Guozijian Street is located in Dongcheng District, Beijing, starting from Lama Temple Street in the east and Andingmennei Street in the west. It is a well-known archway street in Beijing, also known as "Chengxian Street". Guozijian Street is the old street of Dadu in the Yuan Dynasty. At that time, Taixue was set up here. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, it was the Confucian Temple (No. 13) and Guozijian (No. 15), with a history of more than 700 years. The entire ancient street is 680 meters long and 12 meters wide. There are 4 arches on the street. The arches on the east and west ends of the street are street arches and are titled "Chengxian Street"; there are two other arches on both sides of the gate of Guozijian, which are titled "Guozijian" to show respect for important national universities. There are dismounting steles on the east and west sides of the archway, on which are engraved "officials, etc., dismount at this point" in Manchu, Han, Mongolian, Tibetan, Hui, and Tote. Emperor Qianlong praised it as "the capital is the first good district, and the Guozijian is the first good place". In addition to the archway, Guozijian, and Confucian Temple, there are many cultural relics on this street. There is a shadow wall in the south of the street facing the gate of Guozijian. On the south side of the road, No. 40, Guozijian Street, used to be the Zaojun Temple, and No. 78, Guozijian Street, used to be the Fire Temple. The Zaojun Temple has been demolished, and the existing gate, main hall, main hall and east and west side halls of the Fire Temple are dedicated to the God of Fire, Emperor Guan and Luban. The No. 3 courtyard of Guozijian is the Songtang Museum. It is a private museum that exhibits gate piers, ancient statues, decorative components of ancient buildings, and various wood and stone carvings. On both sides of the ancient street are mostly low and neat courtyard houses with gray walls and gray tiles, which preserve the style of the streets and alleys of old Beijing. There are locust trees on both sides, the shade of green crowns and the four painted arches, large and small houses, and temples contrast with each other. It is quiet and quiet, making the whole Guozijian Street full of antique flavor.
Guozijian Street is also called Chengxian Street. The Lama Palace is across the road to the east. There are always many people here, except in the early morning. There are Confucian Temple and Guozijian in the north of the street. Book a visit and it is bustling.
On weekends, the Korean Wengong Temple, which is to the north of Guozijian (old Beijing commonly known as the back), was still early, so I had to walk to Guozijian Street first. Decades ago, the Capital Library was located in Guozijian. When I went to high school, I often came to Guozijian to borrow books and read books. Yuan Dade Decade (1306), Beijing Guozijian was founded, originally called Beiping County School, as of 2017, has a history of 711 years, is the highest national college and education administrative institution of the three generations of Yuan, Ming and Qing. Now Guozijian has become a tourist attraction. Before the college entrance examination every year, many students come to Guozijian and the Confucian Temple to worship. Enter Guozijian Street, face a archway, book "Chengxian Street", and then go inside. There is a book "Guozijian" archway outside the gate of Guozijian dozens of meters. The streets are crowded, mostly tourists with children. There are also a lot of shopping on the street, especially those selling lotus and lotus, which is very attractive. When I came to this street, I deeply felt the profound heritage and profoundness of Chinese culture.
Guozijian, located at No. 15 Guozijian Street (Chengxian Street in Ming and Qing Dynasty), adjacent to the Confucian Temple, was built in the 24th year of Yuan to Yuan (1287). During the Ming Dynasty, the two-Beijing system was exercised, and there were Guozijian in Nanjing and Beijing respectively.
There is a Guozijian in Beijing. This Guozijian is the past Taixue, and it is also the highest institution in ancient China. In the university of Beijing, Guozijian should be said to be the highest institution. On the west side of the Confucius Temple is Guozijian, and the two yards are built together.
Guozijian Street, in Andingmen, Dongcheng District, Beijing, is an east-west alley. The Qing Dynasty name "Chengxian Street", because of the Confucian Temple and Guozijian here, also known as Guozijian Hutong. On June 14, 2008, the ancient street of Guozijian with a history of more than 700 years was re-emerged with the "old face". After the renovation, the Confucian Temple and Guozijian have restored the historical pattern and regulations, and officially opened to the outside world. Guozijian Street is the only street in Beijing that has archway. There are four archway buildings on the street, one at the east and west streets, the question "Chengxian Street", the question of the left and right of the Guozijian, the question of the question "Guozijian".
Guozijian Street is named after Guozijian. Guozijian was once the capital library. I think this was the largest library in Beijing that was open to the society. Even my college entrance examination examination room was here. Guozijian is one of the oldest alleys in Beijing. In 2005, the Capital Library moved out. In 2006, Beijing Guozijian and Confucius Temple established the Beijing Confucius Temple and Guozijian Management Office. It is a historical and cultural tourist attraction.
