Old Beijing   by Bob1979326

Old Beijing early winter vegetables stored there when the old pumpkin, melon, because they are thick-skinned, easy to preservation, but also easy to store, most of them can spring into the second year, and eat too much, so the average family must be kept on ten to eight. There is also the potatoes. In contrast, potatoes than the Chinese cabbage, radish, pumpkin anything, even more delicious some, such as real estate, Inner Mongolia and Shandong best to eat potatoes, but also easy storage. Some people still fall careful to buy some beans and dried to wear, hanging in the window under the eaves, and eat what, when soaked with water and immediately have a fragrance smell, be fresh and winter dishes. There is also a storage onion. The average family to save a few pounds of green onions, one large allocation of time to sell cheap children listed, the second is easy to store, the three are eating convenience. The most famous green onions produced in Shandong, light blue long, Aoba short, very affordable.

In the past, storage of old Beijingers had preserved vegetables each and every household, it entered the courtyard to see the stacked under the eaves, and piled on the table to help hang on the walls, and mostly cabbage, pumpkin and green onions and old, into the unique a scene. Now, with the continuous improvement of living conditions, market fresh vegetables all year round, Beijing basically been preserved vegetables to store the custom. But every winter season, I will remember every family that stored cabbage alley scene.Business of the old China is waiting for the rickshaw pullers in Lao She, "Camel" described in the life of old Beijing rickshaw. Half of the 20th century in China, the middle class is the preferred travel rickshaw. Rickshaw, also known as the rickshaw, is a wheeled passenger with human procrastination tool. From Japan, introduced in the seventies of the nineteenth century, it is also called Oriental car, rickshaw. At first, the double sit with women and men sit together, and in 1879, the Qing government immoral because they believe men and women sitting in the same, while cars Fraser double car quite difficult, thus prohibiting double sitting in the same.

Rickshaw simple structure, easy to manufacture, low cost, and the sedan and wagon at the time, compared with a lightweight, fast, inexpensive features, after put into operation, by both business and residents, "employed by those at all." Early Republican era, the rickshaw has been popular in Beijing, Tianjin, Shanghai, Chinese and other cities. 1931 "declare" There is a statistics, Shanghai has a rickshaw 24300. To before the war, the development of Shanghai's rickshaw to 8 million, while the country's "Rickshaw Boy" is estimated at 100 million people. 1919 "May Fourth" movement, some young people who call do not take a rickshaw, as advocated by their "new life" one of the elements, some of whom had been "in the first day in Shanghai vowed not to sit on the rickshaw, on behalf of the walking . " 1945 winter, the KMT government with the Executive Yuan instructed the Ministry of Communications intends to repeal the rickshaw planning, in January 1946 instructions to disable the country rickshaw, limit three years to complete. Shanghai preparing for the implementation of this order was when the rickshaw workers caused by the public and strong opposition. Petition group composed of car dealers in Nanjing Association, called on the government to rescind the order. October 1946, the Kuomintang authorities were forced to work, allowing the back seat of a rickshaw tricycle converted into a single person to continue the operation. After the founding of New China in 1949, with the rise of tricycles, rickshaws gradually be eliminated. March 1, 1955, the Shanghai Museum, the last one was sent to the rickshaw. In recent years, as a special tourism services, and small quantities of new rickshaw appeared in the sights in some cities.

Affectionate Remembrance of "Wonderful"
October 28, a famous writer Mr. Xiao Fuxing scholarly publishers in the Beijing Office, is to attend talks in Beijing edition of Popular Culture Group of the audience made a presentation entitled "Remembrance of Wonderful" lectures. Seminars on-site, Mr. Shaw deeply about the creative new book, "South Blues" in mind. He grew up in the South grew up with a hard to break away with the South, lingering emotions, face of the present city of alteration, demolition Street, south of the memory of the prosperity of business culture has become increasingly blurred, to persist that copies of memory, through two years of fieldwork and historical research, he wrote the south of the old Beijing culture through the ages. Meanwhile, Mr. Shaw on how to protect the South, how can Beijing urban form put forward many constructive suggestions.I grew up outside the front door grinding plants grow along this street until the twenty-first-year-old to jump the queue to leave the Great Northern Wilderness. Can say that I spent here in the front door of my childhood, youth, youth best of times and is the most profound days of my memory. Front door is not only my emotional memory, the memory of the survival and the survival of my background lies. About three years ago, and I am going to write a novel about this place, specifically a trip back to the grinding plant, rolled his way to a nearby. The transfer my shocking reality of many previous memories have face painting, none of the old courtyard seen many of the original shops have removed the old light. Polishing factory is a Ming Dynasty Street, a total of three in three long, and now has been cut more than a third gone, East polishing factory almost demolished the light, was occupied by the new commercial buildings and roads. Since then, I want to write such a book. Although the alley where the old and then broke again, I was in this alley, after all, under the influence of culture grew up. There are too many memories I have, I did not how to use it. I would like to not let the memory becomes fragmented, no recovery.

I wrote "Blues south of the" more than two years time. Zhu period I have read a new book, "Imperial Square Lane blog is issued," careful study of the south of the historical and cultural background. I also string alley, doing interviews, field trips, I thought at least be able to write most of the south. So I wrote more than two years later, standing before a map of the south and saw only part I wrote it, many places have not yet written. I found that people are actually very small, in the huge city of Beijing, looked so weak. Although the past two years, I almost became a south of the "string of alley", often walk in the dense spider web of the alley. However, all before I found a bit strange, a lot of memory, loss of a historical identity as the same look was so unreliable that some false-like, so my heart had a loss and confusion. I found the old stuff in Beijing deep enough, need to do much effort to be able to write some of them true. I wrote more than "South Blues," the circumstances surrounding this book, I would like to talk about how to protect the south of the culture of my personal feelings. Before the door as the axis of radiation south of what was once the center of Beijing culture and entertainment business, its historical and cultural significance, for the construction of a new Beijing, protection of profound significance of old Beijing. Since the Ming Dynasty, the end of the Grand Canal water transport terminal, south of the Jishuitan moved to the front door, and later expanded outside the city have been opened to the Qing Dynasty against the inner city theaters, the theater opened most of the railway station outside the front door and front door establishment of the center hub ... ... This series of historical factors, creating a unique historical position of the South and meaning.

And while the densely populated south, dilapidated housing, municipal services are inadequate, the residents quality of life does have to be improved, but the most valuable piece of South and relatively complete, it can be said that the last piece of commercial culture of old Beijing neighborhood, has a history of accumulation the human characteristics of the inertia of blindly new channels ethical ideas and the city, is really the only way to save south of it? Destruction of the old alley, alley lost support, the existence of the old courtyard there meaning? Went to the old broken, re-shabby buildings, but only fake it. The demolition of large tracts of old neighborhoods, changing the look south past the old, old streets, shops, Hall should be well protected and planning, I hope that cities in the development process, the more cultural perspective, a little more creative, urban development in order to avoid the "thousands of the city side of the" embarrassment.
