Cultural history

Like the Confucius temple in Nanjing and Town God's Temple in Shanghai, the initial prosperity of Shenyang's northern market was also caused by a temple. In the early Qing Dynasty, Dan Dahan, the leader of the Mongolian Lamaism, died in battle. His mother and wife, as a token of their sincerity to return to the Qing Dynasty, set out from Chahar in the far distance, and came to Shengjing with the white camel carrying the mahagara Golden Buddha, the golden word Lama Scripture and the imperial seal. Emperor Taiji, Emperor Taizong of the Qing Dynasty, welcomed each other with generous gifts and built a Lamaism temple, Shisheng temple, in Sanli west of Shengjing city. As a result, the common people who came to offer sacrifices on the double festival gradually began to form a market nearby, and the north market began to take shape. Zhang zuolin ordered the establishment of two markets. In 1918, Zhang zuolin, a warlord of Fengxi, ordered the construction to be carried out by Wang Yongjiang, the acting governor at that time. In the commercial port area formed after the Russo Japanese War, two markets were opened up, namely, the south market and the North market. From the 1920s to the 1930s, these two markets reached their heyday in their history, and became "miscellaneous places" both inside and outside the pass. Although it has been reconstructed and built for many times, it is hard to find the scene of that year in the north and South markets, but the pattern left by that year is still discernible. The south market is located in the southwest of the commercial port. It extends to Sanjing street in the East, Luwan in the west, Daxi road in the north and shisanwei road in the south. It is basically centered on a "Huaxing Plaza" and scattered along the streets around the Plaza. The square still exists today, but because it is too small, today's Nanshi people prefer to call it a "turntable" when guiding people. As for the north market, it is basically centered on Shisheng temple and distributed in a belt on the "back neck" of Shenyang municipal government. In the magnificent new Beishi archway, the Zhu eaves of Shisheng temple are still there. What kind of brilliance do they tell us? "By the 1930s, the north market area had become a bustling" miscellaneous place ", with more than 150 entertainment places, more than 120 hotels, six cinemas and a number of pawnshops, cigarette shops, wrestling fields, etc., forming a prosperous entertainment area with strong cultural and traditional characteristics, and becoming the epitome of Northeast folk culture." Compared with Chen Tianming's emotional memories, Professor Wu bing'an's description of the northern market highlights its position at that time. For the people of Mukden who lived in remote places for a long time and during the war, this place is more like a habitat representing peace and tranquility. It is full of a strong flavor of life, but also reflects the development of Mukden at this time to a greater extent. As a result, the north market has achieved more "fame". North market north market is one of the ten busy markets in early years of China. It is the epitome of the famous business district and market culture of old Shenyang. Taiping temple is the only Xibo family temple in China, and Shisheng temple is the first royal temple in the Qing Dynasty. The old site of the CPC Manchuria Provincial Committee witnessed the glorious years of the early Chinese Communists. Today's north market has become a business district integrating business, living, office, dining, entertainment, shopping and sightseeing, with strong regional characteristics and folk customs, and the integration of modern commercial civilization and traditional civilization. It has become a new selling point of Shenyang's tourism culture and commercial culture~

The traditional characteristic of Laobei City: Dongjia stew

In the early years of the Republic of China, a pair of brothers surnamed men opened a sweet potato noodle shop. Because of the low price and good quality, the business was very prosperous. Because they had to boil the noodle slowly and kept stirring to prevent the paste, the work was very hard. The two brothers accepted a little apprentice surnamed Dong, who was doing chores while learning arts. One day, my brother went out to collect the money, and the land was at home alone. He pressed the cooked materials to dry, and forgot that there was a big pot of materials in the inner room. When master came back, he found that the powder had solidified into a big lump and could not make any more vermicelli. Afraid of being beaten by the master, the little apprentice cut the powder lump into small pieces and fried it in oil. Then he mixed it with mashed garlic and sesame paste and invited the master to taste it. The men brothers thought it was delicious after eating, so they cooked all the rest and asked the neighbors to taste it. The neighbors were full of praise and asked what the name of the food was. The little apprentice had an idea because of the master's surname, and said it was fried stewed in oil. The little apprentice went back to his home and added mung bean powder on the basis of sweet potato powder to make the stew taste more smooth. In Laobei City, there is a small stand called Laobei Dongjia stew. When the stew is golden on all sides and served with mashed garlic, sesame paste, chili oil, fragrant vinegar, shrimp oil and coriander, it's really crystal clear, soft, waxy and sweet. It's elastic in the mouth and tastes excellent. Both men and women, old and young, Manchu and Han Hui Xian all like this delicious food, which makes people feel happy and fragrant. When visiting temple fairs, it has become a good memory for the older generation to be able to watch juggling, listen to local operas and eat Dong family stew. With the improvement of living standards, people have a good life of food and clothing, and many traditional foods are gradually lost. However, Dong family stew in Laobei City has been handed down to help people find that little taste of happiness.
