The Origin of the Name of Zhuzhou Road in Shanghai

Shanghai Road's names are mostly named after large and medium-sized cities in China. Except for the city center, which is named after the provincial administrative region, other roads are mostly selected according to their location.

For example, the northeast of Yangpu District uses the names of three northeastern provinces, Putuo District uses the names of Shaanxi and Gansu, and Changning uses the names of Guizhou.

Zhuzhou Road is located in Hongkou District.

The following is for reference:

The origin of Shanghai Road

The naming of street names in Shanghai.

At the beginning of the British Concession, road names were chosen at will. In 1862, the Anglo-American Concession was merged into the Commonwealth Concession, and there were different opinions on the road names in the concession. Finally, the two sides compromised and decided to name the north-south and east-west roads with the name of China province and the city respectively. On May 5, 1862, British Consul Maihuatuo issued the Memorandum on the Naming of Roads in Shanghai, which laid down the principle that all north-south streets are named after provinces and east-west streets are named after cities. The first batch named 19 roads. In order to commemorate the great benefits brought to them by treaty of nanking, the executives of the concession named Pike Lane Nanjing Road, while the original Consulate Road was named Beijing Road, the capital of China.

However, Shanghainese once rejected these road names set by foreigners, and called Nanjing Road Main Road, while Jiujiang Road, hankou road Road, Fuzhou Road and Guangdong Road were called No.2, No.3, No.4 and No.5 Road in turn, and later called the shorter Beihai Road Liuma Road. It was not until after 1949 that the above-mentioned road names set by foreigners were uniformly accepted.

there is one exception. Guangdong road is east-west, but it has a provincial name. Because the names were originally in English, this road was changed to "CantanRoad", which can be understood as both "Guangdong Road" and "Guangzhou Road" in early Chinese-foreign exchanges. Originally named as "Guangzhou Road", China people translated it into "Guangdong Road".

second, the product of the revolution of 1911.

Shanghai was an important area of the Revolution of 1911, and its municipal construction was also deeply influenced by it. When roads were built in 1912, they were named Hanzhong Road, Manchuria Road (now Jinyuan Road), Mongolia Road, Xinjiang Road and Tibet Road. The Chinese nation is a country where the five major ethnic groups of Han, Manchu, Mongolia, and Tibet are in harmony. The original "President Road" was changed to "Harmony Road", the section of Nanchuan Honglu along Suzhou River was changed to "Guangfu Road", the eastern section was changed to "Guoqing Road" and Xinzhaqiao was changed to "Datong Road".

third, the product of the prosperous period of national capital.

At the beginning of the Republic of China, the national capital in Shanghai developed rapidly and gathered in Zhabei area. In order to express the desire of rejuvenating China and prospering the nation, the newly-built roads were named Zhongxin Road, Yongxing Road, Zhonghua New Road, Hongxing Road, Huasheng Road, Huachang Road, Minli Road and Minde Road.

fourth, the product of the "Greater Shanghai Plan".

At present, the roads around Wujiaochang and Jiangwan in Shanghai are dominated by the words "people" and "country". Because there was a "Great Shanghai Plan" in the period of the Republic of China, five main roads were planned to be built radially around the Wujiaochang as the center in road construction, and branches were connected among the main roads. Where the roads are parallel to Songhu Road and Huangxing Road, the words "people" and "country" are used as the first words of the road names, such as Minqing Road, Minyue Road, Minyi Road, Minzhuang Road, Minfu Road, Guohe Road, Guojing Road and Guoji Road. Anyone who runs parallel to Xiangyin Road should use "Zheng" and "Fu" to take the first word of the road name, such as: Zhengzheng Road, Zhengfa Road, Zhengben Road and Zhengxi Road. Later, due to the Japanese invasion of Shanghai, the "Great Shanghai Plan" stopped, and the road with the prefix "Fu" was not completed.

5. A few adjustments and changes made by the Kuomintang municipal government.

After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, the Kuomintang government used the names of roads such as Fuxing, Jianguo and Zhongzheng. In order to commemorate the heroes of the Republic of China, it also named some roads with the names of Linsen, Qimei and Yingshi.

VI. Changes since the founding of New China, especially since the reform and opening up.

In the early days of the founding of New China, in 195, the government only changed the names of a few roads, and still followed the standard of naming by established place names.

in p>1979, Shanghai established the city, district and county level place name management agencies, and conducted the place name survey and naming work, which made great changes. Mainly with the development of municipal construction, some original roads have been cancelled and some new roads have been added; At the same time, due to the construction of Pudong New Area and other development zones, hundreds of new residential areas have been added, and the number of roads has increased rapidly. These roads are named after names with a new era flavor.

Looking at the naming history of place names in Shanghai, we can see four experiences: 1. Respect the history of the formation and development of the city, and make place names a vivid commemoration of each period; 2. Respect the participation of "foreigners" and not completely deny the place names left by foreigners; 3. Naming by established place names is the main method, and it is not excluded to use some names as place names appropriately; 4. During the reform period, there must be new place names that embody the spirit of reform.

With the continuous development of Shanghai, the urban area is expanding at an alarming rate. The demand for road names is more abundant, and the corresponding rules can only be based on a general principle. This principle is to use domestic place names as road names as far as possible, and the location of the named area in the whole country should be roughly equivalent to the location of this road in Shanghai, without affecting the original main roads. This may be a way to express the harmony of the whole country and the unity of the four seas, and it will also weaken the standard consciousness of Shanghainese. However, when this desire for expression is too strong, the geographical color of place names will also be stripped. East-west roads are named after cities, and north-south roads are named after provinces, so Nanjing Road, Yan 'an Road, Fujian Road and Shandong Road are not necessarily more individual than new york Fifth Avenue or Sixteenth Avenue.

under this guiding ideology, there is an interesting situation of cluster of regional road names in the urban fringe of Shanghai, where the place names of the same province are grouped together on the map. Qinzhou Road and Liuzhou Road appear in the southwest corner (both Guangxi place names), Anshan Road and Shuangyang Road (northeast place names) in the northeast corner, and Huma Road and Hulan Road (Heilongjiang place names) in the north.

In fact, this rule has been used in Shanghai for a long time, but it has been working with the expansion of the urban area. At the same time, the new naming should take into account that it will not affect the original road names, so some areas are very close on the map, but far away in Shanghai, and there are many interesting situations such as northeast clusters. The most typical ones are Chifeng Road and Duolun Road in Hongkou District, which are in the northeast corner of Shanghai. Now they are basically called "Shanghai Road" or "Lianyungang Road", which is very interesting.

Based on this, some Anhui busybodies asked the Shanghai Library: Why is there no Anhui Road in Shanghai? It's eloquent.

This question is somewhat embarrassing for the comrades in Shanghai Library. My subjective guess is that there has never been a road that needs to be named where it is possible to name "Anhui Road". It is more difficult to know why there is no "Anhui Road" than why there is a road called "Anhui Road".

In fact, the name is always arbitrary. No road is born with a certain name, and Anhui is not the only province that is used to name the road.

The area around Lujiazui (where Lu Xun, a general of Dongwu, was originally born when Lujiazui was said to be the Three Kingdoms) benefited the most from the development of Pudong. Some unknown and underdeveloped Shandong place names have become frequently used words in Shanghai, such as Boshan and Rushan.

The development after 199s suddenly made people discover that road names can be an intangible wealth. The person in charge of the Shanghai Geographical Names Office said that there was no Ningxia Road in Shanghai, and Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region took the initiative to apply for naming, so famous brand enterprises and featured products such as Guangxia Group and Lycium barbarum in Ningxia naturally entered Ningxia Road, opening a breakthrough for the Shanghai market.

at the request of kaiyuan city, Yunnan province, there is kaiyuan road again. A person from the Municipal Geographical Names Office said that a brand-new naming method for road names is now being implemented. Some road names began to wear dazzling colors of the times: such as century avenue and Wuzhou Avenue; In Zhangjiang Hi-tech Park, a number of memorial roads for scientists such as Li Shizhen Road and Newton Road have appeared, which seems to indicate the high-tech content of this area.

The road name is silent, but it is almost a display card of the evolution of our political and social life. And any attempt to exhaust the meaning of place names will inevitably become beautiful stupidity. Place names mark the stations of individual life or urban life. No matter whether we have stayed or whizzed past, we have all entered its coral reef-like entanglement.

the law of road names in Pudong, Shanghai

I bought a new version of Shanghai map at noon today, studied it carefully, and found that the place names in Shanghai, like the place names of every city, can represent the characteristics of a place. Especially the place names in Pudong New Area, it is obvious that there are rules to follow, and the naming rules of each place also represent the characteristics of this place.

Biyun International Community

I like Biyun Community in the southwest corner of Luoshan Road, Yanggao Road. The name of the road is like an oil painting:

Three paths in the east-west direction:

Blue-Sky-Road

Blue-Cloud-Road

Ming-Moon-Road

.

Fute New Village in Waigaoqiao

Fute New Village is not conspicuous in the northeast corner of Shanghai.

there are four roads in the east-west direction:

spring-sunshine-road

summer-garden-road

autumn-summer-road

winter-melting-road

in the north-south direction, a road with the same cross-batch shape runs through the four roads.

Zhangjiang Hi-Tech Park

As for Zhangjiang, it is obviously not as poetic as those areas where people live mainly. All of them are named after scientists:

Lulu Road

East-west direction is named after ancient scientists in China:

Li-Shi-Zhen-Lu

Guo- Software, microelectronics, pharmacy, biology and other industries have settled here. One of the actions that impressed me most in Zhangjiang was that when I was still studying at Jiaotong University, two bus lines were opened on the same day: the fifth line of Bridge led to the gate of Fudan University, and the sixth line of Bridge led to the gate of Jiaotong University. . .

Jinqiao Export Processing Zone

To the east of Biyun Community and Jinqiao Road is Jinqiao Processing Zone where manufacturing enterprises gather. There are too many roads here. As a result, a simple method is used. The north-south road is called "Golden X Road" and the east-west road is called "X Bridge Road". X is the abbreviation of a province in China. For example:

gold, gold, gold, gold, gold, gold, gold, gold, gold, gold, gold, gold, gold, gold, gold, gold, gold, gold, gold, gold, gold, gold, gold, gold, gold, gold, gold, gold, gold, gold, gold, gold, gold, gold, gold, gold, gold, gold, gold, gold, gold, gold, > Qin-bridge-road

Sichuan- Moreover, the general distribution is similar to that on the map of China.

Waigaoqiao Free Trade Zone

If other new areas are mainly residential and industrial, the number of roads is not much. For a large port like Waigaoqiao, there are obviously many roads built horizontally and vertically at the same time. For example, there may be twenty or thirty roads in the port area that are the same as the grid, and there is no name yet. Because in the port area, it is estimated that everyone will directly mark the location with the name of the container berth, and no name is needed. If you really want to name it, it is estimated that it will also be in the form of A1, A2, B1, B2 and B2. The road outside the port area must be named anyway, so that people outside the port area can find the direction. So, it was named after the country, the city and the city.

Lulu Road

If you teach primary school students to learn world geography and hold this small map, you can recite it by heart. Trucks full of containers are constantly flowing on the road named after the world place names, transporting the goods to Waigaoqiao Port Area and preparing to sail into the Pacific Ocean from the Yangtze River estuary. . .

-----------. Add one thing:

Huamu area is named after flowers:

Mudan Road, Meihua Road, Yinghua Road

Yulan Road, Haitong Road

Youxin Village is named after the word "Yan":

Yanyang Road

Yan Feng Road

Yanzhen Road

Yanmin Road

Before the development of Pudong, So many road names are named after cities in Shandong:

Lancun Road Wendeng Road (now Dongfang Road) Jiyang Road Laoshan Road Rushan Road Fushan Road Eshan Road Weifang Road Qixia Road Jimo Road Changyi Road Juye Road Yushan Road Gushan Road Linyi Road Yinan Road Jiaonan Road Lanling Road Nanquan Road Chengshan Road Dezhou Road Dongming Road Qihe Road and so on.
