There is no doubt about climbing the great wall and eating roast duck, but is it so important to visit Panjiayuan?

Panjiayuan here refers to the "Panjiayuan used goods market" located on the South Road of the East Third Ring Road in Beijing.

Pan Jiayuan's goods really can't be called by the same name, but the saying of second-hand goods is actually very reluctant. As a matter of fact, there are almost everything here, and there are a lot of new products. In detail, such as antique furniture, ancient calligraphy and paintings, agate and jade, ceramics, Chinese and foreign coins, religious supplies, ethnic costumes, "Cultural Revolution" relics, spring palace paintings There are also people selling crafts here, such as "Hulu Xu".

If we have to sum up the common character of Pan Jiayuan's goods, we can probably call it "strange goods", that is, strange things. Because of this, in the autumn, some people even brought it here to sell.

If the goods of Panjiayuan are combined, the weapon series can arm a classical army; the musical instrument series can organize several bands; the costume can dress up a Peking Opera Troupe and Tibetan opera troupe; the temple can be built; the Rongguo mansion, an Imperial Academy, an ancient bank and a library can be built

In short, the collection of Pan Jiayuan is much richer than that of any other museum. You can sell anything you think of. It's hard to say whether you can sell it or not, but at least no one will laugh at you.

history

The most quaint scene of Panjiayuan is ghost city. "Ghost market" refers to a kind of temporary market selling antiques at three or four o'clock in the morning. Talking about "ghost market" can be traced back to the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China. At that time, with the decline of national fortune, many high-ranking officials and dignitaries lost their families, so they stole their curios and sold them in the street. After all, it's a disgraceful business. You can only choose to trade with lanterns at three or four o'clock in the morning, so that buyers can't see their faces. Because it looks like a ghost, it gets its name. So the antique industry knows that the ghost market produces good goods.

There are two ghost markets in Panjiayuan every week, Saturday and Sunday, especially Saturday. At 4 o'clock in the morning, there were people at the gate of Panjiayuan. The stall owners were carrying paper boxes full of small handicrafts in three wheeled vehicles. Customers were driving and walking outside Panjiayuan market, crowding the gate. When the gate opened at 4:30, the crowd swarmed in and quickly took their places.

After the opening of the market, although there are many people, the market is not noisy and everyone is whispering. The original intention of the old customer holding a flashlight is to see the goods more clearly. These are the rules handed down from the previous life. It doesn't need to be so grand, because the lights of Panjiayuan market are very bright. But a flashlight is a must. It's just a sign that the buyer knows the ropes.

It's getting light, the ghost market time is over, and the market continues to open. At this time, you can see everyone's expression clearly. The seller's motivation is the same, to make money: and the buyer is absolutely a landscape, everyone is different: there are dedicated to really Taohuo, there are to inquire about the price of their own treasure, there are artless, there are spectators.

Although the identities and motives of Pan Jiayuan people vary greatly, they still form some conventional rules. For example, you can't ask the price of things that others hold in their hands. When others put it down, you can take it up and ask for the price. You can't become angry just because someone picked it up. You have to admit it.

Since we are in the world, we can't do without legendary stories of prosperity.

There are many old men and women in Panjiayuan. When they were young, they probably didn't want to be rich
