I want some information about old Shanghai.

Political aspect-the establishment of concession

From 1843, 165438+ 10, 17, Shanghai, England, announced the opening of Shanghai, allowing British businessmen to rent land to live. This became the main basis for foreign powers to set up concessions in China in the future. Originally, there was a strict difference between concession and concession. The former is to lease the whole land to a foreign government for disposal, while the latter is only allowed to be leased to foreign investors. However, the powers stole the administrative, legislative and judicial power of the "mansion" and became a "country within a country", and the mansion became a concession. Foreign consuls have extraterritorial jurisdiction and consular jurisdiction that China can't ask, and in essence they become the highest officials in the concession. However, the powers are still not satisfied with the rights they have obtained, and gradually turn "permanent rent" into "absolute sale". At the same time, the powers continued to nibble and expand through the form of "cross-border road construction". By the beginning of the twentieth century, the two major concessions occupied most of Shanghai today. There are public departments and bureaus in the concession, and all kinds of government agencies are "complete", which basically moved the western management system to Shanghai. They built a complete urban public utility in the concession and set up industry and commerce. This made the concession the main base for its political, economic, military and cultural invasion and infiltration of China.

The following is the performance of their infiltration in all aspects.

1, urban architecture

Before the opening of the port, the buildings in Shanghai were completely traditional buildings in China, and most of them were concentrated in old county towns and suburban towns. 1843 after the opening of Shanghai, various western-style buildings have sprung up on the Bund. The development of modern urban architecture in Shanghai is a transitional period from neoclassicism to modern architecture in the history of western architecture. Therefore, the architectural style of Shanghai is deeply influenced by it.

The architecture on the Bund was not from China at the beginning, nor was it the "classical style" popular in the West at that time, but the "comprador style" popular in the Far East colonies. Holsey, an early Shanghai historical writer, said in "Soldi Beach": This is a square two-story building with no imagination and no art, but there are arcades and big windows on all sides, which adapts to the climate in Southeast Asia and meets the simple survival requirements of early foreign businessmen.

It was not until the 1980s that the buildings on the Bund began to be designed according to the popular styles and the highest standards in Europe and America at that time. Since then, the number of buildings in Shanghai has gradually increased: two floors, five floors, ten floors, seventeen floors ... and more and more magnificent: from European classical style, Renaissance style, mixed Chinese and Western style to Italian Baroque style, imitation Renaissance style, imitation classical style, and then to early modern style (Chicago school in the United States) and modern international architecture. In this way, Shanghai has become the "World Architecture Expo"

In the urban construction and development of Shanghai, there is a very distinctive architectural type, that is, luxury garden residence. This kind of architecture, from the early simple villa to the later modernist architecture, embodies the architecture of modern Shanghai. The following are the architectural styles of various periods and the main buildings on the Bund at that time.

The architectural style is characterized by the existing representative buildings.

Comprador-style square two-story building, mainly made of brick and wood, was originally Sheng Xuanhuai Mansion on Huaihai Middle Road.

Imitation of classical style, British and French classical brick and wood structure, No.79 Fenyang Road, former French director's residence.

The country villa adopts the exposed wood frame type, the original Hongqiao Road Sassoon Villa, and the herringbone roof.

Spanish-style open corridors and balconies facing south are suitable for Shanghai's climate, and the cost is low, at No.5 Shaoxing Road and No.389 Yongjia Road.

Nordic-Norwegian style, with concave-convex shape, high spire on the roof, yellow-green glazed tiles in China on the wall, slightly combining Chinese and western styles, and the original appearance of Mahler's former residence on Shaanxi South Road.

Three-dimensional appearance, free layout, three-dimensional effect, No.333 Tongren Road

Modernist design tries to make architecture flexible and dynamic. No.200 Huaiyin Road, formerly Yao Jia Garden.

1, financial aspects

In the 80 years since opening to the outside world, from establishment to development to prosperity, and in the 1920s and 1930s, Shanghai's financial market has been complete, including not only interbank lending market and discount market, but also capitalist securities market and foreign exchange market at home and abroad.
