The Ming Dynasty belongs to renshoufang, which is called "Qiantang Hutong". It is the place where the coin was made, and it is named after the establishment of qianju.

Hutong family

In the middle of the alley, on the west side of the road, there is an old house where Zhang Taiyan once lived. After the revolution of 1911, in order to win over Zhang Taiyan, Yuan Shikai gave him the title of "frontier envoy of the three eastern provinces". Soon, Zhang Taiyan resigned. After returning to Beijing, Zhang Taiyan lived in Qianliang Hutong in July 1914. The "servicemen" around him are all spies sent by Yuan Shikai, who block visitors at will. In order to deal with these people, Zhang Taiyan formulated the rules of engagement with servants, which stipulates that he must greet him every day. When he meets with him, he stands up and calls himself a slave. He can't stop visitors without authorization. To protest Yuan Shikai's imprisonment, Zhang Taiyan also announced a hunger strike. After Yuan Shikai became emperor, Zhang Taiyan hung the word "quick death" on the wall with seven feet of Xuan paper to show that he and yuan did not share the same fate. Lu Xun visited Zhang Taiyan in Qianliang Hutong four times. Zhang Taiyan lived here for about two years until Yuan Shikai died in June of 1916.
