#Museum Guide#Shijia Hutong Museum 01 mentioned the old Beijing Hutong, often thinking of Nanluoguxiang, Yandai Xie Street, Maoer Hutong, Guozijian Street, Liulichang, Golden Fish Hutong, Dongjiaomin Lane, Xijiaomin Lane, Juer Hutong, and the famous eight alleys in Dashilan (Actually eight hutongs), above is a version of the ten hutongs in old Beijing, although there is no Shijia Hutong in the list, but only Shijia Hutong has its own museum, and he also has a domineering description of "a Shijia Hutong, half of the history of the Republic of China". Entering the museum first from the "hutong" chat, we all know that "hutong" in Mongolian means "well", and more importantly, "hutong" is the basic unit of urban planning. North Wei city planning to "fang" as a unit, Wei and Jin period Luoyang City set up 220 square meters, Sui and Tang period Chang'an City divided into 108 squares, the square is surrounded by high walls, small squares set two doors, Dafang set four doors, but "hutong" is open, Yuan Dadu (1267) is Kublai reference The first imperial capital in China to create an open grid network of alleys and alleys from the flat ground was built in Zhou Likao Gongji, more than 500 years earlier than the western grid network city layout of Manhattan neighborhoods (1811). In addition, the standard Hutong of Yuandadu is 700 meters long and 70 meters between north and south, and the Manhattan block is 244 meters long and 61 meters between south and south. When the construction of Yuandadu, time interchange belongs to Qihuamen (now Chaoyangmen) Sichengfang, the inner city of Beijing in the Qing Dynasty is the residence of the eight flags, and Shijia Hutong is affiliated with the white flag. Why is it called Shijia Hutong when returning to the museum? It is common to say that there is a historical hall in the hutong (now Shijia Hutong Elementary School). But as early as the Ming Jiajing years of "Beijing Shi Wucheng Fangxiang Hutong Collection" in the "Shijia Hutong" is obvious, and Shi Kefa is a national hero who resisted Qing Dynasty at the end of the Ming Dynasty, unless the Shijia is a large family that has not been in decline for a hundred years, it is possible to take the place name of the homes of the ancestors of Shi Kefa. Otherwise, it is likely to originate from another household name, Shi. What big things happened in this alley? What celebrities have lived in it? And listen to the next breakdown.
