Historical legend of Beijing Financial Street
In A.D. 1267, Kublai Khan built the capital of the Yuan Dynasty after careful investigation and according to the planning principles of Kao. There are 50 squares in Dadoucheng, and each square has its own square gate. The lintel is marked with the names of Futian Square, Qing Ji Square, Anfu Square and Fengchi Square. The planning is complete and the buildings are neat.
Fang Jincheng, located in the southwest corner of the capital city of Yuan Dynasty, means Historical Records of Qin Benji: "Guanzhong is solid, Jincheng is thousands of miles away, and all descendants are emperors' businesses. "In the north of Jincheng Square, there is a magnificent and beautiful white pagoda of Miaoying Temple, and in the south, there is a magnificent city God Temple. In the early Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, there were many silver shops and gold shops here, where businessmen, rich people and relatives of the country made a fortune, and it was a prosperous business district and financial center. In the first year of the Republic of China, Daqing Bank located here was changed to China Bank. " Later, industrial banks in Chinese mainland, Jincheng and China were established here. Ten years ago, the bank planned to build a building, which was like a bank street. "However, in the warlord melee, Jincheng Square gradually declined, and the banks and Jincheng Square turned to Qianmen and Dongcheng. Since Jincheng Square was renamed in Qing Dynasty, it was changed to Jinshifang.
Fang Jincheng was located in the southwest of the inner city of Beijing during the Ming and Qing Dynasties. This is an ancient residential area with vertical and horizontal alleys and low terrain. The gully and Taiping Bridge Street on the east side used to be the flood drainage ditch in the city, which went straight to the south moat from north to south. Quiet alleys are mostly bungalows and low-rise houses, and there are also several spacious palaces, such as Wudinghou and Guangningbo in the Ming Dynasty, Shuncheng County Wangfu and Degong Mansion in the Qing Dynasty, as well as some government agencies and special places, such as Inspection Institute, Promotion Procuratorate, Tunma Procuratorate, Jeju Wei, Tengpai Camp and Ma Yang Camp.
The sun and the moon evolve and the stars move. 100 years have passed. From 1992 to 2005, more than 700 years after its establishment in Jincheng Square, a building with a total length of 1700 meters and a width of 600 meters extends from the Bank of China building next to Fuchengmen overpass in the north to the head office of China People's Bank in the northeast of Fuxingmen overpass in the south. This is Beijing Financial Street, which will become one of the financial centers in the Asia-Pacific region.
I grew up from seven or eight years old to twenty-four or five years old in the former site of Financial Street, and spent an innocent childhood, a vigorous teenager and a youthful age. The tall city walls, quaint streets and lanes, and magical legends left a deep impression in my heart. Now, standing on the legendary financial street, staring at the tall buildings and meditation, childhood scenes come into view one by one: a deep and high wall in the west extends from south to north, and the low-rise houses under the wall sandwich the Gu Xiang, which is 1700 meters long. There are two different names: Fuxingmen North Shuncheng Street and Fuchengmen South Shuncheng Street. According to historical records, these two Shuncheng Streets, located in the inner wall of Beijing, were called Fuchengmen Nanchengxia Streets in the Ming Dynasty and belonged to Jincheng Square. In the Qing Dynasty, it was called Nanshuncheng Street, which belonged to the red flag boundary. During the Republic of China, the city wall was demolished and the Fuxing Gate was opened. A long street divides into two streets from the gap in the wall of Yuetan South Street. Now this ancient street has been hidden under the tall buildings in Financial Street.
On the south side of the existing east-west Fangcheng Street, there used to be a north-south alley named Tengpaiying and Damen Lane, and on the south side was the east-west Wofosi Street. At the northwest end of this street, there is an ancient temple called Jiufeng Temple, which was built by a monk named Jiu Feng in the 22nd year of Zhenguan in Tang Dynasty (AD 648). Rebuilt in the Qing Dynasty, the temple was renamed Wofo Temple Street because it enshrined a statue of a reclining Buddha. This temple still existed in the 1950s. When I was studying in Tengpaiying Primary School, I played football after school and sometimes kicked the ball into the temple. We climbed over the wall many times to find the ball. Inadvertently, I touched the remaining stone tablet in the temple and leaned over the window to see the reclining Buddha in the temple. I only remember that some of them were afraid of people in the dark. Parkson Shopping Center, China Arts and Crafts Museum, China People's Bank Head Office and Long-distance Telephone Building have been built above these three hutongs.
The four hutongs on the north side of Fangcheng Street have disappeared. They are Bai Zi Hutong, Garden Palace Hutong, Nanxingsheng Hutong and Xixingsheng Hutong. Bai Zi Hutong was called blacksmith's camp in Qing Dynasty, and it and Tengpaiying Hutong on the south side of Fangcheng Street both belonged to the special forces barracks of Hongqi. In Qing Dynasty, Garden Palace was called Xijiadao or Chenghuang Temple, and the back of the northern end of Chenghuang Temple was later renamed Garden Palace East Lane.
Nanxingsheng Hutong was once the boundary of Xixian Factory in Ming Dynasty, which was formed in Qing Dynasty. Because it is the Red Flag Factory in the north, it is called Cannon Hutong. 19 1 1 years later, because the name of the artillery factory was taboo, the governor of Zhili agreed to live next to it and renamed it Hutong. 1965 was renamed as West Sheng Xing Hutong and South Sheng Xing Hutong respectively according to the direction of Hutong.
Yiyuan Hutong at the northern end of Huayuangong Hutong is only south. My alma mater, Beijing No.8 Middle School, still exists. The school has expanded its new teaching building, and there is still a wall at the factory run by the original school. According to the quadrangle hutong in the Ming Dynasty, it is the office of the inspection institute, which is called the inspection institute hutong. In the Qing Dynasty, it was renamed Siheyuan Hutong, and now a high-rise building has been built on the north side of Hutong.
According to the east-west direction of Xueyuan Hutong, it is called Xueyuan Hutong, which is the office of Tuxue Chayuan in Ming Dynasty. Hutong, also known as Tuxue Tea Garden Hutong, was renamed Xueyuan Hutong in Qing Dynasty. Its No.3 Courtyard was once the residence of Degong in Qing Dynasty. Now it has been occupied by buildings in Financial Street.
The east-west long street north of Xueyuan Hutong was called "Tunyuan" in the Ming Dynasty, where Tunma Chayuan was located in the Ming Dynasty, and renamed Tunsi Hutong in the Qing Dynasty, which has now disappeared.
On the north side of the east side of Tunjuan Hutong, there is a north-south alley called Zaolin Street, and its west is connected by an east-west alley called Songhe Hutong. It was named after a Songhe Temple in the Ming Dynasty, but it was renamed Songhe Hutong in the Qing Dynasty, and the indigenous people still call it Songhe Temple. In the north of Songhe Hutong, there are Banhu Hutong, Songbai Hutong, Zhenwu Hutong and Jinmao Hutong, all of which are occupied by high-rise buildings in Financial Street.
The east-west Guangningbao and Wudinghou Hutong in Tunjuan Hutong were expanded into secondary trunk roads with widths of 40 meters and 45 meters according to regulations, and formed a "two horizontal and one vertical" financial street road main frame with the north-south financial street (expanded from the original Garden Palace Hutong). There is a chimney alley in the disappearing alley north of Guangning Bo Street. Because this street is shaped like a chimney, it was called Nanyantuan Hutong in Qing Dynasty. Zhiwei Hutong, in the Ming Dynasty, Jeju Weishi guarded the capital, but in the Qing Dynasty it was mistaken for Zhiwei Hutong, which made people puzzled. Houlou Hutong; Yangmaying in the west was called Yangmaying Hutong in Ming Dynasty, but it was called Yangmaying Hutong by mistake in Qing Dynasty. It was divided into two east-west hutongs, north and south, and later called Yangmaying Hutong. Tubichang Hutong, formerly known as Tupo Factory; Kissing Hutong was originally a part of Houlou Hutong; Judelingha, known as Double Fence in Qing Dynasty, was the place where Li Wenzhong, an officer of Northeast Army, lived during the Republic of China. His family was named Judeli, and Hutong was renamed. After liberation, it was renamed Judeli. Four-eye well, named after a well with four holes in the manhole cover here in Qing Dynasty; Youai Lane was a part of Wool Hutong in Ming Dynasty. In Qing Dynasty, there was a Tatar Temple in Hutong. After liberation, Hutong was renamed Youai Lane (1949). Before and after Sanbao Hutong, it was called Sanbao Hutong or Saidai Hutong in Qing Dynasty. Mengduan Hutong; Dai Yu Hutong, named after its jade belt shape; Large and small basin hutongs; Mahayana Hutong, called Wuyiku Hutong in the east of Qing Dynasty, was named after Dacheng Temple in Hutong in Qing Dynasty. Now a small part of the east is right in front of CPPCC Auditorium. Daxi Hutong, called Magpie Hutong in Qing Dynasty, was later called Daxi Hutong; Huajia Hutong was called Huajia Hutong in Ming Dynasty, Huajia Temple Hutong in Qing Dynasty and Jiao Zan Temple later. I remember seeing a Beijing opera performance in a big house on the south side of the west section of this hutong when I was a child, but it's gone now. ...
In the hutong area of Financial Street, by June 5438+February, 2004, only Dingzhang Hutong, Dahe Line Hutong and the north side of Jinshifang Street (from Funei Street to Wuding Back Street) were left. According to the plan, the southern section of Jinshifang Street and the southern section of Taipingqiao Street will become the commercial center avenue, and these hutongs will also disappear.
On February 1 1 day, 2004, Beijing Evening News published the news that nearly 200 hutongs disappeared in Xicheng District in 50 years, which aroused great concern, and some even questioned the data of disappearing hutongs. Now the facts confirm the speed of the disappearance of Beijing Hutong. In the financial street area alone, 53 hutongs have been lost in more than ten years, while the names such as downtown street, Taiping Bridge street, Guangningbo street, Wuding back street, Jinshifang street and Fangcheng street still exist, but they have already been transformed. If you count the hutongs that exist in name only, there are 64 hutongs that have disappeared in the financial street area, accounting for nearly one-third of the hutongs that have disappeared in Xicheng District.
The urban transformation of financial street has its historical origin. Jincheng Square has been a financial center since ancient times. Today, it has also realized its dream. Today, it has been more than ten years since 1992 began to build a financial street, and the main building has taken on a new look. It is hoped that in the future planning and construction, we will pay more attention to the style and features of the ancient city, try our best to protect and restore the charm of the ancient capital, pay attention to inheriting the classics and the true meaning of China traditional culture, make the past serve the present, make foreign things serve China, combine modernity with tradition, make full use of cultural sites such as Baita Temple, Chenghuang Temple, Fire Temple and Mosque, and do a good job in cultural relics protection and modernization.
The master plan of Beijing approved by the State Council 1993 proposes to build a national financial management center from Fuchengmen to Fuxingmen in the West Second Ring Road, and to centrally arrange the headquarters of national banks and non-bank institutions, thus Beijing Financial Street came into being. As the first large-scale comprehensive financial functional area in the capital, after 12 years of development, Financial Street has become the most influential financial center in China.
1. Financial Street has developed into a financial decision-making supervision center, an asset management center, a financial payment and settlement center and a financial information center in China;
Financial Street has concentrated the highest financial decision-making and supervision institutions in China, such as China People's Bank, China Banking Regulatory Commission, China Securities Regulatory Commission and China Insurance Regulatory Commission. Almost all major financial decisions related to China are brewed, discussed and finally formed here.
The assets managed by enterprises in the financial street area reach 18 trillion yuan, and the concentration of assets ranks first in the country. The total financial assets managed by financial institutions in the financial street area reached 16.2 trillion yuan, accounting for 60% of the total financial assets in the country, controlling more than 90% of the credit funds and 65% of the premium funds in the country, and the daily capital flow exceeded 10 billion yuan.
Financial Street is the capital settlement center of China's financial industry, which has gathered the clearing center of the People's Bank of China, the National Debt Registration and Clearing Corporation of China and the Central Securities Registration and Clearing Corporation.
With the advantages of centralized financial decision-making supervision departments and headquarters of financial institutions, as well as smooth and developed communication systems, Financial Street collects and transmits economic and financial information of the whole country and even the whole world in time.
Second, the financial street construction planning:
In the planning and design of the financial street central area, the construction concept of internationalization, ecology, humanization and vitality is introduced. By the end of 2007, 3.36 million square meters of financial street will be completed. After the completion, international financial institutions will gather, and five-star hotels, financier clubs, international conference centers, international schools, foreign-related apartments and other all-round supporting facilities will be complete, which will provide high-grade international working and living environment for people from all walks of life in Financial Street.
Third, the investment environment:
Financial Street attaches great importance to soft environment construction. With the support of the municipal government, Xicheng District People's Government established Xicheng District Financial Industry Promotion Office in 2003, and Financial Street Holding Company established Financial Street Integrated Service Center and Beijing Financial Street Chamber of Commerce. In 2003, the Xicheng District People's Government issued the Opinions on Promoting the Development of Financial Industry in the Capital, and in 2005, the Beijing Municipal People's Government issued the Opinions on Promoting the Development of Financial Industry to create a humanistic atmosphere for institutions and enterprises that have settled in the Financial Street.
