rong Baozhai's traditional crafts are even more brilliant. Rong Baozhai's reproduction technology of printed matter has reached the peak, resembling the original, which is enough to confuse the real with the fake. Rong Baozhai's famous works, such as Wenyuan Map and Riverside Scene at Qingming Festival, have been exhibited in many countries, attracting the admiration of countless famous artists and enjoying a high reputation internationally. When Mr. Qi Baishi, a famous master of Chinese painting, was alive, he could hardly tell which one was his original and which one was a copy. Since the reform and opening up, with the support and advocacy of Beijing and Xuanwu District, Liulichang has undergone many renovations and repairs, making this famous cultural old street glow with new youth. Today's Liulichang Cultural Street has become a place where books, calligraphy and paintings, antiques and Four Treasures of the Study are widely gathered, and it has become a must-see place for domestic and foreign tourists to patronize old Beijing culture. At the same time, because this geomantic treasure-house is a place where officials, scholars, cultural businessmen and pear garden artists live together, it has the richest cultural resources: cultural landscapes such as allusions, stories and interpersonal relationships. All these constitute a part of the "national soul" in the spiritual world of China people. This is the basis of re-planning, designing and conceiving Liulichang Cultural Industry Park today, and it is also an important difference from other short-history areas with less historical and cultural resources and relatively large imagination space. Therefore, Liulichang is a big "cultural circle" that collects traditional culture. Strolling through the Cultural Street, Liulichang was a dirt road, with low shops on both sides of the street, and there were no counters and checkout counters in the bookstore at that time. In one or two bookstores in frontispiece, all the walls are covered with bookshelves when you enter the door, and each book is attached with a label, which indicates the bibliography and price. The window of the back room is the capital. There is a painted Eight Immortals table with plush chairs on both sides and couplets hanging between the walls. The contents of the couplets are inseparable from books-"It's better to get friends like the moon, and it's better to read exotic books than to see flowers", "Everything is better to be happy, and flowers are more fragrant than reading", "It's useless to read books about countries often" and "It's better to cultivate the heart than to desire, and it's better to be happy than reading" Liulichang, except the bookstore, is an antique shop. At that time, "antiques" were called "antiques", which was antiques, and later they were called antiques. "Antique" is called "literary play" among the literate population, which means something that is elegant for literati to play with, but it is also possible from a historical and cultural point of view, because to play these antique things, not ordinary people can play with them, and they must have some historical and cultural knowledge, which is more extensive than "antique" because it contains new things, not just ancient ones. Antique shops are all prepared for the rich and powerful, and generally poor scholars are afraid to ask. In "Miscellanies of Fujin", Cheng Jinfang immigrated and sent poems to Yuan Mei. In the poem, there is a sentence that "the potential family rested their horses and commented on rare books, and the cold guest stalls went to the old books", which shows that antique shops have always been frequented by powerful gentry, and ordinary people can only choose some cheap old books in the old bookstall. Since the Republic of China, Liulichang, bookstores, antiques and other industries have long declined, especially during the fall of Beijing, all bookstores were dying, and many shops closed down one after another, just as the saying in the "Old Capital Zhuzhi Ci" that year said: "Reading everywhere swept away the door, Haiwang Village was as quiet as a forest. The idle sea is estimated to be respected by the elder brother, and it is a depression to wait for the price of painting the Song and Yuan Dynasties in the Millennium. Haiwang Village in the word, that is, the bookstore and antique shop in China, north of the west exit of East Liulichang, was called Haiwang Village Park. On the left in front of the garden, there is a photo studio with a portrait of a famous painter hanging in front of the door. Among them, the portrait of Mr. Qi Baishi, wearing a flip fox fur, wearing a black and purple lamb Turkish winter hat and holding a fan. There are several words written by Baishi in the photo: "Shake the fan to cool off the summer, and wear fur to keep out the cold. Both of them must be guarded against every day, so that people can snicker and go crazy." To show the painter's unsociable and honest and frank's affection. This photo is also a scene of Liulichang, and some people always watch it. There were many couplets on Liulichang Cultural Street in those years, which affected the surrounding environment. At the east entrance of Liulichang, there is a couplet in front of a house, which says, "The spring heap factory is shaded by glass, and Yangmei is fragrant all over the street." The household is located at the west entrance of Yangmeizhu Xiejie, so it is quite interesting to have this couplet. In the past, when talking about Liulichang in a broad sense, it was not only the East-West Liulichang, but also the Changdian, Xinhua Street, the Temple of Fire, the Land Temple and so on. For example, "New Year's Zhuzhi Ci" chants "Factory Dian" in the cloud: "Factory Dian opens every year on New Year's Day, and tourists come back. There are many jewels in the temple of fire, and I have bought a few books. " In fact, the "Fire Temple" is located in the north of the East Liulichang Road. Strictly speaking, it is not a "factory shop", but in a broad sense, it is not an exaggeration. The Liulichang I saw when I was a child is already an old and obsolete street. The above is the deepest impression I had seen and heard about Liulichang. At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, Liulichang was the "elegant place to travel in Kyoto". At that time, Han officials mostly lived outside Xuanwu Gate, and many halls were nearby, where officials and examiners often gathered. The annual Donganmen Lantern Festival in the early Qing Dynasty was also moved here. In Du Men Za Yong, there are Zhuzhi poems that sing: "Newly opened factories are worth the Spring Festival, so play well with books and department stores. Qiu Ma is a handsome son, and he is a scholar. " When Qianlong was working on Sikuquanshu, editors often went to Liulichang to read books, and booksellers from all over the world also set up stalls here to sell a large number of books. Convenient conditions have made it a cultural street with a rich collection of people. In this period, in addition to bookstores, antique calligraphy and painting and culture-related industries also developed. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, a normal school and a five-city school were built in Liuli factory. In 1927, the Peace Gate was opened, South Xinhua Street was built, and the factory bridge was demolished. Since then, the Liulichang has been divided into today's East and West Liulichang. In the past hundred years, many cultural relics have flowed out from here for various reasons. It was not until 195 that the people promulgated the law on the protection of cultural relics that the loss of cultural relics was put an end to. In 198, the East-West Liulichang was extensively renovated and some new buildings were added. On the road between the east and west Liulichang streets, an antique white marble stone bridge is erected in the air, which adds a scene to the ancient cultural street. Stepping into the "Daqian Gallery" painting and calligraphy antique shop can not help but remind people of the famous paintings and calligraphy hanging in front of the window in Liulichang in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. At that time, people called it "curtain", also known as window exhibition. At that time, "Rong Baozhai" was the most lively place, and the spectators stood in front of the door, so people called it "Liyou". The works of famous painters such as Zhang Daqian were exhibited in the "Curtain of the Competition", and there was a poem "Zhuzhici" dedicated to this matter: "The Spring Festival rendered the spring curtain of the Competition, and the northern Pu and the southern Zhang were all plain. Rong Baozhai's right to stop before, standing swimming is really sweeter than lying. ". China Bookstore Culture Street's China Bookstore specializes in collecting China ancient books, rubbings, all kinds of old books, newspapers and magazines, selling newly printed ancient books and various books and picture albums related to research, running Four Treasures of the Study concurrently, and opening various book exhibitions such as Jingwei Bookstore and Beijing Folk Museum. When you enter the main entrance of China Bookstore, you will see the following couplets written on the north and south wooden pillars: "State the social and cultural situation, Show the appreciation of national collections ","Chinese and foreign classics, albums, paintings and calligraphy are dabbled in by people, and the old and the new are compatible for sale, and the family plays with them ","Literatures and pictures of the subset of classics and history attract celebrities' fine products, and the ancient, broad, elegant and rich are for the sages to explore "and" list the Chinese classics and culture in Zhai, and gather the long history of mankind in the hall ". These four antithetical couplets all express the business operated by China Bookstore and the enthusiastic service attitude for readers. China Bookstore, Rong Baozhai, was founded with the meaning of "making friends with literature, making fame treasure" after a century of vicissitudes of life in Rong Baozhai. It has experienced great changes for more than 3 years after the new records of Matsuzaka, Rong Baozhai and Rong Baozhai. With the aim of carrying forward the excellent traditional culture of the Chinese nation, the golden signboard of "Rong Baozhai" always shines with moist glory and becomes an important brand of national enterprises. In October 195, a public-private partnership, "Rong Baozhai's New Story" was opened. Over the past 6 years, after several generations of hard work, Rong Baozhai has become a position for the prosperity and development of China's traditional culture; An important window to the world; A bridge between people and art. Looking back on history for 3 years, the predecessor of Rong Baozhai, Songzhuzhai, was founded in 1672 and renamed Rong Baozhai in 1894, with a history of more than 3 years. In 195, a public-private partnership, "Rong Baozhai New Story" was established. In 1952, Rong Baozhai was transformed into a state-owned enterprise, and the words "Rong Baozhai" in Guo Moruo's book were taken as the standard. Over the past 6 years, especially after the reform and opening up, Rong Baozhai has gradually transformed into a comprehensive cultural enterprise integrating calligraphy and painting management, stationery, woodblock watermarking, binding and mounting, collection, publishing, exhibition, auction, pawn, education, training and printing. Although Rong Baozhai has gone through a hundred years of ups and downs and personnel changes, the three-character gold plaque still shines with moist glory and has become a brand of national enterprises and a well-known trademark in the market. The reason is that the word "Rong Baozhai" is the source of strength for gathering popularity and inspiring spirit. Over the years, Rong Baozhai has United a team of experts and technical talents who are interested in traditional culture and art. They are conscientious for Rong Baozhai. The giants of Confucianism and Danqing traveled to and from Rong Baozhai and left many stories, which made this art hall shine. New and old customers agree with Rong Baozhai, which is due to the consistent integrity management of the old store. Therefore, the brand of "Rong Baozhai" has experienced the baptism of time, becoming more and more shiny and heavy. For employees in Rong Baozhai, the painstaking management and cherish of the brand is their sincere dedication to the enterprise. Four Treasures of the Study is sold in Four Treasures of the Study East and West Liulichang. Pen shops are famous for their names, such as "Li Fushou", "Wu Wenkui" and "Li Yutian", among which "Dai Yuexuan" is even more famous, which is said to be the authentic Hu pen. "Li Fushou" and others are also unique. Li Fushou is famous for developing brushes suitable for painters of all schools, while Wu Wenkui is famous for writing pens ... "Qingmi Pavilion" is the oldest and largest Nanzhi shop in Liulichang, and Four Treasures of the Study has everything. "Yidege" Ink Factory was founded in Tongzhi period of Qing Dynasty, with a history of more than 1 years. According to legend, the founder of the factory, named Xie Songdai, is a scholar. Because I failed to take the exam in Beijing, I thought of the laborious scene of studying ink in the examination room, and I thought about whether I could use ready-made ink to avoid the pain of studying ink. Therefore, he developed an ink and opened a shop specializing in ink in Liulichang, which was very popular with customers and had a prosperous business. So he wrote a couplet: "One art is enough for the world; Defaduo has been written by ancient people. " The name of the "Yidege" store took the first words "One" and "De" of the upper and lower couplet. Because the shop is a two-story building, which means "pavilion", it has the name of "Yidege", and the owner also hangs a plaque in front of the door himself. Because "Yidege" ink has the characteristics of fluent writing, bright ink, easy drying and mounting, water and sunlight resistance, no fading, no paper printing and so on, it is a good product in Four Treasures of the Study and is welcomed by painters and painters. Four Treasures of the Study calligraphy and painting shop "sets the ancient name Zhai antique Lu, and the ancient fragrance and antique color are blurred;" When you are idle, you will visit the Liulichang, and you will be bustling and bustling.

In front of many stationery and antique shops, most of them write couplets according to their own business contents, which is also a major landscape of Liulichang Cultural Street-the door couplet of the jewelry store "Bao Cuitang" is: "Zhu Yu Teng Hui glazed, born.
