Yangshi Street

synonym

Xiyang city generally refers to Yangshi street

Yangshi street, formerly known as Xiyang City, is opposite to Dongyang City across Nanshi Street (now Jiefang Road). In 1958, when Taiyuan Municipal People's Committee adjusted the names of some streets and alleys, Dongyang City and Yisi street were merged into Zhonglou street, and Xiyang city was changed into "Yangshi Street".

Historical evolution

Yangshi street is one of the ancient streets in Taiyuan. In Song Dynasty, this street belongs to Tangming town of Yangqu county. In the past 30 years, there has been a popular saying that today's yangshijie area was the place where sheep and livestock were traded in the Song Dynasty. In fact, this kind of statement is similar to the conjecture. Because in 923 ad, the city of Taiyuan, built by Pan Mei, belonged to the sub city. The sub city was full of government offices, granaries, weapons depots, prisons and so on. There was no "sheep market" at all. The disappearance of Zicheng was after the battle of Taiyuan in song and Jin Dynasties. As for the emergence of Xiyang city and streets, although it is difficult to make an accurate decision, it will never be before Jin Dynasty. It seems to be in the middle of Ming Dynasty.

According to the existing records of Taiyuan in the early Ming Dynasty, there is not a single word of Xiyang city in the chapters and words about the "lanes" in Taiyuan City, or even a similar word. However, in Yangqu county annals compiled in Qing Dynasty, there is a record of "Xueyuan front street", namely Xiyang city.

Great changes

The great changes of Yangshi Street took place in more than 30 years after the 1950s. In 1955, the opening of the west section of Yangshi Street changed the original closed pattern of T-shaped with the west wall. In 1958, Jiefang Road was developed. The next year, the first wide screen cinema in Taiyuan was built on the south side of the east entrance of Yangshi street, making the century old Yangshi new. In 1982, the famous Yucai restaurant "linxiangzhai" in Shanxi Province, with its new structure and ancient style, sprang up on the north side of the east entrance of Yangshi street, echoing the wide screen cinema. Before May 1, 1988, a wide screen pedestrian overpass across Jiefang Road connecting Yangshi street and Zhonglou Street appeared in the east of the street like a rainbow. These great changes make Yangshi street, which has a history of hundreds of years, radiate a new youth and quickly run in the forefront of Taiyuan's urban construction planning.
