The origin of the name

Although there is a saying of "Chunxi in one hundred years", Chunxi Road was built by warlord Yang Sen in 1924. At first, Chunxi Road in Chengdu was named "Senwei road" because of Yang Sen's title of "Senwei general". Later, it was renamed "Chunxi Road" after Laozi's "Tao Te Ching" allusion: "all the people are bustling, like enjoying too much, like climbing the spring terrace". It describes the prosperous business, people's bustling and prosperous times.

Chunxi Road was intended to be built into a straight line, but Zheng Shaofu, the owner of Fuji pharmacy in Zongfu street at that time, was the interpreter of the French Consulate, and refused to demolish it, so Yang Sen had to compromise. So in Zhongshan Square, Chunxi East Road and Chunxi West Road, Chunxi South Road and Chunxi North Road are staggered.

Historical evolution

Chunxi Road was named in 1924, 87 years ago, known as Century Golden Street. At that time, Yang Sen, the governor of Sichuan Province, proposed to build it. Yang Sen ordered that all the old yamen be demolished. A street from south to North was built here, and then two streets from east to West were built, named the East, West, South and North sections of Chunxi Road. According to the relevant historical data, Chunxi Road's previous life began in the merchants, issued orders in the government, and completed in the warlord period.

More than one hundred years ago, this was the official yamen of the Qing Dynasty. The Yamen faces south from the north and covers an extremely wide area. There is a long and deep roadway in front of the yamen, which is adjacent to Nanxin Street on the right, Chengshou street and Kejia Lane on the left and zouma Street on the opposite. After the Republic of China, the Yamen was abandoned. Many shantytowns and small shops were occupied in the deep alley in front of zouma street. In the old yamen, a middle school was set up. In an instant, the old officialdom turned into a market. The Hawker's cry, the shop's name, the flag, the bargaining, the noise of people, and the small commodity market came into being.

In the spring of 1924, Yang Sen, a warlord who became governor of Sichuan Province, took charge of Chengdu. At the beginning of taking office, he demolished the houses around the former chanchashi yamen, followed the example of Western Europe, improved municipal administration, and built roads. In this way, a new road with four sections of East, West, South, and North was built, with a ten character intersection and a street garden specially built.

After the new road was built, Yang Sen urged Jiang Ziyu, a former Qing Dynasty scholar in Shuangliu County, to name it. Jiang Ziyu knew that Yang Sen was a great success, so he named the new road "Senwei road". This street name seems to be a bit foreign, but in fact, it contains a moral, intended to support. At that time, the Beiyang Government awarded Yang Sen the title of "Senwei" general.

Yang Sen was expelled from Chengdu in the war of "unifying Sichuan", and then "Senwei road" was changed to "Chunxi Road". Why did you change your name? Why Chunxi Road? Of course, the name change is to remove the traces of Janssen. And Chunxi Road, there are several views. After Yang Sen's defeat, Jiang Ziyu suggested to the relevant authorities that "Senwei road" should be changed to "Chunxi Road". It is said that Mr. Chen Yuefang, a famous calligrapher and poet, once served as the Secretary of Chengdu Municipal governor Wang zanxu, gave the name of this road, which means that "the spring breeze is warm, and the people's sons are coming from the city". Therefore, the street is called "Chunxi Road".

There is a monument in the street garden of Chunxi Road, on which there is a standing bronze statue of Dr. Sun Yat Sen. it was completed in early 1928. In 1943, when she Zhongying was the mayor of Chengdu, she thought that the bronze statue was somewhat distorted, so she invited Liu Kaiqu, a famous sculptor, to remodel one. Today, the sitting statue of Sun Yat sen in the garden is Liu Kaiqu's masterpiece.

After the beginning of the "Cultural Revolution", Chunxi Road was changed to "anti imperialist road" on August 24, 1966. Because of its special status in Chengdu, it became the main place for Chengdu Red Guards' activities, and finally it was changed back to "Chunxi Road".

It is said that in those years, a night market stall could be sold for 40000 to 50000 yuan. Chunxi Road night market creates a profit of 1000 yuan per meter. Later, according to the development of urban economy, the night market was canceled. After several years of reconstruction and expansion, Chunxi Road changed greatly.

Unique logo

When Chunxi Road became more and more famous, it was proposed that Centennial golden street should have its unique logo, namely street sign. The street sign was designed by Liu Guoyuan, a designer from Hangzhou. The calligraphy art was used to combine the two characters "Chunxi" into a whole. The "Ri" under the "Chun" and the "Chen" on the left of the "Xi" overlapped and simplified into a square with the word "1924" inside. The whole design is mainly red and yellow. The square hole in the logo represents ancient coins and is a symbol of wealth. 1924 is the time when Chunxi Road was named, and the four points under the sign symbolize the bustling crowd, implying the popularity of pedestrian street.

On the back of the logo, there is an allusion of the origin of "Chunxi" -- "all people are happy, just like climbing the spring platform".
