Shuo Men Street

Shuo Men Street

Starting from Dasheng Lane in shuimentou in the East and Jiefang street in the west, it is 380 meters long and 6 meters wide, and the narrowest is only 2.9 meters. It is the most complete old street in the old city of Wenzhou. Because it is located in shuolmen, one of the seven gates of Wenzhou ancient city, it is named shuolmen street. Among them, ceramics are the most famous

history

In Ming and Qing Dynasties, shuolmen was a famous commercial street in Wenzhou. Because it is close to the South quay of Oujiang River, Shuo Men street becomes a northward passage to the city. As soon as people stop their boats and go ashore, they go straight to Shuo men, where there are all kinds of Southern products, aquatic products, cakes, incense sticks and so on. However, with the development of the times, the city is getting bigger and bigger, and the economic center of gravity is gradually shifting. Shuo Men street has lost its former bustle and become a residential area for residents. Only the ancient city wall still standing on the street witnesses the past glory.

Modern development

In 2006, Lucheng District renovated the environment of Shuomen street and renovated the ancient street. In 2007, the Lantern Festival opened the market with a new look.

In addition to the renovated antique streets and buildings, the merchants on shuolmen Street are interested in reflecting the cultural taste of shuolmen historical and cultural street

Nature plays an important role. The person in charge of the Construction Management Office of shuolmen street said that when the merchants were introduced to shuolmen street, the first business project to be considered was also the type with strong cultural heritage and high historical grade.

Now, the merchants of Shuo Men street are trying to hold up the charm of history and culture of Shuo Men street. They are doing their duty to find a balance between commerce and culture. Today's Shuo Men street is becoming more and more popular. Because Shuo Men street is a brand new attempt, there will inevitably be some shortcomings in the development stage. However, we have reason to believe that through continuous efforts, Shuomen ancient street will be better and better.

Features of scenic spots

Shuomen community is located in the historical and Cultural District, which is the "Beibu" functional area of the ancient city of Wenzhou. It is the most well preserved old area so far. It has the traditional fishbone shaped Street texture, the livable and commercial functional pattern of mountains and rivers, and the unique charm of the old Wenzhou People's living customs. In addition, it retains the impression of "west wind spreading to the East" and the mark of red revolutionary culture when Wenzhou opened as a port. Therefore, Shuo men Cultural Hall mainly displays intangible cultural heritage and folk culture. The famous ship model master Wang along, the works of Wang family members of Wenzhou shipbuilding aristocratic family and the existing mud house in Shuomen Street are displayed in it.

In addition, cultural enthusiasts in shuolmen community have also actively participated in the construction of cultural auditorium. For example, LV Xunqiang, the inheritor of Wenzhou paper art, and pan Meixi, the innovator of collage carving, stone carving without reinforcement and holographic art, have all displayed their studios to the public through the cultural auditorium.
