Jinan is just south of the water. I remember that the writer Lao She described Jinan in detail several times: "Suppose you have a medieval old city in your fantasy, a sleeping tower, a narrow ancient stone road, a generous stone wall, and a clear stream flowing around the city, reflecting the mountain shadows, and a little girl with red robes and green pants squatting on the shore. If your fantasy is such a realm, it is a Jinan. "

Jinan is undoubtedly a city with profound cultural heritage, but with the rapid development of the city and the integration of modern elements into this ancient city, there are fewer and fewer original old streets and lanes, and Jinan seems to have gradually lost its own "characteristics". However, the reconstruction of the generous lane has added a quaint and elegant place for the old Jinan people, and the antique generous lane has put the nostalgic complex of the old Jinan people in place.

Walking in the lively and generous rooms, the retro and elegant buildings, such as woven locals and foreign visitors, are dazzling with the guise of Huang Cancan hanging in front of rows of shops. In a trance, the long-lost street flooded into memories again. Kuankuanli was built in the former Jiefangge area, on the street of Kuankuansuo, an old street in Jinan.

the name kuankuanli comes from kuankuansuo street on the original site, which starts from the south of Lishan Peak Street in the east and ends at the old street of Shunjing Street in the west. Before the early 195s, the north bank of the south moat used to be a tall city wall, and there were two streets parallel to the city wall on the north side of the wall. The east of the south gate was called Nanma Road, which used to be a path for riding horses to climb the tower. The section to the west is called Nanchenggen Street. In the early 195s, the city wall was demolished, and these two streets became part of the ring road (Black Tiger Spring West Road).

where did the name of kuankuansuo street come from?

according to legend, in the early years of Qing dynasty, Kuanli was originally a place where dignitaries lived together. Because it was very popular at that time to expand the house to show its style, there were two famous families living across the hall, constantly expanding the courtyard to the road, and both wanted to enclose the limited street into their own yard. One of them also wrote to his relatives who were officials in Beijing for help. The wise Beijing official wrote back: "The two families are fighting as a wall, so why not let him be five feet?" Living in the neighborhood is not forgotten, and generosity leads to parents. " Seeing that the letter was to the point, the family took the initiative to retreat the courtyard wall by five feet. Moved by this, the family retreated five feet, widening the street. Subsequently, households in the street followed suit, which not only resolved the dispute, but also became a street name. Later generations took the street name with this legend. Of course, the legends are all beautiful, but it is another way of saying that there used to be a charity called "Kuansuo" in the south of Shoulu Road in West Street, hence the name Kuansuo Street.

The appearance of Kuanhuli stems from the respect and protection of ancient streets and ancient buildings in Jinan. How many old streets and alleys have lost their looks in the passage of time, but Kuanhouli is committed to protecting the architectural pattern of old Jinan and continuing the customs of old Jinan. Kuangli was established to better protect ancient buildings. As provincial-level cultural relics protection units, Jinjia Courtyard and Zhejiang-Fujian Guild Hall were completely preserved. Kuangli gave them a place to settle down and let them watch the people coming and going in this city as before.

The old Jinan people who once lived in this area will smile when they recall that year. After the opening of Kuanli, the old people have also visited it. "Generosity is very beautiful and lively. The street of Generosity in those days can only remain in our hearts. Seeing the freshness and generosity of another taste now, the old Jinan in our hearts is also alive."

Generosity-the youthful prosperity in dim lights

Chengdu has Kuanzhai Lane, Shanghai has Xintiandi, Beijing has Nanluoguxiang, and Nanjing has Confucius Temple ... In the past, when people mentioned Jinan, most of them thought of spring water, Qianfo Mountain and Daming Lake, but the retro commercial brands that can meet the shopping needs of tourists were almost blank, which inevitably made people feel sorry. Now, this ancient street, Kuanhouli, which has been prosperous for 4 years, has given us a new city label, giving tourists and local old Jinan a good place to upgrade their style.

When tourists walk in the alley at dusk with the sunset and watching the smoke, a long-lost scene of civic life in the old city emerges in front of them. In the generosity of the gray wall, Daiwa will always imagine before you step in. Her unique charm makes you want to get close. These ancient courtyards and historical scenes are interspersed with modern life, and it is so pleasant to stroll here ~

Of course, walking in the fresh and modern generosity, in addition to looking at antique buildings, you can't live up to the special food hidden in the alley, as well as fashionable bars and classical tea houses with unique charm. Jinan's nightlife is gradually enriched because of the existence of generosity, and the birth of the next "Houhai" is impossible ~

Kuansuo Street has not passed away a hundred years ago, and you can imagine that you have arrived in generosity. The gray wall is covered with tiles, the flag is hanging high, the breeze is blowing, and the words "generous" on the book are swaying in the air, and you will know where you are.
