With the continuous progress of the transformation of historical and cultural blocks
. 
A few days ago, at the site of Zhonghe Road, Taicheng street, Taishan City, the construction team excavated a section of slate road in the construction section
. 
Why are there stone roads here? How long is this section of stone road? What is the story behind it? In order to better study this section of the stone road, yesterday, the Taishan Municipal Bureau of culture, radio, tourism and sports also invited Qiu Licheng, former deputy director and researcher of the Provincial Institute of cultural relics and archaeology, to the scene
. 
The reporter also followed the research team and visited the construction site
. 
Shiban road was the main traffic artery in that year
. 
At the junction of Taicheng street, Zhonghe street and Weixin Road, there was an open space surrounded by a construction iron frame
. 
When you walk in, you can see that the open space has been excavated about 50 cm deep
. 
Under it is a stone road composed of more than 10 stone slabs
. 
The size of each stone slab is about 38 cm wide and 1.5 m long
. 
The area of the stone slab road found is about 4.5 square meters
. 
On the other side of the street, the construction team also found a section of stone road composed of nine stone slabs
.
It is understood that this year Taishan will continue to carry out the transformation of historical and cultural blocks
.
The discovery of slate road was found in the construction team’s sewer project
.
At present, the construction of the stone slab road section has been temporarily suspended
.
This morning, Qiu Licheng, former deputy director and researcher of the Provincial Institute of cultural relics and archaeology, came to the scene and carefully studied this section of stone road
.
According to the field research and historical records, Qiu Licheng believes that Shiban road can be judged as the product of the late Qing Dynasty, which is consistent with the urban development of Xinning County in 1882
.
“At present, in the province, stone roads generally appear in rural areas, and the width is generally 3 or 5 blocks
.
It is rare to find such a stone road with a width of more than 3 meters in Taishan
.
At that time, two-way traffic was available
.
It can be seen that this section of the road was very prosperous at that time, and it was the main traffic artery
.
” Qiu Licheng said that the discovery of Shiban road plays an important role in studying the history and economic development of Taishan
.
According to Xinning County annals in the 19th year of Guangxu, Zhonghe street was located in Xining City, the old city of Taicheng
.
Xining was founded in 1882
.
The location of Xining city is also marked in detail in the attached figure of Xinning County annals in the 19th year of Guangxu
.
“At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the population of Taishan increased rapidly, and the old Taicheng district could not meet the needs of economic and trade development, so Xining city came into being
.
The stone road found in the construction should have been built in Xining city 100 years ago
.
” Feng Haoran, a staff member of Taishan Museum, said that in 1924, the county government began to demolish the city walls, build roads and set up new streets
.
At that time, the county government made a unified planning for the west of the old city, and built many exquisite arcades, which became the city of Xining that people see today
.
In other words, with the development of social economy, Xining city continues to transform, and the original stone road is sealed underground
.
The slate road will be further excavated and sorted out
.
Qiu Licheng said that in the next step, the local relevant departments should do a good job in the data work of the slate road as soon as possible, further determine the length, thickness, width and stratigraphic relationship of the slate Road, and prepare the report of the slate road
.
The discovery of slate road has aroused the attention of many social circles
.
In recent days, many history lovers have come to the scene and launched an appeal for conservation research
.
Li Baida, director of Jiangmen overseas Chinese history society, after on-the-spot observation, believed that the stone slab road was of great research value
.
The appearance of slate road reproduces the rudiment of Xining City, which is extremely rare
.
Li Baida suggested that the slate road should be preserved and protected in situ, leaving a historical memory
.
Qiu Licheng said that relevant departments should complete the protection plan as soon as possible
.
It is suggested to refer to the design of Beijing Road in Guangzhou, cover it with glass and take greening measures to protect it
.
At the same time, Zhonghe road is suggested to be a one-way road, and the Weixin road along the direction of the stone road can be set as a sidewalk to strengthen the protection of the stone road
.
Xu jieying, head of the culture, industry and sports unit of the culture, radio, tourism and Sports Bureau of Taishan City, said that next, we will work with the construction management center and the construction unit to further excavate and sort out the Shiban road according to the expert opinions, and at the same time prepare the protection plan, so as to better show the history of the development of Taishan City to all visitors

In 1929, Zhonghe Road, Taicheng city (photo source: provided by Taishan Municipal Archives Bureau) in 1920s, Yanxi Hotel, Xirong Road, Taicheng city (photo source: provided by Taishan Municipal Archives Bureau) Dongfeng Hotel (formerly Yanxi Hotel) protected the site of Xining city’s banking and information institutions
.
One hundred years ago, Xining city was the most prosperous area and the most important financial center in Taicheng city
.
At that time, Taishan received a large number of remittances from overseas, which promoted the development of Taishan’s financial industry
.
During the period of the Republic of China, there were as many as 100 institutions and shops in Taicheng, of which nearly 80% were located in Xining
.
At that time, there were Taishan’s most famous banks: Tianhua bank, Dazheng bank, Yifeng bank, Huafeng bank, Yuheng bank, Baoquan bank, etc
.
According to the building regulations of the Republic of China, Xining city still has the feeling of time and space shuttle when walking into Xining city
.
The original appearance of the block is almost completely preserved
.
Many arcade streets crisscross, forming a arcade building group with arcade colonnade and building facade along the street
.
Now, with the continuous progress of the transformation of historical and cultural blocks, the old appearance of Xining arcade, which is covered by the advertising signs, is once again in the spotlight
.
According to the records, many history lovers have found the original sites of a number of famous banks and credit institutions, such as Gongxin bank in Zhonghe street and Jianxin bank in Nanchang Street
.
Tan Chuming, deputy to Jiangmen people’s Congress, recently walked into the renovation site of historical and cultural blocks
.
He stated that there is still a long way to go for the research, development and utilization of Yinxin culture
.
The discovery of Shiban road is a good opportunity
.
We should continue to extend the protection research and protection to the whole Xining city to protect the Yinxin institution site
.
In March this year, he put forward the proposal on the protection and publicity of Yinxin (Overseas Chinese approval) culture
.
Among them, he pointed out that the existing Yinxin institution sites should be protected, restored, utilized and developed
.
The government legislates to protect the sites of banks and credit institutions
.
For the preserved sites of banks and credit institutions, the government can apply to the cultural protection unit for protection, and there is a fixed budget for protection
.
Restore some Yinxin institutions, restore the scenes of that year, try to preserve the original historical appearance, and do a good job of promotion and introduction on the basis of protection, so that the citizens and tourists can visit, and make the long-standing Yinxin institution site “live”
