The history of Tilanqiao

During the Jiaqing period of the Qing Dynasty, local residents built a bridge on the Xiahaipu near the Xiahai Temple, named Tilan Bridge, hence the name. After the First Opium War, it was assigned to the American Concession in Shanghai, and gradually became one of the main markets north of Suzhou Creek because of the Xiahai Temple with the highest incense and the ferry to Pudong. During the period of 1903, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology of Shanghai Public Concession built a large-scale prison of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology in the land between Huade Road (Changyang Road), zhoushan road, Kunming Road and Baoding Road in Tilanqiao area, commonly known as "Tilanqiao Prison". During the Nazi period in Germany, a large number of Jews came to Shanghai to take refuge, and Tilanqiao was one of the main settlements. During the Japanese occupation of Shanghai, Tilanqiao was divided into Jewish settlements, which enabled the area to accommodate as many as 30,000 Jews. At present, there is a Mosaic Hall of Huade Road in Judaism at No.62 Changyang Road in Tilanqiao area.

Tilanqiao was originally one of the main commercial and cultural centers in Hongkou District, but with the gradual abolition of Haizhong Temple, the ferry was suspended and gradually declined. At present, the scope of Tilan Bridge is roughly between Yangshupu Road, Huimin Road, Huangpu River, Dongdaming Road and Huoshan Road. In recent years, Shanghai International Passenger Terminal has been built in this area, and large-scale real estate development has been carried out with the concept of North Bund, and the economic situation has improved. 65438+In 1950s and 1960s, during the construction of the wharf, roads gradually formed near Xujiatan. Broadway Road (now Daming East Road), Dongxihuade Road (now Changzhi East Road) and their intersecting roads have been built one after another. At the same time, a number of bridges such as Waihongqiao (now Daming Road Bridge), Zhonghongqiao (now Changzhi Road Bridge), Li Hongqiao (now Hanyang Road Bridge), Xinhongqiao (now Yuhang East Road) and Beixinhongqiao (now Yalu River Road Bridge) have been rebuilt and constructed one after another. Due to the construction of roads and bridges, the traffic in this area has gradually developed.

China's modern industry began in the 1950s of 19, when American businessmen established Dunapu Shipyard and Weber Shipyard in Xujiatan. After four years of Tongzhi (1865), the British businessman Yesong Shipyard and the state-run Jiangnan Manufacturing General Administration were established one after another, and the national capital-operated Changfa Machine Factory (the first national capital enterprise in China), Wentong Bookstore, Zhang Yun Shirt and Socks Factory (now Jinglun Knitting Factory), Nanyang Brothers Tobacco Company Shanghai Branch, Mabaoshan Candy and Biscuit Company and Huade Light Bulb Factory were established one after another. There are many small machines and hardware factories in the territory, which are concentrated in the northern section of Zhaofeng Road (now Levin Road). Since the 1920s, some Jews and Russians have moved into this area, followed by expatriates from Japan, South Korea and other countries. During World War II, Jewish refugees from Germany, Austria, Poland and other countries lived in Tilanqiao area, with a maximum of 1.7 million, which once made the business in this area prosperous and active. After World War II, they moved away one after another.

After the August 13th Incident, this land became a battlefield. In the battle for Huishan Wharf on August 20th, many houses near the east section of East Broadway west of Huishan Road were destroyed. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, shanty towns appeared in the south of Zhoujiazui Road and Kunming Road.

During the two wars, especially the August 13th Incident, factories and shops suffered heavy losses. After the fall of Shanghai, the territory was under the direct control of the Japanese navy for a long time, residents moved around, factories and shops closed down, or moved into concessions and inland areas, production shrank and the market was depressed.

After War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's victory, industry and commerce once recovered and developed. Guangxin Underwear Dyeing and Weaving Factory and China Standard Pencil Factory (now China Pencil Factory No.1) have successively moved to China, and some smaller mechanical hardware factories have also been established. Soon, the Kuomintang launched a civil war, and industry and commerce declined again.

During the democratic revolution, many revolutionaries lived and lived in China. Song Jiashu, the treasurer of the League, lives in Donghouheng Road (now Yuhang Road), and Sun Yat-sen and Soong Ching Ling also live here. During the Second Revolutionary Civil War, China leader Zhang Wentian lived in a new house on Huade Road. There are underground printing plants on Broadway East Road and Huishan Road, which print books and periodicals such as Red Flag and Good News.
