Tianjin Quanyechang Building

Tianjin Quanyechang can be said to have experienced the rise and fall of Tianjin's commercial development since modern times. I remember when I was in middle school and heard about Tianjin Quanyechang, which is a famous shopping mall with Beijing Wangfujing Shanghai 100! I went to Tianjin on a business trip and went to turn around. Now, with the prosperity of online shopping, the big famous shopping malls in the past are not the same as before.

Quanyechang was built and opened in 1928, and the sixth and seventh floors were added as entertainment facilities such as theaters in 1931. Quanyechang was a large shopping mall in Tianjin, and it is also a large business and entertainment area integrating business and entertainment.

I haven't been to Tianjin for a long time. I took advantage of the weekend to go there. There are crowds everywhere, and everyone comes to relax. Quanyechang is one of the most crowded places in Tianjin city, but I think there are mostly foreigners.

Binjiang Road Commercial Street is the most prosperous and longest commercial street in Tianjin, which has a history of more than 100 years and can be said to have a deep origin with the entire development and growth of Tianjin. Quanyechang area is the earliest place to develop business in Tianjin, many old brands are here, with the years ago now it has become Tianjin's bustling commercial culture street, but also the famous Jinmen night market.

Quanyechang is the iconic representative of Tianjin commerce, located at the junction of Heping Road and Binjiang Road, built in 1928, "Quanyechang" was known as: the city in the city, the city in the city, it can be said that Tianjin formed a modern pattern of prosperity from "Quanyechang" began. And when it comes to persuasion, it has to start with a person and a piece of cockroach. This person is Gaoxing Bridge, the founder of persuasion. Gaoxingqiao came to Tianjin with his grandfather in 1881, and his father worked in Tianjin for iron since childhood, and then spent nine years in the old city of Yixue, and his brother worked as a scorpion on the railway and coal mine. Because Gaoxingqiao people are smart and clever, he learned German during the coal mine, was heavy by the German Hannagen, transferred him into the account, and because of the excellent work Gaoxingqiao was promoted to the manager of the coal mine sales office, from then Gaoxingqiao rose, gradually became a coal industry comprador, And he had a deep friendship with Hannagan. In 1918, a world war in Germany lost, coal mine director Hannagen to return to Germany, he gave all his industry in China to Gaoxingqiao, Gaoxingqiao acting Dehua Bank, "Cheshire" restaurant and many other German merchants in China industry. Taking this opportunity, he actively invested in real estate, built a "transportation hotel" "Wilson building", and then jointly set up a large shopping mall with others "persuasion field", becoming a typical representative of the comprador who was made by foreigners at that time. "Tianjin Quanyechang", the plaque is solid and powerful, written by the famous calligrapher Hua Shikui, the then "Quanyechang" boss Gao Xingqiao found Hua Shikui, and asked him to write at the price of 100 oceans per word, five words are 500 oceans. At this price, you can buy 250 bags of high-grade flour at that time. Since there was no technology to enlarge and shrink the words today, so how much the scale needed to be, you have to write how much. At that time, Mr. Hua Shikui put together three big eight immortal tables and spread them on paper. Mr. Hua Shikui has only two big-character lists in his life, except for Beijing's "Peace Gate", which is Tianjin's "Persuasion Field". Quanyechang officially opened on December 12, 1928, at the beginning of the opening, until liberation, the first to the third floor rented to each store, stalls. It main business, daily department stores, cloth satin, various utensils, clocks, jewelry, four treasures of the study, old books and antiques, etc. The most interesting thing is that it is not only a shopping mall, but also a large entertainment venue. At that time, the mall had "eight days", namely, Tiangong Cinema, Tianhuajing Theater, Tianle Theater, Tiansheng Theater, Grand View Garden, Tianweiqiu Club, Tianlu Tea House and roof garden. Tianwaitian. At that time, there were frequent performances in Tianhuajing Theater with the famous corner of Peking Opera, which was full day and night. This form of shopping mall was unique in northern China at that time.
