Suzhou Myna Property

Shanghai is a water town in the south of the Yangtze River, with many rivers and tributaries in history. So many places in Shanghai are inextricably linked with water. The place name habit in Shanghai is that when the river turns sharply, the protruding part of the land is like an animal's mouth, which is called "mouth", which is better than Lujiazui in Pudong and Zhoujiazui under poplar trees in Puxi. The protruding part is small in area and sharp in shape, much like the horn of an animal, so it will be called "horn"; The sunken place will be called "bay", but "three-point water" is added next to the word "bend" to indicate the bend of the river. There is an old saying that "there are eighteen bays in Longhua, and there are many bays in the bay". When Huangpu River flows through Longhua, it twists and turns, forming many bays, and Longhua Temple Tower is the tallest building here. You can see the Buddha's light shining at any bay mouth. This proverb is similar to the western proverb "All roads lead to Rome".

Suzhou River flows into Beixinjing and reaches Changshou Road and Bridge, which twists and turns. Roughly speaking, there are about 18 bays. Taking a yacht to visit Suzhou Creek can let people know about Shanghai's history, culture and great changes since the reform and opening up. This paper tells some interesting stories in the history of "Putuo 18 Bay".

1. The private garden in Wujiazhai Bay is full of books.

The banks of Suzhou River near Kaixuan Road belong to Changning District and Putuo District. After entering East China University of Political Science and Law, you can walk north to Suzhou River, which is a sharp "corner" called "Wujiazhai Corner" in history, and to the east of the corner is a "bay", formerly known as "Wujiazhai Bay".

Today, the old name "Wujiazhai" around Zhongshan Park is a natural village named after the concentrated residence of Wu people. According to records, shortly after the opening of Shanghai, Hogg, the boss of the British businessman Zhaofeng Foreign Firm, bought nearly 1,000 mu of land in Wujiazhai and planned to build a plantation here. However, due to the treaty signed between China and foreign countries, expatriates are not allowed to carry out business projects outside the concession, so this land has been vacant. 1879, the Episcopal Church of America bought the site near Suzhou Creek at the northern end of Wujiazhai from Hogg for 6,500 taels of silver, and moved the Baird Church and Du 'an Church of Hongkou Episcopal Church to the new site to establish St. John's College, the predecessor of St. John's University, which enriched the collection of Suzhou Creek. 19 14, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology bought another piece of land in Hogg and built Zhaofeng Park, which is now Zhongshan Park. Today, there are many alleys, villas and buildings called Zhaofeng near Zhongshan Park, but the old name of Zhaofeng has been used. However, many people don't know the origin of the name Zhaofeng.

Historically, there was a famous Xiaowan Liutang in Wujiazhai Bay, which was owned by Lian Quan and his wife Wu Zhiying, and was honored as "Yingjie" in modern history. Lian Quan (1863- 1932) is a native of Wuxi. According to records, Lian Xixian's second ancestor, Lian Xixian, was the right prime minister of the Yuan Dynasty and named him King Hengyang. He has a garden in the capital called Wanliutang, where painters and painters of the Yuan Dynasty are guests and write poems:

A few acres of ponds in Wanliu tang qian are full of clouds and ripples.

The master has his own interest in Cangzhou, and the wandering girl still sings snow words.

Bring lotus flowers to persuade guests and follow the grass to find poems.

Who knows, just outside the capital, there is infinite Wan Li thought.

Lian Quan was a juren in the 26th year of Guangxu in Qing Dynasty (1895). He was a doctor of official ceremony and had a close relationship with Sun Yat-sen. Later, he resigned and returned to his hometown. Established Jishi School (now Lianyuan Street Primary School) and Jingzhi Girls' School (now Wuxi No.12 Middle School) in Wuxi, and established Civilization Bookstore in Shanghai. The wife is the niece of one of the "Zeng Sizi". During her stay in Beijing, she met Qiu Jin and gave full support and help to Qiu Jin to study in Japan. After Qiu Jin 1907 was killed in Shaoxing, no one dared to accept her body. With her husband's help, Wu Zhiying collected Qiu Jin's body and built a tomb named "Woman" for Qiu Jin in Hangzhou.

Xiao Wan Liu Tang obviously applied the name of its ancestor Wan Liu Tang. It is recorded in Fahuazhi of the Republic of China: "Xiaowan Liutang is located on the south bank of Wusong River (Suzhou River) in Jiuguoyuan, where Lian Quan and his wife Wu Zhiying live in seclusion, and there are various places of interest in the sailing studio. Lian and Wu are famous for their poems, books and paintings, and there are many ancient posts and paintings. Tourists at home and abroad are chanting titles, which is almost impossible. " It seems that this small Wanliutang is also a "salon" for Chinese and foreign cultural people in Shanghai. 1933 After Wu Zhiying's death, Xiao Wan Liu Tang declined. The author visited the former site of Xiaowan Liutang in 1970s, and now it has become a lime pile along Suzhou Creek. The former site is located in Suzhou River, which is an extension of Huayang Road to the north.

Jiuguoyuan is located on the north bank of Suzhou River, facing Xiaowan Liutang across the river. This is the private garden of Wu, a member of the Wu family. It is said that it is named after nine precious fruit trees planted in the garden. According to records, Wu also specially obtained Ying Guang Tang Tie written by Mi Fei and Jia Xin Tie written by Wu from Xu Guangqi's descendants, which were reprinted and embedded in indoor walls. I wonder where these things are now.

Second, Zhujiawan from Civilian Village to Zhenping Road

Today, the north side of Jiangning Luqiao is called "Zhujiawan". 1895 "treaty of shimonoseki" between China and Japan allows Japanese to invest and set up factories in China's trading ports, and any country with "Most Favoured Nation Treaty" with China obtains this right at the same time. As a result, many Japanese "inside and outside cotton" factories were set up along the Suzhou Creek, and the appearance of foreign-funded enterprises also promoted the development of China's national capital. Large and medium-sized enterprises such as Fufeng, Fuxin Flour Factory, Judas Oil Factory, Shen Xin Cotton Mill, Central Mint Factory and Dalong Machine Factory have appeared in the west bank of Zhujiawan, with nearly 654.38 million employees. In this way, Zhujiawan area has formed a gathering point for residents. In the 1920s, a small town named Zhujiawan was formed at the junction of Guangjin New Road Bridge, hence the name of Zhujiawan Street, the old name of Guangjin New Road.

1928, the newly established Shanghai Special Municipal Government passed a bill to improve workers' housing, and established the "Preparatory Committee for Civilian Housing". The government raised funds to build a number of low-grade houses, which were sold or rented to employees at low prices or low prices. Therefore, there are many residential areas called "civilian villages" in Shanghai, such as Dapuqiao civilian village, Qi Mei Road civilian village (now Happy Village in siping road), Pushan Road civilian village, Damuqiao civilian village (later renamed as "civilian village") and Zhongshan Road civilian village built on Pinglu Road in Zhujiawan Town.

Zhongshan Road Civilian Village covers an area of 35,000 square meters. It is located in the north of Zhongshan North Road and west of Guangxin Road, which is equivalent to today's "Autumn Moon Maple House" residential area. Phase I completed 1936, 57 rows, 330 units. Houses are made of brick and wood, with a bungalow facing south in the front row and a two-story pavilion next to it. However, before the civilian villages were fully put into use, War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression broke out and the civilian villages became the barracks and stables of the Japanese army. 1945 after War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression's victory, the civilian village was taken back by the Kuomintang Shanghai municipal government in name, but in fact it has been occupied by workers and refugees from nearby factories, and this civilian village has become a densely populated "slum".

In 1980s, Putuo District People's Government began to rebuild civilian villages and their surrounding areas in a planned way. 1987, 8/kloc-0 households in the original Pingmin village were demolished, and then roads were built, which was named "Zhenping Road", which, as the name implies, meant to eliminate civilian villages and poverty. However, "calming the town" can easily be misunderstood as "suppressing civilians (villages)".

After the 1990s, Shatian Property, a well-known real estate company in Shanghai, won the right to build a plot of "civilian village", and the residential area of "Autumn Moon and Maple House" was built in two phases. Line 3, Line 4 and Line 7, which will be opened soon, all set up stations on Zhenping Road. Now Zhenping Road is a residential area with convenient transportation and beautiful environment. The place name "Zhujiawan" is gradually fading out of people's memory. Perhaps, the implementation of the "Putuo 18 Bay" plan will activate Zhujiawan.

Tanziwan, the oldest place name in Shanghai.

Jiangning Road and Bridge faces east, and the north side of Changhua Road and Bridge is Panjiawan and Tanziwan respectively. There are records of "jar" and "jar bay" in the portrait of Qianlong. According to legend, the "jar" is the grandson of Yu Tan (Ao En), a famous Eastern Jin Dynasty, a native of Yuyao in Huiji, and a famous person from the Three Kingdoms. After Emperor Jincheng ascended the throne (326 years), he became the magistrate and wrote a letter, turning to the history of Wu in China. At that time, the world was in chaos and the people were hungry and cold, so he opened a warehouse for relief; Wudoumi Road, which occupied Zhejiang, set out from the sea and attacked Suzhou along Wusong River. He "built a profane base in Shanghai to prevent the sea from being copied and the people from being held accountable". He is also known as the "jar". Hudu base is a military fortress built at the mouth of Wusong River in the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and it is also the earliest recorded ancient battlefield site in Shanghai. At the end of Song Dynasty and the beginning of Yuan Dynasty, it was washed away by the river. According to the data, the former site should be Yanchang West Road, Guangjin New Road. Eight or nine years ago, archaeologists in Shanghai discovered the ancient "sluice" site 8 meters underground in Guangxin Road and Zhidan Road, which was listed as one of the "Top Ten Archaeological Achievements" in China. Today, "Tanziwan" is only 1 km away from Zhidan Road Sluice. Perhaps the names of "Tanziwan" and "Yutan" and the "Hudu Base" he built are not "legends" but "historical facts". Similarly, Shanghai, referred to as "Shanghai" for short, is not named after "Shanghai" for fishing, but directly named after "Shanghai Capital Base".

Today, Panjiawan and Tanziwan have been invested and built by COSCO Group as concentrated residential areas in the city center-"COSCO Two Bay Cities". Thanks to cosco, the name of "two bays" is still retained. In the last century, Zhujiawan, Panjiawan, Tanziwan and Yaoshuinong were collectively called "three bays and one lane", which was synonymous with shanty towns in Shanghai. During the construction of COSCO's two bay cities, they were worried that the appearance of the two place names "Panjiawan" and "Tanziwan" would affect the sales of real estate, so they merged the original "Panjiawan Road" and "Tanziwan Road" and renamed it "Qingshuiwan Road". "Tanziwan" is a historical place name. Maybe people will want to restore its name.

Fourth, the fork bag corner is occupied by two major flour mills.

Suzhou River flows only a few hundred meters through Changhua Road and Bridge, and suddenly it takes a 120 degree turn to the south, forming an acute triangle in the south of Bangnan, which is called "fork angle".

"fork bag" is actually a big bag made of hemp. From the Yuan Dynasty, when Huang Daopo taught textile technology and improved textile tools in Shanghai, until the 1960s, cotton was the most important cash crop in Shanghai, and a big bag was needed for picking, packaging and transporting cotton. For example, Qin Rongguang's "Shanghai Zhuzhi Ci" said:

On the evening of the third day of July, it was fine, and Pubao won with a price of 100 thousand.

I'm afraid to look at the moon, and the autumn harvest in cotton fields will be reduced to.

Shanghai agricultural proverb: "It is cloudy on the third day of July, and it is 100,000 Jin and 90,000 Chen." The ancients thought that the sunny day on the third day of July indicates that cotton will yield a lot this year, and a large number of cattails will sell well. A sack full of cotton is made of hemp, which is similar in size to today's sacks, but there are "earrings" on the mouth of the bag, just like the "vest bag" used now. After the cotton is filled, make a circle. Even if the bag is sealed, the circle on the bag is equivalent to the circle on the trousers.

After modern times, the "fork pocket angle" was occupied by the first machine flour mill in China-Fufeng Flour Mill and Rongshi Fuxing Flour Mill. After liberation, the two flour mills were renamed as "Fufeng and Fuxin Flour Mills", which later became Shanghai Flour Mills. The old buildings here have been included in the "old industrial heritage site" and a "creative park" has been established here. Maybe, here it is.
