Please tell me personally what famous history Wangjing has and all the information about old Wangjing. Thanks!

Wangjing as a place name first appeared in the Liao Dynasty

Historical records indicate that Wangjing as a place name first appeared in the Liao Dynasty, a thousand years ago. What Shen Kuo said actually refers to the events of the Liao Dynasty. The Liao Dynasty established its capital in Zhongjing (now Ningcheng, Inner Mongolia), and made Youzhou (now Beijing) one of its companion capitals, which was called Nanjing (also known as Yanjing). The Wangjing Pavilion at that time was not actually built in Wangjing, but in Sunhou (today's Sunhe Village), more than ten miles northeast of Wangjing. Sunhou and Wangjing were both located on the main transportation route from Zhongjing to Youzhou via Gubeikou. Sunhou was located on the south bank of the Wenyu River (today's Wenyu River). It was an important ferry that must be passed in and out of Youzhou from the northeast at that time. It was a battleground for military strategists. There was an earthen fortress in the village to watch the enemy's situation. Sun Hou was originally named Sun Kuan. In order to provide a place for envoys traveling from south to north to rest and drink, the Liao Dynasty built a residence in Sunhou. It was first called Sunhou Pavilion and later changed to Wangjing Pavilion. It must be that Wangjing was more famous than Sunhou in those days. Now I went to Sunhe Village to look for the remains of Wangjing Pavilion, but found nothing.

Since Wangjing Pavilion is located in Sunhou, Shen Kuo's "thirty miles" seems to be inaccurate. Therefore, the "Research on the Old News of Japan" compiled by Yu Minzhong in the Qing Dynasty and the "Chenyuan Shilue" compiled by Wu Changyuan both said that "Wangjing Pavilion is located in Sunhou Village, fifty miles northeast of the city." Considering that Youzhou in the Liao Dynasty was located in the area from Xibianmen to Xuanwumen today, this statement should be more accurate. In addition, there is a mention of "forty miles" in the Song Dynasty's "Wang Yigong (Zeng) Itinerary".

Wangjing Dun was built in the first year of Jingtai in the Ming Dynasty (1450). At this time, the Ming Dynasty was in a time of war. The Mongolian Oara tribe in the north continued to invade and wars were frequent. In August of the 14th year of Ming Zhengtong (1449), Yingzong Zhu Qizhen personally led an army of 500,000 people to the north to crusade, but was defeated by Huailai Tumubao. Yingzong also became a prisoner of the Oara army. Zhu Qiyu, the younger brother of Yingzong, then came to the throne (known as Emperor Jing). The first thing he did after taking power was to reuse Yu Qian, the Minister of War, to rely on him to refresh internal affairs, reorganize the army, prepare enough food and grass, and build city defenses to protect the capital. In October of the same year, Yu Qian led the Ming army to successfully defeat the Oara army that approached Beijing. After March, which was the first leap month of the first year of Jingtai in the Ming Dynasty, Yu Qian asked the emperor to strengthen Beijing's city defense: "Since there are no piers and platforms to look out on all sides of the capital, the invaders cannot know their distance or the location of their camps. It is difficult to prepare soldiers. They can be used There are piers and platforms built one, twenty or thirty miles away from the city for observation. Emperor Jing replied: "It's very good." He ordered Qin Tianjian to inspect it and draw a picture. In June of the same year, the commander-in-chief of Wuqing, Shi Heng, said again: "It is advisable to build piers and platforms on all sides of the capital for observation." In just one month, in July, "Desheng Gate Double Heddle Shop and Dongzhi Gate" were built in the north and northeast of the capital. "Wangjing Village Pier" ("Ming Dynasty Records Compilation" Beijing Historical Materials Volume). As for the shape and scale of this pier, there is no record in the history books. But it can be compared with the size of the piers built in other places at that time: "three feet high and twelve feet wide." Both "Rixia Jiuwen Kao" and "Chenyuan Shilue" of the Qing Dynasty mentioned this "Wangjing Village Pier".

After more than 550 years of ups and downs, Wangjing Dun has disappeared. Today, no one in Wangjing Village knows what Wangjing Dun is, but the old people in the village still remember that in the early years, there was a dirt bag at the south of the village, known as "Single Dun", which may be the legacy of Wangjing Dun. Later, factories and roads were built and this remaining earth bag was bulldozed.

■The large and small Wangjing villages were separated in the late Ming Dynasty

Before the Ming Dynasty, Wangjing was only one village, and the large and small Wangjing villages were separated in the late Ming Dynasty. The two villages are separated by a small river, with Dawangjing Village in the east and Xiaowangjing Village in the west. By the 1990s, Dawangjing Village had a permanent population of nearly 2,000 people and more than 440 households. Xiaowangjing Village has more than 700 people and more than 300 households. Although people in Wangjing Village and Wangjing Village know almost nothing about Wangjing Pavilion and Wangjing Dun, when talking about the origin of Wangjing, the elders in the village will tell the fact that when they were children, they could see Dongzhimen (city tower) and Drum Tower when they stood at the head of the village. .

■ Emperor Qianlong granted Wangjing the imperial title?

In addition, we can also hear a legend from their mouths about the imperial title of Wangjing: that year, Emperor Qianlong went to the summer resort to spend the summer. He passed this village via the imperial road and stopped to rest and drink tea. Looking back, I saw Dongzhimen and immediately named this place Wangjing. The simple sayings and legends of the old people probably reveal the original meaning of the name Wangjing. Of course, Dongzhimen could not be seen in the Liao Dynasty, but one could see a certain high point in Youzhou City at that time.

This theory is not unfounded. Look at the altitude of the villages in the Wangjing area. Although they are all located on the Great Plains, Wangjing Village and Wangjing Village are almost one meter higher than the surrounding villages, and more than 2 meters higher than Sunhe Village. Imagine how joyful it was when the envoys and merchants from the north walked out of the vast Yanshan Mountains and came to the vast plains. When they arrived at Wangjing, they suddenly saw a corner of the capital. Elderly people in Dawangjing Village still remember that in the early years, the Royal Road passed through the village, and shops and pubs were lined up on both sides of the Royal Road, making it very lively. Fifty years ago, the village still had the Double Guan Laoye Temple (one hall dedicated to two Guan Laoye), two wells per step, and other historic sites, but these have now disappeared. There were several cemeteries of prominent figures from the Ming and Qing dynasties around Wangjing Village, but most of them have been restored. Only a few rooms and two masson pine trees from the tomb of Shixu (commonly known as "Shizhongtang"), a military minister and a bachelor in the late Qing Dynasty, remain.

Wangjing Community has a history of more than 10 years. Except for a small number of "Old Wangjings" who have lived here for generations, the vast majority of the community are foreigners who have "immigrated" here. Regarding the past of this land, "Old Wangjing" people will know more or less from their fathers, but for many outsiders, it is probably full of questions. We reviewed the data and interviewed some elderly people in Wangjing to tell you about the origin of the place name Wangjing.

Ancient origin - During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, the "Jiang Terrace" once had a platform for worshiping generals. The southern area of ??Wangjing Community originally belonged to the Xibajianfang Administrative Village of Jiangtai Township. "Jiangtai" is named after the Baijiangtai that once stood near Jiangtaiwa Village West Railway Station. This general worship platform was built by Murong Jun, the former emperor of Yan during the Sixteenth Kingdom of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Now this Baijiang Terrace has long since disappeared, and the Jiangtaiwa Village where the Baijiang Terrace is located is no longer part of Jiangtai Township due to administrative planning adjustments, but is under the jurisdiction of Dongfeng Township.

Vicissitudes of change - "Futong" was a canal in the Yuan Dynasty. Wangjing now has two roads, one is called Futong East Street and the other is called Futong West Street. The word "Futong" is rather strange. In fact, the word "Futong" was named after the "Futong" that passed through here during the Yuan and Ming Dynasties. Futong River". Futong River, also known as "Ba River", is the small canal located on the south side of Siyuan Bridge in the southwest of Wangjing. However, in the Yuan Dynasty, this was not a small canal, but a large canal that could be used for water transportation. In 1279, the Yuan Dynasty opened the northern line of the grain transport river, which was named Futong River and ended at Guangxi Gate in what is now Xiba River. Seven dams including Qiansi Dam, Changqing Dam, Guocun Dam, Xiyang Dam, Zhengcun Dam, Wangcun Dam and Shengou Dam were built in the middle of the Futong River for water transportation, hence the name of the river. dam river. In the late Qing Dynasty, due to insufficient water resources, siltation and disrepair, the Bahe River gradually lost its water transport capacity. "Xiba River" and "Dongba"; are also related to this river; two other place names in Chaoyang District, "Xiba River" and "Dongba", are also named after the dam on the Futong River. "Xiba River" is located to the west of Changqing Dam, hence its name; while "Dongba" is actually the area around Zhengcun Dam.

1. "Milk Room" is a horse farm. There is a village in Cuigezhuang Township in the north called "Nitizifang". The terminus of buses 944 and 939 from Wangjing is located in "Nitizifang". The origin of the milk room is related to the fact that this place was originally a horse farm. During the Yuan Dynasty, Liao and Jin Dynasties, Mongolians loved to drink mare's milk wine, so this was a place where horses were raised to produce milk for drinking by the Mongolian nobles. Over time, this place was also called the "Mare Milk House". From the late Qing Dynasty to the early Republic of China, the village developed into east and west villages, known as "Ma Naizi East Village" and "Ma Naizi West Village". In 1979, the place name here was changed to "Nai Zi Fang", but it is still divided into "Nai East Village" and "Nai West Village".

2. Laiguang Camp was once the Zhenglan Banner Barracks. Laiguangying Township was the location of the military camp of Zhenglan Banner in the Qing Dynasty, commonly known as "Lanying". Later, after it became a village, it was called "Laiying" with the homonym. In 1908, the name "Laiguangying" was first used. From the Ming and Qing dynasties to the Republic of China, Laiguang Camp was an important garrison site for governments of various dynasties, and there are still some ruins of old barracks. There were originally 32 natural villages in Laiguangying Township. The regional characteristics of those years can be seen from the names of some villages. For example, there are many village names with the word "ying" in Laiguangying Township. Now there are Laiguangying, Warrior Camp, Qinghe Camp and Huangjun camp are both related to the garrison of troops stationed in the early Ming Dynasty and the garrison of the Eight Banners to defend the capital in the Qing Dynasty.

3. There are many "cemeteries" in Wangjing West Garden. Since Laiguangying was located in the suburbs during the Ming and Qing Dynasties, this area was also a royal cemetery. Dignitaries, maids and eunuchs in the palace, and even some relatives of the emperor are also buried here. In terms of place names, there were as many as 14 villages with "graves" in Guangying Township in the past, such as "Shijiafeng", "Zhaojiafeng", "Prince's Tomb", "Six Princesses' Tomb", etc.

"Shijiafen" village is now located on the west side of Kangdu Community in Australia. It is one of the few remaining old villages in Wangjing, but it is currently included in the scope of demolition. "Zhaojiafen" is the current area of ??Wangjing West Garden. The "Sixth Princess Tomb" near Wanghe Bridge is the tomb of Princess Shouen Gulun, the sixth daughter of Emperor Daoguang of the Qing Dynasty. The Ming and Qing tombs excavated on Wangjing West Road some time ago also show that there were once large cemeteries in Wangjing. From the 1960s to the early 1980s, the names of these villages in Guangying Township were successively changed to "cun", "zhuang" and "tun" at the end of the word "grave".

4. Interesting changes - "Panthoxylum bungeanum" - "Huajiadi" - "Painter's land" is located in the Huajiadi community in the northeast corner of the North Fourth Ring Road. It was originally a peppercorn field. . "It turns out that this is a farmland with large areas of peppercorns planted on it, so this area is also called peppercorn land." The older generation of "Old Wangjing" told reporters. In early 1988, Chengkai Group built the first batch of residential communities in Wangjing Community in this pepper field. The homophony of Huajiao Land was called "Huajiadi Community". Now Huajia Di has been divided into several large areas such as "Huajiadi Xili", "Huajiadi Beili", "Huajiadi South" and "Huajiadi". It is a larger residential area in Wangjing. A few years ago, because the Central Academy of Fine Arts moved to Huajiadi, a large number of artists gathered nearby. "Huajiadi" gradually became nicknamed "Painters' Land", but its real original name was "Huajiao Di". "Almost forgotten.

The original Wangjing was a village, and most of the land in the current "Wangjing Community" did not originally belong to Wangjing. The area north of Nanhu East Park on the north side of Wangjing, including Wangjing Garden, Wangjing Science and Technology Park, etc., was originally under the jurisdiction of Laiguangying Township; while the area south of Atlantic New City on the south side basically belonged to Jiangtai Township. The real Wangjing is located in Wangjing Village next to Jingshun Road. Nanhu, Beihu and Donghu originally belonged to Laiguangying; the Nanhu Dongyuan Community on the northwest side of Wangjing used to belong to the three villages of Nanhuqu, Beihuqu and Donghuqu. These three villages were originally under the jurisdiction of Laiguangying Township. Nanhu Canal has long since been demolished, and now multiple residential areas have been built on its site. The current residential areas of Nanhuquxili, Jijingqinyuan, Yinling International, Nanhudongyuan, Nanhuzhongyuan and Nanhuxiyuan were originally the locations of the original Nanhuqu Village. Two villages, Donghuqu and Beihuqu, still exist. East Lake Canal is located on the west side of Wangjing Garden and east of Beixiaohe Park. It is now an "urban village" in Wangjing. Beihu Canal is located northwest of Wangjing, and a large number of residents still live here.

Since large-scale construction began in 1994, Wangjing, an area of ??special significance, has undergone continuous changes and development and has become a medium-level new city with a regional commercial center. Ten years ago, Wangjing was a desolate "small village" on the edge of Beijing. Ten years later, Wangjing has become the largest international residential community in Asia. The rapid development of Wangjing has shocked the world. Now it is discovered that Wangjing has the following major changes:

The traffic bottleneck has been quickly broken

Wangjing is known as "easy to get in but difficult to get out" , but in the past two years, Wangjing's traffic environment is undergoing earth-shaking changes. On the one hand, the internal transportation network organization of Wangjing has been improved. Many previously dead-end roads have been connected and opened to traffic, and isolation belts have been added on both sides of the road, which has changed to a certain extent the traffic chaos caused by unmanned management in the past; on the other hand, Wangjing Opened up the communication artery with the periphery. Metro Line 13 passes through Wangjing West, making it easier for residents to quickly access the East-West Second and Third Ring Roads. Coupled with the planned Metro Line 4, the power of rail transit cannot be underestimated in the Wangjing area. At the same time, with the completion and opening of Wangjing West Road and Futong East Street into the hinterland of Wangjing, the traffic congestion problem of "can't get out in the morning and can't get in at night" that plagues Wangjing will be effectively solved.

Wangjing second-hand housing leads the market style

Residential projects developed in Wangjing area are mostly high-rise towers and high-rise slab buildings. Most of them are mid-range projects, mainly two-bedroom and three-bedroom. The market supply is relatively single. In order to change the past situation of too single products in the development of new areas, the projects currently entering the Wangjing area are mainly high-end apartments, luxury homes and office buildings, large-scale public buildings and commercial supporting centers, and also include large-scale cultural and entertainment centers.

First: The number of new properties is limited and prices are high.

Second: Second-hand properties are moderately priced and unique.

The Wangjing area was developed after the 1990s. The developed houses cover almost the entire area. Most of these houses have very novel layouts, with large bedrooms, large living rooms, and kitchens with relatively complete facilities, breaking the traditional second-hand house layout of small bedrooms, small living rooms, and kitchens. Many second-hand houses have With fine decoration and high taste

Third: The overall quality of home buyers has improved.

If the main population of Wangjing in the 1990s was "upstairs" in the process of urbanization "Local farmers, then, with the arrival of multinational companies such as Samsung Electronics, Siemens, Panasonic, LG, and Motorola from South Korea, the residential population has become more and more homogeneous---highly educated white-collar workers have increasingly become the mainstream residential population in Wangjing. . In addition, Wangjing is also famous as a "Korean Village" due to the concentration of Koreans. By the end of 2007, there were approximately 80,000 Koreans living in Wangjing, accounting for 90% of the total number of Koreans in Beijing. Korean clothing, Korean barbecue, and Korean specialty stores are all popping up in Wangjing. In South Korea, Wangjing is becoming more and more famous. Even many Koreans who have never been to Beijing know that Wangjing is the "village" with the largest concentration of Koreans in Beijing.

With the entry of more foreign companies in the next two to three years, more and more middle- and high-income groups will choose to buy property in Wangjing. With the realization of Wangjing's blueprint, the construction of high-tech parks, the continuous improvement of transportation, living, education, medical, shopping, and entertainment facilities, and the improvement of employment environment and living quality, Wangjing will once again become a property that people pay attention to. Hotspot.

Business facilities are being upgraded

In the past two years, Wangjing’s infrastructure renovation has attracted a large number of international retailers. B&Q, Aijia Home Furnishing, and Jiamao Hualian Commercial Building are located on the North Fifth Ring Road. , Huatang Shopping Mall, Liubaiben, Carrefour, Wangjing International Commercial Center, IKEA Wangjing Store, Wal-Mart, Auchan, New World Department Store, Hollywood Studios, etc. According to statistics, the newly added commercial area in Wangjing area this year alone has reached 600,000 square meters, and Wangjing's business facilities are rising rapidly.

Fortune 500 companies are actively stationed in Canada's Nortel Networks China headquarters and R&D center.

Motorola China headquarters and R&D center. Ericsson China Headquarters and R&D Center. Samsung Electronics (China) Service Headquarters. Agilent Technologies, USA. BMW Automotive Electronics R&D Center in Germany. Beijing Benz Building. Lucent Technologies Bell Labs. Sony Ericsson China Headquarters, etc.

Efforts to build three major bases

In addition to the above-mentioned "high-tech R&D bases" represented by well-known companies such as Motorola and Samsung Electronics, Wangjing is also committed to building "Entrepreneurship Base for International Students". This move is mainly to train overseas students and provide good conditions for their development.

Wangjing has now formed: a gathering base for high-tech enterprises, a development base for private enterprises, and an entrepreneurial base for overseas students. Based on this, we do not need to predict conservatively that Wangjing will surely develop into a cluster of high-tech industries and modern manufacturing.
