In 1924, a new and Europeanization of the Chinese street (or the Central Avenue) has been formed at the same time, just to recover the administrative authority of China under the jurisdiction of local government is also eager to show their ability, determination to further rectify and decorate this has been listed as a Class the streets, in addition to fill in some additional buildings, more stringent management measures, the according to the lot Street, Thistle Street shop a stone block stone formation specific style, came to hire the famous Russian engineer Comte new Xiao design, construction, spent a full three years, one side of the stone-paved road. This square stone, shaped like a Russian type of small bread, the surface has obvious notches Mimizaza, a pay one, wave with a wave, pushing the extension, with the sun or lighting direction, intensity, color changes, evolved into a variety of fantastic composition, coupled with the street on both sides of the right of the green-way street, and contests for the lining of the potted roses scenery, were strolling about, Huang Ru traveling waves in the microwave between small, it is floating in the air For cents ecstatic . As if luxury coach from the combined covered Lvyin in passing, Don pure white horses, marching split step, Tisheng get too crisp ear, from far and near, from near and far, with rapt attention amid breeze sent array Front clove flowers, enchanted Shenyi, to be added.
In fact, the paving stones in the mountain towns in southern China a precedent. But, like the streets of China this way, selection of fine, tough same color of granite, carved with such a small partition Zhuo uniform shape, it is rare. Paving the way for the elderly, according to personal memories of that year, which by the Xing'an, drilled shipped Zhangguangcailing square stone, each about the cost of a silver dollar. At that time, each piece of silver could buy 40 kilograms of millet child. It was an adult in January rations ah. This square stone length 18 cm, width 12 cm thick, 8 cm; while square stone street more than 70 million pieces, all consumption of silver to buy more than 1,400 million kg of millet, is how many Chinese people's blood and sweat ah! -Inch road-inch gold, ancient and modern, whether it has such a high road?
However, 70 years later, he served as the cruel ravages of Seoul, wind and rain erosion, street charm with nothing; which tube rolling wheels grind, people Jian horse riding, still perfect as ever. Harbin people's sweat is not in vain, it condensed into the boundless wealth for generations to come.
Mr. Liang Shiqiu once said: "A fine art, to understand the mystery of which must Having understood the roots of which must be under Jerneh gas, the relatively quietly, to Lex, but also short-sighted, can only take the hint." Even 70 years Today, after visiting China Street, you will find the street on both sides of styles but a unified and harmonious architecture, with small bread-like side stone-paved streets exist side by side, complement each other to form a unique Chinese and foreign urban construction in the history of Long Street. These buildings, all kinds, neither of ancient Chinese architectural cornices brackets, red walls green tile, nor the ancient gardens of its winding, marked the beginning of nine streams. But walk through the Long Street, every move, there are some landscapes; each door and window fans, but it is Journey Into Amazing Caves. Not long ago, or China's Songhua River Wei Tang deserted meadow, and instantly turned into a complete Europeanization of the strange landscape. Some people have it with London's Regent Street, Champs-Elysees in Paris, Berlin, Lime Street, the right to par, and even asserted: "Paris, a popular style, not two weeks can be popular in Harbin."
In view of this, the Chinese local authorities to respond to public opinion, in July 1928, the quay, New Street were listed as Daoli District, Nangang District, will be renamed the streets of Russian transliteration of Chinese street names. At the same time, put this famous street full of humiliation that the name of "Chinese Street", officially changed its name to Central Avenue.
The actual situation of the then Central Avenue, the famous poet, essayist Zhu Ziqing on his trip through Europe staying Harbin Ma Diel a letter addressed to Mr. Ye Shengtao, there is such a wonderful description:
"This is the Europeanization of the city while, but the leisure of the premises as much is even worse than the Peking. Big stores open from 9 am to 12 points, 1 point to 3 points rest; 3:00 on again, then come by 5:00. Evenings, Natural usual switch on the lights, so-hyun eye of curtain rods and decorative expansive markets. shuttling men and women like a lot more than during the day. Russians, at least in Harbin, the mechanics are puzzled with the street edge. in Paris, London's most exciting on the road at night seems to have such a Bale shopping. Street on both sides of the bench a lot of rest and not covering their Lvyin; many Russians not to fall back on such a four sat there, there was actually fun to come. ... ...
"Here the roads are built into the stone. Some people say that gravel roads less dust; even without asphalt, perhaps because the winter is too cold, cold asphalt, without the rules. In short, the dust less is true ... ... the streets here away from the better side, is indeed more comfortable than in Peking. because the road is good, car Ye Hao, is more than just sitting balance, and there are; they are cheap; fast! streets is 'a', a Yangshou to come , and the Peking rickshaw, as here, rickshaw few and expensive, a few cents can take cars, more people will be and the prices of the same ocean. Mr. Hu Shizhi advocate 'car civilization', here I am the first contact with the vehicle civilized. ... ...
"There's the same thing cheaper is the Russian cuisine. Our first day in Tianjin, a noodle noodles, thinking that cheaper. I did not realize the next day Russia, to eat lunch, than we Tianjin Museum of good and much cheaper. ... ... Russian cuisine multi-component, easy to eat a la carte points higher than in other countries to eat more vegetables free.
"Finally I would say that the Songhua River, ... ... the river there is a Sun Island in summer, many people tend to have brought people to a day in the above. ... ... We have not the time to go, like water bath, for failing to bring clothes while the strike. the island has a temporary camera, and I and a comrade Xu Jun, sat him on a boat according to an image, the shore filled with Russian woman wearing a swim a total of 45 children who Jumping跑跑to Hard pushed us alongside the boat, some submerged in water, and some lie on the board together as the years goes on shining. the innocent and naive, the idea is to teach people some sense of the warmth. Oriental camera people, Harbin is very many other big city in China, it seems have not seen, but also the foreign stuff, as far as may not be good, when desirable, to commemorate only. draw from the Sun Island Road, outside of the boat to go, I was just starting hands rowing, In Peking, Shanghai and had several back, the most gratification is that the back. boatman control the direction, he always waited on the two paddle me. paddle is Western-style, long and well-proportioned, supporting small Tiecha meeting, it was steady, and flexible. paddle a thin film is winding. the river and having no ping algae, appears to matter to a spacious, so that is not difficult to please derived from, we passed a pleasant afternoon. The next day we left Harbin in a Huoer .
"Mr. Zhu Ziqing to straightforward style of writing practices, avoided the humiliation of Harbin before history through here a few days to write his feelings, feeling relaxed, comfortable, reading epidemic, smooth, which was then the portrayal of the social environment. However, when he left the Harbin, less than a month after the "918 Incident" took place, and just, "Nicholas II enclave" in the wake of the shackles of Harbin, once again trapped in a "Japanese militarists Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere" difficulties cage. This meta-architecture of the gallery in Europe has just come out will be related to a secluded shady.
